Lots of things are happening down at PAPA HQ. We’ve officially kicked Bowen out and have locked the doors so we can start setting things up for the upcoming World Pinball Championships August 11-14. To pre-register for the tournament, click here. The games are going to be wheeled into place shortly, and Steve and the other techs are hard at work getting everything ready.

In other news, the PARS ranking system is going through a series of updates. There was a backlog of data from the past two years, and it is being entered over the next few weeks. We expect to be up to date shortly and plan on keeping the system running smoothly. If any of you league managers or tournament directors have PARS data to send, feel free to email us. The PARS pinball system takes into account every match that is played during a competitive season, tournament, or challenge match. As a player, if you win in week 5, it matters. If you lose in week 6, it makes a difference. So even if you’re on top of your league’s rankings or all the way at the bottom, play hard every time you pull the plunger. Check here for the current rankings, and expect more updates.

And while we’ve officially kicked Bowen out, that doesn’t mean we won’t have videos. We took the time to film a bunch and will be editing them over the coming weeks. For starters, here’s The Addams Family!
