    Hello,

    I have always wanted to get into pinball more and have played off an on a SMIDGE, however I finally made the plunge and bought a machine and have been going to some local places (Quarter up, Stonehenge, and Mad cap).

    I am not sure of too many other places but I tried the leagues at Quarter and Mad and so far both are great. I could not find the time for Stonehedge but I think its tonight. Do any of these leagues have websites or groups on Facebook? I know the stores do but not sure the leagues are included on those.

    Do any of you know of any other leagues? I want to try a few out and maybe narrow down to the place that gets the most people has the best machines etc. Mad cap I will prob go to regardless as its the closest but perhaps a second one would be nice to do throughout the week.

    Thanks,

    I'm pretty sure the Stonehedge Wednesday thing is just a casual knock-out tournament. 7pm I believe? KidForce Collectibles in Berea has one of the biggest leagues in the nation....168 people I believe played in the last season (4 league seasons a year). Covid has put a dent on that as the regular leagues have been put on hold. They are however starting a smaller casual league starting Oct. 26th with rules in place to make it a safe way to play some pinball. Look them up on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/groups/277089579088925/

    Oh Kidforce? I do not remember them having a machine. I think I went there for MTG a few times back when I still payed. I will check that one out too.

    I did the same with MTG But rules changed so much I gave it up. When I find a fun new hoppy I jump in full force haha. Sucks for me because all the hobbies I like are expensive lmao.

    EDIT: You know what, it was not mtg. it was DND stuff just looked them up. Played that for a bit too but we kind of got bored with it after a while lol.

    Southland Lanes is a great place to play pinball. 31 different pinballs. Lineup is always changing. New leagues and tournaments all the time. Located 40 minutes north of you in middleburg heights. Madcap and Stonehedge are the best locations in your area.

    So even though the leagues only start the 26th can you still go there to play now?

    Fieldsweeper Hey,
    My name is Zak and I took over the Stonehedge meeting on Wednesdays. Starts at about 7pm usually 715 but 7 is what we are aiming for. If you come up a bit earlier I’m there at about 6:30 or any other time in the week if you let me know I can make an appearance. We can talk in person to make it easier and give you the run down of the area, places to play and rules of tournaments. It’s pretty welcoming and we have skills/players from all over. Let me know if you have any questions and I’ll be happy to answer them

    Sounds good. And I didn't care about the monster bash lol. btw is a death save allowed in leagues? I read they are not allowed in like major events but curious if any one can even pull em off? I wanna perfect that method haah

    Most leagues use IFPA rules so we would use the style of rules. Since it’s not worth any points (IFPA has suspended all events) we may do some things against rules but no death saves or bang backs are not allowed. Most tilts in tournaments will cause you to tilt instead of save it. If it comes screaming down, hits behind your flipper and comes back into play that’s called a Lazarus which is legal. Death saves would cause games to last forever and it’s a mixed feeling if a death save is a legit move. I wouldn’t get in the habit of it but I can definitely show you how to do it.
