Anyone still waiting to see how things are shaking out before they declare?
I’m still slowly but surely filling in the spots in the Vermont bracket. We have both a bit more interest and more players this year compared to last year, but the NEPL results continue to make it so I need to dig relatively far down the list.
It looks like at least a couple out-of-staters will be making the trip north on 2/13. I’ll try to make sure everybody has a good time, and I’ll certainly hope the weather cooperates.

              Missouri, I turned down Kansas, Georgia, and Texas.
Call me crazy, I’d like to win where I live.

              Take a look at my IFPA profile and take a guess how many invite emails I’ve gotten so far.http://www.ifpapinball.com/player.php?p=2623 
Did you take a guess? The actual answer is below.
.
2 (out of 8)
Let me break it down for you:
Rhode Island: Invites coming soon, per the coordinator. But nothing yet. 
Vermont: Yup, I sent myself one. 
Maine: Doing this via FB rather than email, it appears. Or maybe email will happen after the FB survey, but that seems kind of wrong. 
New Hampshire: The coordinator apparently skipped me because he knows I’m running Vermont. 
Connecticut: Yup. Nice job, Jim. 
Massachusetts: The coordinator apparently skipped me because he knows I’m running Vermont. 
Nevada: I assume I’d be able to play there based on the number of out-of-staters in the field, but no email. [Update: Got my NV email! Woo.] 
Quebec: I either got skipped or this was FB-only. 
 
So, if you guessed that I got 2 emails out of what should have most likely been 8, you’d be right.
Update: Up to 3. And it definitely seems like Maine is just doing FB

I’ll be playing in CT even though I have more than double the WPPR points in NY. 
Won’t be getting an invite for NY though, I didn’t play in SuperLeague enough

              Happy to have all you New Yorkers here in CT. 14 confirmed so far. 22% New York players so far.

I got an email from you!
 
 
I always thought you were from CT, because I think I’ve only seen you at the Sanctum and maybe PinWiz.
NY is crazy. VT is kind of the opposite in a bunch of ways, though it does look like we’ll have a handful of players from other states on 2/13.

              Looks like a split field, WV vs PA.   Will be fun to watch.
