Quoted from ifpapinball:It's mostly positive because the average number of events played per year in the US/Canada is 4.8 events per year.
For those players they are looking at a $4.80 charge to enjoy the IFPA site and everything that comes along with that (earning WPPR's, being ranked, having a personal archive of results, etc). At $5 per year they can rationalize this as not a big deal.
Averages are useless. What's the standard deviation?
Most people I know (none serious or pro players) player either 1-2 events a year or 20+
