I suck at competitive pinball. But I still love it. Am I insane?

The guy talking across you while you were playing is an asshat. That bull shit is not allowed in tournament play. I would politely ask the person to move. Once.

Coaching really is unacceptable too, during a tournament.

Outside a tourney - whatever, but in tourney that guy should shut the f up.

I think I should also add that I love the social aspect of pinball. I often only play my games when someone comes over. I love the casual over the competitive any day of the week.

Me and my friends often play dollar pinball.

I recently played in the pinball at the lake tourney here in SoCal.

I did very poorly but managed to get in a 3 way tie for the last spot in b.

It was the last game of the night and probably the most stressful game I've ever played.

I took 2nd and missed qualifying.

That said I guess I liked the different more intense competitive play as well, for some reason. I think if I bone up on some games I might get deeper into b.

Long live pinball!
