It would involve me travelling to every single foosball hotspot in the world and writing little blurbs about them. I actually did this when I backpacked Europe, playing foos in nearly every city I visited and keeping a journal, although it lacked detail. Titles include: Foosin' North America Foosin' South, Central America and the Caribbean Foosin' some of Africa Foosin' East Asia Foosin' some of Western Asia Foosin' Europe (this one would be huge) For example: Kingston, Ontario Smijies Located at the corner of Princess and Division 2 Tornado Foosball Tables - $1 per play Tournaments are held weekly on Tuesday Quality of play is generally low with a few isolated exceptions On other nights of the week, you can expect a steady stream of bar hacks Beer is moderately priced Music is top 40 pop and hip hop, usually played at deafening volumes Ask for Trevor and you might not have to pay a cover Overall: 3 goals (out of five) Rating System: 0 - table is unplayable, but the bar itself is awesome so you should go there anyways 1 - table is playable, but no one plays on it, but the bar is awesome so you should go there anyways 2 - either the table is in excellent condition or it is in okay shape but people play on it, also the bar is good enough to make it worth your time (Eg. Mybar) 3 - table(s) in excellent condition and some people play on them or table(s) in okay shape but good players play on them, bar is now worth your time on a foosball basis alone 4 - table(s) in excellent condition and good players play on them, bar is a must see for any serious fooser (Zampub in Ottawa or Le Skratch in Laval) 5 - tables in excellent condition, good players are there almost every night, atmosphere in the bar is awesome, bar is known to be a place where pro foosers reside.
