The Foosball Source The biggest and baddest of the Foosball web sites. Formerly the Foosball Home Page (dcs.umd.edu). The Place to Be, from my foos friend, Clay Gump. (some choice Foosball Source direct links bulleted below):
- Also buy a Tornado table from Jim Waterman! Jim Waterman's On-Line Sales at the Foosball Source, since 1994. Good, honest pricing-- I've seen tables for sale elsewhere at ridiculous mark-ups, bu t Jim has kept the prices low. Rumor has it: Free apple pies! Okay, just kidding. Some RSTSers gave him the prefix "Crazy" as just a joke... and it stuck... must be his crazy prices... He can drop-ship straight to you from the factory. The oldest foosball vendor on the Internet!
- Submit your foosball playing location to the Foosball Source, if it is not listed or incorrect in our playing-locations file. US, Canada, Europe, Egypt, Africa, wherever! Clay now maintains the master file at the Foosball Source, so don't send them to me anymore whew!

NATSA (North American Table Soccer Association) Finally, a Player-Based organization for foosers. This is not a manufacturer-based organization. Big names in all sorts of play (Tornado style and French style) are involved in this organization. Just come to this link and see what they're all about. Tentative directors include the who's who of foosball: Ken Alwell, Kathy Brainard, Brian King, Robert Mares, Dave Gummeson, Steve Beine, Jim Waterman, Mary Moore, Bruce Nardoci (french foos/NC/SC), Jim Stevens, Adrian Zamora, and more. I'll add a full description here soon, but just come read their goals. If you don't know these names, they are national player champions, event officials, authors, sports video makers, regional promoters, independents, and more. This is awesome stuff! Go now! Go See! Join now and help start the new tour! (7/99)

The Dynamo Company A link from the maker of Dynamo and Stryker foos tables! Let's see that Stryker (16k) with the digital display, electronic ball dispenser, and of course the speedmeter in each goal! With the "perfectly round" ball? Sound familiar from my evangelizing in Learning Foosball FAQ 4? Air Hockey too, and more. Very helpful technical support staff via e-mail! (4/99)
- Dynamo Coinop Table Assembly Instructions (PDF, 30K) that I got from their tech support staff.
RecRooms A Tornado vendor and keeper of the on-line USTSA Winter Tour Points Book. Even VIFA's site links to this points book. Also has a Calendar of Events for USTSA and VIFA.
- direct link to Points listing at RecRooms
- also see points listing at Players Tour 5000 site (this link is not at recrooms)
Bonzini USA The official site for Bonzini in the United States. Bonzini tables are "french style," and are similar to Rene Pierre in play. Balls can be made of cork, and the men are metal, and front toe shots reign supreme. See Bruce Nardoci's fascinating accounts of going to France for the Foosball Championships. Just click on the "Gallery"/History Section. (6/99)
The Player's Tour For the Players, By the Players. The Players Tour is the organization formed to represent the competitors of the sport. For the players to have a clearvoice in the direction table soccer takes, they need that voice to represent them exclusively. The Players Professional Table Soccer Tour is not affiliated with any of the table manufactures nor are we under organizations that were formed by the manufactures or their employees. (7/99)
