I'm looking for a partner if anyone is interested. I'm pretty green but am likely better than nothing. I’m Nick’s friend, Josh. I've shown up at BC's the last few tournaments.

Turns out I can't make it this Friday. The pot just got smaller, sorry guys. However, I will resume my donations in a couple weeks...not next week, cuz I will be winning next week.

Lmmfao! Skum brings even more life to the once dead board! Well played!

STFU
If the goalie scores they get the next drop in the goalie area. If you stuff a goalie you get the point and the drop in your goalie area. (3 Bar stuff only) neither carry over to next game.
Very simple as not to confuse any Jedi's
top goalie gets 10% points marked on the bracket sheet.
$10.00 entry

Its about time the entry went up, it sure would be great to see it stay at a 10 buck payment. In fact, $20 would be more like it...this baby sissy 5 dollar entry has truly gotten old!!!!!!!
I mean, after all, how long has it been, 35 years?
Its time for a change in the entry fee!

One thing for sure, a 10 or 20 buck entry may separate the Pros from the Conn's.
not to mention force other things in a players game...

I would love to see a 20 buck entry for a weekly singles tournament, who has the balls for that!

Im in...........

I actually wouldn't mind seeing the entries go up to $10, especially to offset the raise to $1/game. As long as we have a weekly DYP for the beginners to go and spend $5 on, I don't think it would hurt the turnouts.

This is supposed to be the Mecca of foos, and we only have one decent tournament a week (I'm not counting 404) where you spend almost as much on quarters as you do the entry. I'm not saying we need any high stakes action, but bump it up a little bit so that when players get 2nd or 3rd, they don't just barely break even after quarters and gas. I'll still come out and play either way because I love the sport but some more motivation would be nice. Nothing screams "I'm not serious about foos" more than a $5 entry. Well, maybe Nick's 2-bar.

IMO a test here and there with the $10 entry would be cool, to see what happens. ((maybe it brings out more of the big guns cuz it'll be worth their time). And that would be awesome!) idk, but we can find out by trying it!

But if it was done every week and became the standard, I could see it making it that much less accessible to new players to the game, ESPECIALLY considering BC's only being a bring.

Why does a tiny place like Vail have kick ass tourneys and a fun scene? Anyone can show up, pay a measly $5 and potentially have a chance to draw someone good and do well. It builds repeat 'customers'. There's an aspect of HOPE. And over time, that breeds SKILL by those who want to consistently do well.

Imagine the drop-out rate we've had with people who LOVE the game of foosball, but eventually get over it cuz they basically cant EVER win even a single match at tourneys.

Just food for thought words there.

I KNOW if Ecks woulda been my original stomping ground before I got decent at all..., I might have been like "fuck those guys", and not been interested in tournament foosball. But with having a gentler introduction to tourney foos through Cameron Cross's tourneys in FC, it def made me go from 'liking' the game, to LOVING it, and eventually even getting a solid handful more new players into it.

A man after my Jedi mind!


Hey i know what , lets start with a dollar, and work the entry up from there in another 35 years, when we get to 5 bucks again, we can see where the game level is..

Then the third generation of players can get on the 9 th Colo foosball forum, (that is if there is colo foosball in 2050) and post a bitch complaint as to why the entry has never gone past 5 bucks in the last 70 years, that is if there is any players left in the next 35 years, much less pros and pro-masters...

i have preached about this baby sissy 5 clams for an entry for what we call a professional sport so long ago...

Well ok, here we are again...
