Welcome to the most fun on a Thursday night you can have!
Week 3 of Season 15 took the Dayton Underground Pinball League to Dana's house, and what a night it turned out to be. With an incredible lineup of machines, great company, and plenty of laughs, everyone in attendance was reminded why home locations are always some of the best nights of the season.
Tony B stole the spotlight, putting together the first perfect night of Season 15. A flawless 24-point performance pushed him to 63 points overall and strengthened his grip on first place. Mike H and Brian S continue to apply pressure, both scoring 18 points on the evening to remain within striking distance.
Aaron K matched the 18-point effort and climbed into fourth place overall, while Dan S also posted 18 points and kept himself firmly in the hunt. One of the night's biggest surprises came from newcomer Joshua S, who exploded onto the scene with an impressive 21-point debut. If Week 3 is any indication, the rest of the league better take notice.
The middle of the standings continues to be a traffic jam. David J, Tom B, and Zach S are all tied at 51 points, while Glenn L and Matt J sit just behind at 48. With five weeks still to go, every point matters and no one is out of contention.
Dana's lineup provided plenty of variety, featuring classics like Scared Stiff, Theatre of Magic, Getaway, and Medieval Madness alongside modern favorites such as Jaws LE, Godzilla Premium, Rush LE, and Stranger Things Premium. Even Black Water 100 and Gold Wings got their share of action throughout the night.
A huge thank you goes out to Dana for once again opening up the game room and hosting another fantastic league night. The hospitality, machines, and atmosphere made for an unforgettable evening. Week 3 proved once again that DUPL isn't just about the standings—it's about hanging out with friends, talking trash, and enjoying some of the best pinball around.

We'll see everyone next week for another six rounds of pinball and another chance to shake up the standings. If Week 3 taught us anything, it's that nothing in Season 15 is settled yet.
