PAPA and PAPAtv New Website

Check out the newly launched PAPA and PAPAtv website. There is a pretty extensive video section on basic skills, tournament play and specific game tutorials which are great if you want to learn all the ins and outs. I'm definitely going to be tuning in on Oct 23, 2013 @ 7pm EST to watch Bowen shoot an Indianpolis 500 tutorial video

They've added a GAME NOTES section, giving reasons why some games are good for tourneys, while others are not:

I was browsing some of the NOT GOOD games, and came across one of the more humorous ones:

• Spectrum
  
  Bally – 1981
  
  Tournament Issues: Do Not Use Spectrum!
  
  Setup Notes: Remove legs, bolts, fold down the head, and wheel it back to the truck.
  
  Lock Stealing: No
  Preferred Software Revision:
  Reasonable Competition Game: No
  

:lol:

I LOVE watching live streams of pinball events. Such a valuable tool for our growing hobby in my opinion.

New tutorial up for Indy 500: http://papa.org/2013/10/23/indianapolis-500-tutorial/

Not a game I've played too often, since you don't find many out there, but it's pretty neat. Also nice to see the multi-camera setup is back for the videos-these can't be quick to produce.

I just finished watching it the Indy 500 tutorial and looking forward to more of these from PAPA TV. I learned a few new things and can't wait to try them on my game this weekend.
