I don't see tickets for the tourney on your page??
Also, this sounds like a BLAST!

My buddy and I are IN.

I would like it to be for WPPR points, but can also understand the reasons to not.
$20 seems like a fair price. Would be great to offer a food add-on for an additional $10. Always nice to not have to worry about food when playing in a day long event.
I like whacky trophies, but suggest prizes go deeper than top 2 in a field of 64. Even certificates are fun/cheap, but something to shoot for that is realistic for normal people.
Maybe do a consilation bracket for the first 8 people to get knocked out completely. Some people are going to get blasted in the first 3 rounds and be done after 45 min. It is always fun to let those people have a side bracket for fun and bragging rights.
cost should also be justified as pinball typically cost money to play (esp nice ones that play GREAT!) and events like this take a large amount of staff to run!
Aside from that I am VERY excited to play in an all EM event and have a good time.
Happy to pay just to support what the VFW is!
Tickets purchased!
Quoted from silver_spinner:It was just a question seeing as how your post said you wanted comments. 64 players brings the total entry over 1 grand so I was curious. Good luck. maybe ill show up just to beat why snow; )
please do and then we can have a beer and enjoy the limited access to the main event before everyone else comes in.
Quoted from bob_e:VFW has 2 NBA Fast Breaks linked together you and Silver Spinner and go head to head!
actually one of the things I am most looking forward to is playing linked NBAs

Quoted from bob_e: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.
I can answer that for you (I think?).
You need:
1 the event listed on a public website with some info about it
This should already meet the requirement but will need to update language to reflect that it is now for WPPR if that is the case.

2 the event put on the IFPA calendar at least 30 days prior to the event
Register it here. You are more than 30 days out currently so should be good to go.

3 the event can not have any restrictions in whom can play (i.e. can't exclude anyone based on age, WPPR status, etc...)
That is pretty much it.

LOL. Great picture!!!
Congrats on the win. It is Rob's fault for losing, he did not even put those special magnetic skelator gloves on till mid way through the event 
Super fun tourney and I will be back next year to play in it again!
Quoted from trufflepiggy:There were some in the tournament that held the whole thing up by doing things like, having million plus point BALLS on strikes and spares!!!! Sorry, I seem to have forgotten your name, but you deserve some recognition. And to think you ended up just plunging the balls to finish it up for the next round to start.
Thanks. That was me. That is the first and only time I have ever rolled a game in my life.
I ended up draining ball 2 EB and ball 3 as my opponent had condeded defeat after I rolled it.
That was the highlight of my weekend. I have NEVER had a game of pinball like that ever.
I think it was just the hot readhead on the backglass that got me in the zone Fun game
