Jeff Teolis interviews Josh Sharpe (IFPA president) about the impact of COVID-19 on competitive pinball, IFPA tournament sanctioning decisions, and how both are adapting their personal play styles during lockdown. They discuss the ICR (online pinball challenges) gaining 500+ players, IFPA's cautious reopening strategy (only 10.6% of North American venues cleared), and Pinball Expo uncertain status. The conversation ranges from game-playing philosophy shifts to competitive mindset and mental resilience in tournament play.
