🎟️ Perfect Nights Just Got a Whole Lot More Valuable — DUPL Season 16 Rolls Through Dave’s!

Thursday night brought the Dayton Underground Pinball League back to Dave’s incredible lineup for another six rounds of Season 16 action, and this week came with a little extra announcement that could change the way DUPL nights are played in the future.

🪙 INTRODUCING THE PERFECT NIGHT TOKEN!

Going forward, perfection comes with a reward.

Any player who manages to pull off a PERFECT NIGHT will earn themselves a Perfect Night Token.

And what does that token do?

Starting next season, a player may cash in one of their earned tokens to CHOOSE THE GAME you want to play for one round.

Yep.

No random draw.

No staring at the screen hoping you don’t see the one game you absolutely hate.

You earned perfection.

You earned the choice.

One token. One round. Your game.

Suddenly going undefeated isn't just about bragging rights anymore. A perfect night could give you a serious weapon to keep in your pocket for next season.

And if you know DUPL players, you already know those tokens are going to become precious commodities.

🎯 SIX ROUNDS AT DAVE’S

Dave once again gave everyone plenty to choose from Thursday night, with an absolutely stacked collection spreading players across classics, modern Sterns, Jersey Jack, Spooky and everything in between.

We saw battles on:

Harry Potter CE, Alien, John Wick LE, Uncanny X-Men LE, Scooby-Doo LE, The Godfather LE, Iron Maiden, Jurassic Park, The Walking Dead, Avengers: Infinity Quest, Foo Fighters, Venom LE, Guardians of the Galaxy, Avatar, The Big Lebowski, High Hand and plenty more.

Basically, if you couldn't find something you liked Thursday night…

Dave probably had another 30 machines somewhere waiting for you.

🔥 THE TOP OF THE STANDINGS IS GETTING CROWDED

After the dust settled, Brian S continues to hold the top spot with 60 points.

But there is absolutely no breathing room.

Diane S sits right behind him with 57, while a four-player traffic jam has formed at 54 points:

Aaron K — 54
Tom B — 54
Tony B — 54
William B — 54

Six players separated by only six points.

That is nothing in DUPL.

One monster night can completely rearrange the leaderboard.

Behind that group, things aren't much calmer.

Andrew “Muffins” S, Mitch R, Teresa R and Tom L are all sitting at 48 points, meaning we've got another pack of players waiting for somebody ahead of them to stumble.

Then comes Rob A at 45, followed by Matt J and Zach S at 39.

In other words…

There is no safe spot.

👀 EVERY ROUND MATTERS NOW

We're reaching the point of the season where those little moments start becoming big ones.

That ball you save from draining.

That multiball you finally start.

That horrible game where you somehow grind out just enough points.

That opponent who walks up and absolutely nukes the machine before you've even plunged Ball 1.

It all matters.

And with the announcement of the Perfect Night Token, players now have another reason to push every single matchup as far as they can.

Because finishing a night undefeated already feels good.

Finishing undefeated and knowing you just earned the ability to walk into a future league night and say…

“Nah. We're playing THIS.”

That's even better.

🏁 CURRENT TOP 10

1. Brian S — 60

2. Diane S — 57

3. Aaron K — 54

4. Tom B — 54

5. Tony B — 54

6. William B — 54

7. Andrew “Muffins” S — 48

8. Mitch R — 48

9. Teresa R — 48

10. Tom L — 48

That leaderboard is ridiculously tight, and Season 16 is nowhere close to settled.

A huge THANK YOU to Dave for once again opening up the collection and giving DUPL another fantastic night of pinball.

Season 16 rolls on…

And now there’s one more question everyone needs to ask themselves:

🪙 WHO'S GETTING THE NEXT TOKEN?

See everyone next week!
