We’re halfway through King and Prince of the Hill, and we’ve got several players making a bid for the title. The King receives a bonus $1000, trophy, and jacket. Our Prince will receive a slick trophy designed by students at Freestyle Academy in Mountain View.

King of the Hill

Prince of the Hill

We are two days away from the start of Prince of the Hill, we’ve got 9 confirmed teams set to play. Sign-ups close at noon on Saturday, Sep 26.

If you want to play but aren’t partnered up, let me know. I’ll randomly pair any remaining players at noon on Saturday. (If we have an odd number of players, someone is going to get left out. I’ll buy them lunch and then they can help me run the tournament.)

Handicap Monster Rules

• Each game is to 7 points.
• Each beginner on each gets a point spot. (Example: if two beginners play two rookies, the beginner team starts with two points)
• Point spots cancel out. (Example: if a beginner/rookie team plays another beginner/rookie team, both teams start with 0 points.)
• If a team is giving up a point spot, they serve first.
• Example: if a beginner/rookie team plays a rookie/rookie team, the beginner/rookie team starts with 1 point, but the rookie/rookie team serves the ball.

Are you a Beginner or Rookie foosball player that wishes you could play in King of the Hill?

Are you sad because KOTH is restricted to Amateurs, Experts, Pros, and Masters?

Do you wish you had your own event that you could win?

Prince of the Hill Sign-Ups Are Open!

Here’s how it works:

1. You enter as a team. Entry fees are $100 per person, and each person enters all four events.
2. You and your partner show up at California Billiards on September 26-27th.
3. You play four events: Doubles, Singles, a Double Elimination Draw, and our wildcard: a Handicap Monster Draw where anything can happen.
4. Winners of each event win cash, and earn points towards the Prince of the Hill title.

We will emerge with only one Prince of the Hill, but everyone can have a good time. And we have a $1500 to $2800 guaranteed payout, so you might even win some money too!

This is a new type of tournament, and we want players to be able to try it out risk-free. We will only run this event if get 10 confirmed teams (20 players). If you want to play, register in advance, and e-mail bayfoos@gmail.com to let us know who you are playing with. If we don’t get 10 confirmed teams by Aug 31, we’ll cancel the event, and give you a full refund.

Space is limited: we can accept at most 16 teams. Find your partners now!
