Just wanted to say that I have attended several pinball shows in FL over the years with good intentions to play in the tournaments, but never did because of long lines to the machines (and no patience on my part). I'm happy to report that I finally played in a tournament this year. I'm not so happy that I sucked at it big time, but it was fun to compete (and choke) against the best players in the world. Congratulations and thanks to John and Dan for their hard work in implementing this new and efficient (no long lines!) system at the APE show!
