10/9/2008 Topic: Moderators needed! pinalyzer Administrator	What's up, sure I will be a moderalyzer...Let me know where you need me, Pinalyzer
10/20/2008 Topic: Foosbowl IV pinalyzer Administrator	I just think that even though people "donate" in other sports/games to play with the "Big Boys" it would seem the culture in many places is that a person doesn't want to play if they don't have a chance in winning in foosball. When I played in Fargo and Pittsburgh this was not the case and people just wanted to play even if it meant they wouldn't win a match all night...they played because they wanted to play the game. What in some areas does it not have the players that just want to play and a few dollars (after all we are not talking about much money) is not that much. Is it because in some areas players are riducled if they play bad or lose...I remember when Tucson had some foos bullys and a person's manhood was questioned or womanhood. What are other peoples thoughts on this? The Pinalyzer
10/21/2008 Topic: Foosbowl IV pinalyzer Administrator	First of all...Thanks Billy...For another tourney and I was really amazed at how your game is progressing. You are keeping your head and that calm is giving you a chance in the game. I watched your game agasinst Pat and played you and I think you are just a step away from the next level. As far as sportsmanship and the like...I saw with my own [place your own stupid ass, I've seen them all before saying]inalyzer eyes the way Tucson crowds went down to nothing when Ditto would get all worked up when playing or before that Marcie. The only players that would pretty much play were the tough or experienced and not too many new players would last out the bullying. I think that Phoenix has always had strong characters which makes you guys strong players and you have to make a decision on what is more important winning the match or building the base. I have chosen building the base and I think that a lot of Tucson has as well, we play tourneys with our daughters, sons, and wifes, we try hard to win but having to represent ourselves on the table with a family member has trained ourselves to keep a civil attitude. I can't think of a top fooser that hasn't played many tourneys with a family member that is a beginner...that hits the ball into their own hole, gives the ball to the other forward time and again and people see how we respond and we can't just lose it or as in my case my daughter will not talk to me, I sometimes suck and I do complain but I try to bring a smile and helpful attitute to the tourneys, but remember it takes a while for the effect to diminish, the effect of..if I play with these guys they will make me feel like shit. Dan and Jeremy took over after Bob and Ed and all the others that tried and it took them a year or more to build up what we have here in Tucson. If Ditto or Marcie were still playing here we would not have been able to do this regardless of their efforts. Draws also make the event stale, I think that Dan has really provided some interesting ways to promote foosball. I worked for one of the greatest foosball promoters in history..Bryan Bennet out of Denver and he really opened my eyes to what can be done. I thought run the tourney and they will come...he always looked at drawing those that didn't normally come out and new foosers. I love that in Tucson we seem to get a new fooser every week and this helps when the regular foosers decide to have a life. The hi-low and the amatuer and beginner singles are fun events and it takes time. So...Billy and Phoenix I think of a lot of you as extended family and as with anything it takes effort as Billy has shown-represented and as he has said not every tourney will have a high turnout but rookies should feel welcome not just the tough ones like Ben but the ones that just like to play. My thoughts and Thanks once again Billy for all your hard work...keep it up! The Pinalyzer
11/19/2008 Topic: Tucson VS Phoenix 11/22/08 pinalyzer Administrator	IMHO, I have really been impressed by the way Phx players show up on time. I think tucson sucks as far as traffic and they do a great job navigating through the roads to get to Main Street. I agree with Zeke that the time between forward shoot out and the singles could be reduced as it tends to go faster than 2 ball, or any other event for that matter, But looking forward to another fun tourney, thanks Dan, Jeremy and Billy!

11/26/2008 Topic: Happy Thanksgiving pinalyzer Administrator	Thanks Zeke, I will be cleaning house/yard...practicing foos and watching football, should be a fun day. I hope you and yours have a wonderful day. I am thankful that at 47 I can still play foosball at a somewhat competative level, who would have thought when I was 16 that I would still be able to play as well as I have. And of course I am thankful to all my fellow foosers and for my daughters, John

3/2/2009 Topic: Tucson - At Sun City Open pinalyzer Administrator	Congrats to all the Tucson foosers who represented Arizona huge at the Sun City Open this weekend. Special congrats to Jack who played great in winning a new, in the box, Warrior table. Zeke was a machine with Amatuer (Cough) and Expert singles championships, 5th Open doubles, 3rd Expert doubles Dan and Dave 3rd Amatuer doubles Bob J and myself 1st Expert Doubles and I also got 3rd Expert Singles Kathy, Womens singles, Womens DYP, 2nd Expert Doubles, 4th Open Mixed. Chris and Jen Lancaster, 2nd Open Mixed, tough battle with Ryan Moore and Dallas Smith in the finals Chris also got 3rd in Expert Doubles. Great tourney, Albuquerque showed up huge as well, great to see all the players from around the area, Farmington, Soccoro. Major Thanks to Dallas who made this one of the best tourneys ever, ran smooth, okay the power did go out in the middle of the matches, but the whole hotel's power went out so it just gave us all some extra sleep. Power came back on at about 2:47am. And yes I was up watching "Over the top" on a little portable DVD player for some extra motivation. Pinalyzer <em>edited by pinalyzer on 3/2/2009</em>
