I am sure that WFT will fix it, but I was surprised to see one of the top players in the world casually entered in the Beginner Singles field for next month.
I am looking forward to seeing him and Adam play in person, though. Just maybe not in the Pro-Am.
Join us at the 4th Annual 'Yooper Championships of Foosball' tournament. Two nights and a full day of foosball! The main event begins Saturday, October 3rd at Rock River Lanes in Ishpeming, MI.
Five Tornado tables (T-3000). Full bar and kitchen on premise. Finals will be streamed on Twitch.
We have multiple events for all skill levels from Beginner to Pro, with many competitive players participating at both ends of the spectrum. 100% payout with trophies for 1st and 2nd place. Juniors (youth) play free!
This tournament follows the WFT rulebook (modified ITSF).
So yeah last year at world’s they had 100 tables and needed to use all of them. The turnout is expected to be much larger this year so what’s the magic number of tables gonna be??? Place your bets 120, 150, 200 tables???
Tell me a number but if it’s like 117 or 203 I’m gonna give you the side eye.
They only really matter for seeding, since no one moves up until after that tournament. I am not sure how much they matter even for that in the lower divisions, where the number of new entrants and returning players is likely to be very high and more relevant than in higher groups.
It is interesting to see who is moving up. I would like to see WFT publish a full list of promotions at the end of the season, especially since that information is already available to those who have the patience to look it up.
By looking up likely candidates I have found only one person on the cusp of Pro-Master - Hannah Bufkin is sitting at 4999. Oakes and Stahl Jr. are both within 50 points. That could all change depending on performance relative to seed in the tournament, of course.
