With the year 2003 winding down, the foosball world turns its collective attention to Las Vegas and the $200,000 Warrior Indoor/Outdoor Sports extravaganza. This event, which is being held at the Rio Hotel beginning November 28th, will feature most of the top names in the sport of foosball playing for one of the largest purses in recent foosball history. For reservations or information call 866-4foosball or 949-699-2499
(ext 777), or go to http://www.warriortablesoccer.com.

The U.S.T.S.A. has released its latest player ratings, with the top 50 men and 25 women undergoing a badly-needed points reset. Top-rated Rob Mares will begin the 2004 season with 2745 points, with second ranked Terry Moore five points behind him, and third-rated Frederic Collignon five points in back of Terry. The five point spread continues all the way down to number 50 Chad Whipps who is sitting at 2500 points. The points reset should create some very interesting changes to the top 50 after the results of the year's opening event in Las Vegas are factored in.

Speaking of the 2004 opener, the $105,000 Hall of Fame Classic/VIFA International Championships have been moved up two weeks on the calendar to March 3-7 at the Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas. Also on the early 2004 schedule are the $8000 New Years Open in Tulsa, Oklahoma on the weekend of January 9-11, and Mary Moore's annual $18,000 Superbowl of Foosball which is being held in Lexington, Kentucky January 30th-February 2nd.

In recent news from the Tornado Fall Tour, Four-time world champion Tommy Adkisson returned to the winner's circle at the recent Oklahoma State Championships, pairing with Terry Moore to win the Open Doubles title over Tony Spredeman and Amedio Gilmore. However the amazing Spredeman did continue his domination of the singles event by defeating Moore in the final match. Complete OK State results are posted below along with the winners from the always well-attended Halloween Open in Wisconsin, a non pro-master event which featured outstanding performances from several players, most notably Eric Thury in Singles, and Tim Staude and Clint "Tin Man" Firari in the Doubles competition.

Response to our 2003 World Championship DVD sets has been tremendous with sales approaching a record level.  We appreciate all your support and will continue to improve the quality of our productions as we head into the 2004 season. Thanks for all your kind words and positive feedback.
