Testing Ads
After 8 years of running a free service, we are experimenting with high-quality advertisements on our site. Please bear with us as we try out a few ideas. This is in no means an indication that we are "selling out". We will make every effort to integrate any ads in a way that will keep from changing our users' experience on our site. The most prominent placements will be on the most expensive areas of our site -- e.g., the video gallery. Just so everyone understands, this site is very expensive to operate and this is one way we can offset those costs.

The IFPA was recently introduced and is just beginning to ramp up to full operation. The official start date is January 1, 2002. There is a preliminary period through the end of the year whereby nominations and elections will be held. These are to be done by the initial membership, formed from registrants at the World Footbag Championships last summer, who are now eligible to nominate and vote on directors for the first operating year. Check out the IFPA's website for more information: ifpa.footbag.org.

!! Wham-O Says "No" To Footbag
In a stunning announcement today, Scott Masline, VP of Marketing for Wham-O (makers of Hacky Sack), stated that Wham-O would not support the World Footbag Championships this year -- not even with product. Masline, who declined to speak directly to us, would only say that because they don't make professional footbags, they weren't interested in a professional footbag event. If you feel as we did that this is bad business for Wham-O, please e-mail Scott directly at masline.s@wham-o.com and cc his boss, Mojde Esfandiari, at esfandiari.m@wham-o.com.
