Pinball is a community sport. Most cities have at least one pinball bar with a weekly tournament. The same sorts of people go every week, and there are always beginners joining.

I've met people at pinball tournaments who have found the confidence to move because they knew they'd meet new friends at the pinball tournament in wherever they're moving to.
