The Record

We track every ruling. We archive every final.

From Trent Augenstein's stuck-ball call at Pinburgh to the IFPA Rules Committee's 2025.08.10 update on ball search procedures — if it happened on a playfield that mattered, it lives here. Not a forum post. A record.

Every IFPA-sanctioned event since 2006 — rulings, results, and the arguments that followed.

The Community

You drove four hours for qualifying. We were there too.

League night at 1 a.m. Cold coffee. The ambient thump of a flipper hitting a post. The particular silence right before a skill shot attempt on a properly leveled Medieval Madness. This is that room, in print.

The Rankings

WPPR v6.2 changed everything. We explained it before anyone else.

Access and privilege distort rankings. WPPR v6.2 addressed it directly. We broke down exactly what changed, who it helps, and why Bowen Kerins' 59 all-time match play victories still mean something different than yours at 12.

The ranking system finally acknowledges that not everyone can fly to Pittsburgh four times a year.

I've been arguing about stuck ball rulings in Discord for three years. Finally somewhere to put it on record.

The Addams Family restoration took eight months. I need somewhere to write about it that isn't a Facebook group.
