Why I Retired From Competitive Pinball Tournaments

In summer 2023, I made the decision to retire from all competitive pinball tournaments. I did so because I had reached a conclusion that my experiences had changed and pinball tournaments were no longer fun for me.

In this video I take a humorous look at some of the way pinball tournaments have changed and everything I liked and disliked about tournaments over my 10 years of playing. Everything is just for fun and about my personal experience. Overall, I do think that tournaments are great overall and they provide awesome social and community experiences.
