Thanks, Bruce!                     Tyler

[PUSH MASTER]

WELL HELLO BRUCE LONG TIME NO SEE OR HEAR, HOPE YOU ARE  OK. I THINK I AM GOING TO BRING THE PUSH OUT OF RETIREMENT. I MISS THE GAME . TAKE CARE BUDDY . TTYL THE PUSH MASTER  HIGH POINT N.C

[MrBasso]

I am thinking of taking the bold step of attending this event - It would be my first tourney ever.

Somebody talk me into it. (It wouldn't take much)

[Alan Cribbs]

Todd,

This will be a good tournament to attend.
But this year's NC State will be the largest.
It will be the 35th Annual NC State Foosball Championship.
The first weekend in October.


Come to both.

[MrBasso]

I would like to make it to both.  Timing is an issue though - not to mention the plane flight costs.

I think I will take the opportunity to go to this one and see what things look like in October.  I'm pretty excited and looking forward to taking in the tourney experience.

Any first timer advice?

[MrBasso]

Hey Alan

I have a question for you regarding the milling of the players feet.  I have my original set of player figures that have a custom "France vs Portugal" paint job and would like to use them on my table.  Do you bring your tools/equipment to make the modifications or is this something you do back in NC?

[Alan Cribbs]

T
Todd,

I do it back in NC.
It's pretty simple to take the rod off and send the assembly to me.
Depending on my schedule I can usually do a quick turn around.
You'll only need to pay for shipping.

Hi Alan

Thanks for the response.

By the way, will you be attending the SC event? - or will you still be in Puerto Rico  .  I was hoping you would be there such that we can finally meet.  If not, I guess it will have to wait until October.

I also had a few questions regarding the tourney: 

How difficult is it to wrangle partners for the doubles events?  I'd like to play in every event humanly possible and would need some unsuspecting victims willing participants to team up with in Novice, Mixed and Open doubles.
What is 3200 Ltd Doubles? - my guess is that teams must have less than 3200 points combined in the Bonzini USA rankings.  Am I close?

Should I bring my own handles?

I'd appreciate any info you (or anyone else out there) can pass along.

regards
Todd

[Tyler Foos]

Todd,

- Getting partners at Bonzini USA events is usually not difficult. I plan on making the trip (novice) without partners for anything, have done so in the past, and have never been disappointed.

- You are correct about 3200 limited doubles, with the additional comment that this one's a no-masters as well.

- Alan has no problem with players bringing their own handles, I bring my own to his events.

I only jumped in because I know Alan has limited computer access while in PR, and wanted to get you answers ASAP. Hope to see you in SC.

Tyler

[alaris]

I don't have an Open Doubles partner. I am a member of the SCFPA.
Let me know if you are interested.
Alan will be there.

Rebecca Terry

[MrBasso]

Hey Tyler - thanks alot for the info and you will see me there.  I've booked my flight and am raring to go!

Hi Rebecca -
South Carolina Foster Parent Association?
Société canadienne-française de Prince Albert?

Both respectable organizations but I'm guessing you mean the "South Carolina Foosball Players Association" (Is that right?) 
Anyway - I graciously accept your offer (or were you making the offer to Tyler).  Of course you have the option of dropping me if I don't think I'm up to the task once you see me play.  I'll be playing the Novice on Friday and you can get a peak.

Thanks again to both of you
Todd

[alaris]

Todd,

Offer was to you and I'm glad you accepted. I will be there about 5:30 on Friday when I get off work.
Let me know if you want to play forward or goalie, I'm fine with either one.

See you there,

Rebecca

 

[MrBasso]

Hey Rebecca

Sounds great. I like both but prefer forward - maybe we'll see how it goes and switch around as required.  I haven't booked my hotel yet but will be staying at the Fairfield Inn (as noted above).

See you at registration
Todd (Williams)

[Alan Cribbs]

Thanks for the assitance T-Man and Rebecca,

Just got to a terminal to catch up.


Todd,
Definately bring your own handles. We've gone to the European mode of setting up the tables without the handles. And for those of you that didn't know already, even though the tables will not have handles we will sign out handles for your match when called if you do not own any.

I'll definately be there and looking forward to touching a table again.
