Season 1 2026

A big thanks to Jim for hosting us for playoffs last night, and to Donna for helping out with the food. It capped off another great season of pinball, with some good friendly competition.

In the A division, Jeff Teolis took home the trophy, as well as a championship bag of bacon bits. Walt was 2nd, and Donna and Mike Faria tied for 3rd.

On the B side, Mario took 1st, with Larry in 2nd, and Mike and Gary tied for 3rd:

The season championship was a tie for only the third time, with Chris and Scott having not just the same adjusted points, but the same total as well, so both names go on the trophy:

And John Z took home most improved:

Next week, we’re starting it all again with a new season kicking off at Maple pinball. Hope to see everyone there!

Season 5 2025

Thanks to Mike for hosting the last playoffs! We were able to have the baseball playoffs on and keep the tournament running, and everyone had a great time. Also, special shout out to Donna for helping out with the food this time around.

In A division, David Cowling took home a back to back playoff championship:

And in B division, Terry took home the trophy:

Evan took home the season champ trophy again, while Donna ended up as Most Improved:

Thanks to everyone who hosted, played, and made this our busiest summer/fall season ever.

Season 4 2025

Thanks to Maple for hosting us last night for the end of another great TOPL season. Despite the heat, we had a good turnout, and a successful tournament. After a hard fought elimination bracket, David Cowling came out on top in the A division finals, with Walt taking 2nd, Jeff 3rd, and Evan 4th:

Jeff did take home some hardware as the season champ though:

In the B division, Noel took the win, with Jimmy, Jim, and Mike rounding out the top four:

Thanks again to everyone who played, hosted, or helped run the league and give a bunch of us something to do on a Monday night. There’s no slowing down though-the new season starts next Monday Aug 18 at Walt’s place, so we’ll see everyone there!

Season 3 2025

The third season of 2025 is in the books. Thanks to Nick for hosting us for playoffs with two new games in the showroom (King Kong and Evil Dead saw a lot of play)!

Walt managed to win both the season champ and most improved trophies this season, so he gets a replay into next season:

But it was Mike Faria’s night, and he managed to go 9-2 to win the finals:

David, Sergio, and Walt rounded out the top 4. In the B division, Jeff took the win, with Mike, Chris N, and Emmet in 2-4:

Thanks to everyone for another great season! We’re starting up again on Monday June 9th at Mike’s place.

Season 2 2025

Another great season completed, and more new names on the trophies! This time around, Sergio took the season:

But he didn’t make it through the 5-way tiebreak for 4th in the A round robin (which we’ve never had before). In the end, Walt carried his top seed from the round robin to a playoff victory:

Laura placed 2nd, Mike Faria 3rd, and Donna 4th. Over in B division, Jim managed to parlay home field advantage into a win:

Scott took 2nd, Chris 3rd, and Myles 4th.

Thanks again to all of our hosts for the season, and to everyone for the fun competition every Monday. We’re back at it next week starting at Walt’s place.

Season 1 2025

Another TOPL season is complete. This one started in 2024, but ended off in 2025, so points count towards this year’s standings. It was another great season, and the caliber of play was really high. Jeff Teolis took the season championship with a commanding lead:

He couldn’t hold on to the lead for the finals though, which meant Evan won his first playoff (on his birthday no less):

Jeff took 2nd, Laura 3rd, and John Z 4th. In the B division, we had more players than we have in several seasons, but Scott managed to take home the trophy:

This might be the first time we’ve ever had a father and son both take home trophies at the same event:

Thanks to all of the hosts and players for making this a successful season, and congratulations to all the winners. We’re back at it next Monday-hope to see everyone out at Walt’s place!

Season 4 2024

Summer has always been a little slower for TOPL with lots of people out on vacation, but we still had a dedicated crew that made it out all summer to finish our fourth season of the year. First off, thanks to Mike for hosting playoffs this season.

The A division finals were closely matched, with one 3 way tiebreaker to make it into the final four. In the end, David Cowling came out on top with a decisive victory on Hobbit, and a close game of Volley. Chris came in 2nd, Laura came in 3rd, and Dave Glen took 4th. This is on top of Laura not only qualifying 1st in the playoffs, but finishing 1st in the regular season, and winning most improved. Congratulations to David and Laura for a great tournament!

In the B division, Andrew took 1st, Scott 2nd, Mike 3rd, and Brian 4th.

And with that, another season is done, but the next one is starting right away. Next Monday Sept 23rd the 5th TOPL season of the year starts at Nick’s place-hope to see everyone there!

Season 3 2024

The seasons come fast and furious now, with our third season under the new format wrapping up last night. Big thanks to Jim for hosting us last night, and keeping everyone cool in his great collection.

Chris and Laura tied for the season championship, and as you can tell they might not want to share the trophy 🙂

Laura also took home most improved, capping off a great season for her, so congratulations Laura!

In the A division finals, Chris came 1st, Myles 2nd, Laura 3rd, and Joe 4th after an amazing qualifying run.

In the B division, Dave Glen took home the new(ish) B trophy, Joey took 2nd, Jim 3rd, and John 4th.

Thanks to everyone for another great season of pinball! Next week we start it all over again at Mike’s place. New members are always welcome, and it’s a great way to play a bunch of pinball every week with some great people.

Season 2 2024

Another season is in the books! Thanks to Nick for hosting us for playoffs last night, and to Myles for dealing with all of the food again. For the A division, John Z ended up winning the finals, with Mike in 2nd, Chris in 3rd, and Myles in 4th. Chris also won the Season Champ trophy, and Myles won Most Improved:

In the B division, Josh took the newly created (and still to be slightly redesigned) B division trophy, with Terry in 2nd, Dave in 3rd, and John W in 4th:

Based on everyone’s feedback, we’re going to keep up with the new season/playoff format for the time being, which means our next season runs from May 6 to Jul 8. Hope to see everyone out at Jim’s place on Monday!

Season 1 2024

Last night we finished off the first season of 2024 under the new format, and it was a huge success. Thanks to the crew at Player One for hosting us! Brian continued to dominate after winning the regular season, and also took a playoff win:

Rounding out the top four were George, Gary and Dave. Speaking of Dave, he also takes home the most improved and handicap trophies:

In the B division David C took first, followed by Terry, Luch, and Max.

Hopefully everyone enjoyed the new season format-we actually had a really solid turnout for the season, and most people that joined played almost every week. The new season starts next Monday March 11 at Nick’s place-hope to see everyone there!
