To be noted that the Open tournament attracted 18 players and that the event was played in 2 groups of 9 players, which meant everyone had a lot of games.

9. Malta: Muscat meets Subbuteo national team Labour leader Joseph Muscat met the Subbuteo national team at the Labour Headquarters in Hamrun on Monday.The national Subbuteo team will be participating in the upcoming Footbal Team World Championship in Rotterdam, Holland in September. Dr Muscat said politicians should not just support mainstream sports, but also disciplines such as subbuteo. "Unfortunately, non-mainstream sports end up making great sacrifices, including financial ones."
Tony Sapiano, president of the Malta Table Football Sport Association, said that subbuteo players make great sacrifices to reach high standards in the sport. In the last edition of the football table world championship, Malta reached the final. "There is great expectations among the players," Sapiano added.
At the end of the meeting, Dr Muscat was presented with a subbuteo team.

1. Raymond Kroonberg dies at the age of 80 Wednesday was a very sad day for FISTF. Raymond Kroonberg, FISTF president from 1995 to 1998, died at the age of 80. Mr Kroonberg had been the main organizer of Belgian Subbuteo for many years and a pioneer of the international Subbuteo scene. He was indeed one of the founders of the ETF back in the early 60's. There will be a minute of silence in his memory during the FISTF world cup in Rotterdam.

2. World cup live results
During the tournaments the results of the world cup should be available live at http://www.worldcup2009.eu/liveNL.html

7. Subbuteo in Canada
Hello, as you probably know Mark Meihuizen decided to resign as organizer of Canadian table football. Before a solution is found, FISTF decided to set up a free blog at http://subbuteo-canada.blogspot.com/
The blog will be a place to meet and post ideas. I have sent you an invitation by email to post news about your club, league games, tournaments,... Also, people interested to become contributors to the blog can drop me a line.

8. International Open in Bergkamen

10. Transfer news

After 8 seasons as a Mattersburg player, top veteran player Erich Hinkelmann is moving to the club of TFC Wiener Neustadt. Thomas Busch is leaving Wiener Neustadt to join brother David in the italian squad of Sessana.

11. USA: So Cal & Aargu Süd become twins On September 1 the Southern California Subbuteo Club (SCSC), USA, and the Subbuteo Players Aargau Süd (SPAS), Switzerland, have become twins.
"Twinning is a way to share the camaraderie of Subbuteo playing with players from other clubs in other countries," Simon Hutchinson of the SCSC explained.  "Thomas and Trisha Baumeler visited us earlier this month and we so enjoyed their company that we started talking about formalizing a relationship with our clubs as twins."
"For us it is a great honour to become twins with the SCSC," Maxwell Gautschi, the founder of the SPAS explained.
"SPAS are the largest and most active Subbuteo club in Switzerland," he continued.  "Until this year we were active only in Europe, playing in many major tournaments in other European countries.  Trisha and Thomas Baumeler became the first Swiss to play in the USA."
"The members of the SCSC were marvellous hosts, and very fair sportsmen,"
Thomas Baumeler stated.  "The day we played will always be a good memory for us.  We may be 12,000 kilometres apart from each other, but we feel so close."
The SPAS becomes the SCSC's fourth twin.

1. Open world cup
Italy dominated the FISTF world cup this week-end in Rotterdam. The tournament was played in the beautiful SPORTCENTRUM WEST, near the football stadium of Sparta Rotterdam. The organisation was of a very good level and the sportsmanship between players was great. Daniele Bertelli became the Open champion for the second time ater his victory in 2007. This time, Bertelli was the only Italian left in the quarter-finals but he managed to beat Hansel Mallia (2-0) and Mark Gauci (2-1) to reach the final. At this stage, he beat Belgium's Valéry dejardin. The tallest guy of the tournament be the smallest one (4-2) :-)Bertelli and Italy also won the team title.
The Squadra Azzura had a though game in the quarter-finals against Italy bt they later beat Belgium and Austria.

2. U19: Kegenbein did it!
In the U19 section, the surprise came from Germany. While many observes expected Juan Noguera and José Ros to dominate the event, the final was a german affair with Dominik Schulz and Bjorn Kegenbein dominating the event.
In the final, Kegenbein final took the honors, winning his second title in a row, one year after becoming the king of the U15 category. In the team event, there was some revenge in the air and in a very expected final between Spain and Germany, Noguera and his mates won their third title in a row.

3. The Queen is still there
Belgium took the honors in the ladies category. On saturday, Delphine Dieudonné proved to everyone she's still the best player int he world as she beat Françoise Guyot on a clear 7-2 in the final. Dieudonné was also the leader of the belgian national team on sunday. Along with Bertholet, Doumont, Hardenne and Beckers, the "Girls in black" beat Italy on a short
2-1 in the final.

4. U15 & U12: Italy gave no chance
The U12 and U15 sections were an italian affair as the Squadra Azzurra won the 4 possible tournaments. In the individual event, Diego Tagliaferri and Emmanuele Lo Cascio won the U12 and U15 events. On the next day, Italy also won the team finals on a clear 4-0 aganst France in the U15 section and on a easy 3-0 against Belgium in the U12 tournament.

5. Number 3 for Martijn Bom
Despite some disappointing results in the FISTF Tour, Martijn Bom proved to be on top at the right moment of the year as the Dutchman managed to win his third individual event. This time, he beat Erich Hinkelmann in the final. Once again, Italy managed to do better on saunday. The Italians dominated the team events and took the tile after a close final against Italy. Well done.

8. FISTF meeting: what happened?
FISTF held a very constructive meeting before the world cup like friday in Rotterdam. Anyone wanting a copy of the meeting minutes can drop me a line.
Here are the main decisions taken during (and after) the meeting.
a) Silvio Catanio (Malta) becomes the new FISTF General Secretary ad interim. E-mail: maltatablefootball@gmail.com
b) Piero Capponi becomes the new FISTF vice-president in charge of marketing & communication. E-mail: pcapponi@ftchamps.com
c) The U12 category becomes official from now on.
d) The new commission about material will study to possibility to change the rules of the goalkeeper. The commission will have to send a proposal to the FISTF Board for approval.
e) An international meeting should be held over 2 days to discuss the future of the sport in a location to be decided soon.
f) The rules about sportswear during tournament will be enforced.
g) In FISTF tournaments U12 players can never be referees.
h) Consolation tournaments should always be held in FISTF events (excepted Majors).

9. FISTF World Cup 2010 in Denmark
There was a lot of discussion about the FISTF World Cup 2010 during the FISTF eeting held last friday. But finally the organizers send us a lot of positive informations about their plans to host the event. The tournament will be held on September 4 & 5 in Odense, Denmark. The venue will be Hunderup-hallen (Hunderup Hall), which is a sports centre situated in a park area in the middle of Odense. A very nice place.

Organizers will most likely use the pitches from Rotterdam 2009, although there is a chance that the town of Odense will sponsor all new tables for the tournament (and for future use in schools and clubs and such). They will know that by the end of this year.

Organizers will probably not make any special arrangements with hotels, so they suggest that visitors who are eager to book their holiday now check in at www.hotels.com and find what suits them. As mentioned above, the venue will be in the center of Odense. Most importantly, Organizers will be able to offer very cheap (probably 15 Euro per night) accomodation in a nearby school, so everyone who can live without the luxury of a hotel is welcome to make this choice.

In general, Organizers can say that in the organisation schedule January 1st 2010 is the date where all important things concerning the tournamant is to be properly anounced on an Official World Cup 2010 website.
Organizers are taken a bit by surprise that participants are already at this moment in need of a detailed description of the event. We ask for a bit of patience - bear in mind that the event is in a year, not a week, from now - but of course anyone should feel free to send their questions and they will answer them the best they can.

For details, feel free to contact Jonas Bentzen at benz@galnet.dk

2. Beggs again!
Kenny Beggs retained the All-Ireland Open title, beating John Moore on shots after a close final which ended 1-1. John dominated the first half but Kenny gradually came into the game and took the lead midway through the 2nd half. This prompted John to attack again and he was rewarded with an equaliser to take the game into extra-time. Kenny had possession for the whole of the extra period but he couldn't break down John's solid defence, so a shoot-out was required. John missed all five shots, while Kenny scored only one to win the Championship by the narrowest of margins. Kenny made it a double by defeating David Clegg 2-0 in the Veteran Final.
There is a new name on the Under-19 Trophy, as Mark McKane knocked out reigning Champion, Peter Morrison, on shots in the semi-final before beating Adam Scullion 2-0 in the Final.
Nicky Moore beat Alistair Morison 1-0 in the Plate Final.

13. USA: Carl Nielsen Memorial Challenge (by Simon Hutchinson) On Saturday 3 October, 2009, the Southern California Subbuteo Club played host to players from two other Subbuteo clubs for the Carl Nielsen Memorial Challenge. Anders Bruhl Hansen,Jesper Staal Nielsen, andKristian Staal Nielsen represented the Lega Liga Subbuteo Club of Odense, Denmark, and ex-SCSCregular Ric Rivas and his wife Seow Yin made the journey from Tucson, Arizona to take part.  The Rivases were previously members of the Lions Subbuteo Club, Singapore.
The event was deemed a "challenge" rather then a tournament so that everyone could play the members of the other clubs, rather than the people in their own club.
The Danes were so much better than everyone else winning seven of their eight games, including four "mercy rule" victories.  The eighth game was a tie between Hansen and the SCSC's Wayne Smith.  The "mercy rule" stops the game when one of the players reaches a four goal lead over their opponent.
Ric found it hard to keep up with his former club mates after a long lay off from playing.  He lost by three goals to Dominic Hutchinson, and by a single goal to Simon Hutchinson.  Seow Yin only played one game, in which she was "mercy ruled" by the older Hutchinson.
And why did we name this event after Carl Nielsen?  Nielsen was born in a small village to the south of Odense, and died on 3 October 1931 making the day of the Challenge the 78th anniversary of his demise.
All the results and a full report can be found on the Carl Nielsen Memorial Challenge page on the SCSC's website.

7. Sad news in Spain
FISTF would like to present the condolences to the family of Juan Carlos Granados Cuellar. Juan Carlos lost his father who died at the age of 82.

8. Table football in Malawi
Thanks to the belgian club of SC Flanders, there is some subbuteo activity in the african state of Malawi. A group of Belgians is helping three schools on the island of Likoma to get material for education and sports activities and in a recent conversation with some players of the SC Flanders club, an agreement was found to introduce subbuteo table football over there. Two sets and some spare material have been sent this year and the members of the association (see http://www.projectmalawi.be/ervaringen/200805_Reisverslag_Guido_en_Nicole.htm
for details) paid a visit to the kids. All of them are crazy about football so the table football material was more than appreciated. Kids don't have full tables yet but full pitches are going to be built soon.
There is a good chance that the associaion "Malawi Belgium" will pay another visit in Africa in 2011 so we'll know more about the possible development of tale football among the local youth. Any person wanting to offer more material should contact Filip Van Hulle at filip@subbuteovlaanderen.be

9. New cub in Portugal

1. Resignations
The FISTF is sorry to announce that Piero Capponi, José Carlos Guerrero and Stefano Tagliaferri have resigned of their jobs in the FISTF. We thank them for their efforts over the last 2 months.

2. The Eagles Napoli are the champions
A superb goal by Massimo Bolognino in the last 20 seconds of the final offered the continental title to the Eagles Napoli. The Italians were surprising winners as they were not part of the 26 teams who registered in due time. They were invited to fill the field of 32 teams and had a strong role of outsider in the tournament. The second place of Mattersburg and the semi-finals of Reggio Emilia and Pisa will also be remembered! The tournament held in Tournai (Belgium) will also be remembered as the first European Cup with 32 teams.

3. Grand Prix of Vienna
The invitation for the Grand Prix of Vienna is available and by dropping a line to eder@fistf.info Everybody who is interested can request the file.

4. News from Argentina
The players of ASR08 reached the official 1000th match of their history.
Yesterday, Claudio Miscia beat Gustavo Di Giannantonio 3-2 in a friendly match, with other players to say good-bye to Claudio Miscia: he's leaving Argentina after IO Buenos Aires this week-end.

1. Is FISTF growing?
Many people are wondering if the number of FISTF players is growing or not.
Some also say there is a big lack of ambition from FISTF because the numbers could be much higher. The "official" number of FISTF players is 1877. Why 1877? Simply because there are 1877 different players ranked in the different world rankings. OK, I know some people are currently saying we should have much more ambition and try to reach at least the number of 10.000 players but this can be done only step by step and only with the help of the national associations.
One of the keys to develop the number of players is to make sure they enjoy playing in tournaments. Many players have not attended tournaments in the last 24 months because they don't like to compete in tournaments where the level is too high. A solution for this is that national associations should have a wider range of tournaments from the "Grand Prix" to the "Futures".
Of course this is very difficult to do so when the players base in one country is very small.
The other idea is to make sure that more and more countries organize tournaments. The more tournaments there are, the more there are chances players whill show up to compete. Also, the more tournaments there are, the more players will accept to pay a membership fee to their national association.
There is no perfect system to have world rankings but at least there can be some pride for association to organize a few tournaments per season so that the top players can reach the top of the rankings. It's also very nice to read in newspapers that the world rankings are used. It gives more credit to a player to be mentionned with his ranking in the newspapers.
Well, these are a few ideas but it's sure we should definately put more energy to try to organize more and more tournaments and to try to get as many new players as possible. Reaching the number of 3000 players in 2014 shoudl be the goal to reach and we should work all together to achieve this.
For your statistics file, here is the number of ranked players per country (as per October 2009): Italy 500 ; Belgium 242 ; Greece 170 ; Unites States of America 122 ; England 76 ; France 75 ; Spain 68 ; Germany 63 ; Austria
58 ; Argentina 55 ; Portugal 55 ; the Netherlands 49 ; South Africa 45 ; Malta 40 ; Denmark 39 ; Singapore 30 ; Scotland 27 ; Gibraltar 24 ; Cyprus
21 ; Finland 21 ; Canada 14 ; Czech Republic 14 ; Norway 14 ; Wales 14 ; Northern Ireland 13 ; Japan 8 ; Monaco 5 ; Ireland 4 ; Switzerland 4 ; Albania 2 ; Australia 1 ; Brazil 1 ; Hong Kong 1 ; Jamaïca 1 ; Malaysia 1.
Total = 1877.

2. Satellite of Pireus
The winners of the FISTF Satellite in Pireus are as follows:
- Marcos Kapsambelis (Pireas ions) beat Christos Archimandritis (Cosenza) in the Open final (1-0). There were 52 players in Open category;
- Chris Aggelinas (AS Hennuyer) beat Marcos Kapsambelis in the final of the veterans;
- the young Bairas wins the U15 category;
- Nikos Karatarakis wins the U12 section;
- the teams of Pireas Lions beats ITEC Olympia in the team event (3-1).
79 players were competing, which is an excellent number for a Satellite.

3. Open of Buenos Aires
Claudio Miscia repeated the result of IO Mar del Plata: he won the gold medal in the IO Buenos Aires 2009. In the final, he won the shoot-out after a very strong match against Sergio Pelle (Mar del Plata). Fabrizio Bertolini and Patricio Echevarrieta the others semifinalist.
All the results in http://asr08.com.ar/competicion_ioba2009.htm

4. France: Amberny again!
The french association had a national tournament in Montivilliers on sunday. Jean-Marie Amberny (JSC Rochefort) beat Axel Donval (Rochefort TS) in the final. Sébastien Dubuc and Stéphane Pommier reached the semis.
Baptiste Leroux beat Raphaël Pommier in the final of the U15 tournament. In the quarter-finals, the players were Olivier Bastin, Mongi Rouis, Emmanuel Gorgette and Thomas Ponté.

5. Germany: Ruf wins the german cup
Ruf and Rain are the winners of the German Cup 2009 Last weekend the German Cup 2010 took place in Rain. In the final of the individuel competition Alexander Ruf from the host club TSG Rain beated team-mate Arnold Mair 1-0 in the extra-time. The 3rd place reach Frank Hagenkötter (TSL Dortmund). In the team competition the club of Rain played the final against TSL Dortmund 2-2, but won by goals. At that weekend the german association DSTFB elected Janus Gersie as chairman. Gersie already lead DSTFB successfully between
1999 and 2006.

1. Already 100 Satellites
After a difficult time to convince the national associations they could be a good idea, Satellites were introduced by FISTF in 2003. Finally, after six years, it's very positive to see that 100 Satellites have been played.
As a reminder, Satellites are tournaments open for the players who are not in the Top 100 of the Open category. For the other categories, only the top 20 players (or teams) in the world rankings are not allowed to play.
So the 100th Satellite took place this week-end in Singapore and Yusni Den Mulia (240th in the Open ranking) is now in the history of FISTF as the winner of this special event. Den Mulia is one of the 3 players who won more than 2 Satellites. Giorgos Tsombanidis (Greece) won 4 titles while Antoine Dikaios (Belgium) and Yusni Den Mulia (Singapore) won 3 times.
Satellites have been organised in 17 countries and Belgium organized the largest number of Satellites (14) while Greece hosted 12, Portugal 11, Italy & England 10,... Players from 20 countries won Satellites. Belgium & Greece won 12, Portugal & Italy 10, Malta & England 7,... We can really consider Satellites as important events in the FISTF circuit and hopefully the "smaller" tournaments like Challengers and Futures will also become more important in the future.

2. Den Mulia and Rob Smith win in Singapore The Singapore association hosted two tournaments this week-end. Besides the great field of local players, representatives from Hong Kong, Malaysia and Australia were taking part. In the Satellite, Den Mulia confirmed he's still the best local player as he beat Rob Smith (Australia) in the final.
Smith was in a great shape though as he won the other tournament of the week-end, beating Den Mulia in the semi-final and Tan Kok Wee in the final.
This is the first international victory for Australia! Well done to both winners.

3. Grand Prix of Germany
The tournament is taking place this week-end in Berlin. Don't wiss the latest updates at http://home.arcor.de/mtilgner/international/gp09-inv.htm

4. Scottish circuit - 3rd leg

Nine players attended the Dunmurry Open at Kingsway Church and played each other once in a league format. Kenny Beggs finished top with maximum points, while Mark Farrell just pipped Barry Spence for the runner-up spot.
They were both equal on points and goal-difference but Mark scored more goals. The tournament was played in a competitive and sporting manner and was rounded off in festive spirit with everyone receiving seasonal chocolate prizes. Special thanks to the three Southern lads for travelling and to fixture guru, Eoin Adams. Comical moment of the day belonged to Eoin when he got slagged for wearing a Boca Juniors shirt by the Argentinian cleaner, who was a River Plate fan!

The shows is the most popular football show on french-speaking national TV and it will be broadcast from 8.05 pm till 10.00 pm. This is a realyl exceptional chance to promote table football on TV. Well done!

8. SA championships (by Clifford Graaff) The South African Championships were held on 28/29 November 2009. They were the third annual SA Table Football Championships held at Panorama Sports Club. A record field of 35 players flicked off and competed in the following categories: Under 11, Under 13 and Seniors. The Under 11's flicked off on Saturday and 20 youngsters competed in five groups of four players. This competition was held on brand new smaller designed 'FLICK-OFF' pitches (six-a-side). The smaller fields have proved to be a tremendous success with the juniors with a lot more flicking and interaction between the players taking place. Each player received a commemorative soccer ball.
The Janus Gersie-Fair play award was handed to Daygin Prescott for exceptional sportsmanship towards his fellow players and match officials.
The final was contested between good friends, Slade Livesey and Anthony Davis. This is the third consecutive Junior Final between the two friends.
In an extremely tight game Slade lived up to his status as the number one Under 11 player in South Africa and defeated Anthony by one goal to nil.
Both Slade and Anthony are only 8 years old and the potential showed by these players are really great. The senior players will concentrate on all the juniors next season with special emphasis on the latter as SATFA believe these two juniors are future world champions.
On Sunday the Under 13's and Senior Championships were contested with 15 players taking part. Richard Graaff had a clean sweep of victories in this category and was duly crowned Under 13 SA Champion. The Senior category had two groups of 5 players (including juniors Richard Graaff and Brandon Pienaar). In the semi-finals, Harold Silber's hot winning streak of four victories in a row came to an end against the fast improving Fernando Rodrigues who won in a penalty shoot-out after the game ended goalless. The second semi-final also proved to be a very tight game with Clifford Graaff edging out Jason Kennedy by the odd goal. The final pitted African Open Champion, Clifford Graaff against the most improved player of 2009, Fernando Rodrigues. In an action-packed final Clifford Graaff won his second SA title by defeating Fernando by two goals to nil.
In summary SATFA is extremely pleased with the progress made in 2009. Our registered players, who have taken part in any SATFA organized tournament/league is now in excess of 50. Bigger and exciting plans are envisaged for 2010, which will prove to be a watershed year for our local soccer and our ever increasing table football community.

9. Season 8 ends at the South California SC The Southern California Subbuteo Club's Season 8 drew to a close on Friday November 20, 2009. By the last night of play the League Champion, runner up, and Wooden spoon winner was already known.  The only undecided issue was who would finish in third place.  Kevin Nieman had played all of his games and had a two point lead over fourth place Jason Mitchell.  Mitchell had one game left that he had to win to claim third place, he had to play Simon Hutchinson "away".  Simon scored a goal in either half and Jason finished in fourth place. The last game of the season was the League Cup final.  Mitchell faced league champion. Wayne Smith, who was trying to win his second consecutive League Cup.  Smith scored an early goal, and continued to press Mitchell's defense for the rest of the game.  Jason made a number a spectacular saves to deny Wayne a goal.  With just 15 seconds left Smith did finally get his second goal.  For the second season Wayne had done the "double". While Mitchell's was frustrated on the pitch, he was rewarded with "Player of Season 8" accolade. Congratulations to all the
winners:
League Champion :  Wayne Smith
Wooden spoon winner :  Dominic Hutchinson League Cup winner :  Wayne Smith Player of the season :  Jason Mitchell

10. New shop in Australia
Brett Davis, a player from Australia, has started a table football shop where subbuteo fans can buy handpainted teams. The money collected will be used to buy pitches and goals to set up boards and hopefully get the game going again in Australia. The business is "Flick N Good Figures" the website is www.flickngoodfigures.com Bred hand paints all items on the figure and specializes in Bundesliga, Premier League, A league, International and pretty much anything people want painted.

1. Eric Verhagen of course!
Eric Verhagen won the individual Grand Prix of Austria this saturday in Vienna. The Dutchman beat Lucio Canicchio from Italy in the final. Thorsten Korzil and Manfred Pawlica reached the semis. Erich Hinkelmann beat Horst Deimel in the final of the veterans while Alexander Haas beat Czech Republic's Jiri Cevela in U19 final. Top favorite Diego Tagliaferri won the
U15 tournament.
On sunday, the club of Mattersburg managed to put their two teams in the final. Mattersburg A beat Mattersburg B in the final. TSC Royal 78 and TFC Wiener Neustadt lost in the semis. 42 players (including 4 from Hungary) were competing.

2. A nice project for the youth
If italy is the leading nation for the work with the youth, some good things are happening nowadays in Spain. In Malaga, Antonio Miguel Montaño is working with 70 kids (boys and girls) in a school. "With the help of our sponsor Search Web SL, we got enough money to buy 12 tables. Right now, childrens are playing when they have free time between the lessons or after the school time but we hope to find other premises to play outside the school in the future", explains Antonio Miguel Montaño. "With the help of Gibraltar's Alan Crisp and Murcia's Juan Carlos Granados, we have organized training sessions and clinics and we really hope to have some of our kids in the spanish U12 & U15 national teams in the future. Right now we are happy about the results we have collected in tournaments in Madrid, Estepa and Gibraltar. Our goal is to keep our players far away from video games and, more importantly, from the street."
Next sunday the young players from Malaga will take part in the provincial championship in Sevilla where 30 players will compete. This is of course a new record for the tournament!

3. Sad news
Our condelences and prayers go to FISTF Vice-President Thossa Busing's family as Thossa lost his mother early this morning.

4. Satellite in California
There will be a Satellite as part of the Western States Open on March 13 in Los Angeles. More details will hopefully be available next week.

5. If you have a few seconds...
As my dad is nominated as top cycling referee of the year by the website http://www.ciclismo-online.it/sondaggioni-2009x3.htm (5th line of survey, on the right side), you can vote for him if you have a few seconds :-) Thanks a lot!
