Tournament Structure
A total of 24 players can sign up to play.
All of the players will be split up into 2 groups…each group will be assigned a foosball table.
Each group will be broken down into 6 teams, with 2 players on each team.
You can choose your own team and group.
Each team will play 5 matches - 1 match against each of the other teams in their group.
Teams compete to score the most points (goals) over the course of 3 matches.
Teams with the highest point totals after playing their 3 matches will play a championship match against players from the NY Red Bulls professional soccer team and receive prizes.
In the case of a tie at a table at the end of the 6 matches, a sudden-death game to 1 point will be played to break the tie.
Scoring Rules
There is a ten-minute time limit to each match. If time runs out before either team achieves 10 goals then the teams receive whatever their current scores to their point total.
If a team reaches ten points before ten minutes runs out, then they win that match and receive 10 points. The opponent team receives whatever points equal to the number of goals they scored during the match.
For example: If a game runs out at ten-minutes with a score of 7 to 4. One team adds 7 points to their total score and the other adds 4 points to their total score.
If a team wins a match 10 to 5 before the end of 10-minutes then they receive 10 points to their point total and their opponents receive 5 points to their total.
Scores will be recorded by tournament officials; their decision is final in the case of dispute.
