In my professional Oracle divine opinionated opinion!

Everyone talks shit about this game, Jedi included, how bad ass we all are, and yet all we do to back it up with a 5 buck gamble..

Personally, I don't care what the entry is, im still going to dish out punishment.
But if it was 10 in a DYP and singles, I would be left to assume that there would be less players acting like circus clowns across the table, and your partner just might play a little harder, possibly realizing that its not funzy foos night, and the heat is "ON.

I like foos nights because it’s cheap entertainment. Once you start making entries $10, + $1 slides…it can start to impact my monthly budget (especially cause I suck lately and am not practicing).

That’s $50 - $80 a month (not including drinks), which is something that might scare away some players. New players are absolutely not going to pay $10 entries. I’m with Ryan that we need a new rookie only tourney.

But if $10 is going to bring out the big dogs, I’m all for it. Though we all know foosball players are not driven by money, so long term, higher entries wouldn’t work in my opinion. Maybe once a month do something special like Tommy is doing this week.

PS - $1 slides suck BALLS. It’s brutal in singles and pick up games. I used to budget $5 in quarters for the night for pick ups and tourney games, and it’s way more now.

I love it when Boogie puts things in prospective. Everybody understand now?

Jedi calls bullshit.

It snowed last night and driving conditions were hampered.

Jedi calls bullshit.

The world is round.

Just reporting the facts that have been presented before us in the last 35+ years of Foos.

No need to comment on your other drabble. (also due to my foos facts that have been presented to the foos community)

Yeah I'm sure foosers are looking forward to losing those foot stomping, table jarring, grumpy f*ck, self praising circus clowns from foosball.

I work for a living, and if 10 dollars for an entry is going to stop me from playing, then I shouldn't even be playing this game.. I travel longer miles than anyone else to play this game in the metro..and anyone that has played on my side may vouch that half the time i lay in the slide a buck just to get the next game going. I don't care what i spend on the game, because its a foos career to me!

If a newbie is going to pick up the game, just because the entry is cheap, then they are really missing out on what the game is really all about, and that's winning, winning the hard way from the beginning with all the hard knocks and blows of losing like all of us endured, that are great players now.. They are just going to have to apply themselves to their best learning abilities, against the players like from BCs or anywhere else for that matter..

Now, i do understand the issue of scaring of newbies, because the competitive level is off the charts now days.. But this isn't the time to start feeling sorry for the new comer's..If they really want to learn the game and be a part of the player base that is a driving force in this state, then they are just going to have to jump right on in there like everyone else did..
We all had to apply ourselves to get where we all are now, and we didn't apply ourselves to be winners, just because the entry is a 5 buck gamble..

We as the best player base in the world, cant play rebuttal and go back and forth with this issue like a flip of a coin... We need to establish a higher rate of entry for weekly events, that simple!

its only going to make the game better in the long run, because if you build it, they will come..

has anyone read the quote at the bottom lately?

Well played Nick!

Is this why you can't win a state or major title?

Lmao. We can no longer call the forward stuffing a "bitchslap". Bitchslap has already been defined in red above. I have to come down now. Anybody need a partner?

Big Baller for the win.
