  • League Night Recap for 11/22/22

    Our last league night was the fourth of Season 17, and it was also two days before Thanksgiving, which I predicted would result in a low turnout. This was good, actually, because we needed to even out the banks. We had started with a single bank session, then did a two-bank rotation for the next…

  • League Night Recap for 11/8/22

    Note: Last time I declared my recap the Worst League Update Ever because I somehow forgot to take a single photo. This time I also forgot to take a single photo. In order to avoid having to call this the New Worst Ever, I am presenting it with dramatic recreations. The part of everyone is…

  • Worst League Update Ever (10/25/22)

    I’ve probably said this before, but this is the worst league update ever. The reason is that I apparently did not take any photos. Or I did but they got lost somewhere, which is a possibility. I’ve been having issues transferring photos from my various cameras to my computer which has also put my previously…

  • League Night Recap for 10/11/22

    Last league night seems like ages ago, since after that I got caught up in a blur of getting ready for Fear and Trembling (the fall charity tournament). (Stay tuned for some pictures from Fear and Trembling later. I’m having some issues with my computer that’s affecting getting photos from my camera.) It was a…

  • Josh and Jason win Super-Ball XVI

    Guest report by Joseph with photos by Heather First, thanks to Heather for letting me fill in on the tradition of writing league reports. Season XVI of the Lansing Pinball League ended with the traditional split-flipper Super-Ball Tournament.  And the tournament kept up the tradition of finding an odd number of players there.  Thus we…

  • Mike Threepeats League Championship

    Mike won his third straight league championship in the Season 16 finals on September 13, coming up out of the second-chance swamp to defeat Tim in two consecutive matches. Mike had to defeat Danny in a clash of the Titans that left Danny going home with third place (but not the third-place trophy, which he…

  • League Night Recap for 8/23/22

    Before I get to the recap, I have to set the record straight. The Capital Combo is a reputable news organ, and as such, we correct all errors of fact. Jason pointed one out in last time’s recap, when I said that to my surprise we had never played a Tuesday Night Smackdown on Rush.…

  • League Night Recap for 8/9/22

    The league night of 8/9 was the 7th meeting of season 16, so it started our final bank rotation. We had a vote to fill in two empty spots in Bank 8 (known as “Zeus”) and the most popular choice ended up being Getaway. In second place there was a tie between Cactus Canyon and…

  • League Night Recap for 7/26/22

    The league night of 7/26/22 was our 6th night of the season and, being an even numbered night, finished up a rotation of two banks. The banks were “Athena” and “Hades,” according to the naming scheme that only Joseph and I – mostly I – care about. Athena was originally slated to include Star Trek:…

  • League Night Recap for 7/12/22

    Before I start the recap for July 12, I need to recount a story I had forgotten to put in the previous recap, and that is something that happened at the very end of the night when a few of us were still hanging around playing Avengers. I was trying to do some Calculus homework…
