IMPORTANT NOTE TO PHOENIX FOOSERS:

Stingers Sports Bar has been incredible in their support of Arizona Foosball - donating $4 per player to all events, $8 per player to a monthly "Little Sting" event and $500 to the Big Sting every several months, as well as providing free play before tournaments, free food all day at league championships, special seating, and installing cool yellow police tape during tournaments to give us extra room.

However, for some reason, it seems that foosers have lately decided to return this graciousness by playing only the events with bonus money and not showing up to the other weekly events. Plus, several players of late (three in total in past six weeks) have disrespected players and/or partners, the establishment, and tournament directors to the point of having to be suspended from all tournaments for 60 days.

Nonetheless, Stinger's still admirably extends their generous support of our game and players.

......However......

I would like it to be known that if the described pattern(s) don't change immediately, I will personally and proactively cancel the special events, extra prize money, and free play. I feel that relationships with sponsors should be mutually beneficial; I won't take their money unless I know we're giving them a return on their investment and the respect they deserve.

So it's up to all of us. Good sponsorship opportunities are hard to come by, and can lead to bigger possibilities down the road - let us all take advantage of it while it's offered and make the best of this opportunity!

=================================================================
POLICY UPDATE
=================================================================
Any player who engages in one of the following will be forfeited without refund, and suspended a minimum of 30 days from future tournaments.

* Speaking abusively to another player or a partner, and ESPECIALLY a new player.
* Disrespecting a player, tournament director, the establishment or its employees in any way.
* Slowing down a tournament by repeatedly not being available to play when called (which simultaneously disrespects everyone in the tournament).

And if you want to complain, stay home. If you have good, positive ideas, let's hear them! But deliver them with respect, and that touch of forethought that you learned in college. I insist. wink
=================================================================

And a heartfelt, big, big thanks to those of you who have been grateful, reliable, and friendly to the new guys. smile
