Site UpdatesWe found some time to add a Calendar and Download Manager. We have started to populate the Calendar with the upcoming Foosball Events like DYP's and Tournaments. In the Downloads section you will find all the videos that we have and they are organized by category.
Foosapalooza 5
Updates here including some tournament charts. Check out the photo gallery as well.
Foosapalooza 2008 is now over. It was a good tournament but the turnout could have been better. There was some good matches though so check out the results. Once we know the Semi-Pro doubles results we will post them.
HD Slow Motion Video
We have posted some videos from a HD camcorder for your viewing pleasure. These are posted in the training section on the side menu. Sorry that these are only in WMV format for now so it should work with Internet Explorer and Firefox (Correct Plugin). We will convert these to flash so users on Linux and MAC's can view them easily as well.
USTSA Ratings
The new ratings and rankings are now done. They can be found at VIFA and the ratings by itself at Foosline.

Site Speed
We have reorganized the videos to provide a better experience as it
was brought to our attention (Thank's Tri) that it can be slow loading
the page when all the videos are on one page. For now we have removed
the embeded videos and have given you the option to save the videos or
just click to open them in a new window. If we can find a better
extension in the future to allow embeded videos without loading the
videos first we will give it another try.
Right now the site is hosted off of a home Shaw connection which is
not great for uploading (Downloading in your case) content. If Shaw
offers a better solution in the future we will get it but for now just
save the videos and view them later once they are dowloaded.
We took a video of the Open-Doubles final where Ang & Ivor
double dipped Eric & Greg. There were a few issues during the
match but if you watch and listen you might see what I noticed. The
defence in goal and five bar by Ivor and Ang made the difference. How
many times did Ivor block Eric???? I will let you guys count them as
in game 4 of the second set it was something too see.
Check the Foosapalooza 2008 link to download the MP4 video. You can use Quicktime or VLC to view. |

Juliet's Castle - Monday Nights |
|
From Andy Udell
Back in action - at a new location
With 2 brand new silver sided Tornado tables - the first 'in bar' tables in Calgary. It's a decent location that's easy to get to, and ripping good wings. I have lots of space, foosball friendly owners, and karaoke on Fridays.
I'm going to be there alot over the next few months and beyond, and guarantee that these will be the best kept & cleanest tables in the city.
For you guys heading to Vegas (these are the tables you'll be playing on) the handles are a little larger than current, and they play great.
C'mon down & check them out.
