Overtime Rule:
To decide what game to play in overtime, one team picks the game type and the other picks the players - in that order! Home team chooses which option to take. (...from section 1.4)

Make sure if you choose a 1-on-1 game that you are confident that your team can win any player matchup your opponent chooses!
Score sheet options in 2026!

Home teams will have the choice of score sheet to use when match formats offer multiple score sheet options (currently only in 3 vs 4 matches). Options are displayed in the "available score sheets" drop-down list on the match page in the home team's lineup section.

Aren't Leagues Great!

The Leagues are only a few weeks old but there are some impressive statistics already. I have noticed a number of them that, even at a season start are important. Take a look:
League Stud
Central
1 Aldo Garcia (Foosin' for a Bruisin')
2 Steve Jarzyna (The Moody Foos)
Eastern
1 Noel Rooney (Ball Smackers)
2 Ronnie Garrett (Fast Hands, Bad Decisions)
  Rolfe Criddle (Kung Foos)
Western
1 Steve Taylor (Foos on First)
2 Scott Turnidge (The Knuckleheads)
  Jim Wallis (Foos on First)
Rollerball
Central
1 Steve Jarzyna (The Moody Foos)
2 Tori Minnig (Foosin' for a Bruisin')
Eastern
1 Noel Rooney (Ball Smackers)
2 Holly Neff (Fast Hands, Bad Decisions)
Western
1 Bill Walling (The Knuckleheads)
2 Scott Turnidge (The Knuckleheads)
Speaking of League Stud: in 3rd place in the Western: Tori Minnig (Foosin' for a Bruisin').  She is only 3.5 games out of 1st.  As she continues to improve on a drastic scale will we all be considering a renaming of this gender specific category this season?

And who is this Aldo Garcia?  Only playing a few months in a sport that takes years to appreciate and master, he ranks 1st (5-0) in forward shootout, 1st in League Stud (in his conference), and 2nd in the Sandbagger Category.  I feel that his practice and competition at the Minnig Ranch, home to the infamous OG foosers Jeff Minnig and Holly Neff, has helped in his development.

I have noticed personally how much fun the players are having and how much excitement these games are generating.  Aren't leagues great?!

Nice read Casey.
Arizona Foosball League
Experience the best.

Each season, scores of players sign up for a round of competition and fun like no other in the history of foosball!  There are both team and player awards for many variants of the game ranging from standard doubles & singles to goalie war, forward shootout, and even rollerball.   Every week, teams are faced with a new challenge in their quest to win their division, make the playoffs and ultimately claim the league championship in the classic FOOS BOWL title match.

So if you have become bored of beating all the punks in your neighborhood and you need a new challenge AND want to make a bunch of new friends, what are you waiting for?  Everyone who is anyone is playing the Arizona Foosball League - so grab your gloves and we'll see you at the table!
Sign ups are still open for 2026 League!
trophy
The 2026 Arizona Foosball League started on June 9, but sign-ups are still open! The league is open to all players, regardless of experience level (must be 21 or older). The season runs 16 weeks, and the cost is $50 for the season (10% off for early registration). For more details on how the league works, check out the FAQ.


Q: THE LEAGUE IS IN PROGRESS! CAN I STILL JOIN?

A:  Yes, indeed!  Although the league is in full swing, there are often teams looking to shore up their rosters with teammates and reserve players, and substitute players (you can jump in the ring to help out a team when a player cannot make it to the match) are always in high demand as well.  Just add your name to the list below by clicking the JOIN! link on the top menu, and we'll see you on the tables!
