    I'm just glad to see that Ed Cheung is still around in pinball. That dude is the bomb, for everything he did for Space Shuttle owners over the years, before things like repro playfields and shuttle toys were available.

    Quoted from YeOldPinPlayer:

    As the capabilities of our equipment change, the nature of our competition may change too. Time will tell.

    Won't be IFPA. The whole reason that 'selfie leagues' were removed from official rankings sanctioning would be more than enough to justify not accepting internet scores for tournaments. You have me play your game on a game you're bad on, then enter your initials. You do the same for me on a game I'm terrible at. We both get to go to finals, and agree to split the prize if one of us wins. People just can't be held accountable in situations like these, and WILL find a way to exploit it.

    Quoted from YeOldPinPlayer:

    Selfie leagues are still sanctioned. They just only generate WPPRs for the finals portion, the selfie part is used for seeding.

    Can you slice that truffle a little thinner, I can't see through it yet..lol...

    Seriously though, you know what I mean. While seeding can offer a small-or-not advantage in a tournament, those scores aren't being used to determine actual matches, just as you wouldn't use scores from tables that could be set up any which-way to do so. Do I think IFPA would allow use of Scorbit in the same way selfies are? Sure...because it's still confined to one location, where the finals will presumably take place (is that kosher or not to have finals elsewhere...seems shitty to me to do that...but people.) but do I want to be seeded against Joe Schmoe that took the glass off his LOTR at home and 'got to Valinor'...nope. ifpapinball chime in, this is really interesting.

    I had no clue Matchplay had it's own ratings.

    Hey, I'm in the top 100. That's awesome.
