Will there be a Fooaspalooza in 2009? If so, will it be in April?

Pretty sure they are not running one this year. We were looking at trying to run a tournament in April/May. This would be similar to ones run in Edmonton in years past. Have a DYP on Saturday night perhaps singles late Saturday afternoon and doubles on Sunday.

I posted this earlier in a seperate thread. I have been talking to SML for a while about this, and they have decided not to run a foozapalooza this year.

However… I have been working on gathering up a sponsor or two for a larger scale full weekend tournament in Edmonton. If this falls into place it will be run in May. The format will be similar to Foozapalooza, with a DYP on Friday night, then events on Saturday and Sunday. We will attempt to finish the Sunday events by a decent time so that travelling Foosers can make it home for Monday. I don’t have a name for this potential tournament yet, but Chad and I will announce something within the next week or two based on feedback from players and sponsors.

this message board is hard to use. Do you think I should start a new thread just to summarize?


Author: .Garry Reply #7 Posted: Mar 3 2009 5:41PM

so you want to start a third thread... that sounds about right...

I just recieved an email from Dean of SML Entertainment... And the story has changed. He asked if I am interested in having Foosapalooza in April either April 3-5, April 10-12(easter) or April 17-19th at the Oval in Calgary.

If there is interest then I will agree to it.

As a side note, Chad and I have ordered three T-3000's to replace the current T-2000's that are in Gateway right now. We probably won't recieve them until late march because all of the production right now is going into tables for the HOFC.
