Preface
No matter which table, the fundamentals of foosball are universal. You will find that Tornado has a larger presence in the USA than others, but there is always a way to compete and have fun, no matter what style of foosball that table provides. There are only personal preferences and trade-offs.
Rules
For weekly events and Rookie/Beginner events, we use an abridged rule set: No spinning, and a fair serve (there is a “ready” protocol, and the ball is placed in the field, not dropped through the serve hole)
We recognize that most people are introduced to foosball in basements and bars, where sets of rules can vary from one family or group of friends to another, our larger tournaments are run according to International Table Soccer Federation (ITSF) rules of play:
