5/26/2017 Topic: El Jimador Tequila $5,000 FOOSBALL Promotion! BillyBoy Administrator	El Jimador Tequila is sponsoring a $5,000 FOOSBALL tournament in Arizona! The event will be a combination "sweepstakes" and foosball competition, where players must enter their names in a national drawing for a chance to compete in the regional events. The Arizona competition will take place on 5 separate dates this summer, consisting of four qualifier rounds of 32 teams, and a grand finale of 16 teams. The structure will be a single-elimination, game-to-10, with a 10 minute time limit. There are specific rules in place for this promotion, but they generally follow standard foosball rules with a few minor changes. Here are a few important notes... $5,000 awarded for 1st place. Promotional tables and swag awarded to runner ups. Must be an Arizona resident to enter and compete. Players sign up at the El Jimador website. Each player may submit an entry once a day until the day of the drawing. Drawing for participants for all four qualifier dates will be held on June 20 via Facebook Live. Selected players may team up with a player of his/her choice. Each qualifier will take place at a local establishment featuring 2 or more Tornado foosball tables. Referees will be on hand to regulate rules and time limits. ...And some official links: SIGN-UP TO PLAY: http://futbolito.eljimador.com/ FACEBOOK: http://fb.me/91Bf82rkFcU56o INSTAGRAM: < URL coming up... > RULES & GUIDELINES: http://go.eljimador.com/futbolito-phoenix/rules Let me know if you have any questions!

6/12/2017 Topic: El Jimador Tequila $5,000 FOOSBALL Promotion! BillyBoy Administrator	I don't know who's in charge of that. I'd contact El Jimador to find out. Let me know if you can't get anywhere, and I'll talk to the Phoenix rep.
6/14/2017 Topic: El Jimador Tequila $5,000 FOOSBALL Promotion! BillyBoy Administrator	UPDATE: Here are the official dates & venues for the 4 qualifier events and the final: QUALIFIER 1: July 22 @ Duke's in Scottsdale QUALIFIER 2: July 29 @ Stinger's in Peoria QUALIFIER 3: August 5 @ Loft Again in N. Phoenix QUALIFIER 4: August 12 @ Thirsty Lion in Tempe FINAL: August 19 @ The Park in Phoenix ...Actually, the dates are official, and the venues are probably correct (there is a possibility of a different ordering). The final will be held at the Park in downtown Phoenix, where they plan on displaying the matches on a 15 foot television screen. Also, I've been informed that of all eight regions where this event is being hosted, Arizona is crushing the others in signup entries. Way to go, AZ players! Let's hit this one over the fence and see what happens next! Bill Nolan AZ Foosball

6/19/2017 Topic: El Jimador Tequila $5,000 FOOSBALL Promotion! BillyBoy Administrator	UPDATE: Here is the plan for the drawing and assignment of teams: 128 teams are needed. 260 Arizona residents have signed up. No player can be on more than 1 team. The promoter will draw all 260 names in order. They will then call the first 128 to inform them they have been drawn. The winners will have 1 day to respond with the name of their teammate. They will have the option of forfeiting their spot if they would like to team up with someone who ALSO won an entry. (It is up to the players to check with their partners/friends to see if they have both won entries.) If a player forfeits a spot, the spot will be given to the next players available in the drawing order (#129, @130, etc.). Also, players will be asked to prioritize their date preferences for the qualifier they play in so they can try to accommodate everyone as best as they can. Stayed tuned for exact date of the team assignments, and more info Bill Nolan AZ Foosball edited by BillyBoy on 6/19/2017

Do players have the option to not play with someone if they choose them or will this follow the established PYP format. I could see this becoming a mess without some further clarification on how partners are chosen. edited by chambie on 6/19/2017 Players can choose to play or not play with anyone they wish (i.e., players can accept or decline an invitation). Basically, if you win an entry, you can play with anyone you want that doesn't also have an entry, unless one of you forfeits your spot. I will suggest to the promoter, however, that if two players that win entries elect to forfeit a spot and play together, to make sure that they each approve the move. EDIT: A little more clarification: Players don't simply "pick" who they want to play with; the partner must approve. The reason for the 1 day deadline is so that all players who are drawn will be notified on that day. It is up to the players to see who is available (they are not providing a full list for inspection). So, there is an element of "first reply" to it, but only in the sense of whomever gets their deal together first gets signed up first. But everyone has the (essentially) the same amount of time. The person putting this together is going to call players and set things up personally and manually. He/she will do his/her best to make it work. Some things are being resolved as they go; an exact algorithm is not available at our request. edited by BillyBoy on 6/20/2017
