    I'm trying to find out how many people have casual "tournaments" in their home...
    It doesn't matter if it's you vs your spouse, you vs your kids, your friends, etc.

    I'm asking because I have an idea I've started brainstorming for something that could make these little in-home battles a bit more fun, and I want to see if other people are like me on this - because when I last had a pin in my home, the gf and I would play "tournaments" against each other all the time. And in-home bragging rights are nothing to scoff at when it comes to us playing pinball!

    Let me know in the poll or comments - would love to here how un-alone or alone I am in this.

    Thank you for all of the input! This is all really helping a lot with allowing me to pinpoint my goals with this idea.

    To get to the point, I'm brainstorming a way to basically make pinball more accessible and fun for those who don't necessarily see what all of us who are obsessed with it love so much about it. With that in mind, I also want this idea to enhance experienced pinball players' fun as well.

    Because really, the poll is showing exactly what I thought it would:
    1 - People like playing casually competitive pinball in their own home
    2 - People wish they could get their friends and family excited to play more often as well

    I'd really love to hear more specifics from more people about what they do in their own home competitively though. Because there looks like there are two sides to this: the "I want my family and friends to play more", and the "I'm already set up with (or want to setup) a good little mini-casual tournament gathering in my home".

    So if you haven't commented yet, please feel free to let me know the specifics of your home tourneys. It really doesn't matter if it's just games between you and your wife, or a ten person group from the office, etc.
