League is back for the Spring!
Returning members have first dibs on available spots, so new members must join the waiting list. To do so, express your interest by emailing roanokepinballleague@gmail.com. Please do not send money for dues unless asked to do so. As the number of available spots become known, you will be contacted in waitlist order.
League runs every other Monday, beginning March 13. Format is Best Game. Everyone will play the same 8 games, in groups of 3 or 4, and your scores will be ranked against everyone else’s in the league. Groups and machines are randomized each week, and each player’s lowest two nights’ scores are dropped.
After 6 weeks, an A and B division will be determined. At the end of 8 weeks, the top 4 players in each division will compete in a playoff competition for final rankings and prize money. For everyone not in the playoffs, a knockout tournament and pizza party will be held.
League dues are $25 for the season. A $5 admission to the museum will be required each session in lieu of coin drop (waived for RPM VIP Patrons). Returning league members can send their dues to roanokepinballleague@gmail.com via Paypal (Friends & Family).
