Due to their actions... and their 16+ hour, deafening silence since, I hereby demand the resignations of Adam Becker, Josh Sharpe, and Zach Sharpe from the IFPA.
If they refuse to step aside, then it's time to consider a breakaway organization. 1/

An IFPA event became the center of a major controversy last weekend after a venue manager forcibly removed a trans woman from the women’s restroom and the TD allowed the event to proceed without interruption. The IFPA’s response has now created more controversy.

The "first draft" of the Alternate Pinball Ranking System is complete. There are still some things to be addressed like leagues, but let's call this V 0.7 for now. Feedback is always welcome! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

If the IFPA wants to make a powerful statement, they should give this tournament a 0% TGP rating. Not only did the TD fail in addressing the incident, but most everyone else continued playing as if nothing happened. Therefore, all should be punished.
After today's multiple transphobic incidents, I'm not playing in any OBX pinball tournaments.
I hope the tournament becomes nearly worthless in WPPR points.
I'm impressed how at least some of the community is coming together to make a better alternative happen next year

I now have a Pindigo account, gameboyf9, for those who are interested!
There's a common Gottlieb phrase: "It's more fun to compete!" For me, recently, it's been more fun playing against myself and trying to get as high of a score as possible and submitting on Pindigo. And I think that that's OK!

Ohio State only loses 3 positions due to losing to Michigan. Alabama just misses out partially because they just didn't win on the road.

What if we did what most professional leagues do and not let humans DIRECTLY decide who goes into the College Football Playoff?
Well, let's try this system for starters, based on the MPSSAA football scoring system! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

So I watched the first John Wick movie tonight. It was fun, but with a lack of a real plot, it definitely could have been better. I think it was lower than the 86% given on RT. The later John Wicks are apparently better though, so we'll see!

What if you were in a world where you could participate in a tournament where you had to alternate between pinball and cribbage?!

I challenge you to do this. Twice. Doesn't matter what game it is, (this is Gran Turismo 4) but please let me know if it happens.
Meanwhile, I'm going to go get a lottery ticket... BRB...
