    We've been back to public social pinball meets around these parts since July. The cold went through here, seems plenty had it.

    Countries should be making their own call based on individual situation, but anyway, meh. Some regions could be afflicted for years yet depending on demographic, actions, and health. "International" does not mean the structure couldn't have been carried on for open countries individually, and stopping the "championship" at any national level.

    It's a bit silly to hold back entire countries that are open, just because other countries still decide to not have official tournaments.

    I went with never. We'll just continue with doing our own thing here without sanctioning, which is fine anyway really.

    Quoted from WJxxxx:

    ...
    IF (and I have no reason to believe this will happen) IFPA where to start sanctioning events and issuing WPPRs before close to 100% of people could attend AND travel to, I for one would never host/organise a sanctioned event again.

    I think people will just move on, with or without, doesn't matter... most are in it for Pinball, not for points.

    Quoted from WJxxxx:

    I agree, I certainly miss the social aspect far more than the WPPRs, but reading on here not everybody feels the same way.
    I don't understand the clamour to get WPPRs and sanctioned events so quickly?

    Remembering the people whom don't care about "sanctioning" or "wpprs" usually wouldn't even visit this sort of thread. They are the vast majority in the pinball world as well, but the slim minority in here.
