Pinnacles & Playoffs

This season's leagues are coming to a close, and coming to a pinnacle of playoff action! There are a number of factors that will determine wild cards and individual categories. Just for the record, great season everybody! I, as an involved spectator, have watched many exciting matches and watched many players excel, some way above their ratings and showing some big potential.

Speaking of potential, Let's look at some players! Ever since the "sandbagger" category was created we have never had a whole team place 1,2, and 3. But this season three Motley Foos teammates, Steve Taylor, Anthony Laube, and Rick Rivlin occupy the top three slots on the list! (What is their secret?!). We also have veteran first-time-league-player Nick Bourdos vying for several individual awards. And who is Rolf Criddle? I remember just two years ago teaching him the "start protocol", and already Rolf is tearing it up! 2nd in League Stud in his division, leading doubles and Forward Shoot Out, and stands a chance in Rollerball. Wow! And Rolfe has brought a new player into the fold as well!

Good job!

I feel that each of us should be an involved spectator. Go to the matches when you can. See the magic! Root for your favorites! Scope out your next teammate! Encourage your non-foosball friends to attend. Pass on your excitement to all new soon-to-be recruits. More players means more fun, more excitement, more rewards.

See you at the matches!
