We have a winner: Mike becomes second-ever LPL champion
When the Lansing Pinball League was young, there was Chris, and there was everyone else. Chris’s victory was so certain that everyone focused instead on who would be the runner up. Matt called it “the Battle for Second.” After we switched to having a final playoff tournament instead of just basing standings on the points…

League Night Recap for 10/23/18
So it turns out that I only took two (2) pictures during our league night of 10/23 (actually both of the Smackdown winners), which was also the final night of regular play for season 11. I think my mind was really elsewhere because I was a bit worn out from preparing for the Fear and…

League Night Recap for 10/9/18

League Night Recap for 8/7/18
Our third night of the season, on August 7, began ominously. Our new scheme for rotating through the games had ended up putting us in an unfortunate cluster: Attack from Mars, Ghostbusters, Lord of the Rings, The Simpsons Pinball Party, and Theatre of Magic. While Ghostbusters and Simpsons aren’t known for being very long-playing at…

League Night Recap for 6/26/18
Way back at the end of June (July was a busy month, OK?) we had the second league night of Season 11. The new Stern Army banner had been moved to its permanent location, so as we came in, we were greeted by Uncle Gary guarding the alcove. We had our first game switch-out of…
