Spring '12 / Week #6

Spring '12 / Week #5

This week we had 17 people playing so 5 teams were formed, and everyone played the same set of 4 games. The four games in the lineup were Cactus Canyon, Silver Slugger, Addams Family, and NBA Fastbreak. Nothing too out of the ordinary happened with the League games this week; bonus points were earned by Zoe, Jim, Stephen, and Henry for earning the top scores for the night. As an interesting side note, at the end of the evening Chris H. claimed the grand champion score on Lord of the Rings with a score of 285,223,000--beating the previous grand champion score of 193,498,800.

Spring '12 / Week #4

This week we had 20 people playing, so 5 teams were formed and everyone played the same set of 4 games. Again, most people had a 2 week scale to go by (except for the guests who stopped by for the first time), so teams were formed with similarly scoring players together. Bonus points were earned by Mitch (on 2 games), Kevin, and Josh W. for getting the high scores for the night.

Spring '12 / Week #3

Starting this week, were formed by placing similarly scoring players with each other. It was Chris H.'s birthday so the first set of games were chosen by him. Also, Daryl joined us later in the evening when the games had already started so he wasn't able to get a full set of scores, but he was happy enough to play pinball with other people. Since there were 23 people who showed up, teams had to be split up; half of the groups played 1 set of games and the other half of the groups played a different set of games. Top scores for the night were achieved by Aaron W., David, Mitch, Kevin (on 2 games), Josh W., and Josh L. (on 2 games) so they were the ones who earned bonus points for this week.

Spring '12 / Week #2

Week 2 of the season means that we still do not have enough points to place people on the 2-week-performance scale. So yet again everyone was randomly assigned to teams. Since we only had 4 teams this week, that meant that everyone played the same set of games. The games played last week were discarded from the randomly selected lineup to ensure that there was variety in the lineup. Bonus points were earned by Jim, Zoe (on 2 games), and Rich. Next week most players will have a 2-week-performance scale to go by, so players with similar scores will be playing each other.

Spring '12 / Week #1

So this was the first week of the new season, so that means that everyone's point totals were reset back to zero. Therefore, everyone was randomly assigned to teams since we do not yet have our 2 week performance rating to go by.  Star Trek: The Next Generation was the new machine on location so that was automatically in the lineup for the night; the other 3 games for the night were randomly selected.  Bonus points were earned by Aaron W., Jim, Zoe, and David for getting the top scores.

Zoe and Rich finished the Winter 2012 season with impressive jumps from 10th place to 2nd place, and 12th place to 3rd place respectively.   The tournament result scores are posted on the Winter '12 overall standings page.

The Final Four of the EBPL tournament:  Stephen (holding his daughter), Aaron W., Zoe, and Rich.

In 2 weeks we will start the Spring 2012 season; everyone will be back at zero points and will have to work their way up again.  So in a few months we will see who the next final four will be when we have our Spring 2012 tournament!

Winter '12 / Week #12

This week we had 20 people, so 5 teams were formed and everyone played the same set of 4 games.  This was the last week of standard League play for the Winter 2012 season, so points were especially crucial for everyone before our end-of-season tournament next week.  Bonus points were earned by David, Kevin R., Zoe, and Jim for earning the top scores for the night.
