Win a Nintendo Switch - May 31

[5barwarrior]

On Friday May 31 OFA will be holding a doubles foosball tournament where first prize will be a Nintendo Switch. This will be the 8th one of these tournaments (Wiis and PS3s). Here are the details:

When: Friday May 31. 8:00pm Registration, 8:30 Start
What: Doubles Foosball Tournament, double elimination format
Where: Tail Gators, 1642 Merivale Road, Ottawa, Ontario, K2G 4A1
Who: Beginner players only!! No pros allowed. (see below)
How Much: $10/Person. Free for Women.
Prizes:
* 1st - Nintendo Switch
* 2nd - 70% of any surplus entry fees
* 3rd - 30% of any surplus entry fees
* 50% off league fees for all participants who want to join the league!

So this is how it works. Show up at Tail Gators on Friday night at 8:00 and find the foosball tables. Register you and your partner and pay your entrance fee.

At 8:30 we will start the tournament. We use a double elimination format which means you need to lose 2 matches before you are eliminated. Each match is a best two out of three with games going to 5 goals. It costs $1/game (9 balls). If you go all the way to the end you'll probably need 5 loonies. The winning team will get the Nintendo Switch. The second place team will get 70% of any extra entrance fees above the cost of the Switch, 3rd place gets 30%. All entrants get 50% off coupon for any OFA league.

Who can play? We are limiting this to new/beginner players. No pros are allowed. All of the pros know who they are (regular league players) so if you have to ask, your not a pro.

If you have any questions or comments give me a call/text/email.

I have a co-worker coming. Is there a team with just 1 player?

[5barwarrior]

Hey Dee.

We will take care of your coworker. I don’t have any other singles at the moment. Worst case is we will let someone play twice and get them a partner.

I might have a single, whats it looking like for total teams?

[5barwarrior]

These things are hard to gauge. I didn’t set up pre-registration so I don’t have any hard numbers. From the interest I’ve seen so far it looks pretty good.

I’ll try and be there for 7:30.

[5barwarrior]

Here is the plan for tonight. I’ll get there around 7:30 to set up.
1) check the tables
2) get the loonie bin ready
3) put up some posters and the big chart
Registration starts at 8:00 and will close at 8:30.
I’ll run the matches on my laptop kicker tool and transfer to the big chart.

I have the loonies for you. Not many in the tables. See you tonight.

Got to say Friday night foos and the Switch Tourney was a blast. Chris is the best promoter in Canada by far and it appeared that the newbies really enjoyed themselves. I am sure we will get a few out of this effort. Congrats to Chris and his junior sidekick JP on a well run tourney . Ottawa foosers are the best of people and thanks to all of you for attending and helping the newbies.

Thanks to everyone who helped out, JP, Mary, Ivan and Vern.
Congratulations to Doug and Jackson on winning the switch.
