We're kicking things off by laying out our Top Bottom Five list...the pinball machines we think are the worst of all time. You'll hear us talk about one that's just totally pointless, another that's so old and clunky it should've been scrapped, and the one we're crowning the worst ultra-modern machine out there. We'll even tell you which game got a last-minute save from being on the list!Then, we're making a massive announcement: the Punk Rock Pinball Association (PRPA) is being born!If you've ever thought the current competitive pinball scene is too serious, too complicated, or just too focused on players in big cities, you get it. We want the PRPA to be the fun, inclusive, alternative.  An association focused on maximum fun and maximum participation for the novice and intermediate player. Our goal is to reward the grind by counting all your tournament scores and growing the community in a way that’s actually enjoyable.Want to Help Us Build This Thing?We can't do this alone! We need dedicated folks to help us figure this out.If you're an experienced tournament player, we need your input to design the most fun and fair formats (and finally ditch those ridiculously long endgame rounds).If you're a talented web developer, we need your help building the website, leaderboards, and player database.You can email Mike at mike(at)livefromtherockroom(dot)com to join the team! If you just want to support the dream, grabbing a hoodie or t-shirt is a huge help toward funding the project.Let's make this happen!Join our Facebook group -  https://www.facebook.com/groups/punkrockpinballGet your PRP Merch!! - https://anxiousandangry.com/collections/punk-rock-pinballDiscover some new music on the PRP playlist! - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0T3WsFYqgz8L4hZE4RVCcg?si=gLY738v7RtOi-_ZqBBrRTQFind Local Tournaments - https://www.ifpapinball.comhttps://app.matchplay.events/tournamentsFind Amazing Pinball Locations - https://pinballmap.com
