No Slice, My title was never put up on the line in that point series.. Cam said explicitly that when he asked me if he could use my title name to draw players to the fort Collins tournaments, that if anyone wins it they can not claim owner ship of that title, just bragging rights, because he knew that my title name was established over many years, and that no one can take it away with one win.. plus i was the top point winner in the end of the 11th week, but Cam did a switch-a-roo and added one more week, because it was clear that I won the race of the points. Even after the last singles event of the night that Rose won, I was still in the lead in the points.

The whole 11 week event with one week added to try to throw my lead off didn't work, because in the end of the points race, it really didn't matter about the points, just who won the last week of singles...
To me, it was a fluke event in the long run, because Darrin Rose was like 4th or 5th in points, because Pimp was in second place in points if I recall right...

The Ruler of the North series was originally about being the top point leader in the end of the 11 weeks, just like the 16 week points race for the super singles title, but in the end of the ROTN event, it was changed to keep me from winning by points, because I clearly took 9 weeks of wins out of 12... So the reality is, the Rose is not the R.O.T.N....I was the leader of the points in the end, so why it got all twisted around was always beyond me, I guess just bad foosball politics.

Bottom line, it was badly run for a points race, because I clearly took it by points, and I never put up the name of my title name up for grabs, because if that was the case it would have been advertised as such.

So once again everyone, there you have the facts of the Jedi history, without the propaganda.

Jesus Slice, Boxing, football, pro sports in general have different over all format rules, basically because the millions that is involved. Foosball does not have the same format, foosball is not guided, or governed by the same pro sport rules.
After all, the law of foosball doesn't count rank points to a players over all winning average in event's like the fireball event in 2010, Civil War or cancer benefits, or warm ups and locals. If the law did add all that, then I would be" A Grand Master" long before now!

You just can't compare foosball to any other sports or table games, after all Slice, we don't even have a sound point system that's accurate to most players over all abilities, as I am a prime example of the flaws of the system.

You’re ranked expert. I don’t see a problem with the system on your ranking. I saw Boogie, clearly a true pro smoke you in a tourney and after that I saw Champ, clearly a true pro master smoke Boogie. I don’t see a flaw in that scenario. Clearly you are the ruler of the north for consistency in foos history up there amongst foosers that played regularly up there and your skills in singles are really good for the singles game up to a certain point, but it doesn’t hold up to true pro masters with great transition games and speed. I can’t take anything away from your accomplishments. You play well and fight hard and make many players down here cringe when they play you because quite honestly their singles games are lazy. Keep up the good work and the good fight.
My comments on ROTN really only referred to that particular tourney and how it culminated. Rose pulled off the upset. Kid Thunder mistakenly thought it was City.

I’m pretty sure that the last tourney was promoted as the championship of the ROTN tourney and Rose won. You’re pretty good at digging up old threads so if it’s out there pull it up and if I’m wrong, I’m wrong, otherwise is just a he said/she said situation. Bottom line is if you would’ve finished out that last tourney when the chips were on the line then there is no debate. There’s been a very recent he said/she said table situation with 2 totally different stories. Hmmmmmm.....

No Slice, it was not promoted like that at the start of the 11 week event, only after I clearly took the race in points was there a change made to add another week and do what would be called in my book a qualifying event, and I know without a doubt that the way it ended that it wasn't promoted like mentioned in the beginning..

But for sure without a doubt, I remained the top point leader even after taking second in the last week..lol
Which is what a points race is all about..

But I don't care what TD you are, you don't change the format and rules at the close end of an event, especially after someone already won the race at week 8-9. That's why the desperate change was made to turn it into a qualifying tournament into week 12. Doing that made the total race irrelevant for the Jedi, WHY because I could have not played so hard and just qualify in the top 6 somewhere? and then just kick ass the last week, maybe?
But because it was advertised as a points race, with no hidden options. So since Ruler means dominance, then that's exactly what I was doing and actually did..lol,
just a few weeks before it was over, and to late for anyone to win the race in points... BUT THEN THE SWITCH-A-ROO comes into play anyway despite the no hidden options, just to Dethrone the Jedi from the actual points race.

And here's another thing Slice, WHY IN THE UNHOLY HELL WOULD I MISCONSTRUE THAT EVENT? HUH!
That would take away the meaning of the name Jedi if I was to be deceiving in any of this, but remember that event was about 10-11 years ago, and no one has ever stepped up and chimed in and said otherwise of what I preach...

Does anyone want me to give the run down facts about The Road 34 conspiracy of a year end tally that was so backwards, that not one player that was posted was correct.
After yours truly went through all the posted results and including the hidden black book of Chris Coy, for three fucking sleepless nights of going through everyone that was named, went through it all over and over, because I wanted to fucking know myself.

Well lo and behold, who ends up at the top of the year end results, yep once again dominating, YOURS TRULY
I'll stop here, I already have that location in book form already!
The theme of that story is, The conspiracies to defraud Jedi "The Ruler of the North".

Oh there's one more thing as Columbo would say.
I honestly don't think I was a Master then.

Still he said/she said then, and whenever I read something that you post as how you remember it, the story is totally different from the other side. We’ll just have to leave at you won the regular season but Rose won the championship. You get to brag about all of your wins leading up to the championship but Rose gets to hold up the championship trophy just like the Giants, while the Patriots get a history of ‘only if’ for that year. The cool thing is that Rose doesn’t feel the need to toot his own horn all of the time about I’m master this and I dominated that, you know, ‘only if’. A True Champions work speaks for itself.

Why do you get up on your pedestal and keep accusing everybody of being a hater of you? You just read how you want to read things and not what is actually written. Most get tired of the “I’m so great and you all aren’t worthy” and the “everybody hates the Jedi” BS that you constantly spew in writing. They call you out on it. When somebody beats you, you have to come up with nonsense excuses. Nobody had to get your permission for jack sh*t so stop that high and mighty crap. Did you get a hold of the makers of Star Wars to use the name Jedi? STFU about that idiocracy already. Why don’t you start up a “Masters of Colorado” series with real money on the line and let’s see how you do against Ryan, Robbie, Kane, Rudnicki, Garrett, etc, over the course of 10 weeks? How many times have you beat Garrett or Loffredo for the Senior Singles title at Colorado State?
You seem to be the real hater so I think your nickname should change from Jedi to Darth Hater. I’ve got something for you to try. When somebody tells you nice work when you win or compliments your game, how about trying to respond with a “thanks man, I appreciate it”. Now go have a great day!

See you just proved my point on everything. It’s high and mighty when you beat somebody once but when somebody beats you once you go into this tirade about a series. I mentioned a Master’s series. Why don’t you mention the whole story about Ryan? Why don’t you throw out a challenge to him in a winner takes all money series?
I’ve had wins over Ryan, Champ, Boogie, etc. Big deal, it doesn’t make me a master of anything. Just because Cam asked you about ROTN doesn’t mean that he HAD to get your permission like you stated, just like I stated that you didn’t HAVE to ask permission to use Jedi. Just keep hating and throwing everybody into the Jedi hater bucket, even if it’s not true. I’ll continue to respect your game and believe it or not, cheer you on in matches where I’m cheering you on. I do that even if you don’t think I do, but it is my normal pattern to root for an underdog upset. The fact that I mention upset in a case where somebody beats you should tell you something about what I think of your game. Sheesh!

I don’t want to know actually. I don’t read that nonsense. Besides like I said Masters talk with their game, not some self patting on the back post. That’s between you and yourself. I’m not in the Jedi hater category but I will root for and against you and as always call out and comment on what I feel is BS.

I remember that super bowl, it was the one game the Patriots thought they could win without cheating.....didn't go the way they had hoped.
