Quoted from billclinton:Are men allowed to play in IFPA women’s tournaments?
Trick question. IFPA won't sanction any tournament that restricts players for any reason. Gender, age, ranking, whatever. No points for you! They may 'endorse' these tournaments, but no points are awarded. So if you're thinking about switching teams to get a leg up, it won't work.
This is a colossally stupid thread.
Quoted from billclinton:There was a women’s tournament this weekend with a very nice person that “switched teams”, as phishrace calls it so I’m wondering if that is fair or not to the other people that joined a women’s tournament that did not “switch teams.”
There are a several reasons why it would be fine. The no points thing I mentioned above. The fact that any physical advantage that men may have at other sports doesn't carry over to pinball. You don't have to be physically big to kick ass at pinball. Lastly, the sport of pinball is very inclusive. That, the good sportsmanship and the comradery is what keeps me competing.
Their are women's leagues all over the country, if you think you might be up for league. Look for Bells and Chimes at the link below. Good luck and hope to see you out there.
