Search Engine Foosball Smackdown
In a battle for universal search engine foosball domination, Google and Yahoo are meeting in a clash of the titans at SES San Jose. Microsoft has also been invited, and is trying to put together a team. This could determine the future of the search industry (well foosball-wise at least).
So come to the Networking Cocktail Reception on Tuesday. Play will start as close to 5:15 PM as possible, so we can get the games done prior to the end of the reception. Bring your cameras, bring your loyalties, and cheer for your favorites!
We will also be holding our usual Beat the Pros Foosball Challenge. This will take place at the following times:
- Tuesday morning from 10 AM to 11 AM PT (in the Expo Hall)
- Wednesday afternoon 2:15 to 2:45 PM PT (in the Expo Hall)
- Wednesday afternoon 5:30 to 6:30 PM PT (in the registration area)
Of course, if you see us (John Biundo and Eric Enge) at the table any time prior to Wednesday afternoon, we will be glad to play you in a Beat the Pros challenge match right then and there. We will be there at lunch on Tuesday and Wednesday for example.
By 6:30 PM on Wednesday, we will announce which team has performed the best in playing against us (scored the most points), and that team will win a brand new pair of iPod Touch's. Any ties will be resolved by a random drawing (or a head to head matchup if that is possible).
Hey Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft - think you can take us? You are eligible for the prize too, and we will be there and ready to play at any time, including right after the smackdown is complete ...

We over here at Become.com are known for our exceptional Foosball prowess. I believe we'll have to field a team or two for this challenge

Be scared...be very scared. These are not simple human foosballers. I think there may be supernatural or even alien influences at play when these guys are at the table and some of the superb contestants that comes out of the woodwork only to lose valiantly.
If anyone wants to play some "were not that amazing" matchups, look for me around the outskirts of center court...hopefully there will be a division two table available. :)
