Thanks to Jim for having us out this week, despite being busy this time of year with robotics. Scores are up for the week, and the overall standings are still reasonably close, while on the most improved front, Josh continues to hold on to the lead.
Next Monday we’re playing at Luch’s place-have a great week everyone!
Thanks to Nick for hosting us again, especially with what appeared to be a record turnout. 37 players for the evening, but there was still ample space and games for everyone. We also had a drop in visit from TOPL alumni Alexis (FLX), who some of you remember moved off to the UK a few years back. We also had three new members come out last night, so welcome to Ruo and the two Daves!
Scores for this week are up on the PAPA website, and I’ve also changed the link in the top navigation menu to always point to the latest scores. There’s enough old data on there now to keep most improved stats accurate (we’re up to the last three seasons). Remember that if you have any questions about how the new system works, or if you notice something that’s not lining up, don’t hesitate to ask. It looks like Adam and John are now tied for points total and high scores, while Stephane is still hanging onto the lead for Most Improved.
Next week we’re at Andrew’s place-have a great week everyone!
Thanks to everyone for coming out to my place this week! We had a good turnout for the last third of the season, and things are still far from locked. Besides, there’s pinball to be played, and play it we did! As usual, scores are also posted on the new site as well as here. There should be enough data on the papa site so that most improved is accurate for everyone now (at least it matches what’s in the excel sheet now), and you can go back and look at the data for the past few seasons. Starting next season, the papa site is going to be the only place we’ll publish scores, and we’re working on ways to get even more historical data on there.

Which keeps John in the lead for the season, but Adam is catching up:
Thanks to Glen for hosting everyone this week, and for shifting his work schedule so he could still host. Also, thanks to everyone who offered to host at the last minute when it looked like Glen wouldn’t be able to take the week-it’s definitely appreciated. We had a smaller crowd than usual this week because of the weather, but we still had 14 people make the drive in the snow to play pinball. Fortunately, everything had been pretty much cleaned up by the evening, so things weren’t too bad. We had a great time with some of the top games from the Bally/Williams era.
Thanks to Chris F for hosting everyone this week, and for giving everyone a chance to get a Mustang LE into league play. Of course, two league nights in there’s now a precedent for Chris having a new game every time he hosts, so we’ll see whether there’s any changes to the lineup next season. For now though, we have five more weeks to go in the regular season, which now counts for WPPR points, so the final points tally matters more than ever!
High scores this week went to:
Thanks to Luch for hosting everyone again in his now more spacious basement. Expanding into a second room means more space to move, but it also means more space for pins, which I’m sure Mike will be filling in the coming months.
Happy new year to everyone, and welcome back to the second half of the season. Thanks to Andrew for hosting this week-it’s great to have him back as a host, and it was a good chance to play some really well restored games that aren’t as common for the league.
Thanks to Kim for hosting everyone for the last regular TOPL week of the year. We had a group of 20 regulars this week (both old and new members), and had plenty of time to give Kim’s games a workout.
Thanks to Eddie for once again hosting the league this week, and for keeping everyone fed through the night. Also, welcome to Jeff, who came out to his first league night this week, and welcome back to Jennifer, who was in from out of town for her semi-annual drop in league night.
Thanks to Adam for hosting this week, and for the usual food and hospitality. We had another good week with 20 people out, and at 1/3 of the way through the season we’ve had 41 players so far.
