 Dear Presidents & Friends

 Forum

For a number of years, the FISTF forum went out of its original intentions. That to discuss table football matters. Sometimes, unfortunately it ended up the coliseum of arguments and personal discussions with people attacking each other.

In order to reflect that our sports is practised by mature people, truly sport lovers, the FISTF forum is to be given a facelift in and the moderation of this forum will be controlled in order to leave space for sports discussions and generate ideas for the associations, clubs and individuals members. Our forum must reflect mature discussion on important topics in order to promote this sport, diffuse this sports among youths and improve the sports itself.

We understand that for some officials, the forum was the way of communication. This Board believes that a more mature discussion is important. A professional attitude is today a must in our sport so instead of closing a window, we are opening a new one and anybody wishing to ask something officially has to go through the right channels. Players should refer to their clubs and national federations and the latter in any case can refer to the FISTF.

I would like to thank the people who contributed to the FISTF forum which is on its way out. I would like also, to add my thanks to those working on the new style of discussion and I am happy to pronounce that a new forum will be available for all of you as from Monday 12th April 2010, on www.fistf.info .

 Truly in Sports
