PSPR - August Summary

I’ve been away for a few weeks to spend my time running the 2022 New York City Pinball Championships. If you didn’t make it this year, you missed out on the best pinball tournament in the world. To amplify your FOMO (fear of missing out) I have added some pictures of the event.

Photos: Nancy Chandross. Full event video coverage can be found on Backhand Pinball’s YouTube Channel.

We can’t wait to see everyone again in May 2023!

In power ranking news:

Several players saw a huge jump in the power rankings from NYCPC. These players include: Jack Tadman, Shannon Stafford, and NYCPC Champion Bill Mason.

Andrei Massenkoff jumped up to 26th in the power rankings after his victory at City Champ.

David Daluga collected an early harvest at the farm, with players Jason Werdrick, Josh Sharpe, Walt Wood, Brian Shepherd, Alberto Santana, and Adam McKinnie additionally putting on great performances.
