I think I'm going to go tonight. I can download Lost and watch it later. I guess.

What is the format of a PPL meeting?

Or, for that matter, the format of a CFF meeting?

Similar to a tournament, sans buy-in/winnings?
So much for a friendly topic...

The format to a PPL meeting is you play four machines. That's really all there is to it.

There is no format to a CFF meeting.

All you have to do at PPL is pay for your games. You get ranked on your scores and awarded boints for the night. The PPL guys keep a running total of your boints over the season. They throw a tourney at the end of the season, and your rank determines your seed in the tourney.

and the rank doesn't matter for jack, since seeding in a pinball tournament, especially seeding based off voluntary casual play over the course of months, is essentially totally arbitrary. Plus the calculations for rankings seem to be weighted in a weird way (not enough penalty for not showing up). I've won the final tournament starting as the dead last seed. And I've lost it starting in first.

Which leaves us with: play four machines.
