How do I
enter? Tournaments
are open to any and all players. You do not ever have
to had entered a tournament before. Sign-up is at 9:00,
entry fee is $6. Find our tournament director (the player
with the clip-board) and tell him you'd like to enter;
or, ask someone for help.
- Do I need a partner?:
No. Tournaments are Draw Your Partner (DYP) format. Players
are arranged by skill levels A & B, then randomly matched
for partners.
- What do I need to bring?:
Nothing. Some people like to bring: gloves, antiperspirant
(for their hands) or other things to improve their grip
on the handles. There is a change machine located in the
tournament room, so no need to stock up on quarters.
- What are the rules?: See
above.
- Can I watch?: Yes! You'd be amazed how
much you'll learn by simply watching the various skill levels
along with the great speed, finesse and power some player
possess.
- I just like to play for fun, why should I enter?:
Because, regardless of your skill level, tournaments are
an incredible amount of fun. People who come to tournaments
are those who love foosball and meeting new people. People
are playing before and after the tournament and will be
glad to show you how to take your game to the next level.
- I usually play on a different type of table:
Then maybe it's the challenge of trying something new that
you'll love. Similar skills are required no matter what
brand of table you normally play on. Everyone will be happy
to show you some tips to make your transition as smooth
as possible.
