Fall 2019-Scores for week 3

Thanks to Kim for hosting us this week!  Scores are up on the PAPA site, and it looks like Charles is out to an early lead on the season.

There’s also been a question about the handicap points, and when they kick in.  There’s a section in the rules about the handicap system (3.4), but what’s not in there is that for the lifetime percentage to be considered “valid”, we need a minimum of 15 scores.  Once we have that, the last 90 scores are used to calculate the handicap.  I’ve updated the rules to make this clearer.

We’re at Bluffs next week-have a great week everyone!

Fall 2019-scores for week 1

Thanks to Nick for hosting the season opener last night!  We had a huge turnout this week, with 5 new people coming out for their first league night.  Fortunately, Nick’s awesome collection was up to the challenge, and a special thanks goes out to Player One for lending out their Jurassic Park pro for the evening (which certainly got a lot of use through the evening).  Scores are up on the PAPA site, and both Dave and Kirk ended up with perfect 28s this week. 

We’re out to Jim’s place next Monday, and hopefully we can keep the numbers up for the whole season.  Have a great week everyone!

Summer 2019-scores for week 13

Thanks to Jim for hosting the final regular season night of the year!  Scores are up on the PAPA site, and John has returned to the top of the league standings with a 28 in the final week.  John wins a free entry into next season, as well as taking home the season champ trophy.  Jason Gillard also takes home the handicap trophy, as well as a replay for next season.  Finally, with an impressive 15% improvement, Nick Fattore takes home the Most improved trophy, as well as a free entry into next season.  Congratulations to all the winners, and thanks to everyone for making this a great TOPL season!

Next Monday is our end of season playoff tournament at Luch’s place, and it’s open to everyone who’s paid their league fees for this season.  Doors open at 6, and we’re aiming to have food there for 6:30.  We’re aiming to start the match play rounds by 7:30, and as in previous seasons, we’re going to be doing top 16 in A, and everyone else in B.  4 rounds of Swiss format match play to sort out the strongest players, and then a single elimination bracket for the top 4 on each side.  Should be a good time-hope to see everyone there!

Summer 2019-Scores for week 12

Thanks to Andy for hosting this week!  Scores are up on the PAPA site, and it looks like John has the season tied up at this point.  Nick is sitting at over 17% for most improved right now, and Jason is currently leading the handicapped race. 

We’re back to Jim’s next week to finish out the regular season, and then playoffs are at Luch’s place the following Monday.  I’m also working on filling the the calendar for the fall, so keep an eye out for dates-we’ll be back to play more right after Labour day!

Summer 2019-scores for week 11

Thanks to Kim for hosting this week!  Scores are up on the PAPA site, and it looks like a 2 way race between John and Charles for the season championship.  Only 2 more regular weeks to go in the season, followed by the playoffs on the 26th at Luch’s place. 

There’s no pinball next Monday because of the civic holiday, so have a great long weekend, and good luck to all those going to Pinburgh!  We’re back at Andy’s place on the 12th. 

Summer 2019-scores for week 6

Thanks to Nick for hosting us this week!  Scores are up on the PAPA site, and while Charles is still in the lead for the season, it’s still a reasonably close race for the season lead.  We’ve also got several players with double digit percentage improvements for the season at this point, but we’ll see how that holds.

We’re downtown at the Pint next Monday.  Have a great week everyone!
