    There is a Detroit Pinball League (DPL) that meets monthly. We rotate houses, bring a snack to pass, and everyone chips in for pizza. It's a tournament style league and many of us have been involved in it for 15+ years. There are some requirements to join, such as owning at least 5 games so you are able to host at your house. PM me if you're interested.

    Everyone that is in the DPL is supposed to have enough games to be able to host, and we play on 5 games on league night. It is better to have 6 games so there is a backup game in case one game breaks during league play. Being able to host is a requirement so the same people don't get burdened by having to host all the time.

    Quoted from unclerudy:

    All of the things that you are asking for sound perfectly reasonable for having a league to belong to. I was just more looking for something more casual, but doing pretty much the same things. Rotating locations, playing pinball, having socialization, eating and drinking, learning about things and having a night out. You wouldn't have to be there every night. I guess it would be a club, instead of a league. I don't know how many people would be looking for something like that, but don't have enough machines to participate.
    A couple of years ago I was able to go to the VFW hall pinball location in Whitmore Lake for a group homebrew club meeting. Lots of people who don't have pins were able to meet other people, share some beers, and play pinball. It was a really fun evening. I have wanted to recreate that on a smaller scale for quite a while. Nothing serious, but still enjoyable.

    We are looking to put something together for the Brighton area. What type of event it will be hasn't been fully defined yet (league, just get together, etc). It would be a monthly thing and we would rotate houses. More to follow in the next few days.
