National Subbuteo ( Table Soccer)Tournament

But can Jimbo beat Mass now???? Or me ;)

We had a guy go to England on business. He came back after playing over there and just began to dominate us.

Jimbo's touch already is sublime in my book. His shooting was always his bane but playing more quickly will open up more lanes for him and thus more 'in-game' shooting opportunities.

He does have great touch, and you are right about the speed.

Shooting...bane is a great word.

I nearly equalized deflecting one off his figure. I think before England-Belgium, I get that goal and get the point.

Good site. I like the shot of the two geezers playing in front of the packed main stand at Wolves... biggest crowd they'll ever see...

What an awesome game. Beats the hell out of computer soccer. I defy anyone to play once and not be hooked.

ROFL. :D

Tried it, pieces broke, binned it.

Do yourself a favour, pack up the Subbuteo set, chuck it in the trash, and buy yourself a copy of PES2 for a real virtual football experiece.

Right, like premierleague says, buy it and throw it in the trash. It makes no sense to try something different... :rolleyes:

You're supposed to flick the players not step on them....
If we could get copies of PES2 in the States we would.

I know, sorry to sound disrespectful if you really like it.

I was just reacting to Marvin saying it was better than a video game.

I played it with my brother once ages ago but the pieces just kept breaking, and we didn't enjoy playing it much.

We are now Pro Evolution fanatics after playing football video games against each other for over 10 years now.

I live in the Boston area. I'd love to get back into playing again.

My favorite part of the game, though, is painting unique kits on the players. I never liked the factory paint jobs on thise things, so I design my own kits and paint those on. I even paint numbers on the players.

Also, the national rankings for the 2002-03 season are current. PM me if you want to view a copy.

Won't be able to make it.

The national rankings don't take into account league play around the country do they?

Nope, they sure don't. However, anyone can host an ASA tournament and get some rankings. Since your league meets so regularly and has a great turnout you all should organize a tournament one weekend. All you would have to do is announce it to the ASA in case anyone else can make it. Then, the results of your tournament would count towards the national rankings.

So, it's:
1) pick a tournament date
2) announce that date to the ASA
3) play the tournament
4) announce the results
5) everyone gets ranking points based on their finish.

And it only takes two people to play a tournament...

[Giffetinho]

The tournament on Saturday now will begin at 5:30pm at the squash courts at Episcopal High School in Alexandria, Virginia.
