Kayla Greet
Kayla started the Babes in Pinland tournament in October 2013 with the goal of carving out a space for women in a predominately male scene. She has blazed a trail for many of Seattle's pinball ladies and created an environment of friendly competition where women feel encouraged to learn and grow as players.
Kayla also co-hosts the Skill Shot Pincast, a local pinball podcast. Episodes can be found on iTunes and Soundcloud.

Maureen Hendrix
Maureen was dragged to her first ever pinball tournament by a fellow Babe in September of 2016 and hasn't looked back since! When she's not playing the the Babes tournament you can find her working on the Board of Directors for Monday Night Pinball (Seattle's team league) or practicing her flipper skills at all her favorite pinball places around town.
