You already know it, but I am in.

P.S. If we are to be in the league do each of us still have to receive a cattle branding as a confirmation? Mine is starting to fester.

Could be a lot of fun! Please keep me posted.

Sounds good to me.

Leagues are great. Lots of awesome formats out there as well. Pittsburgh has a great league, if you need advice on rules or format, let me know. I'd be glad to help out.

Back on top.

Taylor,

Here is the Free State Pinball Association (FSPA) short version of the players guide (rules). The long version is linked therein:
http://www.fspazone.org/players_guide.html

We also have a nice software system for leagues to track using a web page: machines, players, player groups, scores, meets, seasons and historical archives. Several different leagues are using the FSPA web software and you could too.

Free State Pinball Association (FSPA) [Washington DC Metro]: http://fspa.league.tater.org/
Magic City Pinball Association (MCPL) [Birmingham, AL]: http://mcpl.league.tater.org/
Downingtown Pinball Association (DPL) [Downingtown, PA]: http://dpl.league.tater.org/
St. Louis Area Pinball Association (SLAP) [St. Louis, MO Metro]: http://stlouis.league.tater.org/
Southern PA Pinball Association [Hanover, PA]: http://hanover.league.tater.org/

and I believe a new league at the (awesome) Flippers arcade in Grandy, NC

Let me know if you have questions. Good luck with the league !!

I forgot the rules link - now posted.

I'm currently in Nova and a member of the FSPA(or was now that we just lost John's Place). I moved up to Nova for work as I'm from the Richmond Area(Chester) and have decided I want to move back. Once I do I'm glad to hear that a league is starting to form. If there is any kinda of news email list or something I could join to keep up to date on Richmond pinball please let me know.

I think it's a great idea and I would like to be apart of it Taylor has alrdy helped me out with giving me info with my new pins and I'm so grateful! Unfortunately ill be leaving with the military but I will be back in a few months I hope I can still be apart of this group.

sounds awesome. just too far away for me (lexington)

What happened to the league nights being held at johns place? ive showed up in the past month to an empty bar atleast 3 or 4 different nights oh and that Poor AFM.....

John's Place is closed. Owner was losing money I guess. Games have been moved out

We/fspa are looking for other options in VA. We still have 2 leagues in MD and considering adding a 2nd night at Town Hall in College Park, MD.

Suck to lose a public location that had 14 tables but we have found a new NOVA location, Might Mike's in Sterling. Will only have 4-5 tables to begin but that's better than no league.

Who has the resources to start a place in Richmond? It seems that with all of the college population and the hipsters one could be fairly successful, or at par, with a proper pin gallery of some sort. Or, at least, I am hoping that would be the case.

"Who has the resources to start a place in Richmond?"

Its funny this conversation has come up. I have a solid business plan for this and am currently seeking the final funding and the appropriate location in RVA!

Play,

First, what is your given name? PM me if you don't want to post it in the thread.

I feel there are couple of good locations around Cary Street. One of them is adjacent to Mojo's at Cary St. and Laurel St. If you need some help once you start the business, let me know. The prospect of pins being in Richmond is very exciting! Keep us posted on your progress.

Oh, and the second location is where Plan 9 music shop was.

Play that sounds really great. What kind of time frame do you have in mind? Just pinball or a barcade?

Plan 9 has moved across the street to a smaller location. It is closer to the size it was when I was in high school. A pizza place called mellow mushroom is moving into their old space. I think you are right about Carytown rents being crazy now.

Yes, Plan 9 just moved across the street. I didn't know that about Mellow Mushroom opening at their old place. Could be good or could be lame. There were a couple of the older ones that I liked while living in Atlanta, but I ate at one that opened a year or so ago back home in Chattanooga and it was very much a commercial imitation of what the ones I remember were.

There was talk about privatizing the alcohol businesses the past couple of years, but apparently nothing has become of it. And that wouldn't necessarily remove the government mandate about how a business owner can include alcohol in his business.

Cary town would probably be expensive. I am not sure if it would be cheaper near me. Like the spot across from Mojo's.

Anyway, I hope whoever decides to include pins with their business here is successful.

I'm going to get my A$$ kicked

My homies and I have been doing some serious training to prepare for the league. You don't stand a chance!

No wonder I can't ever beat Jeremecium! That is an impressive training style.

Mighty Mike's started up on Monday. We have a good 20+ people. Which makes 5 machines interesting but we make it work. Next big thing is the Fairfax Pinball Open Feb 22-23rd. For more info check out http://www.virginiapinball.com

Add me please Taylor...... [email protected]
