    Quoted from LOTR_breath:

    75% of that dollar going directly to the state prize pool. Only 25% of that dollar goes to Nationals,

    Josh/IFPA,

    Please clarify if the current $20 fee per player at each state championship goes away under the new proposed $1/player/tournament fee structure. Sorry if this was already mentioned.

    Thanks for all you guys do for competitive pinball over at IFPA.

    To me it seems like the legal concerns (and ethical concerns related to charity events) associated with the proposed changes are the real kicker.

    Quoted from daley:

    I agree. This whole discussion interested me so I dug around and from what I can see in the statutes there are very clear exceptions for prizes and award purses to competitions of skill which would make trophies and prizes in local tournaments perfectly legal: https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/statutes/statutes/945/01
    I do not know about how this would ultimately be applied to the whole IFPA change, but I don't see why prizes or a trophy in a local tourney would not be legal

    daley,

    How are you going to get 6 pages of forum comments and personal attacks on this matter if you just calmly and logically discuss and resolve everything.

    Pinball Conspiracy Theory #43:
    How many Yes votes were bought to push the Yes % total to over 50%?
    What mods were promised as tokens of appreciation for Pinsiders to vote Yes, so they can mod up their pinball machines?
