For the past 6 months or so, we’ve been keeping score of the winner and losers in our daily foosball breaks. The way it works is, we play 2 on 2 games, so 4 players in full set. A set consists of 3 games, so each player plays a game with every other player. A game is won by the first team to 10 points and the team switches position (front / back) after they have 5 points scored against them.

After 3 games, mathematically, there is always someone that either won all 3 games or lost all 3 games. This person is crowned with the title of “King” or “Joker” and thus, must put a king or joker sticker by their name on the scoreboard.

As you can see, some of us have so many Kings, we’re off the chart! I also have my share of Joker stickers, which I like to say were due to thrown games by those that don’t like me to win.

We have a coined a couple new foosball terms:

• foosed, as in “You just got FOOSED!”. This occurs when a player hits the ball away from thier own goal (typically a goalie or guard) and the defender (which is an offensive player) slams the ball right back at them and into the goal.
• toshed, as in “toshed it!” or “don’t tosh yourself”. This occurs when a player hits the ball so hard, it bounces off the far wall and back into their own goal. Named after our very own, hard hitting Tosh M.
