Summer League Strategy

The time is here once again. The Summer Leagues is happening and signups are open and waiting. The list of players is hungry for names!

Here is the strategy: do we want the 3-spot: 3 high ranked players to tear through the others, or 3 low ranked players that play the odds with their handicap. Both strategies have lead to team championships.

Or do we want the 2-1 spot: two high-ranked teammates and one low ranker, winning single events and getting the point-spots for the team events, or the two low-ranked teammates with a high-ranker that will be sneaky and successful.

Each of these strategies are sound and pragmatic. When we elect a captain, do they have the strategy to team us up for the best winning options?

And oh my, in all my excitement I needed to be reminded that we can now also play with 4 teammates! 4-player team strategies, anyone?!

Universally the leagues are meant for the intangibles: Having fun, building camaraderie, advancing foosball knowledge, getting practice. The fun is, of course, paramount. Let's go!!

Ash vs. Spredeman Money Game!
the situasian:   I was there when high level players were getting beat one after the other by Tony Spredeman's left hand. Including Mighty Mo about 5 times... Then Ash "Twinkle Toes" Mizaradehahalsjfhwalsj stepped up and showed Tony a thing or two about foosball.
MightyMo:   Like I said in the Video, we are never gonna hear end of this . . .
Afshin:   I was practicing on my own Rick Marmestein Came over and told me Tony beat most of Arizona state great players left Handed when I heard that I went to Tony's Table got in line next and told myself I will protect Arizona's Foosball Name if I beat tony.
billyboy:   Amazing! Ash, I wonder if you could have won using only one arm as well?
Afshin:   Tony has amazing game and he told me no one ever beat him Left Handed game he try to rematch I told him I play him but he need to use both hand we play like 10 other Friendly games ater that match.Its kinda hard to win left handed cause he is lefty.
JRhode:   Wait...what? Tony was only using his left hand? Not sure I would be caught dead playing with such a handicap! Jeesh! That guy is so next level, he puts all of us to shame !
Afshin:   yes Jesse his left handed game is so good that he beat pro master players 5-0 maybe if they lucky 5-1 .My five man shots are pretty much imposible to block for anyone in the world thats why I got that victory for my AZ Foosers.
tyler:   Ash your only shot is a 5 bar!
Afshin:   Tyler I practice Shots that guaranty to score ,I am a Foosball Hustler and I have to have shots that when I need victory I get it and shots must be one of the kinds that no one can't Block it.
