Leagues
Your mates, your local's regulars, or whoever turns up on a Tuesday. Log the scores, keep a running table, and nobody needs an IFPA rank to join in. None of it counts towards anything official, which is rather the point.
A league
You’re hereStill your lot, with a bit more shape to it: a night that comes round again, a season that ends, and everyone agreeing how it’s scored.
- Seasons you start and finish, so last year’s table stays as a record instead of running forever.
- Say how it’s scored: a running ladder, top score on each machine, pinball golf, or match play if you do proper nights.
- A home pub or arcade, if you all play in the same place. It turns up on that venue’s page.
- Open to newcomers, if you fancy it, so regulars you haven’t met yet can find you.
Setup: a name, how it’s scored, who can join
A group
Just the people you already play with: mates, family, the four of you who go on a Thursday. Nothing to organise.
- No season, and nothing to decide about scoring. Log what you get and the tables build themselves.
- A board per machine: everyone’s best, so you can see who actually holds what.
- Where you’re weakest, machine by machine against the others. That’s your practise list.
- Private. You invite people with a short code; nobody outside can see it.
Setup: two questions
Start a group →Underneath they’re the same thing: a group is a league with the setup questions answered for you. Everything above is a default, not a decision: you can add a venue, change the scoring, go public or switch a group to a league later, and nothing you’ve logged is affected.
You log your own scores here, and it all stays well clear of IFPA ranks and ratings.
