Fall 2021 Season is Here!

Welcome back to… LEAGUE PINBALL! FREE GIVEAWAY PINBALL MACHINE! FREE T-SHIRTS! PARTY! PRIZES! FUN!

All of our leagues are ready to start week #1 and get the Fall seasons officially underway!  We’re excited to get back to normality, and of course hoping that COVID doesn’t turn awful-er again.


Just a reminder that it is not too late to join any of our leagues!  It really helps us with week 1 setup if you register ahead of time… here are the registration links for all our locations:

MOM’shttp://fspa.league.papa.org/eventRegistration/92

Lost Rhinohttp://fspa.league.papa.org/eventRegistration/93

Mustang Sallyhttp://fspa.league.papa.org/eventRegistration/94

Ocelothttp://fspa.league.papa.org/eventRegistration/95

Spinnershttp://fspa.league.papa.org/eventRegistration/96

Note that every league except Spinners is starting week #1 THIS week.  Spinners is closed this Thursday, so week #1 there will be next Thursday, September 30.

In addition to having a blast competing at league pinball, and having the opportunity to win cash and prizes… everyone who completes the Fall season in any of our leagues gets all sorts of FREE goodies:


• Drawing entry for our giveaway gameJungle Lord!  This machine is on site at Ocelot right now, and we’ll be GIVING IT AWAY to a lucky winner after the conclusion of the Fall 2021 season!
• Free 25th Anniversary FSPA T-shirt!  YOU get a T-shirt, and YOU get a T-shirt… EVERYONE gets a T-shirt!  There have been several questions about this: yes, of course, we’ll be selling shirts (and/or hoodies and/or whatever else we wind up doing) to folks who don’t play this season, or folks who want more than their one free shirt.
• End of season party!  We will — hopefully — resume the usual end-of-season parties that you all know and love, a day of free food, free pinball, lots of fun!
• WPPR points, which… are pointy!

This season, all leagues have chosen to continue the summer’s experiment of dropping each player’s worst two (2) weeks, instead of allowing preplays.  If you miss a week or two for whatever reason, that 0 point total will obviously be one of your worst weeks and will be omitted from your point count for standings purposes (“Adjusted Points” as it’s shown on the score tracker).  If you have perfect attendance, your two lowest weeks will still be dropped, whatever those are.

As always, thanks for being part of the FSPA, none of this happens without you, the players.  Have a great Fall season!

Some things have changed for this season only:

• There will be no tickets earned toward the giveaway machine.
• There will not be an end of season party. Dues will be reduced $10 to accommodate.
• No WPPR points will be earned for league play, because WPPR is not online yet.

Don’t worry if you missed Week 0 – it’s optional anyway!  Hope we see you THIS THURSDAY June 10th for week 1!
