COVID-19 situations have halted recent foosball tournament action in Tennessee and in Georgia. Alabama local foosball players and Ò6 Pockets BilliardsÓ recently invited foosball players for tournament action here in Decatur, Alabama. Jeremy Monroe volunteered to set up and coordinate events on Saturday December 12th where locals combined with a few Georgia foosball players and created a FUN 14-team foosball tournament. On that day, players enjoyed participating in DYP and BYP foosball tournament action. This message is helping to announce: Jeremy has made plans to do it again on Saturday January 9th. HeÕs hoping to attract at least 20 teams of players for this upcoming tournament date. Please see information and also keep up with JeremyÕs tournament efforts at his newly created North Alabama Foosball Group on Facebook. Also, he has been sharing photos from this southernfoosball.com along with those of Leigh OÕQunnÕs unique collections that has regenerated player discussions and an opportunity reminiscing about the ole days of playing foosball. I hope all interested will visit and participate at: "North Alabama Foosball".

I have sad news to share: a long-time foosball player, Jeff Deskins, has passed away this May 5th--reportedly after suffering a heart attack at his home. Jeffery Deskins, of Jasper in North Alabama, was a participant in our Alabama Foosball Program events for many years sometimes regularly and sometimes occasionally. He loved to play foosball and was a very skilled player. He could smash a long pull shot as hard and accurate as anybody that I've ever seen play the game. He liked to move the ball around quickly on the five-roll before eventually delivering his unique passing series to his three-roll. While he mostly played the forward position, he was actually an excellent goalie as well. Of all the tournament events that he and I were ever teamed together, I'm pretty sure that we won every single one of them--most oftenly, it would be he that would score a crucial or winning point from a goalie shot he executed. I can remember these things because Jeff was the type that loved to keep you reminded of all his great performances whether it be with you or against you. When Jeff was regularly active playing foosball he was a tough foosball competitor, he and his most often teamed with partner and long-time friend, Jerry Stewart were tough to beat. Jeff was a great guy and one of those I loved to see show up to play, I will miss him tremendously as I know that all of you his friends will as well. My heart felt condolences are extended to all his friends and especially to his family. [IN MEMORY OF]

The Alabama Foosball Program of events will be shut down during this COVID-19 pandemic. Stay safe during this crazy time. ........Announcements! Businesses Madison Station and 6 Pockets have re-opened for business. Several players have been getting together for random foosball action communicating about it via the foosball text groups and Facebook Messenger. If you are interested potentially participating with them let me know and I can have you added to their messaging groups. For example: Jeremy Monroe notified me that he and several others are planning on playing foosball at the 6 Pockets location in Decatur on Saturday evening May 23rd. He expects enough players to be attending and wants to coordinate a DYP tournament at 6pm and potentially a BYP to follow. He asked if I would help spread the word inviting those that might be interested participating.

The $1,000 Bama "Bad Boy" Showdown This Decatur,Alabama foosball tournament was somewhat lightly participated due partially to the flu virus going around, but those players in attendance created an entertaining foosball playing battleground for the $1,110 cash and special title that was up for grabs. Outstanding performances for the tournament by Jim Wiggs, of Springville,AL., and Nick Peterson, of Decatur,AL., will share the Bama "Bad Boy" title for this tournament. Jim Wiggs won 1st place finishes for both the open singles and the main event, open doubles. While with a solid finish for all three events, Nick Peterson captured a share of the "Bad Boy" along with a "protecting his turf nod" since it turns out that he was the only local-to-Decatur-player that participated the events. Nick Peterson and his partner, Eric Newton of the Atlanta,GA area, won the winners bracket of the open DYP which technically turned into the event final win due to an agreed split and no actual final match played. Nick also finished 3rd place in open doubles with Dale Moore and 2nd place in the open singles event. Nick was able to force a second match for the finals of open singles of which is the win that helped him capture a portion of the Bama "Bad Boy" cash and title. Congratulations to both players along with the others that helped them earn their wins. Complete results are included in the results portion of this page.
I had a great time at this tournament and had the pleasure of observing some great performances from several of our players here in North Alabama. It helped me realize just how far these guys have come recently with their ability to play foosball. I love hearing comments by the seasoned players that occasionally travel distantly to participate our tournaments "man, these guys are good!".
Thanks to all those participating the Alabama Foosball Program, and also a major thank you must be extended to "6 Pockets Bar & Billiards" for hosting the events and the outstanding support provided including the opportunity extended for foosball here in North Alabama. ...Rodney Jenkins

The $250 Added! North Alabama Open foosball tournament this past weekend turned into a fun battle for portions of right at $750. For the "open draw" and "open doubles" events on Saturday, players from surrounding areas of North and Central Alabama showed up to participate along with a few of Georgia's top players creating some very exciting and fun matches during the evening. The top two finishing teams of the nine-team open draw tournament are shown in the photo to the right. Unfortunately, they decided not to play the final match and instead agreed to split evenly the prize payout for the event. Al Widok and Nick Peterson were undefeated for the event while Steve Dodgen and David Burnett were runner up. Jeremy Monroe and Jim Wiggs placed 3rd while Stephen Darby and Dale Moore were 4th. During the open doubles event there were nine teams participating as well and the results were as follows: Rodney Jenkins and Jerry Stewart 1st place; Nick Peterson and Chris Forsyth 2nd. Jeremy Monroe and Jim Wiggs finishing 3rd with Steve Dodgen and Ken Williams 4th place. Rodney Jenkins captured open singles with Chris Forsyth at 2nd. Jerry Stewart was 3rd place and Stephen Darby 4th. Everyone did a great job helping keep the tournament matches running smoothly during the evening and we were able to finish the tournament probably a little past midnight. I had a great time seeing everyone and I thank you all very much for coming out for the event. Looking forward to the next, Rodney Jenkins.
