About CFF

Posted: March 1st, 2007 by ROM

Crazy Flipper Fingers is based out of Portland, Oregon. There are 35 or so members in various locations across the states. Most members live in Portland. Meetings are generally every other Sunday at a location with multiple machines.

We also hold regular tournaments. Most are just casual ones – with an average of 20 people entering, paying $5, and then double eliminating one another. The tournaments are open to anyone, and they are listed a month ahead of time on the Events calendar (and on the pinballrankings calendar), as well as on the message board. At this point, these weekly tournaments have morphed into their own thing; technically they aren’t hosted by CFF anymore. But they are still the best opportunity to come out and play and have fun.

CFF has no central leadership – we pick our interests, and do our part to keep up with activities. Members are let in by initiation. However, we aim not to be exclusive and elitist – top skills are not the number one variable leading toward initiation; we are interested in action, heart, attitude, character, and so on. And you have to, of course, get along with us. (Also, you have to be willing, nay, eager, to give up your initials to put up CFF.) The one thing that unites us is a love for pinball. If you really want to know what we’re all about, I’d suggest playing some pinball with us. Come to a meeting, or tournament, or post on the message board and invite people to play with you.
