South Burlington, VT
Inconsistent flipper feel from game to game means that the results of the tournament are measuring, in part, players' ability to adjust to each game. Sounds fine to me.

Quoted from Whysnow:Please make sure you are also accounting for the format of the event. PAPA is an event built on the need to put up 5 consistent games for a single entry. Plenty of challenge to just adjust to 5 differnet games, eras, manufacturers, etc...
Obviously it's a challenging tournament. If you remove some of the challenge, you're removing some of what makes this tournament special. Lightening flippers in place of regular ones? Check. Center posts removed? Check. I'm sure you'd hate those things, too, if you had to deal with them. Yet, the challenge is the same for everyone.
I really think of it like playing sports in rain/wind/snow. It's easier to win when you remember that both teams have to deal with the conditions, and they don't exist for the sole purpose of putting you at a disadvantage.
Quoted from Whysnow:Should we start misalligning flippers to increase the need for players to adjust?
Maybe a Bananna flipper on the right with a lightning on the left?
Probably not. The current level of challenge, as fate would have it, is just about right.
Quoted from Chet:Does anyone know how many people competed in the seniors division this year?
