👑Good luck to Roxanne Lewers as she competes at the Women's North American Pinball Championship in Colorado on Friday!

Not only is she super skilled at pinball, she is generous, a talented cook and charcuterie queen, and helps keep our women's pinball community together along with Andrea Hicks and Davia Gutierrez, who are traveling with Roxanne to cheer her on!

We'll be sending good pinball juju from Boise!

Congrats to Brie, Abby, and Kirby for the 1-2-3 finish in the Women's Division tournament. The tournament is always optional, we love meeting and flipping with all who attend the Belles & Chimes meetups!

Keela, the mystery green dessert was good! The salad bar was delicious with all the toppings players brought. Sharky, thank you for the salad bowls. Those were really cool.

Hey pinball friends! All of the 2025 tournament results have been processed. There are still a couple of unclaimed spots for the Womens' State Championship. One part of eligibility is to have an email on your IFPA profile. Please check your IFPA account and add your email address if needed. Then, let me know if you will or will not be attending on Sunday Jan 18. I will try my best to reach enough eligible players and fill all 16 spots.

If you know of anyone who would like to donate to the Women's State championship prize pool, please put them in contact with me. ~Dwayne
