I disagree. We see increasing numbers of people who stumble into competitive pinball through one of those $5 weeklies, or through a league like FSPA, and get totally hooked. Then they hear at league night that there’s this amazing Pinburgh tournament coming up, it’s an entire league season compressed into a weekend, so much fun, you gotta try it! So this excited player is sitting there at 11:59:59 with the rest of us, finger poised on Refresh. This is exactly the sort of player that I hope gets a Pinburgh ticket so they get further drawn into the community... that’s how the next generation of players is established.
