Acronym is too long for my tastes.  

You have more than one Taste?

MTLPL, you can't even say that.  

Metalpill.

Actually, it was my idea to name it the MTLPL, merely because http://www.MPL.ca or other suffix was already taken. And besides... the Toronto league is tOpl... not TPL. And topol (the way members say it) is a tobacco-stain-removing toothpaste from the 70's.

Simply put, MTL is short for Montreal just like TO is for Toronto, and a domain is available.

As for MAACA being long, here is the argument:

Canadian Pinball Association.... can't... we do vids too... and there is no way this will work across Canada (so we thought at the time...)

ok then... Montreal Arcade Association... yeah, but we are collectors, not distributors...

fine then... Montreal Arcade Collectors Association... sure... but we also can talk about jukes and other games...

ALRIGHT ALREADY... Montreal Arcade and Amusement collectors Association.

...

fastforward 2 years later...


So now we have members all across Canada... do we change it to Canadian Arcade...

CAACA?

Uh... no.


Point is, it's just letters and a name. We can call it the QPL (Quebec Pinball League) or the EPL (Eastern Pinball League (I like that one)) for all I care.

Fine... we poll.

I like your logo MacPhreak.

I would love to drive back to Mtl for a regional tournament between Ottawa, Mtl and T.O. for eatern Canada Supremacy!

Potty-mouth... here... use this to wash that mouth.

Does anyone even realize the inspiration for this logo? I know Sparky does.

Probably a lot less savage than a Leafs/Habs game but it would be fun nonetheless! In the end, we all play great pinball, have a beer or six, eat some pizza and have a few laughs... what the hobby is all about.

... then, we beat the TOPL to a pulp.

At least make it green if your going for a clover

Not likely   But we'll be waiting when and if you ever get your league off the ground.  

The Toronto Game Room show is taking shaping, I'll most likely be running the Tournament there, maybe Montreal will have some representation to send by then.  

Starbust has also said the Canadian Pinball Championship is coming as well in Oct, how much truth to that there is I have no idea.
