Another record turnout for a location this week, with 33 players crowding into my basement for pinball.  It’s great to see so many people out, and despite the numbers, things still moved pretty well, with only a couple of minor malfunctions in stuck balls and a light bulb coming falling into the trough on Spider-Man and wreaking havoc with the optos in there. 

Also, just a quick reminder to everyone to make sure you sign in when you get to the location for a league night.  The sign in sheet will usually be somewhere obvious, and if you don’t see it, ask Chris, Luch, or Adam.  Making sure to sign yourself in makes things much easier for us when putting groups together, and it means we can get going much faster.  The sheet is ordered by the point total from the last time you were out, so if you have a hard time finding your name, try to remember what your total was the previous week. 

High scores this week went to:

Which makes the high score totals pretty well distributed among a bunch of people, so it’s still a race to catch John.

5 weeks in and we can start tracking most improved.  This is based on a player’s previous two season’s percentages, and you need 5 weeks in a season to have a valid percentage (but 7 to win Most Improved).  So far this season, Andrew has the lead with an impressive 12% improvement, but we’ll see how that holds up over the next 10 weeks:

Here’s the full scores and standings:

Next week we’re back up at Adam’s in Keswick to play his collection of tournament-grade machines.  Have a great week everyone!
