 2007 BONZINI WORLDS & TEXAS STATE DVD SETS NOW SHIPPING

 
DVD sets from the recent Bonzini World Championship Series  event in Eaubonne, France, and Texas State Championships, held May 24-28 in Irving, are now available and ready for shipment at insidefoos.com.

 
The Inside Foos crew (Iceman and myself, along with player/official/commentator Tom Yore) had a tremendous time in Eaubonne, France (a suburb of Paris) this past May 16-20, watching the world's best "French-style" players in action at the annual  Bonzini World Championships. The Fédération Française de Football de Table and the  International Table Soccer Federation put on a tremendous event that gets high marks from me in every area. Great set up, very nice venue, smoothly run event, beautiful finals area - just a solid event all the way around. The Bonzini WCS event also featured yet another amazing performance from the sport's most decorated performer.

 
France, long considered the top Bonzini-playing nation in the world, defeated Belgium in the final match of the National Team Competition in Eaubonne to win that event as expected, but it was Belgian Frederic Collignon who once again proved just how dominant he is on the Bonzini table. Amazingly, Frederico lost only two games in the six events that he played in, and won five major titles, while also going undefeated in leading his country to a second place result in the team event. No one even played him close in any event, with most of his wins coming by 5-0, 5-1, or at worst, 5-2 scores. It was very obvious to those of us covering the 2007 event that the already-legendary Collignon was significantly better than any other player in the world on the Bonzini table. And that's an understatement.

 
There are however, many other great Bonzini players to be seen on the 4 disc DVD set. French stars Francois Cheuret, Ibrahim Coulibaly, Olivier Covos, Anais Noel and Cedric Hassan are also featured, along with Germany's Jamal Allalou, Tim Ludwig, and Mehmet Kosar, and Italian greats Arthuro Carletta and Samantha Di Paolo. You can also see Britain's greatest player, Robert Atha, in action in the Open Singles event against another top French player Franck Mahy, in one of the weekend's most competitive matches. 
You can order this very entertaining 8 hour DVD set by going to insidefoos.com. You can see complete disc listings here

 
Speaking of entertaining, Hall of Famer Steve Murray's annual Texas State Championships, held at the Holiday Inn Select DFW North for the first time this past May 24-28, also featured great performances from players like Billy Pappas and Tony Spredeman in Singles, and Rob Mares/Tracy McMillin, Terry Rue/Matt Steward, and Pappas/Spredeman in the Open Doubles event. Mares and McMillin, who were pairing-up for the very first time, played as if they had been playing together for years in winning the doubles title, as they defeated a feisty Rue and Steward in the final match to take home the first place trophies (see report below).

 
Texas State DVD sets are available now for $40 at  insidefoos.com and will begin shipping this week.

LEAD ARTICLE: FOUR MAJOR TOUR EVENTS HIGHLIGHT EARLY 2007 TORNADO SEASON  

 
The first half of the 2007 Tornado Pro Tour season has been one of the most active tournament periods of recent years, with four major events having already taken place during the early part of the year. Players from across North America and around the world have journeyed to Lexington, Las Vegas, Atlanta, and Dallas to compete at these major championships for more than $160,000 in total prize money, as the USTSA and Mary Moore's Independent Foosball Promotions have worked together to once again create a true "traveling tour". With five other early season regional events offering at least $10,000 in prizes,  the early part of 2007 has been the busiest tournament year since the USTSA downsized the tour from five to three major championships after the 1998 season. 

 
"This is like the good old days", says one pro tour veteran. "It seems like it's been one tournament after another this year! I think it's awesome!"

 
The revitalized 2007 tour has also seen the sudden emergence of a new crop of great young players, as names like Ryan Moore, Kane Gabriel, and Blake Robertson have earned high marks in the elite open events, while dominating many of the middle divisions. Moore, who is the 17-year-old son of IFP leader Mary, has skyrocketed up the charts using an aggressive, hard-hitting style that has resulted in five top-ten open event finishes. The Canadian Gabriel has displayed a consistent, high quality game that figures to keep him near the winner's circle for many years to come, while Robertson, the talented 16-year-old from Mississippi, has earned four Expert/Semi Pro titles during 2007, and also finished a remarkable third in Open Doubles at the US Open with partner Bill Bell.

 
Talented performers like Terry Rue, Matt Steward, Robert Atha, and Serge Aragones have also been upwardly mobile during 2007, with each of these solid all around players notching career best performances during the first six months of the US table soccer season. Rue's improved all-around play helped earned him the US Open Singles title, while he and partner Steward have also appeared in the last two major Open Doubles finals. Great Britain's Robert Atha broke through with Mixed Doubles victories at both the Lexington Super Bowl of Foosball and US Open in Atlanta with steady partner Jan Ellis, while also finishing second at the Hall of Fame Classic with Jamie Tayrien. No one who was there will forget Aragones' heart-stopping Sunday afternoon run through the loser's bracket at the Vegas event in March, as he defeated some of the game's biggest names in thrilling fashion before succumbing to the great Frederic Collignon in the Open Singles final.

 
The 2007 national tour also featured a tremendous Open Doubles turnaround from two of the sport's true legends at the Kentucky season-opener, and one of the most riveting and entertaining matches of the past decade at the return of the US Open this past April in Georgia. Billy Pappas and Trevor Park have already earned two major titles this year (and a trip to the ITSF Worlds in Italy this October), as they continue to establish themselves as one of the world's top teams. 

 
As expected, Tour superstars Cindy Head and Moya Tielens have each earned victories during the year's first half, but it has been Ohio's Dusty Bambenek who has led the way with three major open titles in 2007, while earning two other second place results. 2006 world singles champion Stayce Fowler has played only two 2007 events but both brought her positive results. Stayce teamed with Colorado's Shelly Langley to win doubles honors in Las Vegas, and then qualified to compete for Team USA at the ITSF Table Soccer World Championships in Italy by finishing as the highest American at the Atlanta US Open. 

 
------------------------

 
The Tornado major tour season got underway in late January as Mary Moore presented her annual Super Bowl of Foosball in Kentucky, a $35,000 event that annually draws 300 or more players from the USA, Canada, and Europe. The amazing Billy Pappas, who entered the year ranked number one on the Tornado tour (while being rated second internationally), continued to play extraordinary foosball, winning the Open Singles title in Lexington, while also placing second in doubles with Tony Spredeman. Incredibly, Pappas, a "walking" snake-shooter,  won the Super Bowl singles title using exclusively a pull shot, demonstrating once again why this 22-year-old is considered one of the two greatest all-around players in the world.  

 
Billy and Tony, who won last year's title, were dominant in the Open Doubles winner's bracket at this year's event, and faced the dynamic duo of Terry Moore and Todd Loffredo in the final. With the title on the line, Terry and Todd played nearly perfect foosball, defeating the defending Super Bowl champions in an extraordinary six game sweep to earn the first major doubles title of 2007. Tracy McMillin and Terry Rue finished third, with the red-hot Kane Gabriel and Dusty Bambenek placing a somewhat surprising fourth.

 
Robert Atha had a career best three top-5 finishes in Kentucky, including a mixed doubles win with North Carolina's Ellis, and a second place result to Pappas in Open Singles. Rob also placed fifth in doubles with another of the sport's great young players, Bryan Jones, while also earning the Pro Doubles crown. Atha, who is one of the world's top multi-table players, has really found his groove on the Tornado table, and has swiftly become one of the elite players on the US tour.

 
In the Super Bowl women's events, 2006 ITSF multi-table world champions Cindy Head and Dawn Duquette continued their great play, defeating defending champions Dusty Bambenek and Maggie Strong in the doubles final, to win their third major title in the last ten months. However, Bambenek gained a measure of revenge by besting Duquette in the Women's Singles final.

 
---------------------------

 
The next stop on the 2007 tour was Las Vegas, home to the two biggest tour events on the annual USTSA schedule. The $50,000 Hall of Fame Classic, which was held this past March 28-April 1 at the Riviera Hotel, not only gave us the usual great performances from the world's number one player, Frederic Collignon, but also featured a thrilling run through the singles event from San Jose, California's Serge Aragones. 

 
"Sergie" lost early Sunday morning in Vegas to Billy Pappas in an Open Singles semifinal, and then fought his way all the way back to the championship final with wins over Tracy McMillin, Terry Rue, and a stunned Pappas, to earn a slot in the finals against the great Collignon. Unfortunately for Aragones his thrillride through the loser's bracket would come to an abrupt end, as Collignon defeated him in the final match to win the Open Singles title for the fourth straight year in Las Vegas. 

 
Frederico also earned Mixed Doubles honors at The Classic, teaming with Joy Steward to come back and defeat Robert Atha and Jamie Tayrien in the deciding match to claim the 2007 title, giving him two wins for the weekend, and a remarkable 29 for his Tornado career. However, Collignon would not earn his 30th Tornado win on this sunny weekend in March, as 2005 National Champions Billy Pappas and Trevor Park roared back from the loser's side to "double-dip" Frederico and partner Todd Loffredo in an amazing Open Doubles final performance. Billy and Trevor seemed to confuse the 8-time world champs with unusual position switches and unpredictable strategies, en route to a riveting final game win. 

 
This exciting major championship in the Nevada desert also saw Hall of Famer Cindy Head narrowly defeat Stephanie Dvorak in the Women's Singles final, in a match that would go right down to the wire before the always-aggressive Ms. Head could finish of the feisty Dvorak. Dusty Bambenek continued her solid 2007 season by finishing second with Lisa Pride to champions Fowler and Langley in the Women's Doubles final.

 
This annual event also provided us with one of the more unusual and surprising statistics of this or any year: Remarkably, Collignon and Loffredo, who are universally considered the sport's greatest-ever team, have lost in the Open Doubles final at the last four Las Vegas events, dating back to the 2005 major season-opener. They lost to Terry Moore and Robert Mares in the '05 final, Pappas and Tony Spredeman at last year's March event, and then Dave Gummeson and Tracy McMillin at last season's Tornado Worlds, which were held for the first time at the Riviera Hotel last September. Those are also the only four finals losses that this great time has ever suffered during the course of their ten year partnership.

 
All-time great Tom Spear Became the 29th member of the prestigious USTSA Hall of Fame in a ceremony held in the tournament ballroom in Las Vegas at this year's event. Spear was one of the sport's greatest players in a career that spanned more than two decades and included wins on multiple tables in very different eras. Tom's singles victory at the 1994 World Championships in Dallas is still considered one of the best in the sport's history. "At one time Tom Spear was the best player on the planet", said fellow Hall of Famer Mike Bowers, who accepted the honor for the absent Spear.

 
-----------------------------

 
Three weeks later the tour made its way down south to Atlanta, Georgia for the return of one of the sport's great events, the $35,000 United States Open. This competition, which had not been a part of the major tour schedule since 1998, featured a career-best performance from cajun country's Terry Rue, and a match that would instantly be considered a pro tour classic.

 
Rue, from Crowley, Louisiana, used an exciting, aggressive, and vocal style to defeat Tom Yore in the Open Singles final, and displayed an improved passing game and highly effective 3-rod in winning the event without losing a match. Terry and partner Matt Steward also won the winner's bracket in doubles and faced Billy Pappas and Trevor Park, who were looking for their second straight 2007 win, in a final that will be talked about for years to come.

 
With almost every game being decided by a 5-4 score and both final sets going down to the final ball, the Open Doubles final in Atlanta was a breathtaking thrillride that had spectators completely involved with every turn of events. After playing for more than ninety minutes, Trevor Park gained control of the ball in his goal area tied at 4-4 in the fifth game of the second set. Park then calmly passed the ball to partner Pappas's 3-rod, and Billy powered home the final point to earn his team their second major title of the 2007 season. 

 
Teenager Blake Robertson of Mississippi and tour veteran Bill Bell fought their way back to finish third in Atlanta, with Robertson demonstrating why many in the sport feel that he is destined to become a tour star in the not too distant future.

 
Robert Atha and Jan Ellis won their second title of the season in Georgia, defeating Matt and Joy Steward in the Mixed Doubles final. A very excited Dusty Bambenek and Gena Murray overcame the efforts of Cindy Head and Dawn Duquette to win the Women's Doubles title in a tense, hard-fought championship final. With the win, Dusty and Gena earned the right to represent the United States at the Italy World Championships later this year. Stayce Fowler will also be headed to Europe after her second place finish to Canada's Moya Tielens in singles.

 
--------------------------------

 
The final major event of the first half of 2007 took place in Irving, Texas as Hall of Famer Steve Murray hosted his annual Texas State Championships. This $25,000 tournament, which always features some of the year's best action, continued that trend with some of the top players on the Tornado tour putting on quite a show at this year's event. 

 
Billy Pappas and Tony Spredeman, who would finish third in doubles, gave spectators a brilliant Open Singles final, with both players performing at the tops of their games. Coming from the loser's side, Spredeman won the first set of the final in four entertaning, high energy games, but saw Pappas respond with an outstanding second set effort to win his fourth major title of the young 2007 season. Billy has now won one major title at each of the season's four major events, two in doubles and two in singles.

 
In the Open Doubles event, Robert Mares teamed with 2006 Tornado world doubles titlist Tracy McMillin to win the Texas State title in a brilliant performance that saw them defeat US Open finalists Terry Rue and Matt Steward in the championship final. Despite their first-time pairing, Rob and Tracy looked extremely comfortable as a team, with the energetic Mares playing his usual aggressive, winning style and McMillin providing offense and outstanding defense from the goalie position.

 
Oklahomans Tommy Adkisson and Melannee Tosh (who was returning to the pro tour for the first time in seven years) won the Mixed Doubles title, with Dusty Bambenek adding another win to her 2007 resume in Women's Singles, defeating a game Gena Murray. The Women's Doubles title went to Tiffany Moore and Deb Plipsen, who earned their first tour championship as a team.

 
 --------------------------------

 
After the most active six months in recent history the Tornado tour continues this summer, with regional stops in Colorado for the $20,000 State Championships July 5-8, and Lexington for the $35,000 Kentucky State Championships this August 1-5. There are also regional events in Louisiana (August 24-26), Virginia (August 31-September 2), and Missouri (September 7-9), all leading up to the biggest event in American table soccer, the $100,000 Tornado World Championships this September 26-30. 

 
With big money added to the Amateur and Semi Pro events, and with an exciting new National Team event, the Tornado Worlds is shaping up as one of the most exciting of recent years. We'll see you there.  Go to vifa.com for information on this $100,000 event




◆ 2007 GARLANDO WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS: American Stars Loffredo, Moore, and Pappas to Compete in Austria

 
If it's July it must be Austria! 

 
Iceman Moore, Brad Anderson and I are heading to the Vienna suburb of Tulin to cover the 2007 Garlando World Championship Series event this July 19-23, as we continue to bring European style foosball to the rest of the world. This giant international event regularly draws more than 500 players from countries throughout Europe and around the world, with this year's event providing something extra special for fans of the American pro foosball tour. 

 
Along with regular annual attendee Billy Pappas, American superstars Terry Moore and Todd Loffredo will be traveling to Austria to compete at the Garlando Worlds for the very first time, and this should be a lot of fun to watch. Loffredo, who was not a member of any of the United States teams that have traveled overseas the past few years, will take his legendary game to Europe to compete with regular partner Frederic Collignon in doubles, as this "greatest team ever" tries to add another world title to their unmatched career total. Terry Moore played Garlando foosball at the multi-table events held in Germany and Italy last year, and is a pretty solid performer on this unique table that features, among other things, banked side strips, making for a different kind of passing experience. 

 
All five of the World Championship Series events held during the 2007 season will feature a National Team Competition, and the event in Tulin will be no different with Brad, Iceman, and I joining three guys named Loffredo, Moore, and Pappas, along with Tiffany Moore, to form the United States entry. This "World Cup"-style event features eight person teams (6 men, 2 women) competing in an eight game, country vs. country format to decide which country is the world's best on a particular table. So far this year, the French team won on Bonzini, and the Belgians were victorious at the TecBall event held in May. 2006 World Cup champion Austria will be the pre-tournament favorites on the Garlando table in their home country. The National Team Competition at these World Championship Series tournaments has been one of the most popular and entertaining additions to the international foosball scene.

 
Look for a report on this exciting event in next month's Inside Foos Newsletter.

Parts for coin op Tournament soccer table


           Sun, Mar 26 2006

Hi All
Does anyone know the name of the company that manufactures Tournament
soccer tables? and do they have a website?, I need some internal coin
op parts and other stuff to complete a restoration project.

cheers

Hi there from Germany
Which table do you restore?
Tornado? Garlando? Deutscher Meister? Löwen Soccer? Original Kicker?
here some links for you:

Try: Peach State Distributing in Georgia (Atlanta I think) - they stock old foosball table parts.
Also try: www.foosballstore.com
The original TS table are no longer being made, although similar
versions of them are being made and used mostly in Germany (Lowen tables).

Actually, parts for Tournament Soccer tables are still licensed and
distributed by Mazzco and Wico, tel: (800) 367-9426, two affiliated
wholesalers/importers just outside of Chicago
(Bensenville, I think.)
Do a Google search and you'll probably find the rest fo the contact
info and partial online catalogs.  Mazzco even sells T.S. Blacktops
(the final version made) in the classic coin-op split cabinet style but
with improved leg levelers.  If you must, you can pay retail by going
to thefoosballstore.com for the same parts and a whole lot of foosball
promo items.  Last, almost identical parts to T.S. are in fact
available from Germany through Lowen or more recently, from Lehmacher
-- they're more pricey, but are improved parts (rods, handles, balls,
men, bumpers: better materials...), but the internal parts are
completely different.

Hope that helps,
- Larry "Euro-Foosin" Davis
