Hi, I’m Seth Nelson, Owner/Operator of Healthier 4U-Minneapolis vending, and lover of all things foosball. I want to help create a Minnesota State Foosball Tournament for the players, by the players. I’m currently searching for ambassadors who are willing to sponsor and promote the sport we love, in an effort to bring a state tournament back to Minnesota in May 2024 with a $10,000 players purse.

Note: this flyer is not official. Events and payouts are subject to change.

I was able to scout a few locations and gather costs for our tournament. We would need almost 3,000 square feet to host 25 Tornado T-3000 foosball tables for 5 days. This includes set up and take down.

The Minnesota Room (2,812 sq ft) at the Minneapolis Marriott City Center Thursday, May 2nd, 12pm - Monday, May 6th, 10am 2024 for $3,500. This is a prime location downtown Minneapolis.

The DoubleTree by Hilton Minneapolis - Park Place is available Thursday, May 2nd, 12pm - Monday, May 6th, 12pm 2024 for $4,500. This is in St. Louis Park just four miles west of downtown Minneapolis.

Another option available is Grand Casino in Hinckley, MN. Thursday, May 2nd, 12pm - Monday, May 6th, 12pm 2024 for $6,000. The event space is much bigger and it costs more, but the hotel rooms are cheaper. Hinckley is located 80 miles north of Minneapolis.

Another option is the Mermaid Event Center in Mounds View, MN located 13 miles north of Minneapolis. They hosted foosball tournaments here in the late 90's and early 2000's. It's a bowling alley/restaurant with an AmericInn Hotel attached. They have a 5000 sq ft ballroom which can be divided in two. This is an ideal place to grow our tournament and they are available the first weekend of May 2024 for $6000. They also took interest in placing 2 foosball tables where we can host youth tournaments twice a month on Sundays. This could leverage our cost going forward.

Our short-term goal is to raise $6,000 to $8,000 to secure a banquet hall, table rental and merchandise for our tournament. After the campaign, we should have a pretty good idea of attendance. South Dakota State had 120 players in February 2023 with an average cost of $175/player. That’s $21,000. Wisconsin State had over 200 players in March 2023 with an average cost of $170/player. I'm confident Minnesota can get 150 players, but if we pull 200 players it will give us the funds to secure the location and do the tournament again the next year without having to crowdfund.

I’m willing to donate $500 as a corporate sponsor through my vending machine business Healthier 4U-Minneapolis to start things off. I’m hoping our ambassadors, players, and businesses big and small can help us get there.

Corporate Foosball Sponsor ($500) - get your business logo on flyers, t-shirts and table 1 at the 2024 Minnesota State Foosball Championships +1 Players t-shirt + Free Registration ($50) value.

Small Business Foosball Sponsor ($250) - get your business logo on t-shirts and table 1 at the 2024 Minnesota State Foosball Championships +1 Players t-shirt.

Minnesota Foosball Ambassador ($100) - get your signature on table 1 at the 2024 Minnesota State Foosball Championships +1 Players t-shirt.

Foosball Champion ($50) - I won the dyp this week! Let’s make this happen. I will be there!

Foosballer ($25) - I almost won the dyp this week! I will be there.

Foosball Player ($10) - I got my money back playing foosball this week. I plan on attending.

I'm a broke-ass Foosball player ($5), but I plan on attending.

My idea for the prime event is a pro-am bring your partner (byp). An opportunity to bring together players from all skill levels to compete for cash and THE PLAYERS Letterman Jackets.

THE PLAYERS Championship BYP:

Master/Beginner teams

Pro/Rookie teams

Expert/Amateur teams

2/3 Winners Bracket, 2/3 Losers Bracket, win by 2 in the 3rd game cap 8 goals.

Minnesota has been missing from the International Foosball tour for almost two decades. We need your support to kickstart a tournament so we can grow the game of foosball and showcase our talented players against the best in the world. My goal as a promoter is to exceed 200 players so we have the funds to host again year after year. Please join me in supporting a tournament for the players, by the players. THE PLAYERS 2024 Minnesota State Foosball Championships.

Risks and challenges:

If we only raise the minimum goal of $6,000 the promoter is still at risk of losing money. We need to draw a minimum of 150 players to break even.
