    Quoted from ForceFlow:

    Because this is a smaller show, there will not be a dedicated bank of pinball machines set aside for the tournament. So, there is a question on the game registration form that will ask for permission to include your game(s) in the pinball tournament, or have an option to opt out.

    Cool! I always wish shows would make more use of the amount of games they have on the floor for their tournaments. No idea what but I'll definitely bring something in for the tournament

    Great, I'll look forward to it!

    I need to make more bad decisions between now and then so I'll have more machines to bring...

    I feel like requiring the flippers to just 'work' is a low bar. For a good score they shouldn't have slop, be strong, etc.

    Is it okay to bring a game that's not registered? I might be picking one up friday night...

    Quoted from jrpinball:

    EM guys wake up! C'mon, let's get some more EMs to this show!

    I've been purposely trying not to bring any this time

    Seemed like they were the majority last year and not getting as much play as the newer

    OP
    Quoted from ForceFlow:

    They seemed to get a decent amount of play, but they just didn't have groups of people clustered around them like some of the newer & flashier games.
    I would be interested to see what the play counts will be at this show. I'll try to remember to clear or check those on my games when setting them up and share them afterwards.

    Everyone remember to get your playcounts. All the data!

    Are you still planning on trying to intersperse older and newer games?

    I had specific instructions on the game, but that didn't help much.

    no one reads instructions

    OP
    Quoted from ForceFlow:

    Maybe place arrows with text that say "1: Press here", 2: Then Press Here"? Or maybe just contain the numbers?

    One of our local barcades tried that and most people still didn't pay attention. Giant stickers on the lock down bar with arrows and instructions, and people just sit there hitting random buttons. I don't get it
