Fireball would like to invite the Canadians to Portland, Oregon, the first weekend in Oct. Western Open on 10 Fireball Coin Op models. These are the tables that were to have their debut in Seattle. We know how that turned out. This event will be held at the PDX Red Lion. Free shuttle to and from the airport less than a mile away. Please take a minute and take a look at the flier. http://www.fireballtablesoccer.com/joomla15/tour-poster.html?start=1 If you have any questions, feel free to email me at Brad at Fireballtable soccer dot com Thank you, Brad Laurine |

So what is the special room rate is it 65+tax or is it lower than that? |
| ||

$65 plus tax is the lowest rate possible. It goes through the GM at the Red Lion. He request that we email him directly at gm.rlpdx@bhghotels.com. Request the room nights, foosball group, number of beds, visa to hold the room and your name. Look forward to a massive showing by the Canadians. Thanks, Brad |

Alas, I don't think I'll be making this one. This time I want to go but have something else I need to do. Usually with foolsball, I have nothing I need to do and don't want to go. |
| ||
|
This one is just a biiiit to far for me. |
| ||
|
I'd like to go... looking for Amateur and Open partners (and a shared ride from Vancouver). |
| ||
|
Not that I'm going, but, Craig how are you getting down? Driving Friday night and returning as soon as it's over on Sunday? |
| ||
|
As much as I would love to go to this one, no one from Edmonton is planning to go so that makes the trip a little costly. No Boom Boom Room this year  |
| ||
|
Yeah, flights to the bart o are cheaper, and it has way bigger payouts... Would like to play on Fireball again, but gotta do texas instead this time. |
| ||
|
That would suck not having you guys drop down from the great white north. The pay outs at the Bart are much bigger and Austin is a great place to party. Fireball and I were there last year. 30 tables of greased lightning. Flights to both places, $500.00 each. How bout two weekends... come on down! as Bob Barker would say. |
| ||
|
Unfortunately I just can't do it... We'll miss this one, but I'll be at WSO next year. |
| ||
|
Are Canadians allowed back to the WSO?  |

Great white north?Good god,you bloody Americans!!Y'all think we live in igloos?  Besides,we like to think of them as Ice Houses. That's o.k.,Alberta has had the best economy in NorthAmerica the last 5 years.No doubt this is at least partly due to the absence of a stellar leader like George W.Bush,the solid C student that Y'all elected twice,not that all Americans talk like that(just the vast majority). All kidding aside,with our economy the way it is,that tourney should be taking place here--with one caveat. The aforementioned condition being that when you do decide to hold a another tourney here,the voice of foosball must accompany you as well. Of course,I am referring to the incomparable Jim Stevens.A professional level tournament demands a professional level commentator,indeed an elite commentator. Surely the mistake in judgement Tornado Foos made in excluding Jim will not be repeated.In the short time I have known Jim and t he few words I have exchanged with him,he impressed me as a genuine individual.Just my two cents. |

whats wrong with being called the Great White North We are great (at least I am )We have snow on the ground at least 6 months of the year We are north BTW Geroge Bush was only elected once. The ballot was fixed for his second term. Thank florida for that screw up. |

By the way,Brian is going down to Austin.Were presently building a shelf at Juliet's for the hardware he is going take from those Texans. |

Ladies and Gentleman, I hope to make it a good to great event. We have an awesome software program that calls out the chart. Loads and feeds. Nice set up. Bar is attached to the room for those that like to partake in Adult beverages. 10 awesome tables. Great lighting for each table. It should be a professional event despite being ran by Americans.  Mike Holbert picked out the Medals and Trophies, I hope you will find them attractive enough to want to win. http://www.fireballtablesoccer.com/joomla15/news.html?start=1 Any questions, please feel free to call or write me. Brad (at) Fireballtablesoccer (dot) com or see the flier for the number. Later, Brad |

The artwork on the medals/trophies looks like a shot at Tornado... it's a foos eats foos world, isn't it. |
| ||
|
Tornado doesn't have holes in the feet like fireball has.  |
| ||
|
Eureka! I think i just figured out why some say you can't tick tac the ball as well as on a Tornado ... hmmm. Maybe find a way to make the very sides solid yet the foot hollow ... should improve tick tac ability? |

Tornado foos men have different shaped holes, but has them nevertheless. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/images/B001023R4S/ref=dp_image_0?ie=UTF8&n=3375251&s=sporting-goods |
