Des Moines Pinball League starts a new season in LESS than 2 weeks. This will be a full season and we will have Trophies and Prizes for the top players. If we have enough players, we will probably even have the group split into flights...so everyone has a decent chance at prizes. Even if you don't win, you will have fun and meet some great people. I think that is the best part of pinball league.
Here is how it will work:
All meetings will be Mondays at 7pm at the Jordan Creek Theater arcade, we will break into groups and play the assigned machine...4 games each week, and you will be measured against the others in your group for each game (and then as a final tally). I'll be sending out the rules next week and we will also go over them real quick the first night.
No Fees...you just have to pay for the games you play, so $2. Bring friends, family, significant others, etc...I think everyone who played last time had fun once they got there - once you get them there, hopefully they will be hooked. Having too many players would be a nice problem to have.
I have been giving the rules a lot of thought and thinking about ways to make it even more fun and exciting for everyone...if you have any ideas, let me know.
