I walked into an arcade in Huntington Beach California about 30 years ago and saw a 4 color poster on the wall promoting a quarter million dollar foosball tour and said to myself " That's the life for me"
 It was for about 2 years, fully sponsored on tour. Air, hotel, and entry fees by the local foosball house which was Happy Jacks with 40 Tournament Soccer tables. What a fantastic time it was. Thousands of players. Tournaments everyday of the week. Big ones 2 times or more a month.
  Then it ended. The tour went bust and I screwed up my wrist. But in those 2 glorious years I learned a lot of life lessons and made allot of lifelong friends. I want it back for myself and for 10's of thousands of youngsters.

 That's the emotional side of foosball for me.

 Here's the business side:

 There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that the market for foosball here in the USA is not being capitalized on properly and there is a window of opportunity for a group of individuals that have the desire, commitment, talent and some resources to market the sport of foosball and within 3 to 5 years have a stable profitable business.

How big can it be?

I think with a 3-5 year commitment and a few million bucks, WITH THE RIGHT DEDICATED, TALENTED, PEOPLE,

HERE'S WHAT I BELIEVE IS NOT A PIPE DREAM BUT A REALISTIC GOAL.

1,000,000+ tour with a 50-100 thousand dollar 1st place doubles prize at the US Championship

Do I believe entry fees by players will sustain that? NO

How will it be done? Major sponsors and subsidies by foosball manufacturers along with foosball related products.

To get the big sponsors for REAL MONEY YOU MUST HAVE TV COVERAGE. TO GET TV COVERAGE YOU MUST HAVE A PRODUCT THAT WILL ENTERTAIN PEOPLE ON TV.

This of course will assist immensely in the sales of foosball tables. (My goal is 10,000,000+ in sales annually)


The reason for this post is I know there are allot of good people out there that feel as passionate about the sport as I do and have allot of questions and concerns about how Warrior entering this market will affect them. I cannot answer all those questions know but I believe 2 things very sincerely.

1. I will make every conceivable effort to recruit every promoter, distributor, retailer and anyone involved in the sport of foosball to at least being partially involved with Warrior tables even if its only part of your foosball business.

2. By publicizing and advertising any foosball table all the other manufacturers benefit in the long run. That is fact.


Mary Moore and IFP will run and or co-ordinate all major tournaments on Warrior Tables. This is a priceless advantage. I am honored that a person of her talent and respectability is willing to help me make my vision become a reality.

What part do I expect others to participate? If you love this sport just do what you think is the right thing to do. Play Warrior Tournaments, Play Tornado, Play Foosball.

I do not expect everyone to agree with everything I do. I do expect a reasonable person to understand I am doing my best to expand the sport of foosball and not hurt it.

There is plenty of work to be done and like I said earlier it will take good people that have allot of desire and commitment and I am in talks with several people to undertake different tasks and positions as they open up. An important one that I will fill within the next 30 days is a pr person to answer the many questions that I know allot of you have. I must admit at this point I do not even have the answers to some of them.

I realize that this small post may not answer all of your questions but I felt I needed to at least shed some type of light regarding my intentions with the foosball community.

Thank You
