We had a busy day on Saturday with our sixth and final league session in the morning - several people who had only attended 3 meets this season were desperate to get their scores in for 1pm, and there was lots of movement in the overall standings!

Pete led the table with an impressive 398 points, followed closely by Nathan with 397 - and Reece just managed to sneak in at 8th with 378 points!
In the afternoon, we had the finals, held as a double elimination bracket - a series of head to head games played as best of three, with the top seed choosing the first game (and playing first) and the lower seed choosing the second game and playing first. The third game, if needed, was chosen by the top seed. This made for some exciting games throughout the day!

The final was Reece v Nathan, with Nathan choosing Scared Stiff for his first game. The pressure was definitely on in this final round as Nathan won on Scared Stiff with just 4 million. Reece then chose NBA Fastbreak - a brave choice, as a few months ago he'd scored just 2 points on NBA in the league! Reece scored a very respectable 149, but Nathan just managed to squeeze by him, letting the ball drain when he hit 150 points.
Congratulations to
@NateG119,
@OTRawrior and
@AndyB who came in 3rd. A special shoutout too to
@David_Vi who was the only person in the finals to win a game against Nathan on the Shadow (David's pick)!
Thank you so much to everyone who has joined in with the Pinball Office league this year - as well as a huge thank you to
@Hiltoncriss for letting me run events at the Office throughout the year. We had 18 people qualify for IFPA points this season (with the minimum 3 sessions). I look forward to seeing you all again when the league restarts in the new year on Saturday 6th January - and hope we can get even more of you along!
