Barry Oursler Tournament Fundraiser at the Pinball Asylum

We need your help.

We were approached by the IFPA to help participate in a nation wide fundraising event for the Oursler family to which we replied, “absolutely, how can we help”.

To help raise donations, the Pinball Asylum is going to host a Barry Oursler Fundraiser event on Saturday March 15. This will be an open house event with two pinball benefit tournaments for our guests to participate in. The goal is to generate funds that well be given to the Oursler family.

Barry Oursler designed a lot of great titles that we all played in the past and are playing still to this day. I know that I have fond memories of playing a lot of his games over the years. Take a look at the list below and you be amazed at all the fantastic machines that were created by Barry Oursler. What an accomplishment!

From the IFPA page, “Famous pinball designer Barry Oursler is seeking donations for treatment for himself and his wife Donna. In February 2013, Barry was diagnosed with bone marrow cancer. The treatments and prescriptions are not covered 100% by insurance, so the bills are piling up. Last July, Donna was diagnosed with kidney failure. As a result, she must receive dialysis 3 times per week.”

How you can help: We need your help to get Barry Oursler designed pinball machines to the Pinball Asylum and setup for use in the two benefit pinball tournaments. All the proceeds will be donated to the Barry Oursler Fund.

Plus, we need to get sponsors and/ or prizes of any kind that can be used for raffles, giveaways or to be used for tournament prizes. We appreciate anything to help raise donations.

The two tournament formats:

Ten Token Barry Oursler Themed Tournament: Fee $40 donation- Ten chances to get your highest qualify score on five machines. Your score will be rank and given points for each machine, then the points totaled. The top 4 totals will be given prizes for their achievement.

The Barry Oursler Tribute Tournament: 3 for $10 donation- Qualifying will start at 11am to 5:30pm Finals to begin at 6:30.

Here is the List of Barry Oursler designed titles. Please post your name below and the game you would like to bring to the Asylum. The Pinball Asylum is located in Fort Myers, Florida.

Thank you Hans.

Curly, thank you very much for your help and support.

The Little Shop of Games has offer their support and some pinball related items to help our fundraiser. They gave us a couple of items that will be for the tournament winners and a number of nice things that we are thinking about holding aside and having a raffle or silent auction.

Good news for tournament players and inmates.

I received an email last night from the IFPA told me that they regard our Barry Oursler Fundraiser Tournament Event to be an "annual" or major event. Which means that there will be over 37.5 WPPR points up for grabs for these tournaments. I believe they are doing this because they care about the success of this and other Oursler fundraising events that are being held and are hoping to draw more attention and people to this charity cause for Barry's family and their needs.

The main tournament will be given a 25 point base and the side tournament will be a 12.5 point base and both of these bases will increase after the players rank weight is calculated in.

I hope you all can be in attendance to help Barry and his wife and earn some points as a reward.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

Thank you,

Dan
