Back during the first of August this 2022, I had posted an announcement on the "Northwest Florida Foosball" Facebook page about my potentially spending considerable time working in the Pensacola area and that I would like to get together somewhere with anyone interested for some foosball action. I got lucky and was able to drag out a few players as a result including a couple long time Gulf Coast area foosball greats Greg McCann and Billy Miller. The photo shows us while at "Shooter's Lounge" of the Cordova Lanes in Pensacola. Mike Weaver, of Fort Walton, is another player that joined us occasionally and is who snapped the photo of which he eventually shared with me. Billy Miller, of nearby area Navarre,FL., is the person shown on the far right of the photo with Greg McCann shown in the middle. Greg now lives at Pensacola Beach but he was a long-time resident of Shalimar, Florida and he is who, upon a time ago, promoted the popular long time running foosball action held at the popular "Hell'n Back" location of Fort Walton Beach.
A few months have past now and it turns out that we have gathered on numerous occasions for lots of fun time playing foosball of which has helped me greatly keeping the rust knocked off during my time spent in the area. I did eventually make it over to Mobile, Alabama to play with the locals that frequent the "Pelican Reef" where it was nice meeting and seeing several players that I had not seen in a very long time, including Jay Trubee and Lee McDonald. I got to meet and play some games with Tour professional player, Paul Renken, of which is a somewhat active player on the foosball Tour from Alabama these days. Paul lives in Spanish Fort, Alabama and is a very skilled foosball player. I will likely continue to be in the Pensacola area on occasion since my daughter, Claire, now lives there. Hopefully, I'll get to continue seeing all of you periodically at the foosball table.
Take care, Rodney Jenkins.

The Alabama Foosball Program will be suggesting a Monster March Madness period for the WEEKLY foosball tournament locations in Leeds and in Madison,AL. Plans are to employ the popular Monster DYP playing format in the place of the usual "Spot'DYP" during the coming month of March 2022. All set to begin on Wednesday night of next week 7pm at Madison Station Bar & Grill. Monster DYP is described as a single-player mode while each player gets software generated randomly assigned partners and plays against another random team. The attempt is, that every player is playing once with other players in fair balanced matches. With every won game, the winning team gets points and it's all about fighting for the top position in the table. It is possible to add and remove player at any time. Elimination round with fixed teams can be started at any time (Money Match Playoff). You can see additional information at kickertool.com. I hope you can make it out and join us participating this experimental period.
Thanks, Rodney Jenkins

Those that frequently participate the tournaments featuring the Spot' Format please be advised: substantial adjustments have been made to the player class rankings to be effective January 2022. It was determined that a scale-back adjustment was the best approach to addressing the requests being suggested by player participants. I started by simply resetting most player rankings back to as they were a couple years ago just prior to when the TOP class was implemented and then I made some adjustments from that point. Will likely continue to adjust the rankings for a period of days as needed to more satisfy those concerned. I do predict most of those that were listed as TOPs will likely return to that status. Meantime, anyone with requests or suggestions is welcome to message me with their input. ...Rodney Jenkins

You love to play foosball tournaments but you'd love some help against all those Pro's ?
Guess what, the Program will be creating a FoosBlitz! situation during some BYP tournaments which will allow local casual player teams a potential for reduced entry fees while also the benefit of the Spot' format. Same applies for the AA Class & under rated player teams except without the discounted entry fees gets the spot'format.

You love to play foosball but you don't want to play with/against all those Pro's ?
How about a FOOS-FRENZY where you can show up with or without your foosball-friends at the start of any of our scheduled foosball tournaments and, with enough interest and persons willing to participate, I will coordinate a foosball tournament for the "casual-type" foosball players present. With at least three eligible players or more participation, I will coordinate a singles tournament. Or, with at least six players or more, I will coordinate a draw-your-partner event. Double elimination bracket play-off will start immediately with one-game played determining the advancement through the bracket and eventually creating a Foosball Frenzy tournament winner and bragging rights to go with it. No tournament entry fee is involved and the first place winners will be awarded a Alabama Foosball Program certificate of achievement. Participants eligible are only casual foosball players and those of the Ala-Amateur class rating system with a BEGinner, D class, or C class status. Ê...Hope to see you at the foosball table and atop the Foos-Frenzy. Rodney Jenkins

Birmingham "Foos-Thursday" We are going to be continuing this a EVERY WEEK thing! I recently shifted the foosball tables from Bumpers Billiards in Hoover over to VAN'S BAR in Leeds, Alabama which is much more spacious and will better suite our "Foos-Thursday" tournament efforts and will also create much more potential opportunities for the multi-event Saturday tournaments to be periodically coordinated for the Birmingham area. .....[PHOTO]
Please notify all your foos-friends about the change of location and greatly looking forward to seeing and joining you in Leeds,AL for the next Foos-Thurday opportunity coming this July 15. ...Rodney Jenkins

Birmingham "Foos-Thursday" We are going to make this a EVERY WEEK thing! I'm planning on being at Bumpers Billiards in Hoover tonight at 7pm for pick-up games and/or a DYP tournament with enough interest. The effort last Thursday night had six teams of participants for the DYP where Steve Dodgen & Stephen Darby survived for the tournament win after Dale Moore & Jeremy Monroe forced a two-match final game contest. Fun time with some outstanding players that showed up to participate which included five players presently considered Alabama Foosball Program's top foosball players.
Hope to see you tonight at 2132 Lorna Ridge Ln. ...Rodney Jenkins

Hey "current" and "once upon a time" Birmingham area foosball players, I'm inviting all of you to join me for pick-up games and/or a DYP foosball tournament on this coming Thursday evening at 7pm. I recently set two Tornado foosball tables at Bumpers Billiards in Hoover, which is located at 2132 Lorna Ridge Ln., Hoover. It's been a very long time since we've got together for foosball activity in Birmingham and I'm looking forward to seeing all of who can make it out to participate, or at least, visit. I wish you would also notify anyone that you know that might be interested and extend this invitation. I'd love to see all known foosball enthusiast of past and present on Thursday night at Bumpers Billiards. "Wannabees" are welcome as well.
Thank you very much, Rodney Jenkins

With the National Professional Foosball's Tour Kick-off tournament for 2021 scheduled for the later part of this month in Lexington, Kentucky, a collective group of outstanding foosball players from the area and surrounding pitched in to help create a "warm-up" foosball competition effort. Foosball players from Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, and Mississippi gathered in Decatur, Alabama for some foosball tournament action on Saturday January 9th at "6 Pockets Bar & Billiards".
Thirty players took advantage of the opportunity to participate creating 15 teams competing in each of the two tournaments coordinated during the Saturday evening of foosball action that included a "Draw-Your-Partner" and then a "Bring-Your-Partner". Players capturing the first place win of the DYP would be Daniel Colter of the Birmingham area along with his partner Terry Couch of Georgia. Later in the evening for the deemed main event competition was the BYP tournament that was packed with outstanding foosball players from the areas mentioned above, Daniel Colter would manage a repeat winning performance teamed with Dale Moore, also of Birmingham, Alabama.
Jeremy Monroe did an outstanding job leading the planning, setting up, and coordinating of the event along with help from several in attendance, as did 6 Pockets Bar & Billiards with hosting the competition. Prizes distributed to the first through third place finishing teams were created by a payback of the entry fees collected along with added money kicked-in by the bar together with additional $100 added by West Georgia Foosball which in all created a total of $1,145.00 paid out accordingly. Additionally, a calcutta auction was coordinated during the main event which added an additional $360.00 of winnings. See Jeremy's North Alabama Foosball on Facebook for additional results and access to select video footage of the tournament action. Nice job everyone involved. Congratulations to all participating players and their outstanding performances that created such a fun and competitive tournament. Especially nice job to those achieving the championship wins. My guess is that Mr. Daniel Colter potentially left Decatur smelling like $$$$$... Roll Tide!!!

As has been the case in many areas, COVID-19 situations have halted foosball tournament action in Tennessee and in Georgia. Here in North Alabama, local foosball players have teamed with "6 Pockets Bar & Billiards" and have invited foosball players for tournament action coordinated here in Decatur, Alabama. Jeremy Monroe volunteered his time and effort setting up and coordinating foosball events on Saturday December 12th 2020. As a result, locals together with some players from Georgia created a 14 team participating fun-time foosball tournament. On that day, players enjoyed participating in DYP and BYP foosball tournament action. Please see information and also keep up with Jeremy's future tournament efforts at his newly created North Alabama Foosball group on Facebook where plans for another tournament in Decatur is already set in place for Saturday January 9. Additionally, Jeremy is in process of getting set up for live streaming of foosball matches on his Group as well. I hope all will visit and participate at: "North Alabama Foosball" on Facebook.

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]
