The Office Foosball Table Revived

October 01, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Technology News
New York, NY October 1, 2006 – After taking a big hit in the wake of the dot com bubble, the lunchroom foosball table is back in play and coming on strong. The newly launched FoosballRankings.com heats up competition for foosers around the globe and spawns a new level of lunchroom foosball fun. From the US to New Zealand, players are having fun keeping score, tracking game history, measuring personal improvement and calculating real-time rankings for free with this easy online tool.

“I never imagined how many company teams would be signing up,” said Pritesh Damani, the creator of FoosballRankings.com. “I guess it makes sense, especially for IT companies, where programmers spend long hours.” A game or two of foosball fits right in and keeps the energy level up and allows them to have some fun in the wee hours of the night.

Damani works as a technical architect for a Manhattan software company, so he is happy to see that his fellow programmers around the globe are having some late night foosball fun as well. He is constantly adding new features and tweaking the website to appeal to his users and build a sense of community among players across the globe. “I didn’t want it to be another community website or paid internet service,” said Damani, “I wanted it to be a free and useful resource that foosball players could trust for reliable game tracking and statistics.”

The latest feature on the website shows the last games played and the comments players made on the game. “Everyone in my office is constantly checking the site to see the comments others are making,” said Damani. “We really get a kick out of reading the hilarious come-back talk and other comments, knowing just what is going on in their mind when they lost a close game or got creamed in a shut-out.”
