The CMUFoos club is in its early stages of developement, and would like to thank you for visiting our site. Since our recognition by the Carnegie Mellon Student Senate, we have been busy preparing our constitution, creating our website, building our memeber base, and planning events for our new club.
The Purpose of the CMU Foosball Club is:
- To introduce and familiarize the community to foosball: the sport's teachings, practices, disciplines, rules, and capabilities as a non-contact alternative to individual or team-oriented athletic participation
- To enhance a member's foosball ability through continuous practice, study, and guidance
- To provide an organizing service to match players for general play
- To provide Tournament play to press players to strive for Epic Master status
- To encourage members to continue playing foosball after leaving the club or university, in friendly or competitive events, by providing the confidence and skills needed to enjoy and successfully participate in foosball
UPDATE
Well, we are beginning our third year as a recognized organization on campus, and so we are focusing this year on expanding our club play to the larger Pittsburgh community.
As for the club, we require that you play at least 5 games with an existing member, and then we will consider you for membership. To remain an active member of the club, you need to have played in at least one of the last 3 tournaments. This way our rating system isn't trying to compare people that have left or lost interest after one tournament.
We would really like to have a small relaxed DYP tournament every other sunday in order to give people the opportunity to play competitively and for rating points more often than 3 or 4 times a semester but, people's schedules will dictate how well that goes.
We don't know what skill level you are, or how often you play, but we would be happy to meet with you and play some when you get a chance. Many of the better guys in the club take a lot of pride in teaching new players some of their tricks, the logic of the game, and most importantly the official rules that we try and follow.
If you have not already considered playing in the intramural tournament that starts in late September, then you really should. If you need a partner, let us know and we will help facilitate.
