Foosball tournaments on the horizon before the Tornado World Championships

    

    Texas Legend Ben Kennon does a fantastic job maintaining  the foosball schedule at http://beta.foosball.com/schedule/2013. There are plenty of tournaments across the nation leading up the World Championships including the $6,500 Battle Ground Open, the $15,000 Louisiana State championships, and the $25,000 Warrior Super Doubles at Runaway Bay golf course. Check out the schedule for dates, flyers, and contact information.

     The $65,000 Tornado World Championships is smaller than last year but remains the biggest domestic tournament and most prized title opportunity of the year. Foosers across the world are gearing up for the yearly Labor Day weekend trip to the Dallas area. The Hilton D/FW Lakes will again be the location for this Independent Foosball and Tornado tournament. This location is just a short distance from the Tornado factory and right next door to the D/FW airport. Flying is made easy with the close hotel proximity and free airport shuttle. 10 minutes ride with no Taxi-fares is a added savings.  Driving is also no problem with plenty of free parking, easy highway access, and nearby food options. There will be plenty of brand new Tornado tables on hand to handle the weeks matches and will go on sale to take home after the tournament (Check flyer for table information).

   Jim Stevens, Brad Anderson, Ezekiel "Ice Man" Moore and the rest of the www.insidefoos.com staff will be providing professional coverage for the event. So even if you cannot make the trip this year you can relive all the great matches of the weekend on DVD. This still does not compete with the in person experience. Airfares have been reasonable from many major cities so do not hesitate if your on the fence. Make your reservations before the room block sells out and the airfare prices rise. FOOS ON!!
