We received a lot of positive feedback on the tournament, and we’re delighted that you enjoyed it!  Thank you also for the tips and suggestions as we strive to always make the ToPL Open better!

Thanks to Luch for handling registrations, and thanks to Chris Bardon for setting up our tournament software and ensure that the tournament ran smoothly!

Thanks again to all our participants for making this such a fun tournament!  Keep an eye out for our announcement of our ToPL Spring Open for 2020!

Thanks to Nick for hosting this week!  We ended up with fewer than usual people for Nick’s place because of the weather, but we still had 21 players, including 4 new members.  Hopefully we see you guys out next week as well!   Also, a special thanks to Jerry at Player One for lending the Willy Wonka machine last night.  It’s always great to get a chance to try out the newest pins.  Scores for this week are on the PAPA site, and despite neither of them being there last night, Charles and John are still 1st and 2nd in the standings.

Also, don’t forget that there are still a couple of spots left for the match play tournament this weekend.  Remember that this is an open event, so anyone can come out.  Details are on the Tournaments page. 

We’re back out to Jim’s place next week, and hopefully we’ve had our Monday night snowstorm for the season.  Have a great week everyone!

Thanks to Scott and The Pint for hosting ToPL this week!

The scores are posted on the PAPA site   Charles and John are tied for the lead, with the top 10 players within 8 points of each other, so it’s a tight race!

Registration for the ToPL Fall MatchPlay Open Tournament is filling up fast with only a few spots left (Entries capped at 32 players max.)  Big WPPR Points!  Check out our tournaments page for more information, and to register before the last spots are gone!

We’re playing at Nick’s in Halton Hills on Monday!  Have a great week everyone!

Thanks to Luch for hosting this week!  Scores are up in the usual place, and Charles has retaken the season lead, although the next 12 players are within 10 points of the lead.  We’ve also got some big numbers on the Most Improved board this season. 

We’ll be playing at the pint next week, so there’s no host fee, but the games are on coin drop.  Have a great week everyone!

Thanks to Andy for hosting this week!  Scores are up on the PAPA site, and Andy continues to have a strong season, maintaining his spot at the top of the standings.  We’ve also got a bunch of players with double digit percentage improvements so far, but we’ll see what holds for the rest of the season.

We also just put up registration for the fall match play tournament at Dave Smith’s place on Nov 17th, and it’s selling out quickly.  Make sure to pre-register if you’re interested in playing. 

Next week we’re back at Luch’s place-have a great week!

The ToPL Thanksgiving Flipper Frenzy was a great success thanks to Jim for hosting us at his incredible collection, and for Myles to make all the effort at organizing and running the tournament!  Myles also prepared all the delicious home made burgers and hot dogs for everyone!

Myles did all of this on his birthday, no less!  Happy Birthday Myles!

This tournament drew lots of new faces from other leagues (Bluffs, City, Hammer City, and Tri-City) and it was great to get together and play with so many fantastic people (36 participants)!

Congratulations to the top 4 finalists!

1st – David Newman
2nd – Jeff Petro
3rd – Jeff Jefford
4th – Terry Jefford

Thanks again to Myles and Jim, and for everyone who came out and made this such a successful and fun tournament!

Thanks to the crew at Tilt for hosting us this week!  Glad to see that location pinball is alive and well in Toronto, since the place was pretty packed last night!  Scores are up on the PAPA site, and congrats to Ryan and Andy for getting perfect scores this week.

Just a reminder that there’s no regular league night next Monday, but that Myles is running a Flip Frenzy tournament at Jim’s place on the 14th starting at 7:30 pm.  The next regular league night is at Andy’s place on the 21st.  Have a great long weekend everyone!

Thanks to Scott for opening up Bluffs this week for us!  Scores are up on the PAPA site, and it looks like Myles and Charles have both won their groups 4 weeks in a row.  One more week and we can also start tracking most improved. 

We’re back downtown at Tilt next Monday, and remember that Mondays are also 2 for 1 cover, so arrive in pairs if you want to take advantage of that.  Remember that public locations have no host fee, although Tilt does have a $5 cover, but the games are on free play.

Thanks to Kim for hosting us this week!  Scores are up on the PAPA site, and it looks like Charles is out to an early lead on the season.

There’s also been a question about the handicap points, and when they kick in.  There’s a section in the rules about the handicap system (3.4), but what’s not in there is that for the lifetime percentage to be considered “valid”, we need a minimum of 15 scores.  Once we have that, the last 90 scores are used to calculate the handicap.  I’ve updated the rules to make this clearer.

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