Thanks to Adam for hosting this week, and for getting the scores up and doing the groups after I couldn’t make it last night. Results are here, and with 3 weeks left, it’s going to be hard to catch Adam for the season points total. On the most improved front, Ian is holding on to the lead, but Barry, Josh, and Julian are all close behind.
Next Monday we’re at Kim’s-have a great week everyone!
Thanks to Nick for hosting again this week! Scores are up in the usual place, and while Adam has pulled a little further ahead in the total standings, we now have 4 players in double digits for most improved, so that is likely to come right down to the wire. Next Monday we’re at Adam’s place-have a great week, and see everyone there!
Scores for this week are up on the PAPA site, and as we head into the last 5 weeks of the season, Ian has pulled into the lead for most improved, with Barry and Josh both in double digits. The overall standings haven’t moved much, but it’s still looking competitive for the season standings, and Barry and Jack are catching up to Adam for high scores. We’re at Nick’s next Monday, so have a great week, and if you’re still looking for more pinball, don’t forget about Walt’s Pinball for Change event this weekend. Even if you can’t make it, he’s got some great raffle prizes available, with the money going to a great cause, so check out the website, and play some pinball for a good cause.
Thanks to Scott for opening up his warehouse for us this week, and giving us our third new location this season. It was great to play some games that aren’t as common in other host locations, and it’ll be good to have another ever-changing lineup to add to the host rotation. Now that everyone has been there once, it should be easier to find next time too. Scores for the week are up on the PAPA site.
We’ve also got playoffs booked for April 24 at Pete’s place out in Janetville. It’s a little further than we’d usually book for a regular league night, but for a weekend it’s much more reasonable, and it’s a chance to play at another new, large location that not everyone has made it to. It should be a great time-for those that haven’t been to playoffs before, it’s a full day match play tournament, so you’re guaranteed to play at least 20 rounds of pinball if you show up. Entry is included with league memberships, so if you’ve paid for the season, all you’re on the hook for is the host fee. If non-members want to enter, they’re welcome too. Thanks in advance to Pete and Ann for hosting!
Next week we’re back out at my place in Mississauga-have a great week everyone!
2016 Marks the 20th anniversary of TOPL and to mark the occasion we would like to get new shirts made up with a variant of our logo to help commemorate the occasion!
The problem is the TOPL leadership team has nary an artist bone in our combined bodies.
So we are reaching out to the membership to see if an artist among us would help us come up with a variant on the TOPL logo to help celebrate the 20th anniversary of TOPL!
Compensation wise we don’t have allot in the way of budget (as you can tell from our ledger) to put toward actual costs that are associated with this type of work, but that being said we are willing to offer up Free league fees for X (X to be worked out with whoever wants to take on this task) number of seasons in order to attempt to compensate you for your work.
If you want to help the league out and take on this task you can email me directly at adam.becker@changepoint.com or just talk to me in person at league.
Thanks for the consideration
Chris, Mike and Adam
As always thanks to Andrew for opening his home and allowing us to play his collection of machines and providing food and drink for the night!
Scores can be found in the usual spot

The season race is still very tight half more than half way through the season!
Ian still has the lead in the most improved category, we will see if he can hold onto it.
There is no league this Monday on account of Family Day, so enjoy the long weekend! We’ll see everyone on the Feb 22nd at another new location for TOPL, Scott has opened a warehouse location without about 20 some off games, should be interesting!
Hey everyone, as you know, we’re taking Feb 15 off for Family Day, but if you’re still looking for some pinball, Eddie D’Orazio, who runs the Durham League, is hosting a tournament at Todd’s place. From Eddie:
Todd is hosting for DRAPL on family day.
Monday February 15th 2016. League play starts at 7pm. 60 games.
As he has an impressive line up I thought we would open the doors to our friends at TOPL.
Game line-up:
The address is 1223 Simcoe st south I have parking in the driveway for 6 cars.There is no parking on my street but there are side streets around that can be used.
$10 dollars
If you’re interested, email Eddie at eddie.dorazio@structuredss.com if you want to attend.
Thanks to Luch for hosting this week in the basement that keeps expanding, but somehow still has a pool table in it. Scores are up on the PAPA site, and the standings are still pretty close. Adam, Josh, Jack, Steve, and Mike are all between 50 and 56 points, which is a gap that can definitely be made up in the second half of the season, so things are far from decided. On the most improved side of things, Ian has pulled ahead of Josh with a strong 16% jump.
Next week we’re at Andrew’s place in Vaughan. Also, the calendar for the rest of the season is up except for the playoffs, which will be on Apr 24. We’re just working on a location now, so as soon as we have confirmation, that’ll be on the Yahoo and Facebook calendars. Have a great week everyone!
Thanks to Adam for hosting us again this week! The weather meant that turnout was down a little from last week, but still a good number of people to make the drive up to Keswick. Results are up on the PAPA site, and now that we’re 5 weeks in, the most improved stats are starting to come online. As it stands now, Josh is looking to be the man to beat, but it’s still early going, so lots can happen in the next 9 weeks of play.
Next Monday we’re out at Jim’s place-have a great week everyone!
Four weeks into a new season, and we have a second new host to add to the TOPL rotation. We had a great night at Josh’s place this week, and got to play a couple of unique games to the league, so a huge thanks to Josh for having us over. Scores for this week are up on the PAPA site. At this point, keep in mind that the new software is more aggressive about the three dropped weeks (in that it’ll drop them right at the beginning of the season), which is why the “adjusted points” are basically only your best week now. The totals are there though, and the adjusted scores will start to become much more meaningful after a couple more weeks. Next week we’ll also be able to start tracking Most Improved.
See everyone at Adam’s next week!
