Welcome to the foosobsplus wiki!

The following code scheme will allow you to record every possession in a game by just learning what each position in the code designates and learning only a handful of codes. Using these codes, the score and timers can be automatically maintained throughout the match. Each position in the code has from 2 to 10 possible mostly intuitive values. Below is the breakdown of the code.

1st position - team: which team has the ball.

• y - yellow team
• b - black team
• x - command trigger (see below for list of commands)

2nd position - rod: where is the ball:

• 2 - 2 bar or 3 bar goalie rod. These rods are treated as one rod.
• 3 - 3 bar forward rod.
• 5 - 5 bar forward rod.
• g - goal (someone scored)
• o - off table
• d - dead ball

3rd position - action: how did the ball get here:

• c - clear
• p - pass
• s - shot
• d - drop (serving ball after a score or being knocked off the table or after time out called)
• t - time out
• r - reset
• w - reset warning
• x - penalty (see 4th position for penalty modifiers)
• y - ball placement after a technical foul shot has been taken
• e - error (turnover)

4th position - detail: provides more detail for the action if needed.

• b - break - used with pass or shot to designate that the attempt was successful, but only because of a lucky break
• f - stuff - used with shot or pass to indicate shot/pass was stuffed into shooters/passers goal (y3p, ygsf)
• w - 3 walls 5 bar violation - used with 3rd position set to x
• s - spin violation - used with 3rd position set to x
• j - jarring violation - used with 3rd position set to x
• d - distraction - used with 3rd position set to x
• t - too many time outs - used with 3rd position set to x
• p - illegal pass - used with 3rd position set to x
• x - technical foul - used with 3rd position set to x
• r - ready protocol violation - used with 3rd position set to x
• o - other violation - future rules or ones just overlooked - used with 3rd position set to

Examples (this is laid out in the form of an actual game taking place):

• y5d - ball is on the 5 bar of the yellow team who "has the drop" either due to winning the coin toss, ball off the table, or oppenent scored.
• y5d or b5d will always be how a new point, game, and match start out.
• y3p - ball is passed to the 3 bar
• bgs - ball shot into black team's goal (score y=1, b=0)
• b5d - now black team has ball on the 5 from the drop.
• y5xw - ball on yellow 5 man because black team hit 3 walls on their 5 bar possession.
• y3p - ball successfully passed from 5 bar to 3 bar.
• y2s - ball was shot, but missed and landed on yellow 2 bar.
• y5p - ball passed to yellow 5 bar successfully.
• ygp - yellow tried to pass to 3 but was blocked into their own goal (score y=1, b=1)
• y5d - yellow has ball on 5 bar after black scored.
• y5t - yellow called time out, ball still on the 5 bar
• y5d - yellow starts play again from 5 bar
• b3p - pass to 3 bar successful
• b3r - yellow blocking agressively and reset is called
• ygs - ball shot into yellow goal (score y=1, b=2)
