Probably the strangest coincidence of this journey is that I some how manage to team up with the stranger that made me aware of the professional foosball tour.
Jim Waterman created the Foosball.com website I found 5-years ago on the internet. I drew Waterman as a partner in a Draw Your Partner (DYP) foosball event.
“Are you THE Jim Waterman from foosball.com?!” I ask my DYP partner.
DYP’s are a foosball event where players toss their money in and randomly assigned a teammate. I draw the guy that informed me through a website that there was a professional circuit of foosball. My mind is blown.
He chuckles. He’s a military man in his day job when not promoting foosball.
We do OK in the tourney. Waterman is a semi-pro. I’m less than an amateur.
We’re realistic. However, we put our best foot forward to see if we can get on a roll.
The serendipity of the situation was definitely a success in itself.
