The first league event is still on.  
2pm:   Practice Time  
3pm:   Tournament Starts

Please show up at least for the 3pm start time to help us get this going.    jonny_eh are you prepared for running it?   I have no idea of the legistics.

I haven't gone through the thread throughly, but I believe based on the PMs the following are committed:

  • goldfinger88
  • newf112
  • TheLoafer
  • jonny_eh
  • tinyrodent
  • ethous
  • tuborg
  • hippochrome


possible
  • twilightzone


declined (due to my bad date/time)
  • steph
  • medvet


Quoted from Tuborg
OK - I've picked a date for starters.   Agree with all comments and a set date would be good, but lets get it off the ground and work on the details afterward.

Saturday, January 17th
2-5pm


Anyone know Shoeguy's phone number?

The games available are:
  • Sure Shot (Gottlieb EM)
  • Bobby Orr Powerplay
  • Sinbad
  • TwilightZone
  • Funhouse
  • Dracula (BSD)


We'll have an excuse for low TZ's scores 'cause the upper-playfield is missing a few scoring switch blades (I've been too lazy to finish researching the part number - it was not easily findable in the TZ manual).   A few games have the "free play dot" but I believe that's because I suck at pinball (too lazy again to check the test report) - hey it was Christmas.  

Sorry to those that indicated to me that this date wouldn't work for them, but this Saturday does not work for me, and I want to get the first Ottawa Pinball League (OPL) event going.

Ya, I can run the show. I can't promise to being super organized, it'll be a learning experience, for sure.

Great - no worries - all it takes is the right outfit to look like you know what you are doing:

Life is like Pinball!! You never know where you will bounce or where your going but sometimes you have that one amazing shot But on the other hand you have those darn gutter ball where you just get frustrated.

I "might" make a short guest appearance afterwards,

Have fun folks !

Have a blast, folks. It's unlikely I'll be able to make it. If I can, I'll drop by for an hour or so.

I would come if I could but since I'm reading this from Orlando, could be a bit of a stretch, Good news is that my hotel has a POTC and a Batman this year. At least the LOTR is gone - YES!   Was hoping for a CSI but I'll find one down here....

Have fun tomorrow. LMK what gets decided for future organized meetings. I can host Feb or March if you like. Just pencil me in where you want.

Good luck guys and gals

The only chance I have of winning is if we only play on Sinbad and Powerplay and even that's a miniscule stretch!

ME: Enjoy the sun!  I'm not jealous at all that we're stuck in -30 weather around here. Not at all...

Some things I should have mentioned to those who are coming:


1) We likely won't hear the doorbell as we are in the basement.   The garage door is open - come in that way, and follow your ears (go down the stairs)
2) Its in the basement - you might want to bring some indoor shoes if your feet get cold.  I'm ok in sock feet, but others might not be.

Phone number if you are lost or can't get in:
613.274.7493


See you soon,
Doug.
