IFPA Op-Ed: WPPR Top 250 and IFPA November Update from Bob Matthews
Less than 6 weeks to go, folks! We've had the last two big events for this year, the Swedish Championships [congratulations, Jorian!] and PAPA circuit event, the Southern Pinball Festival [congratulations, Steven!]. Several players have made their moves into IFPA or Stern Rewards contention. Will YOU be next?
Here's the update on the Race for the $tern 250. Moving up to 240th or better from below the cut line recently were:
Mark Steinman [253 to 139]
Serge Darbellay [276 to 189]
Fred Cochran [265 to 198]
Marcus Stix [318 to 204]
Vincent Carlier [287 to 206]
Vincent Carlier [287 to 206]
James Vierra [279 to 210]
Escher Lefkoff [340 to 226]
Frank Goeltl [258 to 233]
Mats Holmqvist [256 to 234]
As before, some other players crept over the 250 mark, but remain at risk of being passed by year-end, as do those ranked 240 or higher with points about to "decay."
In the IFPA race, these players jumped into contention; as always, the IFPA cutoff depends on who chooses to attend:
Mario Anzini [178 to 99]
Jon Repogle [137 to 108]
Danny Backglass Belrose [138 to 118]
Rene van Gool [160 to 119]
Oliver Renders [176 to 122]
Cryss Stephens [159 to 123]
Robert Von Keller [172 to 128]
Here's the latest on the point situation; it's still looking like it will take about 100 points to get your $tern Rewards. By the way, since PAPA, you'd need to have increased your WPPR point count an average of 5.6% just to maintain your rank for most positions in the top 250. So, if you're not out there competing, people are going to pass you!
