I was just wondering what people think about a possible future shows
feature.

I was envisioning a setup where all-comers can schedule say, a 20
minute session with a tourney player to get one-on-one tips, advice,
etc. to improve their play.

Is this something that would interest you?

Have you ever played with Molly? She's definitely cute. And wow, she can play! Top qualifier at PPE in the Novice Division.

Seriously, though, I'm talking about maybe having a pro give you tips and strats that can take you to the next level.

I think it would be cool. Especially if they watched me play and coached me by telling me what I'm doing wrong or could do better in that situation. Watching them play is a bonus.

Yes, exactly. That would be the idea. Thanks for the feedback so far, everyone.

If you mean pinball 101, it is quite good. I definitely recommend it.

In the Playing Tips forum I posted all the skills resources I've found so far on the web, but pinball 101 is probably the best one-stop-shop.

Anyway, the reason I was asking about this is because at shows it seems like many people are apprehensive about approaching the tourney guys, or don't see a good time to do it since they're busy qualifying. However, if there were a system in place it might change that.

Regarding the camera thing, I have an idea for that. I'm thinking of building something out of maybe pvc pipe. It would be like a tall hospital gurney. Then I have my home theater projector to project the game on a screen or wall. Ideally I would like to have two or even three cameras for this setup. One on the playfield, one on the player and one on the display.
