Assembly Tips Make sure you understand the following tips before you begin to assemble your soccer table. [. . . ] We recommend building the table on the box top to protect the parts during assembly. Place one side panel P1 UPSIDE DOWN with the finished side facing out as shown in FIGURE 1. The ball entry hole will be closest to the floor. Place one rod washer H10 and one rod bushing H11 on each end of the rod. Next, align the rods as shown in FIGURE 1. Please note the location of the hole that is near one end of each rod. There will be four handles on each side of the table. It is critical that you set the rods as shown below so the table will be correct when flipped over. TABLE SOCCER Table soccer is also called "foosball. " It can be played by two teams of four players each or by two individuals: The Object of the Game To be the first team (or player) to score a predetermined number of points or to score the most points in given amount of time. Serving The server rolls the ball through the serving hole to start the game, after a point is scored, or after a ball leaves the table. The server can spin the ball to influence the serve, but the ball must be struck by one of the serving team's (or server's) player figures. Once the ball is in play, it remains in play until it is hit off the table, a dead ball is declared, time out is called, or a point is scored. Passing If a ball is pinned on the 5-man rod, it cannot be passed to the 3-man rod of the same team without touching at least two player figures as it is being passed. Scoring When a ball enters the opposing team's goal, a point is scored. If the ball enters the goal, but bounces back onto the playing surface or leaves the table, it still counts as a goal. Spinning Rods Spinning the rods is illegal. Ball Off the Table If the ball leaves the playing surface and strikes any object that is not part of the table, it is declared "off the table" and should be put back into play by a serve from the team (or player) that originally served that ball. If the ball rolls into the serving cup and then returns to the playing surface, it is still considered "in play. " Figure 1 Dead Ball If a ball has completely stopped its motion and cannot be reached by any player figure, it is declared a "dead ball. " If the ball is declared dead between the goal and the 2-man rod, it should be put back into play by placing it in nearest corner and releasing it. If the ball is declared dead anywhere else on the playing surface, it should be put back into play by a serve from the team that originally served the ball. If a ball is spinning in place, it is not considered a dead ball. CAUTION: Please set the rods as shown noting the location of the hole / handle end. 6 © 2004 Escalade Sports 11 For Customer Service Call 1-866-556-2759 9.
