Joshua Sharpe (right)
Josh's contributions to competitive pinball started with the creation of the Illini Pinball Association in 1998 on the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign campus. From there Joshua created the PinBrawl World Team Pinball Championships, held at Pinball Expo in Chicago each year since 1999. This was the first competitive pinball event to feature 4 player teams, which still continues to this day. In the Spring of 2006, with the help of many players and enthusiasts, Joshua created the World Pinball Player Rankings and resurrected the defunct International Flipper Pinball Association.
