Haha... if only that were a real link, and trust me I checked. I found a used jeep for like $2600 that I might buy when I get paid on Friday. We'll see, maybe I'll try to talk them down a couple hundred bucks. If I can get a vehicle I will definitely be down there for this event. If I can't come up with transportation then I might not make it. To get to St. Louis by train I would have to take the train to Chicago, and then back down to St. Louis, which would be a waste of money and time.

Anybody from the QC area heading down to this tournament?

Yeah, there may be some people coming from the Quad Cities, however I live about an hour south of the quad cities, and haven't even been up there to a Thursday night DYP yet. The only person from QC Foosball that I've even briefly spoken with is Tom Rios, and that was only in regards to what nights they foos in QC, and a few opinions of things.

If I end up not buying a car then I'll ask around to see if anybody from the QC is going to be making the trip down to St. Louis for this event... until then, happy foosing.

I will most likely fail, I'm self-instructed, and haven't played anybody with even an amateur level of play....

I'm pretty happy with my play, I think the one thing I really need to do is... like everyone is saying... get out and play. Get beat up on a little bit, pick up a few things here and there and piece my game together.

Nate, you CANNOT fail ... unless you don't go.   Playing with others who share the same passion, where you can meet them face to face, finding out how you interact with different people, together in the DYPs or brings and against them in matches...  That is your first win.

I'm pretty happy with my play, I think the one thing I really need to do is... like everyone is saying... get out and play. Get beat up on a little bit, pick up a few things here and there and piece my game together.

You should be in for a few surprises, some pleasant, as when you meet someone you can play with very comfortably.    Some will be unsettling, as when you play against your first opponent who's naturally 2-3 times faster than you, without even breaking a sweat.   Hopefully it'll be a great mix, the pleasant surprises to confirm you're human enough to get along with others, and the unsettling ones that show you your own possibilities and potentials.   Break a ball!

Nate,

I hope you make it down.  It will be alot of fun.  There will be players here without a partner, so don't let that stop you from coming.  It is for a great cause!!

That definitely won't stop me from coming. I have the weekend off work, I don't care if I have a partner I'm taking a few days off to visit friends. I think now it boils down to me making this place an offer on a car and them accepting it. I'm about 80% sure, I will let you know by tuesday.

Hey Neil, I spoke with the auto dealership today, I think they're going to meet my budget and drop the price of the vehicle slightly for me. I also called my friends who live right near the landing and now have a place to stay. All things considered I would now rate my chances of showing up at around 95%.

Hell, I might even stay in STL and play in the DYP Sunday night at Stratford.  The reason I leave a 5% margin for error is just in case some absolute disaster happens in the next day or two (like half of my staff quits or something).



Bought a vehicle this morning. I will definitely be there Saturday afternoon. Looking forward to it!!

That's cool to see the results on netfoos but where are the pay outs for some reason St. Louis foosball does not post any cash payouts.

that's because the IRS keeps a close eye on us and they don't want to get bumped up into that higher tax bracket... ;D

Yeah,  the players sure don't wish to be kicked above that $200 K/yr bracket.  Or Obambam's gonna gitcha!  (He originally started at $250 K, then adjusted it variably this week).

How much were the winnings in terms of CDS's and VRM's anyway?  (That's Credit Default Swap unregulated securities and Variable Rate Mortgage points for those who only have the Disney Channel with Nick @ Nite cable /DSS plans with no local channels  ;D)

Then all the players could declare they were a bunch of small businesses, then qualify as part of the $ 175 Billion dollar bailout plan!!  8)
