So I know Echa and was there for the first women's league night that she organized and am friends with a lot of the women in that league. Having their own league is important more for the pinball scene they have amongst each other, but also for the way women are vs. how guys are when competing and playing in general. The environment seems to be more nurturing and supportive even though we've got some really tough women competitors.
Looking at the list of women I think I've been beaten by like 20% of them - most all in tournament play!
