Overall Winner: $100 cash

Top Player: Expert: $50 cash

Top Player: Rookie: $50 in free tournament entries

So, how do you win? Show up and play! The better you do the more points you get. Everyone who attends gets one attendance point. Bonus points depend on which events we play.

Monster DYP with Doubles Playoffs:

1st place team: 4 points each

2nd place team: 3 points each

3rd place team: 2 points each

        4th place team: 1 points each

Open Singles/Handicap Singles/Monster DYP with Singles Playoffs:

2nd place: 3 points

3rd place: 2 points

3rd place: 3 points

4th place: 2.5 points

5th place: 2 points

6th place: 1.5 points

7th place: 1 point

Players can win at most one prize. If somebody wins multiple categories, that’s amazing, we’ll give them the higher value prize and an extra pat on the back. 2nd place in the category will take the lower value prize.

In case of a tie, the following tie-break rules will apply:

  1. Number of finishing points vs number of attendance points: the player with more finishing points win.
  2. Winning record: the player with more 1st place finishes wins, then with more 2nd place finishes, etc…

We’re using Bayfoos local points for categories. Top prize is open to everyone. Expert prize is open to anyone with under 3000 points. Rookie prize is open to anyone with under 1500 points.

Hall of Fame Classic Warm-Up Tournament

Schedule for the Hall of Fame Classic Warm-Up Foosball Tournament has been posted.

Some highlights:

The Monster DYP on Friday night should be a blast. Seeding rounds will have random partners, but at the end of the evening only the top 8 will make the playoffs… and they won’t know in advance who their partner will be. Should be quite a battle.

Forward Shootout on Saturday! First time we’ve run this event that I can remember.

Open Singles and Open Doubles on Saturday as well: come test your game against the best in the bay!

2K Singles and 2K Doubles on Sunday: only to anyone with <2k local points. We’ve gotten great turnout for these events, looking forward to good competition here.
