Foosball -- The Game of Champions
(This Web page is still under construction; please be patient!)
Last updated 5/15/95.
Well, after resisting the urge for many years, I've finally conceded that
the future of foosball lies largely with Tornado tables, and so I have now
begun the process of improving my skill level at tournament-style foos.
So far, in DYP (draw your partner) doubles tourneys I have placed
1st (twice), 3rd (more than twice), and tied for 2nd-to-last a bunch
of times. Not too bad,
I think. My passing and 5-bar really bite right now, and the pros generally
kick my butt all over the place, but I'm getting better. My 3-man and 2-man
shots are getting there, and I'm getting the hang of defending rollovers.
My goal (!) is to improve enough to play in some big money tournaments and
have at least a slim chance of doing OK.
Here
is the table that I used to play on a lot. It's a glass-top Dynamo that
Bob Mackey got for the house back in '85 or '86. I helped put it together.
