Notable quotes
“The main premise really for this show is that we want to promote competitive pinball... people have got a thirst for more knowledge around what it takes to take that first step into playing in a tournament.”
“A Whopper is your World Pinball Player Ranking... Raymond Davidson at the time of this recording has almost 1150 Whopper points.”
“The biggest advice is get your software sorted. Now, matchplay.events is indispensable.”
“Whenever I've come first the previous month, that is when I feel that there's eyes on me and there's expectations. And that is usually when I choke.”
“The best player does not always win. That's exactly right... there's still chance for everybody. So you can beat anybody on the day.”
“I remember years ago, you know, turning up to a local arcade, and there being a pinball machine, brand new, that I knew nothing about... Those days are gone.”
“He came up to me prior to the last round and said, so what time do I have to be back for the Sunday comp because I'm not making the finals? But he had a blitzing last round... and ended up making the top 16.”
“All the rest went to at least four. Most of them went to five games. So that's how even the competition was.”
