August 2: BIG STING - $500 Added to DYP!
BillyBoyAdministrator
|
Address: 10040 N. 43rd Ave., Glendale, AZ
This tournament will be a SINGLE EVENT, Draw-Your-Partner Doubles, using regular Stinger's rules and entry fees, with 100% payback plus $500 added by Stinger's Sports Bar and AZ Foosball. Our objective with this event is to get the biggest turnout we can on a single Saturday at Stinger's while also running it as efficiently as possible, and to see if we can keep it economically viable to the sponsor to consider repeating at a regular interval.
"BIG STING" HIGHLIGHTS:
* 3:00 official start time (this is MANDATORY; please show up early)
* Tables will be opened at noon for FREE PLAY until event begins. ($5 table fee for event.)
* Winners paid to 5th place, regardless of turnout.
* Regular Stinger's entry fees ($12 pros, $8 Am/Ex, $5 Beg)
* Standard Stinger's tournament rules (this includes "point card(s)" granted to players with under 2.0 league rating)
* Some or all of loser's side of bracket may be played in abbreviated format depending upon turnout and time considerations (game-to-10 or "7-11" formats likely)
* Match times will be strictly enforced (all players must be at table and ready to play within 5 minutes of match being called or forfeits will be levied)
* 3-4 tables (T-3000 specs) on site.
IMPORTANT NOTES TO PLAYERS:
We ask that all players be aware of the main purpose of this event (specified in opening paragraph) and do their best to help in its success. Please bear in mind that while there may certainly be ways to play through any particular event as rapidly as possible, with the Big Sting we are attempting to strike a happy balance between an event that is fun and popular with a generous payout, and one that also rewards the sponsor with a healthy herd of customers for the evening! There will be a large tournament chart on the wall so that all players can easily see their place in the tournament. Please try to keep the following points in mind:
* You should NOT ask "if your team can play next". Matches will be called in the order that best facilitates the event as a whole - not any one particular team.
* You MAY ask "can you give us an estimate of when our next match will be called?"
* If you are informed that your team is going to be playing on one of the next open tables, please try to locate your partner and opponents and get them ready to play.
Feel free to ask any questions in this thread, or give us a call!
Looking forward to a great time, and hope to see everyone there!

IMPORTANT NOTE TO PHOENIX FOOSERS
BillyBoyAdministrator

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