[FSPA] FSPA: MOM's Organic Pinball Results for 09/17/2018 (Meet #1)

[Stephanie Traub]

Where someone misses a whole week without any preplays, then I maybe can
understand it since it’s more of a clear effort to sandbag. Clearly that’s
not what Tim was doing here. He is being rewarded for not playing a game.

So next week what if my group has to play WOZ, which gives me an itchy
rash, but the rest of my games are my faves. Can I “forfeit” woz and get
the two points? That’s prob better than what I’d get if I played :) if not,
how is that any different than what tim did?

Not trying to make a huge stink about it but it’s something maybe to think
about reconsidering some day....🤷🏻‍♀️
