League at MSA 7:30 tonight! 

Hey everyone, email just went out this morning inviting you to participate in the IFPA State Championship Series for Indiana. Please respond to the email ASAP to let me know if you plan to attend so that we can get our bracket of 16 filled out and know who is doing battle.

The event will again be held at Main Street Amusements this year. Doors will open for practice at 11 AM with the tournament starting at 12 PM sharp. Rules for the event are posted HERE, please read the rules if you plan to attend the event. No physical changes will be made to the machines at Main Street Amusements for the tournament so feel free to get down there and practice as much as you want over the next month. If you have any further questions please let me know.

Finals for Selfie League from December take place tonight at MSA. I heard back from the IFPA and since the finals takes place in 2017 it will be scored under the new rules and applied to IFPA SCS 2017 standings meaning it’s officially the first tournament of the year!

Since the rule changes no longer allow selfie leagues to use the qualifying towards scoring as they are not directly supervised I propose that we now change the finals format to playing 4 games instead of 3 games. This will increase the value of the monthly finals event from 6 games to 8 games. I don’t know that it will make a huge difference in overall points, but figured it can’t hurt. Anyway we can discuss before finals tonight to see if everyone is on board.

Final standings are below. 

Slow start to the new year, but next week I think we should have attendance back up! Also the two newest games to MSA are featured in league next week so get on down before next Tuesday to score a few practice attempts on Cybernaut and Laser Cue!

Here are the results from last night as well as the overall league standings after 8 weeks! 

Here are the games for week 9 Cybernaut, Laser Cue, Star Trek, Spanish Eyes, and Transformers.

Welcome to a new year! Hope everyone had a good holiday season, and is ready to come back tonight for some league play. Games this week are fire, Game of Thrones, Harlem Globetrotters, Medieval Madness, and Metallica. Same start time as always so be there ready to play by 7:30.

Here are the standings after week 7. Only three weeks left total before our league finals.

SELFIE LEAGUE GAMES JANUARY 2017

Selfie League games for January are Cybernaut, Laser Cue, Harlem Globetrotters, Creature from the Black Lagoon, and Star Trek Premium!

Also finals for December Selfie League are this Wednesday at 7:30 PM. Due to the fact that The Big Lebowski was not available for more than half the month the scores from that game were not allowed to be used in qualifying. Below are the final standings as a result of that. I also believe Matt and Keith have both said they cannot attend finals already so at most we have 7 people coming. I’m also not certain if this tournament result counts towards 2016 IFPA SCS standings, or if it will be the first of 2017 since finals are being held in that year. I have contacted the IFPA for clarification. I also have some ideas for 2017 selfie league scoring that I want to discuss with everyone to get some input so I’ll plan on doing that at league tonight. See everyone there!

Tomorrow night feel free to stop by!

It’s that time of the month again. 8:00 PM at Main Street Amusements, $5 gets you into the tournament, and placing in the top 4 will get you some prize $$$$. It is the last IFPA tournament of the year at MSA and will solidify the state rankings heading into the championships that are about 7-8 weeks away. See you all there!

Despite the cold and shitty weather, game malfunctions, and middle of the night hand crafted trophies yesterday’s tournament was still a pretty huge success. Congrats to Tom Vandenberg for winning the “Obviously You’re Not a Golfer” PinGolf Open taking down #17 in the world Jason Werdrick in the finals, with Matt Peace and Bob Twichell finishing tied for 3rd!

The Lebowski Launch was able to take off due to some game issues, so we moved the launch over to a Ghostbusters Premium Launch! Dan Isaacson rode the perfect blend of White Russians into the finals and continued the success for the Lafayette Pinball League players taking down Jason again in the finals for the Ghostbusters Launch Tournament and claiming the prize of the Ringer with dirty whites! Jason finished second and took home the bowling trophy topper bottle opener. Tommy Skinner finished in 3rd winning the Folgers coffee can of Donny’s ashes, and in 4th place was Stuart Nyswonger taking home some Creedence Clearwater Revival tapes from the Dude’s car. Photo unavailable do to complete and utter lack of organization on Tommy’s part at the end of the day.

Highlight of the day was Bob Twichell’s hole in one by reaching Warp 9.9 on Star Trek Premium in the semi-finals! I wish I had been smart enough to record it as it was happening, but regardless it was awesome.

Thanks to everyone who braved the harsh weather and made it out to the tournament!

Games this week are Big Indian, Family Guy, Tri-Zone, Tron LE, and Twilight Zone!

Main Street Amusements at 7:30 PM! See you all there, oh and remember that Family Guy is in selfie league this month so go ahead and play those extra balls!

So 1st place qualifier Matt can’t attend tonight so everyone is moving up at least 1 sport already. A group finals should be Tommy, Keith, Tom, and Dan St. John.

B Group finals should be Kerri, Craig, Ron,  and Joe. Anyone who can’t show up from there players below get moved up so Terry, Christ, Dan I. and Darcy would be the next subs, followed up by Nick.
