  • Many events were cancelled in 2020 including Replay FX and Texas Pinball Festival due to the pandemic.

  • Jeff Teolis won a tournament at the Pinball Profile World Tour event in Australia and has repeatedly mentioned it.

Notable quotes

Award shows are just like the reach-arounds. You can never have too many, and you usually have to pay to get them.
Martin Robbins
The pin bar really is something that I didn't know I needed until I started using it. And when I'm playing a game that doesn't have it, sometimes I will catch myself glancing down to find information that I want.
Steven Bowden
We all know that capitalism is better than democracy. I would like to thank Jeff and Marty and accept this award on behalf of the Underground Pinball Twitch channel.
Brad Hopkins
Top Rope Pinball is moving close to its 100th episode and has done more than 30 wrestler introductions. It truly is awesome to be different than Josh Sharpe and win the first place award.
Robert Byers
I'm delighted to accept this award, and thank you so much for tirelessly trying to raise the bar in pinball broadcasting and content creation.
Laura Fraley
I actually feel like a golden globe winner I'm writing an acceptance speech for this award that I've paid for but look I really just wanted to thank Jeff for acting like a complete dick all year about his win.
Greg Sealby
I've been to Melbourne before and I plan on coming back. So watch your back there, kid.
Jeff Teolis
Less than one year ago, I was new to the pinball media. In fact, I had never played in a pinball competition...But after several episodes of Jessie J's Pinball Adventure, I now know everything about pinball machines, podcasting, and single men.
Jessie J
First, I want to thank Martin and Jeff for the reach around and allowing me to buy my first trophy in pinball. And to be honest, the only one I'll ever win.
Rob Frost
this is by far the best award I've had to buy myself this past year. And when Jeff told me it was the cheapest award in the industry to purchase, honestly, I just couldn't resist.
