League Night Recap for 8/11/26
August 11 was our opening night of our silver Season 25! It’s like America’s 250, except something fun actually happened. This doesn’t mean 25 years, since we have had 2 seasons a year for a while and prior to that sometimes had 3 seasons a year. But the 25th season still seems like a great…

Danny once again defeated Tim to defend his championship in Season 24 of the Lansing Pinball League on May 12. For the third season in a row, Tim fought their way through the second-chance bracket to face Danny in the finals. This time, Tim won the first round of finals 2-1, giving Danny his first…

League Night Recap for 4/28/26
We had our final qualifying night for Season 24, which would determine who would get the top seed (and thus guaranteed extra game choices all night in playoffs) and who would make the cut for A. It was a well-attended night, including a couple of guest players. Unfortunately, it is in a less jovial than…

Lansing Lightning Flippers Recap 4/24/26
April 24 was another exciting meet for the Lansing Lightning Flippers women’s league. We had a high turnout of 12 players, which made for a tidy three groups of four. In addition to most of our usual players, we had a new player, Danielle – a friend of Lexi, I believe. Danielle did quite well…

League Night Recap for 4/14/26
Our last league night saw us embarking on a rotation of our last two banks, known according to my whim as “Locke” and “Leibniz.” Despite the alliteration, as far as Enlightenment philosophy goes, you probably can’t get more opposite than Locke’s representative realism and Leibniz’s… whatever the hell the deal with the monads was. The…

Lansing Lightning Flippers Recap 4/11/26
The last Lightning Flippers meet was our fourth, which also means we were starting the second half of the season. We had seven attend which means we were missing a few members, but we were graced by the return of Linda, Sarah, and Mackenzie after their absence last time. We were split into the top…

League Night Recap for 3/24/26
We finished up our rotation of banks 5 and 6 at the last league night. The banks are named Berkeley and Hume. Berkeley is Bishop George Berkeley, is an underrated (in your league director’s view) 18th century empiricist known best for his claim that esse est percipi, “to be is to be perceived.” There is…

Lansing Lightning Flippers Recap 3/28/26
We finished up the front half of Season 1 on March 28 with, unfortunately, a much smaller turnout than the previous meet. Linda was living it up on the JoCo Cruise, Mackenzie and Sarah were in California, and we were also missing new players Beatrice and Jen. The up side is that with eight players…
