==== Basic Steps to Consider ====
Find a table location (home/bar/gameroom/retailer/sports arena/public park)..
ideally a 2+table location but you can start with 1 table.
Commit to making 1 recurring foos time at this location (every wed from 8 to 11pm at the bar / every tuesday noon to 2pm at the college game room / 1st saturday of each month at your local retailer)
Pick a format for the recurring foos event (practice time / beat the pro / king of the hill challenge / fun foos / social foos with foos videos on tv / tournaments)
Get the word out to increase turnout (flyers, flyers, flyers in strategic locations)
Follow through on the committment ... post flyers, show up at the recurring time...
Keep things flexible and fun.. and change the format if need be... you'll want to have 8 or so regulars before you start the all to typical DYP tournaments.... some of our more fun events are just playing pickup games.... winners usually stay on the table and choose format of next game, challengers have to pay quarters if it's coin op location.... add a small wager like $1 a game if that works for your crew.
==== Advanced Steps to Consider! ====
Operate your own foosball tables (coin op, or time play tables) if you have a tough time finding decent tables in your area.
Work a deal with a public foos location in your area that NEEDS you to maintain the table and launch promotions for them. They should be able to make it a win-win with you... if you needs are minimal.

p.s. this is one area where we really want to dive in and help folks get started promoting foos locally
