    I'm putting together a small odd-setup tournament for our league this weekend and looking for a few more ideas. We'll do one game that you have to play wearing boxing gloves. Another where the tilt bob is attached to a hat you wear while playing. And at least one with some sort of obscured view. Might do a reversed flipper game (I'd rather not mess with any wiring if I can avoid it though). Any other ideas that you have seen at shows or just thought might be fun?

    Play with hands crossed - left hand on right flipper and right hand on left flipper.

    Play one handed ( if you have a Pirates game you need to play on one leg too, peg legged and scream arrghh when done )

    Play backwards, having to try and look over your shoulder.

    Bird box challenge style. Need 2 players. One players plays blindfolded. Second player verbally calls out when to flip and which hand.

    Relay...have teams and swap players mid ball every 20 or 30 sec. Sit on a stool, both legs on it.

    Put powerballs in one game.

    Wire foot pedals that control the flippers and require play with no hands

    Pairs of players - let everyone only play ball one. Announce the pairs switch their player number for the rest of the game... so he that is winning after ball 1 is suddenly losing going in to ball 2.

    Evaluate winner by reading score digits right to left.

    Set up binoculars attached to a box that look at the playfield. Have them reversed so everything is tiny.

    Another one could be to just have the players sit on a step stool and play.

    Stall Ball- team play where the players switch spots any time the ball "stalls", like in Addams,... the electric chair, swamp, skill shot hole/thing, locking a ball, etc

    Someone suggested this for my NYE party and it was a blast.
