You’d be forgiven for thinking that foosball is just a silly game for college kids with too much time on their hands, but it’s actually a silly game for adults who work at technology start-ups, too. Microsoft Vancouver invited local tech companies to compete in their first annual Tech Foosball Championship recently, and the result is what seems to have been an incredibly fun day where like-minded people could get together, put on ridiculous mascot costumes, play foosball, and just have a good time.

The tournament’s highlights were put up on YouTube for those interesting in seeing what the tournament was like. Fans of Microsoft Vancouver, fans of foosball, and fans of the nebulous concept of “fun” should all take a few minutes to watch. The winners of the tournament (Spoiler: the winners were fromGlobal Relay, a communications company) got themselves a trophy to take home, along with the ever-important bragging rights going into next year’s tournament.

No ground-breaking news or serious events to analyze here–just a reminder that Microsoft and all of the other tech geeks out there running businesses still like to have fun every now and again. Here’s hoping that the 33 tech companies that took part in the tournament all have a fruitful future ahead of them.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time).

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
