League RUles

Respect

Treat everyone with respect.  This includes league admins, officials, organizers, team manager, team captains, teammates, venue staff, and literally anyone you encounter while thinking about foosball!  Be honest, and respectful to others in all situations.  Remember, this is a game, we are all here to have fun and enjoy ourselves.

Format

Each league night will follow the same format.  You will play through a number of events, each worth one league point, and the team with the most points at the end of the night wins!  For all of the details follow the link below.

GamePlay

All games will follow the ITSF Official Rules, unless otherwise posted below.  There are some specialty games that have their own rules which are explained below.  For the ITSF Official Rules, please follow the link below.

Matches

Teams will meet at their assigned location based on the schedule.  Team Captains will choose a phone or tablet and login to the league night’s Scorecard, where you will find the list of games, player matchups, and fields to enter results.  Teams will play through each game in the Scorecard, entering results as the night progresses.  At the end of the night, the team captains will submit the results, which will automatically update the league standings.

Scorecard

The Scorecards are accessible through any web browser, making it very easy for team Captains to enter and submit results.  The following League Games are played in this order for each league night:  

Doubles

Matches also include at least two Doubles games per player.  Partners are predetermined based on the players’ rank.  

Singles

Matches include three singles games.  Each singles game has a salary cap so teams select the player who has a rank lower than the salary cap to play in that game.  The three singles games have salary caps of $2M, $4M, and $5M respectively.

Specialties

Matches include one head to head specialty game per player.  A coin toss determines which team gets to choose between: (i) Goalie Wars; (ii) Five-Bar Wars; or (iii) Forward Shootout.

Specialty Games

The following games designed to help you learn to defend, pass, and shoot.

Learn to Shoot

Forward Shootout

Just like a hockey or soccer shootout, players take turns shooting on goal and defending in a series of shots to determine a winner.

LEarn to Defend

Goalie Wars

Use rod locks to hold the middle four rods up.  Each player uses only the rods in the goalie position to shoot at each other.  

Learn to Pass

Five-Bar Wars

Players stand in the forward position, and take turns trying to make a pass from the five-bar to their three-bar.
