Quoted from mman23:This would be an awesome event if there were WPPR points. Without them it sounds like I am just paying another $20 to play the same machines I could play during the regular showcase. Doubt I will make the drive without WPPR points.
Petition the WPPR to award points for distance driven. 8-)
Quoted from Whysnow:please do and then we can have a beer and enjoy the limited access to the main event before everyone else comes in.
VFW has 2 NBA Fast Breaks linked together you and Silver Spinner and go head to head!
Quoted from robotron911:It's $20! Who the hell bitches about $20!!!!
Well lets see what the $20 does get you.
You get tournament play PLUS early entry to the Friday Showcase.
Up to 64 players will have access to ALL of the showcase games before the Showcase opens. Note the Showcase open to regular ticket holders at 4 P.M. Or about 3-4 hours of play depending on your skill vs opponents.
After 4 PM regular admission ticket required.

As a member of the Ann Arbor Pinball Museum, willing to help out, I sent an Email to the WPPR to inquire what had to be done to make the tournament qualify for WPPR points...
A MONTH AGO, STILL NO RESPONSE.
Quoted from ifpapinball:Where did you send the email, because I don't show having received one.
Hilton pretty much nailed the requirements!

With a limit of 64 players would this be an "open" tournament.
Quoted from cfh:the $20, no wppr, no payout, is to keep tournament money guys like silver_spinner away. no really, that's the reason... i'm not kidding... ok maybe i'm kidding a bit.
the whole purpose of the ann arbor pinball show is to raise money to fund the museum for the year. the place doesn't exist for free. the property isn't free. the taxes aren't free. the electric isn't free. the heat isn't free. the insurance isn't free. the games didn't restore themselves or buy themselves. the parking lot doesn't plow itself and the grass doesn't cut itself.
aside from that the $20 EM tourney gets you into the show before it opens. so if the tournament has 25 people, they have the run of the entire facility with them and only them in the building. in addition of course the fun aspect of playing your friends in EM pinball for fun (which a lot of tournament guys seem to miss that point) and a big goofy trophy.
I will donate a $10.00 gift card from AUTO ZONE to go with that BIG GOOFY TROPHY !!!
