knock it off you guys, you are making us wisconsin people look like suckers.

a fucking dollar? what is this Thailand? I thought it was $5 for a full night with breakfest?

I don't really understand where this is going, so I'm going to do what I did before and not give a shit about points. I've never cared about points in the first place. All I know is points fawked me over good at MIEXPO, because they put us in A division, because there wasn't enough A division people to fill the A bank of Brawl. Needless to say, I might as well have wiped by ass with the $65, because at that point, we didn't have a chance in hell. Farther down the list I am, the better.

the PGA is illegal here because of it.

yes, but how the WI law is written, PGA is technically Illegal here. But because that would infringe upon all the reps and their friends, everyone looks the other way.

no, i'm saying we still have it, but it is technically illegal by WI law. The same law that makes it illegal for us to get trophies and prize money from pinball tournaments.

I did specify that the representatives look the other way, because of all the rich buddies that partake in the PGA.

Dan has been fighting this for going on 3 years now, and he says that pinball tournaments are out of the realm of the law and cannot offer any prizes that have any value. So no cash prizes, no trophies. Only thing allowed are useless pieces of paper that say congratulations.

and the problem is, that if you want to follow the rules....(as softball, bowling and what not, are technically doing it illegal in our state), you cannot have trophies or money payouts. Dan has gone to state officials and pointed this out, as well as all the other things in Wi that act illegal. It's an outdated law that basically sits in limbo and they use it, when they feel they want to, or someone is not greasing their hands enough. The only way it's going to get changed, is by hiring a high priced lawyer, or putting enough spotlight on them and having the threat of the precious PGA or something of similar status, be shut down because of the law.

dan and I have talked for hours on this subject trying to figure out a way around it. I forgot what section of the law this pertains to.

but we can always use help, the more resources the better. if you want to help in the battle, we are all for it.

I can change that. Pics to follow.

high ranking and good are not directly related. someone that plays a ton of events that racks up points, doesn't directly reflect how good of a player they are. Not saying he's not a good player, but on the national level playing against the A players, we really don't stand a chance.

as it should be.

mad rollin would be just as fun without points. You don't need points to have a turn out. Trophies is good enough.
