REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS FOOSBALL TOURNAMENT

Presents the $3,000

ROOKIE & SEMI PRO
REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS
For this year 2003, the Southern Foosball Program presents the Regional Championships of foosball competition primarily for those players ranked "Rookie" or "Semi-Pro" within the United States Table Soccer Association. Additional information is included below outlining other stipulations concerning eligibility. The event is to be held during the weekend of May 9th - 11th at "FAT CAT'S FUN, FOOD, & SPIRITS" located at 2523 Veterans Memorial Hwy., in Austell, Georgia. Prizes to be awarded during the event, along with cash, is estimated to reach a value close to $3,000. In an effort not to totally leave out the local professional players, the Program has included a Georgia Domination event which can serve as a chance for recognition and possibly a shift in bragging rights among the local elite foosball enthusiasts.
"ROOKIE/SEMI-PRO DOUBLES" is the main event of the weekend and all eligible are welcome and invited to participate. Those that register for the main event will then be qualified to enter and compete for regional titles in the other specialty events that will be presented during the weekend. Players may register at anytime during the weekend for the main event and then any other of the nine specialty events that they are qualified to play. The current United States Table Soccer Association ratings will be used to dictate a players eligibility. Unrated players will be allowed to enter and compete as rookie.
