Fall 2018-Scores for week 7

Thanks to Kim for hosting this week!  Scores are up on the PAPA site, and Mike C and Chris Draper are still fighting it out for the top spot.  Mike has a pretty healthy lead in on the Most Improved side of things, but there’s still a lot of pinball left to play this season. 

We’re at Andy’s place next Monday-have a great week everyone!

Fall 2018-scores for week 6

Thanks to Adam for hosting this week (with a brand new Iron Maiden to boot)!  Scores are up here, and it’s shaping up to be a pretty close race for the season.  Mike Cuzzupe is still out in the lead, but not by a huge margin, so it’s still anyone’s to win. 

For those that didn’t see the sign/donation jar at Adam’s this week, Adam and Denise have a rescue kitten that they’re trying to find a home for.  If you’re interested, you can get in touch with them directly (email me if you need their address).

We’re out at Kim’s place next Monday-have a great week everyone!

Fall 2018-scores for week 5

Thanks to Scott and the rest of the crew at the Pint for getting everything set up for us this week!  The location seems great, and hopefully it helps expand the reach of pinball even further in the city.  Scores are up on the PAPA site, and it’s shaping up to be a close race this season. 

Remember that we still have the shirts available for pre-order, and that you need to order these (and pay for them) in advance. 

Have a great week, and see everyone at Adam’s on Monday!

The latest in ToPL fashion!…

Whether you want to go casual or impress with your Monday best, we’re presenting the new fall ToPL Collection!

Renowned elegance for the distinguished ToPL member, the bowling shirt is inimitable at league nights, tournaments, or international pinball expos.

Crafted from the finest rich, Corinthian polyester, and embroidered with genuine imitation silk-like thread, the generous fit bowling shirts can be ordered for $60

T-shirts are the easiest garment to use to express your personality. This cotton jersey T-shirt plays with the ToPL logo, incorporating it into a strong and decisive statement: PINBALL PLAYER.

A timeless garment symbolic of entire generations and iconic casual styling. This heavyweight cotton jersey T-shirt embodies the ToPL brand’s original attitude: the silk-screened ToPL logo on the front and back means it can be worn either way round (not really).  Order yours at the next league night for $25

We will be taking orders over the next few weeks at the league nights.  Member orders & payments will be collected prior to submitting our order for production.

Fall 2018 – Scores for week 4…

Thanks to Nick for hosting ToPL this week!

Welcome to four new members; Bob, Mike, Paul, and Brian!  We hope you all had a great time, and look forward to seeing you throughout the season!

The scores are up on the PAPA site, but keep in mind that week 4 is the first week of the system taking the three drop weeks into account, so the standings got bounced around.

Everyone have a safe and happy Thanksgiving!  As it’s Thanksgiving, there’s no ToPL next Monday (Oct. 8th), but we’re back at it on the 15th.

Have a great week!

Fall 2018 – Scores for week 3…

Thanks to the Tilt Arcade Bar in Toronto for hosting ToPL this week! This increasing popularity of Tilt is noticeable every time we visit!  It was packed with people and we were happy to welcome 3 new players: Joe, Ezra, and Terry.  We hope you had a great time and look forward to seeing you throughout the season!

The scores are up on the PAPA site, with John Zaharatos pulling into the lead.

We’re out at Nick’s next week on October 1st.  Have a great week!

Fall 2018-Scores for week 2

Thanks to Jim for hosting this week!  Scores are up on the PAPA site, and it’s still early, so there’s not a whole lot to add other than that if the season were decided today, Mike C is ahead after 2 weeks.  There’s still a lot of pinball to play though!

Next week we’re back out in public at Tilt, so if you know someone who hasn’t made it out before, it’s a great location to check out that’s more transit-accessible than most of our locations.  Have a great week everyone!

Fall 2018-Scores for week 1

Welcome to a new TOPL season!  Thanks to Luch for hosting this week!  Scores are up on the PAPA site.  Feedback on the changes we instituted last season has been almost all positive, so we’re planning on doing the same thing this season (including playoffs at P1 week 14-thanks Jerry!).  Just to clarify a couple of things that might not have been messaged really well at the end of the season, WPPR points are based on the entire season (weeks 1-13), as are the Season Champ, Most Improved, and Handicap awards.  Playoffs in week 14 have the playoff champ trophy as well as cash prizes. 

Next week we’re playing at Jim’s place-have a great week everyone!

ToPL Playoff Results!…

The ToPL Playoffs this season were a huge success and we have a lot of people to thank for that!

P1AG Logo1
First off, Jerry Power and Player 1 provided a superb venue for the Toronto Pinball League to hold our season playoffs!  In addition to their showroom and all the machines, they also contributed pizza, wings, bottled water, and a lot of Player 1 swag as giveaways!  Furthermore, on behalf of Player 1, Jerry donated the host fees for the evening back to the league to contribute to the awards that we provide to players!  Thanks so much Jerry and Player 1!

Thanks to Chris Bardon for setting up and running our tournament software and for running our random draws for the prizes provided by our generous sponsors!  Thanks also to Luch and Myles for meeting me early at Player 1 to set up, level, and clean all the machines to ensure they were running tip-top for the tournament!

Finally, thanks to all our great membership for coming out and making our playoffs such a fun finish to our season!  We had 100% of our members come out to playoffs, and we’ve been hearing a lot of really positive feedback on the evening!

Our dinner was catered by Sofra Mediterranean Cuisine of Richmond Hill, and Gino’s Pizza.

Check out our site at topl.ca, and our Pinside page for photos from the playoffs and details about our new season starting on September 10th.

The CNEPC is on at the CNE this weekend (August 24-26), and it’s a really well run tournament that you don’t want to miss!

Looking forward to seeing everyone in September!
