Super-Ball X
We’re hours away from the start of season 11, so naturally there’s no better time to give a recap of Super-Ball X, AKA the Zen Tournament, which took place on May 22. Sadly, our turnout for the traditional split flipper tournament was very low. We ended up doing a round robin with the idea that…
