Preston Pinball

Round 2 of the Northern Pinball League will be streamed live today on Iron Maiden. Join us from 1pm today

 
The streaming caught my absolute joy of getting 20m on the super secret skill shot that I never knew existed. About 32 minutes in. Rescued my awful play on that machine. They were all brutal.
 
Thanks. I see its private residences.
I just wondered if it was some local bar or place in Preston with pinball's I hadn't been aware of, but I can now see that isn't the case :-)
I think there is some confusion over which league you are referring to, as the link posted above is for the UK League whereas this thread is primarily about a different league - @windoesnot can you clarify please?
 
There are 2 "leagues" in the North. The long-standing Northern League which is part of the UK league and more recently formed Ian's (@windoesnot ) newly formed Mini league which meets regularly over the winter at Level in Preston. The mini league is more of a fun league with some unusual but interesting competition rules :). Ian has recently started streaming from both leagues along with various ad-hoc streams from people's houses. Yesterday's streaming was from the longstanding Northern League, so the link to UK Pinball was correct.
 
This is Level Preston

And current line up:

Draining the ball straight down an outlane is a "skill shot" PMSL.
 
That shot alone gave me an extra 8 game points yesterday. If I hadn't fluked it then I would have 12th instead of 9th on the day. That would have put me below you in yesterday's rankings @AlanJ :). PMSL

Thank you, yes this is what I was looking for info on, I was replying in general to the topic "Preston Pinball", not the leagues. Sorry for any confusion.
Great to see a Cactus Canyon at this place, I played this at Recbar in Louisville a couple of years ago when visiting Whitney. One of my favourite tables.
Will look to pay a visit next time I am there.

Hi mate,

The Preston Pinball fun league is at "Level" in Preston. Park at the main bus station car park and then it is just across the road in the Guild Hall building
It's a bar/mini golf/bowling/arcade place.
Hope to see you there
 
Last year my score was 24m, and that was with one 20m outlane skill shot. 🙈
Glad I played better this time, with it being recorded!

Send a note to @windoesnot and get on the next mini-league event at level which is on the evening of 19th March. I went last time and got there a few hours early to play the machines on "pay to play" (most are £1 per play or 3 plays for £2).
 
Sorry for the delay on this one, round 3 of the Northern League featuring Stern Jurassic Park. The phone cameras crapped out at the near 3 hour mark so not all games were recorded, it died during mine and Tims
