[FSPA] Preplays VUK

[timpet2]

VUK doesn't have a game played check off sheet but it is easy just to ask around because the games are all together. Not the case at VBH but the sheet is rarely acurate because people forget to mark their game when they finish.
One time at VBH, a lot of the people had already left and I made the mistake of not checking before starting a game. While on my last ball, a group was ready to play the game I was on. Instead of just letting me finish my ball, they demanded I stop immediately, tried to physically push me off the game and then turned the machine off.
If someone is playing a non-league game when my group is ready to play, I just let the person know. If they really want to finish their game, I just wait.

It is common courtesy, and checking the sheets to be sure is an excellent idea.
I'm just saying from experience that few people actually do that.

I’ve done exactly that, walked around and found out what games were being played.  And not as a league player, but happened to be there doing something else.  Just common courtesy.  The other issue is the rare group that finishes an hour later.  Most players assume by then that all groups are done.  It’s best just to walk around and check other groups if playing pre-plays after finishing your group. From: FSPA [mailto:fspa-bounces at fspazone.org] On Behalf Of Dave Hubbard via FSPA

Ergo, if someone wants to play pinball after they’re done playing league, they are perfectly welcome to do so.  Consideration would be nice in the simple form of asking remaining groups what games they have left and maybe avoiding those. I agree with you about casual play; league doesn't have precedence over that.  If you are preplaying though, you are still in the context of the league, and league should be able to kick you off if an actual league match needs to happen. Of course, the best solution is to check the sheets to see if the game you want to play is in conflict with remaining matches, but literally no one does that.         --- Dave
