So there is a turny in GF on thursday the 11th.  Does anyone know any details about it.  I may be in the area on business and want to play?

The tourny's are held at the Rhombus Guys, the bar is downtown Grand Forks, 312 Kittson Avenue, and the table is on the second floor.  It starts around 9, but feel free to show up early to get some games in.  Here's a map:

I am planning on coming down for the tourny on the 20th.  I hope there is a good turnout and am excited about it.  Also I would be up for bringing one of my tables down for the day, if that would help the TD run some other events ( OD, OS, another DYP, Whatever).  So I guess all of you eastcoasters should spread the word around the turf and let me know.

The more tables and events the better.  If one of the Thursday night guys could get the ok from the turf that'd be great.  And if it does work out, make sure you bring a light and something to hang it up with.  Looking forward to Saturday.

Still have not heard either way on the table, it does not sound like there are many people interested einer.  Let me know though, Kane said he was gonna check into it.  Now with the light and hanging it, it sounds like a pain in the ass.  They don t already have light there? 
Title: Re: Fargo Turf Foosball Turny

I don't know what the table situation is, that sounds like Kane's department.  At the last tourney we had had a second table that had some issues.  I would much prefer a different table if possible, but then again I'm not the one who would have to load it and transport it.  As far as lighting, We had a decent fluorescent hanging over the second table, and the light over the primary table is adequate.

Getting a count of how many people are going to show up seems to be a challenge.  We had 20 people last time.  We have a solid core of people that usually ensures about 14 people. Beyond that people show up at random.  We have this flood thing going on again, but I'm hoping it won't really affect the turnout.  I've been anxious for this tournament as soon as the last one ended.

We're always looking to get more players to the tournaments, especially if they have some new looks and moves for us to try to figure out.  We actually had a character in from Dickinson on wednesday who was talking you up your skills.  The majority of us are an easy going group with a strong addiction to the game.  The tournaments are draw partner and the rules are somewhere between "bar" rules and tornado official (probably closer to bar rules but don't quote me on that).

Table or not, we'd appreciate another player.

Hey Joe, make sure they have sloppy joes ready this time, thanks man.

The hooks for a lighting fixture are already in place, I'm sure we can use Cody's light agian.  Sorry for the delay but I have a hard time contacting chelsey.  TJ it will not work for you to bring your table down becasue the turf is in contract with a bar game supplier and they will not go for that.  We can still get a second table from the supplier if the turnout is looking promising.  I will be sending out my mass text to remind players of the turny and ask them to RSVP so we can get a better estimate on the turn out.  The flood is said to crest this weekend at 40 feet, 2 feet blow last year so hopfully that does not affect the turn out.

My contact list is compiled of 28 people right now.

Joe/Brock you should get ahold of the Microsoft Kids you know, Dave, Guy

Joe your in charge of getting Sloppy Joes going

Brock nice job on the weight set                          


Iwill Post the results of the texts

I sent out texts to the people that I thought might not be on the contact list. 
Do you have Red on there? 

I'll try to remember to talk to kalcey about the sloppies on thursday.

That is cool. No worries.  I am just like everyone else I just love to foos.  I am planning on coming right now so I will be there if nothing comes up.  THanks for getting back to me.  3pm on Saturday then??

I should have 2 or 3 others coming along with me this time, or however many you need in order to have that second table, we definitely need it, it'd be great to have a third table even.  And TJ the tourney starts at 2, but we usually don't get going on time.  Just give one of us a call if you're running late, my cell is 218-686-2253. 
Title: Re: Fargo Turf Foosball Turny
Post by: KaneIverson on March 17, 2010, 04:19:52 PM
Well I will tell Kalcey to get another table, right now we have 14 confirmed players and I suspect there will be around 5-6 that havent responded to me and will show up.

TJ is it just you comming or are you bringing others?

Thanks for getting the other table Kane, and remember not to let Cody near any droppable parts.

Post by: tj_foos on March 18, 2010, 06:15:18 PM
As of right now it is just me, but i am trying to get some other people coming.  I will call one of you to confirm on Saturday morning.

IS THERE GONNA BE ANOTHER TABLE FOR SURE?  IF NOT I THINK IT WILL PAINFULLY SLOW??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Title: Re: Fargo Turf Foosball Turny
Post by: KaneIverson on March 18, 2010, 07:37:43 PM
I was informed by the turf that they will be bringing a second table.  If its not there by 10am sat. I will arrange to bring my table in, (Cyclone II no Coin Op) and they can't really complain that its not their suppliers table if the supplier didn't drop it off.

I dont think there will be a problem with the turf getting the table though. 

Foosball night tonight so I will get a follow up.

The third other player is able to come down, so that'll make 4 of us from GF.  They're looking forward to it lots.
