Quoted from spazzman90:I know of and have played against many of the women that partcipated in this tournament. I guess I would be inclined to ask why there is even a separate tournament for women at all? Doesn't just the notion of a segregated tournament imply that they are somehow unequal? Enlighten me.
because it gets more women inclined to participate. Just like the youth divisions and senior divisions. Where normally they wouldn't participate. And gives women new to the hobby a chance, without having to complete with all the guys that have been playing for years. Stephanie won a womans tournament at MGC. It was the first tournament she ever took place in, and was very new to pinball. Only played probably 100 games in her life at that time. Getting to play in a tournament and feel like she accomplished something, just reeled her in to the hobby. Making pinballs fan base more diverse, and it's not just and old guys game anymore.
