CREDITS
This is where I got my first real taste of playing competitive pinball! Special thanks goes out to Jon Replogle (pictured at right), Jake Kolojejchick, Erin Kelly, Evan Bookbinder, James Emanuel, Pete & Virginia Hendricks, Greg DeFeo, Rob Sneed, Lewis Bevans, Alek Kaczmarczyk & many many others for taking their time to show me things that I would have never learned on my own. Another one of the must see pinball places in Pittsburgh!
Be sure to watch the entire series from this video on PAPA TV.
I've only been there once recently but it's run by great people (Doug Polka & Elizabeth Cromwell) and they always have a great selection of games that get rotated out on a regular basis. I just wish I had more time to get down there! If you're ever in Pittsburgh - make this one of your stops for sure!
What can I say...... The crew at Replay put on the greatest show on earth when it comes to pinball. I was fortunate enough to play & volunteer in the last one held in 2019 and with 1000 players, it run just like clock work. They helped me fulfill a live long dream of playing in a "big" pinball tournament - nothing like picking the largest one on the planet to do it. I just hope that things come back to life when all of this Covid crap blows over - they will be missed dearly.
I think almost everyone in this league owes the crew at PAPA TV a debt of gratitude. They have done so much for the pinball world with the tutorials that Bowen Kerins does to the weekly live broadcasts they used to do. It was quite an honor to be invited to be on what turned out to be the very last broadcast before Covid shut everything down. I will never forget that experience nor will I forget the fact that Petey Hendricks turned off the ball save on Breakshot exclaiming "we don't need no stinking ball save". Needless to say, my first ball on my first time in front of the camera was a house ball..... Thanks Petey!
OTHER VERY HONORABLE MENTIONS

FX3 WILLIAMS LEAGUE MEMBERS
Last but certainly not least, my sincere gratitude goes out to the fine people that have joined the league & the ones that have volunteered their time & energy to creating the tournaments for all of you to play in. If it wasn't for you - none of this would exist! This whole idea has been swirling around in my head for over a year and now I finally got the courage to try to make it happen. I hope everybody enjoys their time on here and comes back time and time again.
