Quoted from pinballcorpse:Thanks for the updates, good job to Danni, and most importantly, feel better soon!
I have never been to PAPA (but understand the format). However, given the volume of players, I don't have a feel for things like lines and gameplay times at the PAPA event other than what I see looking at entries online and pictures of people waiting.
With 115 players in A division, realistically, how many full entries could a person in A division possibly play? You said you played 5 or 6 entries (I assume the full 5 games on each?) I see the statistic for all *submitted* entries for each competitor, but I suspect there had to have been some voids. The neverdrains software for Herb events shows how many total games were played and voided. Seems like some of the top qualifiers like Keith and Bowen only play 1 or 2 entries and it holds all weekend (incredible!), whereas some are constantly moving up and down.
I guess I am questioning could someone actually play 60 entries? I can't even understand how one divides their time up between all the events-3 classics and the main? For a player like Bowen to be in the top spots in all 4 events is truly amazing.
I'll have to go eventually just to say I did it
PAPA 19 Will go down as the most crowded PAPA ever (until next year). Long lines for A and Classics were the norm, even first thing in the morning (Classics). Having the circuit the day before helped bring everyone into town.
Personally , i like to be able to play my entry one game after another, without too much wait. For A, it was a little better , but in Classics it was near impossible without just choosing "shortest line". Had much more fun playing the non-tournament games, due to sucking in the other stuff.
