The BFA Club Trophy

The British Foosball Association would like to introduce the Club Trophy, the newest way for clubs to compete. The idea is simple: players score points for their clubs by doing well in events at tournaments – that’s it! The competition begins at this year’s Warwick Open and runs for the rest of the year, with the highest placing club awarded silverware and other prizes at the end.

8th Chairman's Blog - November 2011.

Hey guys. This is going to be a bit of a one-track blog focusing on the issues surrounding this year’s UKC. The forum announcement is here - http://forum.britfoos.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=9156 .

So, the situation right now is that we’re having a Garlando only UKC. I have been asked to explain why this is the case, so here I will try my best to do so.

7th Chairman's Blog - October 2011

Hey guys. I know it’s been a while since my last update, but I came to realise that monthly updates may not be the most appropriate format for this blog. Rather, I’ll post a new article whenever there is enough to warrant the time you take to read this. Now this isn’t to say that there hasn’t been much activity over the last 2 months, but often it is a case of what takes my time as chair would be of little interest and only take up one or two sentences of content for this blog – just general query answering, and sorting out a recent corporate event for example.

European Fireball Open 2011 - ITSF Master Series


This is the one you’ve all been waiting for – not only the most prestigious tournament of the UK calendar year, but also the biggest Fireball event yet held anywhere in the world!

The 2011 European Fireball Open will take place in Manchester on the 21st-23rd October at the Monton Suite of the Monton House Hotel. Full information and local accommodation deals can be found here.

6th Chairman's blog - July 2011

Hey guys, sorry for the lateness of this month’s blog. A currently inescapable fact of the BFA is that we, as a committee, are a voluntary organisation. We all ( well, we’ll give the recent post-grads a little more time to join the rest of us ;) ) have full time jobs, and lives, but we do try to give what time we have to do everything we need to. We do occasionally have most of us together, like at Isha, where we can have a bit of a get together in person rather than just over the committee forum. There was one photo taken of the last one, for anyone interested - http://bit.ly/qkm3vz.
