ok. i know we are small city here. but i am really trying to get a peterborough league going. i have mostly just been promotting the idea and have at least 15 dedicated people i know that will go out of their way to attend at least once a month. there is another 10-30 that would show up every so often depending on work and such. we have the shop so far and soon my house. both will have at least six machines or more. mcmean is in and so is bish. both have nice machines in their collection. there are two barry's that collect here and both i think are in's for hosting as well. a couple bars have told me if i want to set pins up in their locations that they would try their best to watch over them. but also that we could also hold meetings at those locations as well. now what i need to know is where to go make it all legit. point me out in the right direction, thanks. then maybe i can get some more peterborough guys to travel and go to other leagues to play. i really enjoyed the travels to play in ottawa a few years back. eve is at a age where i don't mind travelling longer distances with her or without her. so road trips to play would be great.
As an example, right now if you google Ottawa Pinball, nothing comes up at all about the OPL here, so exposure is limited to the people on this site only.
Maybe you want to keep it that way, but if you want the league to thrive you going to need to expand outside the MAACA community.
My only thought process on the separate website is you are limiting your player base by leaving it here.
Even if you just create a 1 page website that says "MPL: Montreal Pinball League, for information on the Montreal Pinball League please follow this link" which directs you to the forum here, that way you are at least getting the separate exposure without having the get the person to find MAACA and then wade threw allt he other stuff that goes on here.
THAT we can do... same for the OPL if they wish.
This being said, I have asked that MacPhreak add 2 new categories to the Forums... MONTREAL PINBALL LEAGUE and OTTAWA PINBALL LEAGUE. Any posts in regards to these can be put in there for quick reference. A set of rules can also be put in as a sticky.
and if there is a OPL meting in August, I will try to attend (since I cancelled mine). I believe Tinyrodent is the OPL manager... we can always sit down and discuss how far we want to take it.
I am very serious on this... I am even willing to dust off the MAACA Cup...

To make it legit? I'm not sure what you mean by make it legit, but if you want some help with the rules and format and stuff like that, your more then welcome to to copy the TOPL format, just ask and I can send you all the information I have. I did the same thing for OPL and they modified the format to suit their needs.

I already made a website http://ottawapinheads.ca/ but Google hasn't indexed it yet. I just submitted the address so hopefully that will be rectified soon.
However I have been remiss in updating the site since the playoffs... will do that soon.
Playable Now: Centaur II, Doctor Who, High Speed. Playable Soon: Breakshot, Sorcerer Later: Flash, Genie, Seawitch Fondly remembered: Firepower
