[SouFooPro TOP MONEY WINNERS] ... [NEWS & ANNOUNCEMENTS]

8-15-2019

Attention tournament participants The tournament play-off process needs to be time-efficient! .....Guys, we had only six teams participating in Decatur Wednesday night for the 8pm DYP and didnÕt finish the tournament by the locations closing time at midnight. Ridiculous in my opinion. I donÕt want to invite players out to play tournaments that are potentially not going to finish. Please let me know your thoughts on what needs to be done in order to be able to finish these tournaments. Single elimination? / Earlier start time? / One game instead of 3 games format?
Meanwhile, I pasted below some information thatÕs on the Standard Procedures area of SouFooPro:

It is intended to be a top-priority and goal of this foosball tournament program, to coordinate itÕs tournament events as time-efficiently as possible for the benefit, enjoyment, and satisfaction of it's participating players, most of whom,Êmay need to juggle priorities with work and family in order to create their opportunity to play foosball in this way. The popular tournament play-off structure is Òdouble-elimination bracket-playÓ with winners determined by a series of games played. Since this format creates the potential for a substantial amount of foosball to be played in order to reach a winning team, the tournament coordination process needs to be time-efficient. Time-efficiency should include a process ofÊon-time starting as close to the scheduled event time as possible, then, coordinating the matches as efficiently as possible with an effort to arrive at a champion team as quickly as possible. ÊIn order to help the process, participating players should do their part by being on-time and ambitiously available to play theirÊmatches promptly when applicable. ÊAll pre-tournament pickup games and/or between-match practice-play involving the tournament foosball tables should end immediately upon the presents of the players that are to be involved in the matches called. Do not hold up the tournament playoff process.

Check out the foosball tables in Hanceville, Alabama where has often been a hot spot for foosball in the past. OUTBREAK GAMES is a shop specializing in card and board games and now has two very nice Tornado foosball tables set up and will serve as a location to coordinate foosball tournaments. WeÕve already played a few tournaments at the site and have decided to make it an EVERY WEEK foosball gathering. Make plans to join us on Sunday evenings for a draw-for-partner "spotÕadvance type" tournament at 4pm. Anyone can play, hope to see you there. [PHOTO] [2]

The 6 Pockets Bar & Billiards is now set up to become the new host of the ProgramÕs "EVERY WEDNESDAY" foosball tournament activity as of February 2019.
Competition of the North Alabama Open was recently presented at the "6 Pockets" location and several teams from surrounding areas turned out for the multiple event foosball tournament. Twenty-two players entered the open singles event where Randy Raposo, traveling from the BÕham area to compete, remained undefeated during the event earning the first place title. A couple of players out of Mississippi captured the open doubles title-Shannon Coley & Keith Bates. The photo shown is of the two teams playing for the championship win of the open doubles event where Shannon & Keith outlasted the come-back efforts of the Chattanooga,TN team, Bruce Stancel & Todd Brooks, in a two-match finale. Eleven teams had entered the open doubles event. Additional results are listed above.
The EVERY-WEEK tournament effort will remain, at this time, on a notification status--which means a text, or email, message will be sent to those that have requested to be informed when a turnout is expected and/or when someone will be in attendance as coordinator of a potential event. There are two or more Tornado foosball tables on location regularly at this time. Be sure to watch the schedule and announcements for periodical special events. Thanks...Rodney

I often use the back side of scrap paper to print tournament charts used on location for the foos-tournaments these days. I have a large stack of used paper that I take from which includes old foosball tournament flyers and the similar. Sometimes while using these charts what is printed on the other side grabs someone's attention. I thought I would share this one today because it took me back to fun memories of a few years back with the foosball action that we had going on at that time.ÊÊThis page happen to be a page that was included in one of the mail-out newsletters that I use to distribute to players via postal mail that included the tournament schedule, results and so forth--before we used the internet. This was a distribution during the summer of 1998. Notice the locations listed where we played and the tournaments that were scheduled. It turned into a fun "flash-back" as I passed the page around the tournament room. Some remembered the time period and some did not... See [OLD NEWS].

The long-time foosball tournament location for the Alabama Foosball Program in Birmingham, The Break Restaurant & Billiards, sold the property and closed itÕs location back in November of 2018. I was recently in the Five-Points-South area where it was located and noticed that the building has already been totally demolished and removed making room for a new high-rise building to be built on the property. I mention because, I want to let those interested know that the Break owner mentioned plans to re-open the business in a different location. He also stated that heÕd like to include the foosball tables but said that it would be at least a year before the new location will be ready.

2-1-2019

A Blast from the Past! Be sure to check out the Leigh OÕQuinn photo collections that I recently added: [LEIGH OÕQUINN BLAST FROM THE PAST]. Long time "Alabama Great" foosball player out of Tuscaloosa, Leigh OÕQuinn, recently gave me permission to share some of his collection of photos that were taken back in the 1980Õs. Included are photoÕs taken during a foosball tournament he and Cindy Head coordinated during the early 1980Õs at a foosball location in Bessemmer, Alabama.

1-1-2019

As of June 2018, The Cullman Bowling Center is closed for a major remodeling project and the foosball tables have been removed for the process. Management has stated interest is to keep the foosball Program once the remodel project is complete if possible. My fingers are crossed since the property improvements will create a favorable atmosphere for the foosball activities that weÕve enjoyed at that site for so many years. The business improvement plans include a restaurant/bar creation. Looking forward to potentially continuing the tournament program in Cullman once the Cullman Bowling Center re-opens for business. Thanks for your patience during this period.
The Cullman Bowling Center did re-open for business; unfortunately, no room for foosball at this time.
Also, I recently removed the foosball table that was on location in Montgomery at RicÕn Moes.

ALABAMA FOOSBALL PROGRAM..... foosball tournament notes:
Due to the varying skill levels of the local players participating--along with an interest in creating an inviting atmosphere for the "beginner" and/or "new" player participation--the popular weekly tournament format is the spot-in-advance draw-your-partner(DYP) tournament. The format dictates the possibility of spot advantages. For example, according to a projected "level of experience" of a team of players paired together compared to the experience level of their opponents, sometimes the format dictates one team having to score additional points in order to win a particular game during competition while the other team only has to score the traditional 5 points in order to win that game. Find a place to participate. Let me know if youÕd like to coordinate this type event in your area, IÕd be happy to provide you with the things you need including the charts and instructions.
*There are alternative competing options allowed for players to participate in our tournaments, they include: the Buddy System and Mr. Recruiter.
*During the Programs' events we will allow a protection circumstance for rule violations committed by players with limited tournament experience and those who are not yet accustom to playing by the official rules of play. The spirit of the rule violation protection procedure is to allow new players some flexibility when it comes to the rules while participating in the Programs tournaments. In other words, we don't want to discourage new players from participating our tournament events simply because they are unfamiliar with rules of play, or perhaps their style of play may conflict a simple rule or two. We do want to encourage players to play by the rules but, for those that need, we want to allow a grace period that will allow them to compete according to their style of play while gradually learning to play according to the official guidelines of play.
*FYI: The popular play-off structure is Òdouble-elimination bracket-playÓ with winners determined by the Òbest-of-three-gamesÓ matches. Since this format creates the potential for a fair amount of foosball to be played in order to reach a winning team, the tournament coordination process needs to be time-efficient. Participating players should be on time and available and ambitious to play their matches when applicable. It rarely ever happens, but in case the tournament does not finish before business closing time, the tournament shall resume the following week one hour prior to regular start time.

IN MEMORY OF.....Shortly after I started playing foosball back in the very late 1970's, I became interested in creating a competitive opportunity for my friends and I, and for all those in my area that enjoyed playing the game at that time. Eventually, I was encouraged to expand my tournament promotional efforts into other areas of Alabama and ultimately into the surrounding states which became an effort that I referred to as our Southern Foosball Program. ÊAlong with this project came an opportunity that I cherish, I had the privilege of meeting a lot of people of whom share the similar interest as I in this unique game/sport of foosball. Along the way, special friendships have developed and an expanded community of foosball enthusiasts exists as a result. Periodically, I receive the dreaded notifications about a fellow foosball player that has passed away. Regretfully, I usually want to share this information among the foosball community. With all due respect and condolences, I would like to keep the memory of these beloved individuals among us as we continue. Please see: [IN MEMORY OF]
ÉThanks, Rodney JenkinsÊ

Direct your questions or comments to the Southern Foosball Program/Rodney Jenkins at (256) 734-6349, or by email: jenkins@southernfoosball.com.

It's my intention to include submitted information that will help any persons interested in finding foosball activity in areas scattered throughout the Southeastern USA. If you know of places where coordinated efforts have established an event, whether it's every-week, bi-weekly, or even monthly, if it's presented in sportsmanlike fashion and if it's open to anyone to participate, please submit this information to jenkins@southernfoosball.com. It's very likely we will add that information here so that possibly others will learn of it and open the door for the possibility of growth in the local player base.
