League Night Recap for 1/27/15
Last week’s league night – the second meeting of Season 4 – was a night of shakeups. Sarah ruled the night, leaving Alex and Chris in her dust in second place. Two of last season’s Battlers for Third, Joseph and Mike S., landed near the bottom of the pile. And Austin Powers found an entirely…

League Night Preview: 1/27/14
It’s time for another League Night, the second of Season 4. As usual, Matt has randomly chosen our games: The Simpsons Pinball Party. Arrrrghhhhhhhh…. World Cup Soccer.

League Night Recap for 12/2/14 (and Zen Tournament Preview)
As I have not yet completely worked out my strategy for quitting my job and devoting myself to a life of pinball hedonism, I have been kept busy by the end-of-term crunch. As a result I sadly did not find time to write my usual League Night Recap for 12/2/14. This is too bad especially since…
