getting back on the subject: Make a list of all the players that went to the World Championships during each of the last 10-15 years and no longer go..A Large percentage do not go any more as a result of the problem I mentioned above._________________

As always, to promote foos on the national scale, it needs a national sponsor or two or three.  We should find out which COO's and CEO's that used to foos are doing with promotions at their companies, and systematically approach them.. It is too hard to try to explain the attraction of being a fooser to a non-fooser.  Exactly the same as trying to convey the "thrill" of baseball or golf or curling, for that matter, to non-afficionados.  These games are akin to fraternities/sororities.. but have a really lifelong hook, even addiction, once you're in the group.  And that's what can attract promotional departments and organizations.

The only thing that attracts promotional departments is the oppurtunity to generate awareness for their brands in the public. Sponsors will thrust themselves into the sport as soon as it attracts a lot of spectators. Foosball needs spectators. That means we need more people playing the game, since no one else is ever going to watch it.
