Not the case at VBH but the sheet is rarely acurate because people forget to mark their game when they finish.</div><div dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><br></div><div dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">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.</div><div dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><br></div><div dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">If someone is playing a non-league game when my group is ready to play, I just let the person kno

If they really want to finish their game, I just wait.</div></div><div style="font-size: 10pt;"><div id="LGEmailHeader" dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><div dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><br></div><div dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">------ Original message------</div><div dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><b>From: </b>Dave Hubbard via FSPA <fspa@fspazone.org></fspa@fspazone.org></div><div dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><b>Date: </b>Thu, Sep 21, 2017 3:19 PM</div><div dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><b>To: </b>FSPA main discussion list;</div><div dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><b>Cc: </b>Dave Hubbard;</div><div dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><b>Subject:</b>Re: [FSPA] Preplays VUK</div><div dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><br></div></div><div dir="ltr">It is common courtesy, and checking the sheets to be sure is an excellent ide

sivity to the machines. Ergo, if someone wants to play pinball after they’re done playing league, they are perfectly welcome to do so.
