Just bought my ticket reservation for 2019. Fantastic show last year with some great guys providing support throughout the event. Hope at least the morning tournament happens again since it bought you an extra six hours of awesome gameplay! If it doesn’t, is there a possibility of the show opening before 4? Perhaps a VIP option?

Quoted from cfh:Just a heads up... There's a new cook this year at the VFW. the old cook has to go to some kid's graduation from UofM... new cook is younger and more energetic. but this is his first run, so i don't know how those beans will stack up... old cook's beans were pretty good. hoping new guy holds that bar.
Just keep those burger patties coming. Going for another quad burger this year!

I am absolutely game for both. Both tournaments were a lot of fun last year and I was able to meet a lot of good dudes. Clay, should we just check this topic for the tournament update or should I refresh your website every two hours? 
Quoted from j_m_:as far as I know, we *will* be holding an e.m. tournament on friday
plans for saturday evening are still up in the air (last year literally kicked my ass and I was beat after two 12+ hour days. I guess I'm not young anymore
Physically you looked great and you kept your humor solid till at least 10:30
Quoted from j_m_:this is an additional tourney that we are considering. the EM world pinball tourney will still occur on friday before the show starts
I really enjoyed the Saturday tournament last year. Game selection was great and so was the group. I think the only flaw with it was the winner would be put in the queue instead of the loser. If you lost then you had to play someone who won their match. It was pretty easy to get on a 8+ game winning streak that way if you found yourself in the “winner’s row.” I would make it to where a winner had to play a previous winner. That way you wouldn’t see huge streaks for either side. I vote for this again!
Quoted from Puffdanny:Maybe a high score tournament on predator
I did not see this last year. Is it hidden away?
Quoted from tmontana:You will always have a winner playing a loser. Not sure how you could have winners playing winners without leaving the losers sitting in the queue forever??
There were four chairs for the winners. Winner 1 sits in the chair loser 1 waits. Next match result occurs, winner 2 comes back and gives their chip. They play the next winner in line. Just make a winner chair row and loser chair row. Winners plays winners, losers play losers.
Quoted from tmontana:So in this scenario who goes to the back of the lines?
It’s just creating two separate rows. If there is nobody sitting then loser sits chair one of his row and winner sits chair 1 of his row. Next people that come back, match winner with winner and loser with loser. More games that way. I’m just happy to play longer so I’m cool with whatever if it gets me an extra few hours Saturday.

Yea “losing” all three of your games gives you the best opportunity to play whatever you want. Highly recommended!

I was unable to find a decent flight out Sunday so I have a Sunday show ticket and an extra Friday EM tournament ticket available for the first person who wants it.
Quoted from Pinballogist:I just found out that I would be able to attend this show, but tickets are sold out? Does anyone know what the chances are of getting in for any of the days? Always have a great time at this event, it's close by and would love to get more involved! Cheers!
I still have a Sunday show ticket and Friday EM ticket available.
