iRefFoos – Find the Tells Foosball players are constantly searching for tells — the small habits and patterns that reveal how an opponent plays. Until now, discovering those tells relied on instinct and years of experience. iRefFoos changes that. Built by Pro-Master player Eric Dunn, iRefFoos analyzes matches, reveals possession patterns, and lets players instantly review key moments so they can understand what’s really happening on the table. FIND THE TELLS Detailed possession timelines and visual bar charts reveal patterns that are difficult to see during live play. Spot tendencies, passing patterns, and defensive habits players rely on to gain an edge. REVIEW THE MOMENT Record your match and instantly jump to the possessions you want to study — even while the match is still being played. Get the information you need when it matters most. ANALYZE ANY GAME Import match footage and process it with Auto-Timer to generate full possession timelines and statistics — just like a live game. TRAIN THE RIGHT HABITS The Training Center uses structured challenges designed to build consistency, timing, and the habits the best players use to reach the highest levels. Whether you're competing in weekly events, studying tournament footage, or practicing for the next level, iRefFoos helps you see the game differently. Each session begins by choosing how you want to foos: Referee, Practice, Compete, Stream/Share, or Fun Mode — and the app configures itself instantly.
