After it was all said and done last night Matt remained at the top of the heap claiming the #1 seed going into next week’s finals! Tom came in a clear second, followed by a three-way tie for 3rd between Dan, Tommy, and Keith who will have to play a 1 ball playoff next week for seeding. They were followed up by Craig and Dan coming in 6th and 7th. At the 8th/9th place, we have another tie between Danielle and Michael who will also need to do a one ball playoff for seeding, feel free to play that one at home guys and let us know the results. Ron, Mike, Travis, Chris, and Terry Schmitt round out the 10th-14th positions. We have 14 players eligible for the finals tournament by meeting the requirement of playing in at least 3 weeks of the season.

Based on the survey tally it seems that one large bracket is preferred so we will be sticking with that format for this season’s finals. We will switch to the multiple brackets  (A & B division) next season to best adjust to the new IFPA results submission requirements.

The above bracket is a preview based on all 14 players showing up next Tuesday, December 12th for the finals tournament, and is subject to change. There is a $10 entry fee for next weeks tournament. The entry fee is used to pay for trophies and prize pool. Last season’s trophies will be presented at the finals as well.

Hope to see everyone turn out for finals next Tuesday and good luck to everyone.

Last reminder that the Tuesday after that will be our Monthly Tournament!

7:30PM @ Main Street Amusements as usual! Last night of the regular season for Fall League, next Tuesday, December 12th is finals night. As I posted yesterday we have options for how we run finals and I sent out a survey yesterday, I will post it below again in case anyone hasn’t seen it yet. As of right now, the vote is 5-3 in favor of splitting finals into A & B divisions. Please remind me at league tonight to discuss this as a group in person as well so I can answer any questions that people have. See everyone tonight!

It is the final night of the regular season for our fall league!  The standings are very tight at this point so we should have an exciting evening. We will draw the game of the week randomly before start tomorrow night. The following Tuesday, December 12th, will be our league finals night! Plan to spend a bit of extra time down there that evening as the finals typically last a bit longer. We can also discuss if you guys would rather have finals as one large bracket or split the finalist in half between an A & B division.

Splitting would likely speed up the finals night, and it increases the WPPR point value of the league season. Keeping it as one bracket has the advantage of anyone could end up winning and we are one large group playing together. I’m fine with whatever people prefer, a survey is posted below to share your opinion if you care at all.

Start marking your calendars as the tournament dates for our monthly 3-strikes have been set for 2018! As always they will still be held on the 3rd Tuesday of the month. We will continue with the start time of 7:30 PM that we started this month.

The dates for our Winter season have also been established. Our Fall season will wrap up on December 12th and we will take about a month off during the holiday season before we start up the Winter season 2018 on January 9th at 7:30 PM. All dates have been submitted to the IFPA and should be approved in the near future,  UPDATE EVERYTHING WAS APPROVED OVER THE WEEKEND! See you all for some pinball in 2018!

Purple indicates league night, Green indicates monthly tournament.

Well here we come approaching the last week of the season and the championship is still up for grabs! We had a relatively small turnout last night due to some work, vacation, and health issues making their way through our league but fun was still had by those in attendance. Below are the standings.

Next’s weeks game of the week will be drawn at the start of the night from games that we have not yet used this season so that there is no unfair advantage given to anyone. Week 8 will wrap up our regular season and on December 12th we will have our finals tournament night! See everyone next week.

In the continued theme of play it before its gone the game of the week will be Star Trek Premium! Same start time as usual 7:30 down at Main Street Amusements, this is week 7 and next week will be our last week of the season followed up by finals on December 12th. Hope to see everyone there tonight.

UPDATE: Sunday’s charity tournament for Henry House raised $434 when coin drop was all totaled up! Again huge thank you to everyone who came and played!

Lafayette had quite the week for competitive pinball as Main Street Amusements hosted their monthly 3-strikes tournament on Tuesday before Thanksgiving and Jerilee’s Pub hosted their first IFPA event with the Henry House 4-Strikes Tournament. The event at MSA saw Larry Schmitt become an IFPA ranked player, and the event at Jerilees added five new players to the IFPA rankings. Also a big thank you to everyone who came out to the Henry House tournament and helped raise funds for that project. With entry fees and donations we raised $290, coin drop will be counted up later today and added to the total for the donation. The full results are below for both events.
