Hi Iceman,

No, I didn't. I didn't even go to Aschaffenburg, which would have been a 2 hour drive. The reason is that I'm not good enough to play tournaments yet. I'm still working on getting a functioning offensive system and I can't pass at all.

If I can manage to get my own table this fall, I'll visit some tournaments next year. I still won't be good enough to win any games then, but at least I won't look like a complete idiot.

What about you? Any plans for playing a couple of tournaments over here in the future? You might like it...

As a matter of fact, yes I was there. Had a blast as usual. It was my second tourney this year across the pond as the first was the Bonzini Worlds in Eaubonne France. Although he was not there this year, Brad Tsr was also there last year at Garlando Worlds. We also enjoy watching all the Euros faces when we play pick up games using the American style on the Euro designed tables especially when he starts shooting his slingshot from the three rod and I start shooting my pull shot from the big dot. When he and I dominated the table at World Cup in Hamburg, Germany, not only was it great fun, it was priceless.

And Brad, would you believe it only got into the mid 70s the first three days there and down to the 50s at night? Nobody brought a jacket to wear.

Also Brad, the word is out. I believe the second week in Jan. of next year. The Multi table Championships and .......... yep, the World Cup will go on at the same time in Nantes, France. Kiss the chillins and board the dog, you gotta make this one.

And bodygroove, next time we're out your way, we'll let you know we're coming and you'll have to come out even if just to say hello.

How could I possibly say "no" to this? Next time you're in Germany (or maybe even Belgium or Netherlands) just let me know, and I'll be there. Not only to say hello, but also to watch your mean and evil American shots...

Hey Ice,

What are the dates on that, and is it strictly qualifiers, or are there other events you can show up and enter.

Thanks and see you on the foos trail.

According to the ITSF web site it's Jan 8 thru the 11, and they usually have some type of draws for people to play in. You might want to keep up with the info on the ITSF site.
