Last Wednesday was absolutely a renaissance - a rebirth of organized,
tournament-play foosball in Pittsburgh. If you missed it, don't
worry - we'll be there again in 3 weeks! Stay tuned for the exact
date.
Some very positive notes from the 30th:1. There ARE some very good players hiding in Pittsburgh! I saw
excellent stick, tic-tac, and brush passing, along with a lot of
skilled shots (pull, push, pull-kick, push-kick, front-pin, back-pin,
and snake shots).
2. Everyone is very nice! There were no egos, just friendly people
looking to play, learn, be challenged, and have fun.
3. Brewski's management is 100% supportive of bringing foosball
tournaments back to Brewski's. By the next meet up, new men and
bearings will be in place to bring the table back up to tournament-
ready status.
4. There were 8 players there and more to come next time. Many of the players knew of others that also play and are very motivated to bring them down for the next one. E-mail addresses have been gathered to make sure this keeps progressing.
If you are able, please tell other players of what is happening with foosball at Brewski's. Ideally, have them post on
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Foosball_PA or e-mail me at mainlinefoos@gmail.com.
Please post up if you were there and provide your comments (did you have a good time? will you be back?). If you weren't there, please post up and provide any feedback (is this something that works for you? would you want to attend the next one?).
With good communication, there is no reason why can't all have our foos and eat it too!
Thank you,
Matt
