Chicago Belles, SF/Oakland Belles and seemingly the entire Pacific Northwest have removed IFPA sanctioning from their tournaments.
More and more places do not feel comfortable sanctioning.
How is this not setting off alarm bells at the IFPA? How is their response to continue to punish players??

Pinball lives in Chicago. It was born and raised there. And the Chicago Belles do not feel comfortable with IFPA sanctioning anymore.
Please let the gravity of that sink in!
Something has to give.
