Quoted from Eric_S:I think a pinball league in the Fox Valley is long overdue. I'm looking forward to it.
Me too! I haven't heard from DQ yet. Hope he will see this. 
Quoted from DanQverymuch:Oh yeah, I'm in, baby!
Yeah you are. 
Should have some more info in the next few days. Pinewood Derby taking up my time for a few days.
Any pinsiders in the remote area that are interested in joining the league please send me a pm. We are having out first league night Feb 15th.
Quoted from dkazz1:What about us "northerners"??
You are welcome to join. I should of made this clearer.
Quoted from RustyLizard:Tom. I am interested and would like to try and make it work. Are you thinking once a month? Saturday nights always? What happens when on can't make it? Subs? Zero points for the night?
I would really enjoy doing this and could certainly help hold the bottom of the field together? Any interest in driving here when it was my turn to host? I will give this some serious thought.
Hey Russ we would love to have you. We are thinking once a month and will try to keep it on Saturday nights as I think this will work for most.
No subs, you play for yourself.
If you are absent we will take 80% of the league avg. 2nd absent 60%, 3rd absent 40%.
As Eric mentioned above, we are trying to keep it within a hour driving distance. That may change at some point. Although you may not host, doesn't mean you can't join and be part of the league if you don't mind the drive.
Tom.
Quoted from CaptainNeo:I don't know. Sounds pretty lame to me. Heard the guys up there can't play for shit anyway.
Go back to your fancy Milwaukee area league. :p
Quoted from CaptainNeo:does that include your kids?
No not yet. . Plus I don't want them making me look bad in front of everyone when they beat me.
Quoted from CaptainNeo:least it would be a way to get some trophies in the house.
That is just cold. 
Quoted from tmac:I am throwing a flag on Neo. Unsportsmanlike trash talking! Tom has a trophy!

Neo had already packed up and headed out before then. 
Quoted from PinballKen:Proof Neo was there. Although very dubious proof because my camera on my phone is potato.

I wonder if the picture looked clear to you when you took it. 
Quoted from CaptainNeo:SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. and yes I already contacted him. Working it out already.
Sorry. Just wanted to make sure you saw it.
Quoted from PM_Jeremy:I will toss my hat in the ring
Tom, I will send you a pm.
Jeremy
Your in Jeremy.
Quoted from Jediturtle:Nicole likes the idea of getting me out of the house for a night each month, so what the heck...consider me in. I'll probably end up riding the absentee points rule, but hopefully not too much!
I'm not into competing, but any excuse to hang out with you guys works for me!
In!
Sweet Chris. Glad you are joining. If Nicole wants to join that is cool with me although if she is trying to get rid of you...then maybe not.
Tom.

Quoted from DanQverymuch:I have to say, our first league night went smoothly!
Thanks for hosting, Eric!
Yes, it was packed with awesomeness.
Quoted from Jediturtle:You know what wasn't awesome? The drive home. Took 30+ minutes more than usual. The roads were pretty brutal. WTF...do they not have plows that go on 41? But I'm home and exhausted now!
Thanks for a fun night guys...look forward to many more!
You should have crashed at my place.

Quoted from Eric_S:I forgot to mention that we have league members not only from the Fox Valley, but also Green Bay, Wausau, and Plymouth, so there may be opportunities for carpooling if you live outside the immediate Fox Valley area.
Hi Everyone. We have one spot remaining. As Eric said, you don't have to be in the immediate Fox Valley area. We are just looking for guys (or girls) that want to play some pinball. Owning a machine is not a requirement. Let Eric or myself know if you are interested in joining. March 15 is our next outing.

Quoted from DanQverymuch:Wow, our league has grown in the last six years! I believe we're at 38 this year.
Tom and Eric are still running it and still killing it! Thanks, guys, this should be the best year yet! And thanks to all the hosts too, past and present. Couldn't have a league without you! It's so generous of you to let all us pinball weirdos into your homes!
Quoted from Jediturtle:I miss you hosting Dan! I always loved your setup and cool gizmos. I agree with everything you wrote. We are very blessed with our players and hosts. I love our league family!
Thanks Dan! Seems just like yesterday we started.
We are starting our 7th year.
