Colorado State Championships Points Race – Mario Kart Style

Bayfoos is pleased to announce a points race leading up to the Colorado State Table Soccer Championships. We’ll host 12 tournaments between now and November 1st, starting this Tuesday Sept 13th with a Monster Draw. Players will accumulate points, and top finishers in each category will win prizes.

Category 3: $150 in cash

Category 2: $75 in cash

Category 1: $50 in free entry

Unlike previous bayfoos points races, we’ll be running this Mario Kart style. (No, we do not mean you’re allowed to shell your opponents.) You’ll get points based on your overall finish in each tournament, with 1st place and 2nd place getting bonus points. Larger turnouts also means more points.

The finish points formula will be Number of Teams – Team Finish + 1. For example, if there are 12 teams and you place 5th, you’ll receive 8 finish points (just like in Mario Kart). First place will receive 3 bonus points. Second place will receive 1 bonus point. More examples:

1st place in an 8 person event: finish points = (8 – 1 + 1) = 8, bonus points = 3, total = 11 points.

2nd place in an 8 person event: finish points = (8 – 2 + 1) = 7, bonus points = 1, total = 8 points.

3rd place in an 8 person event: finish points = (8 – 3 + 1) = 6, bonus points = 0, total = 6 points.

4th place in an 8 person event: finish points = (8 – 4+ 1) = 5, bonus points = 0, total = 5 points.

8th place in an 8 person event: finish points = (8 – 8 + 1) = 1, bonus points = 0, total = 1 point.

For Monster Draws and Singles events, we’ll be using the Number of Players as the base instead of the Number of Teams. (For example, 1st place in a 16 player monster draw would 16+3 = 19 points total.)

We don’t expect many ties at the end of 12 events, but if they do happen the tied players will split the prize. Players can compete for prizes above their category, so a category 2 player can win the category 3 prize. Players cannot win more than one prize.

More details to come. We’ll announce schedule and player categories later this week. Send us questions in the SF Foos facebook group.

“Where should I play foosball for fun?

Sometimes new foosball players don’t want to enter tournaments, and they ask us “Where should I play foosball for fun?” And sometimes the most experienced players just want to goof around and show off trick shots. We’ve got options!

Tuesday nights, California Billiards: tables on free play from 7-8pm, lots of people practicing and playing pick-ups before the tournament starts. We also run Casino Night once a month, pick-up games and prizes until 11pm.

Thursday nights, Emporium SF: pick-up games, sometimes. Check with the SF Foos facebook group, if you’re interested, other people will be too.

Friday nights, Cuetopia Billiard Cafe: almost always 8-12 players playing pick-ups on Fridays!

There are also occasional meet-ups in San Ramon; check the facebook group if you’re interested.

All skill levels are welcome, whether you’re brand new to the game, a seasoned pro, or anywhere in between.
