With the major professional tour season and the 2004 Hall of Fame Classic just weeks away, the foosball world turns it's collective attention to the foosball-crazy states of Kentucky and California for two traditional early season regional events. On the weekend of January 30th through February 1st, Mary Moore and her Independent Foosball Promotions will present the annual Superbowl of Foosball. This $18,000 event, which is being held at the Holiday Inn North in Lexington, Kentucky, always features excellent competition and provides tour players the opportunity to prepare their games for the new USTSA season. At last year's Superbowl event Terry Moore won both Open Doubles (with Todd Loffredo) and Open Singles, defeating soon-to-be World Singles champ Tony Spredeman in the final. I like Spredeman and the New England Patriots to win this year...

One week later, Phil Schlaefer and Table Soccer Limited will offer the 5th Annual VIFA California State Championships, a star-studded regional stop whose list of yearly competitors reads like a who's who with names like Zamora, Park, Sipiora, Cartwright, Perrie, Marr and Rosa all expected to compete in the Open events.This early season west coast championship, which is held in the Bay Area city of Fremont, features Open and No-Pro events, along with several league-related competitions, as Golden State foosers prepare for the $40,000 VIFA International League Championships in Las Vegas in about five weeks. As always, the big-money League event will be held in conjunction with the season-opening $65,000 Hall of Fame Classic, March 3rd -7th at the Riviera Hotel. You can contact Table Soccer Limited at 408-327-9500 or see our Upcoming Events section below for more information on this exciting annual state championship,

This year's upcoming Vegas event will be the 10th annual Hall of Fame Classic and will once again feature the yearly HoF induction ceremony, as we continue to pay homage to the sport's elite former players and contributors. The Hall of Fame Classic replaced the "Kickoff Classic" back in 1995 in Houston, Texas, and the Foosball Hall of Fame was revived in 1996 in Long Beach, California, where legendary 1970's fooser Doug Furry became the first person to be so-honored since the original class of 1986. Since then, the Hall of Fame commitee has honored ten other new members, including 2003 inductees Link Pendley and Bob Furr, in ceremonies held each year at the pro tour's season-opener. The balloting for the 2004 inductee has been completed and the newest Hall of Famer will be introduced on Saturday night March 6th at the Vegas classic. And no, I'm not telling.

Remember, to order your money-saving Hall of Fame Classic Package Deal you must pre-register by February 20, 2004. Go to http://www.vifa.com for more information or to download your official pre-registration forms.

In other major news of note, Minnesota player, promoter, and foosball entrepreneur Brad Anderson will introduce his all-new Table Sports Radio at this year's Vegas opener. For the first time ever, foosball fans who don't attend will be able to listen in on all the ongoing excitement of a major tour event. This daily radio show will originate from the Hall of Fame Classic ballroom and will be offered as "On Demand" programming each evening, so you'll be able to listen whenever you like. Each TSR "broadcast" will feature interviews, updates, Inside Foos audio highlights, and other special features, including the 2004 Hall of Fame ceremony. You will be able to tune in beginning the night of Thursday, March 4th, with daily programming continuing right through to the end of the tournament on Sunday evening. This is going to be tremendous for the foosball fan, and a lot of fun for those of us involved! For more information on this very exciting and entertaining new development, go to http://natsa.org/tsr.

This month we offer two new video specials: You can order the now-legendary 2001 World Championships on DVD for only $50 for the full 10 hours. This five DVD set features two of the most talked-about finals of recent years and is available for the first time on DVD. Also, you'll pay only $5 for shipping if you pre-order the 2004 Full Season Package. See the Special Offers section below for ordering instructions.

Thanks again for your support,
