current official foosball rankings

1. The Law
2. p.o.B
3. COACH
4. JerS
5. TGuG


Heading into the mid-season break, the rankings continue Wall St.-like fluctuations. Staking claim to the #1 ranking, then defending that claim throughout the week, The Law would have to be the most improved player over the first half of the season and his novel use of forwards in a defensively offensive scheme has been brilliant. While p.o.B may have slipped ever so slightly to #2 this week, his offensive skills still keep opponents on edge, allowing them to relax only after thoroughly clearing the ball. COACH moves into #3 this week with maybe his best efforts of the season, his defensive-oriented scheme keeping him in many games and his offensive skills are quickly improving. JerS clearly had his worst week of the season and consequently drops to #4. With maybe the quickest reflexes in the league making him a constant threat to score, his embrace of an 'all-offense/defense be damned' philosophy has clearly contributed to his precipitous decline. And continuing to hold onto the #5 ranking is TGuG, whose excellent defense and score from the back capability in the doubles game, have yet to translate to the more-appreciated singles game.
