THEN, it suddenly occurred to me at 4am why the results weren't updated.

Congrats to our two title winners! Ryan Moore won open doubles and the master BYP, and Christian Ewing won the Main St. DYP.

Competition must have been pretty strong...I thought CO would take home a lot more than what it did.

Dude, Ross got 5th in OS. Did you see the results list? It's pretty much foosball legends and badasses for the top 25 spots. I'd take cashing in Open at the 2nd or 3rd toughest tourney in the country over a "title" any day. Plus 4th in PS.

And then Kristin and Dana whooped some serious Pro Master asses in Open events. Kristin is an AM, and beating multiple Pro Masters. Gena Murray and Liz Hill?? Liz is arguably the best female fooser ever along with Cindy Head.

Dana is an Expert, Colter is a Pro, and they almost took OM against the country's top PM's. Lueras, Terry Rue, Ryan Moore, John Smith, Robbie...that's fucking sick.

CJ also had a big run in Pro, beating John Smith (World Champ in Open, and in the HOF), and other top pros...

Lexy and Sandy beat some Pro Masters and World Champs in OWD.

Kane has some great results too.

Not sure what all you thought CO should have done that they didn't...but I think what they accomplished is pretty awesome. TX State may as well be the 3rd major. Even Tony only got one title unless you count the DYP. Competition was nasty.

Maybe if they would have played 2 ranks below what their skill level was, they would have won an easy title. lol

The only player you listed who I thought would do much better is Brubaker. He was crushing it here the last few weeks.

He posted that he's just having a bad weekend - sucks. He's not an expert, so he's only got 2 ranks to do well in, and those are loaded charts. Not a lot of wiggle room for having an off match.

Mark's shot is an ejaculation of raw power and glory, but still sometimes a little premature. He has been back-spackling a lot of Colorado foosers lately. With more experience he will quit getting squirted out of brackets like the bad diarrhea he had this weekend.

Ross has been building momentum for years. Lantzys flashes of brilliance shouldnt surprise anyone. I never dumped you bro I just couldnt get outta work. As far as playing better on tour the best players do. Loffedo diddnt win much locally but dominated on tour and still does. Theres a big difference when your playing at a major for hundreds and possibly thousands as opposed to playing for 30 bucks. It's not just $$ its the prestige of competing with the games best that should bring out the best in ones game. Its one thing to be a local stud but its a different dimension when you can take those beatdowns to an opponents front door. Every state has their local studs that never leave their local scene. They have great skillsets but lack "pressure control" when they do finally leave the state. Not only that facing different top notch styles makes ones game stronger in subtle ways. Like X said ross has all the tools. Imagine if he gave up drinking and actually played up to 100% of his potential? He can compete with the games best, he already proved that.

Thanks, X.

Was a lot of fun, little disappointed with how I played over the whole weekend, but that was more an issue of me showing up not fully rested. I didn't necessarily play poorly, but there were too many times when I was lack-luster and/or losing points on hustle plays.

WTF - just got off work so maybe I'm a little drunk ... used wrong fuckin' screen name again ... fuck.

Then it suddenly occurred to me why the bars are closed :)
