Thanks to Adam and Denise for having everyone over again this week and keeping everyone fed for the evening. A great collection of games, with a lot of unique titles we don’t see anywhere else. This week also saw the return of some of the original TOPL members, with Tom and Jennifer dropping by while they were in town. Glad you guys could make it out last night! This was also the last league night before the PAPA world championships, so good luck to those that are heading down to compete! There should be a good sized contingent of TOPL members playing, and live results will be up on papa.org through the weekend. Good luck to the crew making the trip-throw a comment up on topl.ca to let us know if you’re heading down so we know who to look for in the standings!
High scores this week go to:
| 8/11/2014 | LES-Les | Radical | 15,211,250 |
| 8/11/2014 | LES-Les | Strikes & Spares | 767,700 |
| 8/11/2014 | A B-Adam | Shadow | 697,976,180 |
| 8/11/2014 | A B-Adam | Godzilla | 162,698,990 |
| 8/11/2014 | LES-Les | Centaur | 1,198,350 |
| 8/11/2014 | DJL-John | Congo | 749,527,750 |
Which pulls Adam closer to John in the high scores race for the season. It’s still possible for someone else to catch up though (Les?), with 6 more weeks to play.

Next week there’s no regular season pinball because of PAPA, but Chris F is hosting a fun night at his place to give everyone a chance to check out the new location, and to hang out and play pinball. Regular season play resumes in 2 weeks back at Nick’s.
