  • The 1st Tuesday DYP Points Race is Over – Congrats to All the Winners!

    This past Tuesday marked the end of our first Tuesday DYP Points Race.   Over the 9 weeks, we had 47 different local foosers show up to participate – WOW!   We’re growing!  Thank you to each and every one who showed up and supported the new Tuesday night tournaments.  Also, a big thank you goes out to Dana for designing and making the trophy for us – we all love it!

    As one of the organizers, I definitely noticed 2 big things that made the DYPs extra special (in no particular order):

    1. More Googlers!  Matt has made a conscious effort to spread the news out to the Google foos email list, and as a result, we’ve had more and more Googlers show up to our tournaments.  Thank you, Matt!
    2. Teaching – our veteran and more experienced players have been openly sharing their knowledge to the newer generation of foosers, and as a result, they want to come back and they’re improving quickly.  As a player who got plenty of instruction from so many local foosers, I cannot stress just how valuable this is.

    Tuesday night tournaments will continue, and we will definitely be having another points race in the future.

    Now, the winners:

    Overall Winner – Dana
    Top Expert player – Tony
    Top Amateur player – Daniel
    Top Attendance – Mo

  • Points Race Updates

    Only 3 more weeks to go before our first Tuesday DYP Points Race comes to an end.  It looks like a close race for all the categories, so the next several weeks will prove exciting!

    Several people have asked about potential tie-breaks.  We’ve decided on the following tie-break rules:

    In case of a tie, the following tie-break rules will apply. This applies to the Top Attendance category as well.

    1. # of bonus points vs. # of attendance points – Player with more bonus points wins.
    2. winning record – Player with more 1st place finishes wins. If a tie still exists, the player with more 2nd place finishes wins, and so on.
