Providing fun pinball since Aug. 11th 2022

Week 3 of the Dayton Underground Pinball League brought us into the legendary basement battleground—Dave’s House of Pinball—and it absolutely delivered.

From the moment balls started flying on John Wick LE, Godfather LE, and a stacked lineup that just kept going, the vibe was clear: this was going to be one of those nights where anything could happen… and it did.

🎯 The Format is Hitting Its Stride

By Week 3, the new 1v1 format is starting to feel real.
You could see it in every round—players locked in, adjusting on the fly, and fighting for every single point.

• Random rounds kept things unpredictable
  
  

• Ranked rounds brought the pressure
  
  

• And by Round 6, every match meant something
  
  

No coasting. No easy paths. Just straight-up battles.

🔥 Standout Performances

🥇 James E – Perfect Night (24 Points)

James E came in and ran the table.
Six rounds. Six wins. No questions asked.

That’s the kind of night that turns heads and shakes up the standings.

🧠 Tom B & Brian S – Consistency Pays (21 Points)

Both Tom B and Brian S put together strong, steady nights, staying near the top across multiple rounds. No huge slip-ups, just clean pinball and smart play.

⚡ Aaron K & Glenn L – Efficiency Monsters (21 Points)

Here’s where it gets interesting:

• Aaron K: 21 points in just 36 possible
  
  

• Glenn L: 21 points in only 30 possible
  
  

These two made every opportunity count, and that kind of efficiency is dangerous as the season rolls on.

🪓 The Middle Pack is a WARZONE

Look at the cluster:

• William B, Dana S, David J, Ian K, Porter S all hovering around 18
  
  

• Multiple players sitting right behind at 15
  
  

This is where the league is being shaped. One big week can launch you up the standings… or bury you.

🎮 Game Highlights & Chaos Moments

Dave didn’t hold back with the lineup:

• Uncanny X-Men LE kept showing up and causing problems all night
  
  

• 007 Thunderball made multiple appearances and stayed unforgiving
  
  

• Alien and Jurassic Park separated the survivors from the casualties
  
  

• And of course… Weird Al and Ultraman brought just enough chaos to keep everyone guessing
  
  

Every round felt different. Every machine had a say.

🏠 Dave’s House = Pinball Heaven

Let’s be real—this place is stacked.

Wall-to-wall hitters. Clean games. Fast play.
It’s the kind of location that makes you want to stay all night… even after taking a tough loss.

Huge thanks to Dave for opening up his home and giving the league another unforgettable night.

❤️ Why This League Works

It’s not just the competition.

It’s the laughs after drains.
The reactions when someone pulls off a comeback.
The side conversations between rounds.

Thursday nights just hit different.

🚨 Looking Ahead

Three weeks in, and things are wide open.

• A perfect night can flip the standings
  
  

• The middle pack is stacked
  
  

• And nobody is safe
  
  

If Week 3 proved anything, it’s this:

You’re never out of it… until the last ball drains.

See you all next Thursday. Let’s run it back. 🎯
