Please join members of Team USA as we put on a benefit tournament to help our players to make the costly trip over to Turin, Italy. Show your support by coming to play in these fun events.

I was wondering how many of the Colorado foosers are going to Vegas. Be kinda cool to meet some of you. Give a shout out if you might be going. Thanks!

$10 entries? No payouts at all?

Geez.

Absolutely cannot get on board with giving money over and over to same people to go on a European Foos vacation every year.

First of all, I'm planning to play Expert Dubs on Saturday, and I'm really looking forward to it. It's a blast to play, and it's fun to see everybody.

I've donated to foos related causes before, and I'm happy to do it, but I have no argument at all with Scott's point. This remotely reminds me of an annual charitable cause at my workplace. They put up a Giving Tree in the lobby around Christmas time, supposedly linked to the Salvation Army. You grab a paper "ornament" which describes something needed by a less-fortunate kid. The first couple years, I bought a coat or something and happily donated, figuring this was a practical need. For the last couple of years, I go to the tree and start looking at the "needs." Instead of seeing coats, shoes or whatever, I see requests for games for xbox and playstation. I'm sure my philosophy on this will piss some people off, but fuck that!

I'll be going but just on Saturday. ED and probably OS. Personally, I'd rather see some Team USA shirts instead of trophies since the payouts are zero.

Maybe there should be some kinda pot, besides what's usually in the parking lot, for at least Open Dubs on Friday so that the regular Friday crowd doesn't feel like they are losing their normal Friday tourney.

Come on foosers, will more of you show up on Friday for OD if there is also a cash pot like maybe first place prize money? Give some feedback. Scott, Dustin, Jedi and Daniel....etc?

Hi guys. Thanks for your input. We understand that it may be difficult to donate at times, for whatever reasons. However, like with any sport where it in not fully funded by corporate sponsorship, the expenses have to be paid by fundraising. No one likes this fact, however, it is a fact. We would love to be able to focus solely on training but that is not the reality.

Therefore, for those of you who feel lead and are able to, we really look forward to seeing you this weekend. Let's be honest, for those of us who are die hard foos lovers, we don't even need much of a reason to get together for a couple days of competition, fellowship, and food!

FYI: new Colorado transplant and Legendary foos Icon, Cindy Head will be in attendance, along with team members: Heather Genter, Shelly Langley, myself, Men's coach: Jerry Todd, and Juniors coach: Dan Barber.

Thank you all in advance for your support! :)

Myself and my great Foos partner will be there Friday.

Having a little money for the top three spots in the Friday night Open Dubs would be nice.
We'll be there to support TEAM USA either way.

The spaghetti on Saturday is what I'm really looking forward to.

My question is will the Masters show up for this? Or will it be the guys who are at the tourneys week in an month in, and out.

Good luck in Vegas everyone attending this event.

You're so funny Rog. Of course, you are looking forward to the spaghetti, so I'll solicit your opinion: I'm debating actual spaghetti noodles or Rigatoni and another kind, any preference/ opinion for me? The reason that I was contemplating Rigatoni was because it wont be as messy for the eater.

Also, thanks for your support, so how's your tomorrow looking? Want to come bake up a storm with me/play some foos in between batches?

Shoot actually, does anyone want to come bake with me/play some foos all day and night tomorrow and what is a general consensus on Spaghetti noodle versus Rigatoni, (The tube shape)?

I got to go with ( the tube shape )

That's a possibility on the helping of the baking.
I better not commit though , even though I could use the practice, baking wise and Foos practice wise.

The truth is I have a bunch of work, which is a good thing.

Just curious though, when will this baking/ Foos extravaganza begin?

Unfortunately Ryan will be in Kentucky and Rob has family coming into town this weekend, so they can not make it to the tournament.

We will have some of the top Female players in the World there this weekend!!!

I am happy to say that Victor from Kuwait will be there Friday and Saturday. It may be your only chance to see him before he leaves for Vegas.
