Hey, remember Pinburgh?
« on: September 27, 2019, 11:35:34 AM »
The points are up!

Coming in at a dreadful 764th place, me: https://www.ifpapinball.com/tournaments/view.php?t=34625 I still had a great time and would recommend everyone try it at least once.

Your other Florida Fan Favorites at a glance:

Al at 510th
Sebastian at a good 258th
Stone at 19th (Nice try, Eric! Hey, you beat Zach.)
Leon with a great 350th
Brian D. with a strong 238th
David Paz at 465th
Ron at 426th
Bill Kurtz at 653rd
Dan Spolar at 867th
Donny at 584th
Owlnonymous at a great 308th
Skyler a nice 371st
Tatiana and Dagmar are at the bottom of the page, but they still pushed hard in competition! Good for them!


Others you may remember:

Howard Levine at 258th
Sunshine at 341st (I finally got to meet her!)
Sanjay at 204th (Well, maybe only I remember Sanjay pretty well, Ron.)


Other people I like!

Louise and Eric Wagensonner finished tied at 164th
The Immortal Steve Epstein at 926th (and I got to meet him! Another great honor!)
Roger Sharpe at 281st (who should have a street named after him or something)
Koi Morris at 753rd (whom I got to play one round - another nice memory tied to pinball history)
Deborah Tahlman at 456th
Jack Danger at 308th (He was cool to me!)
Keri Wing at a huge 94th (I played her in the Women's Tournament.)
Bob Matthews at 81st


And others you may not know about:

Gavin MacAlpine at 933rd - Keep an eye on this kid! If he grows into anything like dad he's going to be fierce.


Did I forget anyone? I hope not.

Terrible that I forgot these folks! I remember Anthony had a great run in Division E and finished 27th there. Kirby in 32nd within Division C.

Lol. I need to improve my reading comprehension... I can't forget Dan's awesome support in the Woman's tournament! I should file Dan under "People I Like To Have in My Corner". Great job, Dan!

There is an interesting butterfly effect from Pinburgh.

In a perfect world, the results would be immediate and show the new changes is ranking and rating.

But the results usually take a while to post and meanwhile many other tourneys happen with many of the players in Pinburgh of course playing elsewhere.

Those other results usually post much faster and show the changes in ranking and rating based on what is known at the time. However the tourney value, rankings and ratings are not 100% accurate because any effects from Pinburgh still have not been accounted for.

When the Pinburgh results post, there is typically another change in all the subsequent WPPR, ranking and rating results that follow.

I noticed some of my results changed (for the better) and I was not at Pinburgh. :)

Nice summary! That was the best I have played at all the Pinburghs I have attended. It's my favorite tournament/event of the year, and I will attend every one that I can. Go Florida!
