Thanks to Jim for hosting us this week!  Scores are up on the PAPA website, and it’s looking to be another competitive season even only 3 weeks in. 

We’re at Nick’s place next week-see everyone there!

Thanks to Walt for hosting us at Bluffs this week!  Scores are up on the PAPA site as usual.  It was also great to see some more new members this week-hopefully everyone keeps coming out for the rest of the season. 

Next week we’re out at Jim’s place, and if you haven’t been, it is certainly worth the drive west.  Have a great week everyone!

Welcome to another TOPL season!  Thanks to Luch for hosting the opener, and welcome to the three new members we had out this week.  Scores are up on the PAPA site.

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

ToPL Playoffs at the Player One Showroom!

Thank you to all of our great ToPL Members for coming out and making our season and playoffs such a success! Big thanks to Jerry Power and Player One for not only hosting us with a lot of great new games to play, but also for contributing a pizza and a lot of great prizes! Jerry and Player One have gone above and beyond for us! Thanks also to Myles, Jason, Chris Draper, Andy McNab, Charles, John Clegg, Luch and others that came early and helped set up games, computers, food and seating!

Our dinner was catered by Sofra Mediterranean Cuisine  of Richmond Hill. They did a great job for us!

Running the tournament software for the first time on your own really makes you appreciate those who normally take care of that element of the Playoffs, so as he was unable to attend, Chris Bardon was truly missed – and thank you for getting it mostly set up for us! While the tournament got off to a slower start as we were trying to figure out the software, we gained our footing and things went quite smoothly.

We’ve noted some areas for improvement in future playoffs, such as minimizing 3-player groupings, having A and B banks of pins, and having top seed order selection.

Congratulations to our ‘A’ Division finalists!

1st place: Steven Machado
2nd place: Mike Cuzzupe
3rd place: John Zaharatos
4th place: Andrew Aiken

Congratulations to our ‘B’ Division finalists!

1st place: Terry Melnyk
2nd place: Victor Vetro
3rd place: Josh Zilberberg
4th place: Kim Darowski

Steve really had his focus and managed to win the season and the playoffs! Congratulations Steve!

On behalf of the leadership of the Toronto Pinball League, I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

We look forward to seeing you all next season starting on January 7th at Luch’s!

David Newman
President – Toronto Pinball League

First off, thanks to Nick for hosting this week, and also thanks to Jerry and Player1 for the loan of the Beatles game for the night.  Scores for the week are up on the PAPA site, and I had to double check the math, but Steve Machado is the season champ!  Congratulations to Steve, who won the season despite missing 2 weeks mid-season.  Mike Cuzzupe picked up the Handicap award with a pretty decisive lead, and also the Most Improved trophy with an impressive 15.9% bump over previous seasons.  Steve and Mike both earn replays into next season!

Next week is our playoffs tournament at Player One.  Doors open at 6, and there’ll be food out by 6:30, so no need to go for dinner beforehand.  The playoff tournament will start at 7:30.  Hope everyone can make it!

Thanks to Kim for hosting this week!  Scores are up on the PAPA site, and Chris Draper is still leading the season, with Mike Cuzzupe in both the handicap and most improved lead.  One more regular season week left.

We’re at Nick’s next week to wrap up the regular season, and then out at Player One the week after for playoffs.  Just a reminder for anyone that has trophies-please bring them to Nick’s place next week if you can, so we can get the new plaques ordered.

Thanks to Jim for hosting this week! Scores are up on the PAPA site, and Chris Draper looks poised to win the season as long as he can keep dominating for the last two weeks.

We’re playing at Kim’s next Monday-have a great weekend everyone!

Thanks to Walt for opening up Bluffs for us this week!  Scores are up on the PAPA site, and Chris Draper is still in the lead for the season, but Mike Cuzzupe has taken the lead on Most Improved. 

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

Thanks to Luch for hosting this week!  Scores are up on the PAPA site, and Chris Draper has managed to pull out into the lead this week.  Mike Cuzzupe is holding on to most improved though. 

Next week we’re out at Bluffs, where there’s a whole new batch of games after most of the bluffs games ended up at the Pint.  Have a great week!
