Rules Questions / Re: Wall count question
« Last post by lambdacalculator on October 15, 2023, 12:43:54 AM »
I would think not as that would also include every time a wall pass is trapped.....

The rules specifically address this situation: "A ball that is trapped on the 5-rod directly following a transition doesn't increase the wall contact count." But I wasn't asking about a trapped ball.

Rules Questions / Wall count question
« Last post by lambdacalculator on October 11, 2023, 05:37:22 PM »
Scenario: I block a 5-3 pass with my 5-rod by deflecting the ball, which stays under my rod but bounces off the wall before I gain control over it.

According to my reading of the ITSF rules, this pre-control contact with the wall is counted as one of my two contacts, since "active possession" began when the ball went under my rod the first time momentarily before I deflected it, which would mean that I only have one more legal wall contact left. Is that the correct interpretation?

Would this change if my block caused the ball to bounce out of reach of my 5-rod towards my opponents 5-rod but spin back into reach and off the wall before I could control it?

General Chat / Re: Converting a coin-operated Tornado foosball table to free play
« Last post by JimWaterman on October 09, 2023, 05:03:39 PM »
I just purchased a Tornado Foosball table (it's a coin-operated model with a brown marble color) and I'd like to set it to free play. It has a "ESD" coin slot with four coin opening, two of which have black spacers/blanks. What size spacers/blanks fit here and can I just insert those to avoid inserting quarters going forward - or is there an easier method to do so?

ESD "blank inserts" would work, but finding "OLD WHITE" ones for the older brown marble tables are a challenge.  If you have a newer coin mech with "NEW BLACK" ones, you can get a few more of these =>  https://shop.foosball.com/comeblin.html and swap 25cent inserts for blank inserts and you are good!

If you can't find "inserts" to do this.. you can sort of "break the mechanism" so that no quarters are needed and still use the push chute to vend a rack of balls at time.

Third option which was stated, remove the ready ramp and train the players to "reach in and down" onto the feeder ramp where you can reach foosball number 10, 11 and 12 (as first 9 balls maybe 10 won't be reachable).    A foos carpenter made this purchasable adapter for making it easer on newbies to find the balls if you try this "remove the ready ramp" option.  ==>> https://shop.foosball.com/frad.html

Greetings!

Back in the day I scored a slightly used Tournament Soccer Table from a tourney in Reno... the table was number 30.  Our family has enjoyed many years of fun with this table.  I recently passed it on to my oldest son.  Son number two is looking for a similar table with the same characteristics... slap shots, banks, one man goalie, etc. Do any of the currently available tables have a similar play style?

Thanks!

NEW tables with quality construction and components that play MOST like the best brown top TS tables would be the Leonhart brand (a German made table).   
https://www.original-leonhart-usa.com/   

You can get leonhart men and other parts for tuning up 5/8" rod tables should you want find a used table close to home with decent cabinet/playfield/rods.

Cheers & Happy Foosing!

General Chat / Feeling Twitchy? You made need a foosball live stream!!
« Last post by JimWaterman on October 08, 2023, 09:22:25 PM »
Good developments of late in the streaming world.   It was great having two live foosball event streams to choose from this weekend!    If you haven't seen tournament foosball, and you want to, look into these two!

If you do "twitch", share your favorite streams.

If you have "other streams" that sooth your foosball itch when you are feeling twitch, share them too!

Are there any human verification tests to create an account on this forum? If so, the bots seem to have it figured out.

Thanks for the suggestion... I'm reviewing this and making a few tweaks!  Fingers crossed!
