Summer 2018-scores for week 10

Thanks to Kim for hosting this week!  Scores are up on the PAPA site, and Charles and Chris Draper continue to fight for position at the top of the standings, while Draper and Adam Hollander are tied with the handicap taken into consideration.  Also, there does seem to be an issue with some of the most improved percentages, but we’re looking into it. 

We’re back out to Nick’s place next week-have a great week everyone!

Summer 2018-scores for week 8

Thanks to Adam for hosting this week!  Scores are up on the PAPA site, and Charles is holding onto the lead, but Chris Draper is catching up.  They’re also in a dead heat for the Most Improved trophy, so it’ll be interesting to see how the next few weeks play out. 

A reminder that there’s no pinball next Monday because of the long weekend, so have a great Canada Day, and I’ll see everyone at my place on the 9th!

Summer 2018-scores for week 7

Thanks to Jim for hosting this week!  We’re at the half way point in the season now, and Charles is solidifying his season lead.  Scores are up in the usual place. 

If you’re looking for something to do this weekend, Jeff Teolis is running a match play event at the Player One showroom (https://www.facebook.com/events/146251076230233/) on Sunday from 11-8.  If you need details, email him at pinballprofile@gmail.com.  Might be a good chance to check out the games we’ll be playing for our own playoffs in a few weeks. 

Next Monday we’re back up to Adam’s place-hope to see everyone there!

Summer 2018-Scores for week 5

Thanks to the crew at Tilt for hosting us this week!  It was the first time a bunch of us had been to the new location, and it’s a really cool setup.  Highly recommended if you’re in the area!  Scores are up on the PAPA site, including the start of Most Improved tracking. 

We’re at Eddie’s place next week-see everyone there on the 11th!

Summer 2018-Scores for week 4

Thanks to Nick for hosting this week, and for giving everyone a first chance to try Iron Maiden!  Scores are up on the PAPA site

We also did three mystery score giveaways for some shirts.  To win, you had to have a score that ended in the 5 digits closest to the mystery score.  Congrats to John Clegg (8,347,660 for 47811), Stephane (9,715,368 for 15543) and Eddie Setareh (157,980,350 for 78912)-see Newman next week for your prizes. 

Speaking of next week, we’re playing at Tilt next Monday.  Hope to see everyone there!

Welcome to newcomers Kyle, Eddie, and Danny!  We hope you guys had a fun night, and look forward to seeing you throughout the season!

***Change of plans for next Monday: due to a scheduling conflict, we’ll be playing at Luch’s next Monday (May 14th) and at Tilt on June 4th.

ToPL Format changes for the upcoming season!…

After a lot of evaluation and planning, we’re pleased to finally announce updates to the format for the upcoming ToPL season beginning on April 30th!

Responding to feedback from our members, the goal is to make our season, playoffs, and tournament more relevant for our members.  Many expressed that our playoffs were both ‘too much of a grind’, and had no connection to the actual season of play.  We also heard that members preferred their fees to stay with the league rather than fund what is actually an independent tournament.
Here are the highlights of how next season’s playoffs and tournaments are going to work:
ToPL Playoffs
• The new ToPL Season will remain 14 weeks, however, we will now have a true season playoffs on Week 14 (Monday evening) open to all paid ToPL Season members.
• Divisional Seedings:  Players will be automatically seeded into their playoff division (A or B) based on the season standings on Week 14, with half going to each division.
• Playoffs consist of four, single game rounds, with the 4-player groupings being rebalanced after each round.
• In groupings, season rankings determine choice of order of play – highest rank earns 1st choice, and so forth.
Playoff Finals
• After 4 rounds, the top 4 players from each division go into single elimination finals.
• Player 1 plays Player 4, and Player 2 plays Player 3 – the winners and losers of these matches will play each other, respectively, to determine the final top four outcome.
ToPL Seasonal Open Tournaments
• Future Seasonal Open Tournaments organized by ToPL will be financially self sufficient, and will incorporate a variety of tournament formats to keep play fun, fresh, and interesting.
See the updated ToPL Rules for full details.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask!
Don’t miss the opening night of the new season, this coming Monday (April 30th) at Jim’s!
