I'm interested!  I have only 1 pin (and it's still in the garage!) so hosting is not really an option but I'm good with playing in a league.

This is what the TOPL trophies look like for Season Champ and Playoff Champion.

We are also having 2 more trophies made this year, one for Most High Scores and One for most improved player

On another note I do know my Wife would like to Join and she is a member here.
She just never post.

That's because you are posting enough for both of us

Is the trophy given to the winner? (like a bowling trophy) or is the name just put on the one trophy (like the stanley cup)?

I'd prefer the cheap bowling trophy type.

most improved player

Wow - reminds of the ESSO hockey days - didn't those awards go to the worst player??  I have a few of those      Reminds me of the movie where it pans to the boys bulletin board of medals full of "participation" "attendee" awards.

I like the Stanly Cup idea - the tradition begins now - who gets their name of the trophy first.  Imagine years later people looking at all the names and seeing yours on it.   A personal trophy will end up in the trash at least at my place (although I don't think I need to worry about this waste in the pinball trophy department).  I have no problem with awarding a personal trophy though for those that wish.

We could all chip in $5 and get a trophy done. It's all in good fun, bragging rights and the visual proof that goes with said rights .

It's like the Stanley Cup, if you win you get your initals on the trophy via a plaque, same as you would for putting your 3 initals in a machine and you get to keep and display the trophy till the end of the next season/playoffs.  

The most improved is a way to help reward players that don't have a chance at winning season champ or playoffs.  It's a way to reward the people who show up and may not be great, but are still putting the effort in.

TOPL rules would probably be a good place to start. Maybe a more relaxed version for the Ottawa crowd?

OK, guys. Time to get more concrete.

Since Jon offered to organize the scoring system and Doug offered first meeting, how about Doug sets up a first meeting time that works for him and then we use that meeting to organize a bit better and plan the timings, meetings etc for the winter/spring. We can also discuss how the scoring will work and as Tinyrodent noted, maybe modify it for the Ottawa crowd if people want. My personal thought is structured but less competitive and more fun. Trophies etc are fun but let's just get the regular meetings off the ground and then worry about prizes and trophies etc. If Jon is still offering, I propose we throw that ball into his court to organize once we get some participants.

The other option, if the numbers are looking bigger for the first organizational meeting is we can have it at my house for social playing and serious organizing and then have the first official League night at Doug's to start the ball rolling.

Doug and I can talk and see what the timing is between the two of us and post back to here for numbers.
