Established in a dimly lit basement, the Pointless Committee of Foosball League Governance exists solely to create an endless series of byzantine rules governing the game of foosball.
Our mission is to codify the most obtuse and arcane rules possible, ensuring that every match will always end in a 4-3 score with the scorekeepers' favorite team winning.
Meet our esteemed members: Meet the Team and learn about their tireless efforts to create a never-ending cycle of frustration and disappointment among the foosball community.
Rule 1: The foosball table shall be placed exactly 47.5 degrees off the optimal angle, as measured by the committee's chief angle-measurer.
Rule 2: Players are only allowed to wear socks with exactly 17 tiny bells sewn onto them, no more, no less.
Rule 3: All matches shall be played in the presence of exactly 3 cats, which shall be treated as neutral third-party observers.
And many more, listed here.
Minutes of our most recent meeting, where we spent 4 hours arguing over whether the optimal number of bell-sleeves on a foosball player's sock is indeed 17.
Quorum: 2 members present, 1 member present via video conference, 1 member present via carrier pigeon.
Decisions reached: Resolutions 1-5, with a 5-0 vote, except for Resolution 3, which was tabled by a 3-3 tie.
We have made the decision to make all decisions more difficult and confusing.
Implementation of new rule 17.5, requiring players to wear a minimum of 3 tiny bells on their socks, is imminent.
Meet our newly appointed Bell-Sock Inspector, tasked with policing these new regulations.
We are proud to introduce:
Chairman: Bob McSocks, expert in all things foosball and sock-related.
Bell-Sock Inspector: Jane Bellinator, fierce enforcer of bell-sleeve regulations.
Chief Angle-Measurer: Steve Measurer, expert in measuring angles and making things difficult.
Awards for outstanding service to the committee.
We proudly present the Golden Foosball Trophy for outstanding contributions to the committee, given to our esteemed member, Bob McSocks.
Also, the Golden Bell-Sock for Best Sock-Design, awarded to our own Steve Measurer for his innovative use of exactly 7 bells on his sock.
