Season 12 Grand Finale: A Feast, a Fight, and a Finish for the Ages

Last night marked the perfect ending to Season 12 of the Dayton Underground Pinball League — a night that filled both stomachs and hearts. We gathered for a food celebration that could’ve fed a small army: tender ribs, pulled pork, green beans, baked beans, and a mountain of killer brownies that didn’t stand a chance.

After the feast came the friendly fire — our final pinball tournament of the season. The competition was fierce, the laughter loud, and the games electric. When the flippers settled and the scores were tallied, Tony Becker didn’t just win — he dominated. Not only did Tony capture the Season 12 League Championship, but he also claimed first place in the night’s final tournament. Twelve seasons of grinding, improving, and staying humble finally paid off with two first-place trophies in one unforgettable night.

Tom Bentley battled hard and finished strong in second, while Dana Studebaker, the man whose machines make our league possible, rounded out the podium in third. The full night’s results reflected just how deep and talented this community has become:

As the night wound down, stories were shared, laughs echoed across the machines, and everyone felt the bond that makes this league so special. Season 12 wasn’t just about pinball — it was about friendship, food, and the shared joy of the game we love.

Congratulations, Tony Becker — our double champion.
And thank you to every player who made Season 12 one to remember.

Here’s to the next season, more great food, and even better flips. 🎱🎉🕹️
