This is the place to discuss game specific tournament tips, announce upcoming tournaments, quibble over IFPA rules, leak tournament lineups, and congratulate the champions!

It's more fun to compete!

I'll get the ball rolling: Who's playing at pinball at the zoo? Anyone got a scoop on the lineup?

Awesome! Do you guys have any games on location? Or are you trying to tap the local collectors. It seems easier to generate interest if can get an establishment involved (arcade, bar, etc.)

I've been thinking lately about putting together an app that compiles strategy guides for different games for quick reference during a tournament. Is there any interest in such a thing (or does something already exist)? Would anyone be willing to help contribute strategy tips?

So what is everyone's strategy for going head-to-head with a better player? Do you choose a game that you are comfortable on? Do you choose a game that the player has been struggling on? Or do you choose a tough classics game and hope they get a couple house balls?
