That has never been my intention. But to support a Denver Tournament, Absolutely I will try to support that and it dosn't interfere with the doubles start time at Americas. One starts at 7:30 and the other starts at 11:00-11:30.

Rank: Newbie Joined: 10/28/2013(UTC) Posts: 2,105 Location: Colorado		Originally Posted by: coloradorules As I stated before, the people who originally started the Tourney got off work at, between, 10:30 and 11:00 and they had no Idea there was another tourney anywhere in Denver. They are not and have never been about disrupting another tournament. the very few people who knew about this tournament did not alert anyone to this tournament, so that it would not disrupt a tournament that was already going on. Most people would not attend this tournament anyway because of the late night start. I understand, but do those people only work on Thursday? I was just wondering why not another night. It really has been accepted as taboo to run another tourney locally on the same night another tourney has already been established locally.

That they would decide to run a Foosball tourney. the table they had was an old tornado that could barely keep a ball steady on the table. This turned into such a good turnout for the Bar that the bar owner decided to get a brand new Tornado, and then two New Tornado's. These people were all coworkers who were stepping onto a new frontier(so to speak). They had NO IDEA that there were any Existing Foosball Tournaments anywhere in Colorado. So they could have no idea that they might be messing with another tournament night. None of these people were involved in tournaments, they were all coworkers. It slowly grew from there.

Just curious. I have heard about this tourney now from more than a handful of foosers who know about and have played at Americas.

But most all of the people who play there are local Denver area players, and don't attend other Tournaments anyway. Thursday is the day they started on, why change it? Only 2,3 or 4 people that go to Americas even try to go to 404.

We don't really have a North Metro option that would be easier for our Northern and Boulder folk. It seemed like both Ecks on Friday and Golden Cue on Saturday were rocking at the time. 404 isn't that far North but could be a good Saturday option for a DYP that might help those locals along and give Northerners an option.

No reason to open it up to sharks who are going to make the tourney not fun for them. The late start time works great. A few pros who go show them how it's meant to be played, but not too serious... Seems like a great foos oasis for the casual players. Nice work Rog teaching them the basics! X

Bring your partner if you want or just show up and draw your partner to play in the same bracket as the DYP power teams. It would add variety to the competition at the already best competition in the state.

I guess I just like supporting Denver Venues. Since you are on the Colorado Committee,Tim, What is with not putting Tina in the Colorado hall of fame this year?

I didn't know Vicki back in my early years of foos but I definitely knew Gil, Tom, and Tina. If you wait until next year though, Tina would be an awesome inductee along with Kevin Everson since they were a team in those early years as players and promoters, as well as Bob Gibson and Bob Maloney since they all developed into top players during that same time frame. It's a win/win either way Roger if you look at it. Edited by user Thursday, October 2, 2014 4:52:38 PM(UTC)  | Reason: Not specified
