Happy Holidays to everyone from Christina and myself, and best wishes for a tremendous New Year as we welcome in 2004 and the new foosball season. With the pending announcement of the Warrior tour schedule and the always-solid U.S.T.S.A. Tornado tour with their traditional annual events, the new year should be an exciting and lucrative one for tournament foosball players here in North America and all around the world.

At the recent Warrior event held in Las Vegas, Belgium's Frederic Collignon once again staked his claim as the king of the foosball world by sweeping the three main events in his usual overwhelming style. Frederico won Singles, Doubles (with Loffredo) and Mixed Doubles with girlfriend Ingrid Hauben and also added the Goalie War title to his weekend list of achievements. The steadily improving Ms. Hauben also won two other titles, as the foosball-crazy country of Belgium earned first place trophies in 7 of the 19 events. The winners from the recent Vegas event are listed in our results section below.

The 2004 regional season opens, as always, in the state of Oklahoma with the $8000 New Years Open, being held at the Tulsa Billiard Palace the weekend of January 9-11. Promoter Rex Bennett tells us that last year's event, which was advertised at $8000, paid out more than $10,000 in jackets, cash and trophies due to the outstanding player turnout. Go tohttp://www.tulsafoosball.com  for more information on this season-openeing regional championship.

Also on the early 2004 schedule is Independent Foosball Promotions' annual Superbowl of Foosball which is offering $18,000 in cash and prizes on January 29 through February 1. You can find out more about this always exciting event by going to http://www.foosballworld.com/ifp.html.

For all you last-minute Christmas shoppers, you can still order the 2003 World Championship DVDs and have them arrive for Christmas if you order by this Sunday, December 21st, and use Next Day Shipping ($25). If you do wish to have them over-nighted to anywhere in the USA or Canada please email info@insidefoos for specific ordering instructions.

Don't forget, you can pre-order your 2004 U.S.T.S.A. Deluxe DVD Package at a $30 savings if you order before January 15, 2004. You'll receive each of the three major Tornado events (the 6-hour Hall of Fame Classic, 6-hour Nationals, and 10-hour Worlds) 4-6 weeks after they occur, keeping you up-to-the-minute on all the exciting pro tour action.

It's been a lot of fun covering the professional tour during the course of this past year and the staff here at Inside Foos (Christina and I) are looking forward to an even bigger year in 2004.

Thanks for all your support,

Jim Stevens
