    The plan is to play more pinball in 2016

    #21 8 years ago

    FYI, started a TOPS TOURNAMENT on BDK last night that will run for 5 weeks, in case anyone who reads this is interested. Top 3 scores pay out.

    This Tuesday is the 2nd Tuesday. Was there a date change from the 3rd Tuesday?

    #46 7 years ago

    Curious to see what kind of scores people put up on GB tonight. It has not been kind to me.

    #60 7 years ago

    Unfortunately GB had a weak left flipper last night, so it wasn't included. Figured it out later though after the tour. At first thought maybe I had node board probs, but nope. The flipper end of stroke switch is normally closed, so it needs to be firmly closed like on early SS machines to flip properly...Spike lesson learned.

    Popped in to check on the games last night. Fixed a couple of minor issues, so the games should all be solid tonight.

    Lineup is currently MM, BDK, MET LE, GoT Prem and GB Pro. See ya tonight!

    That's tomorrow night. Lineup is still MM, BDK, MET LE, GoT Prem and GB Pro.
    I believe Tuesdays are also a buck off tap craft brews.

    #69 7 years ago

    Last call for the Brixies monthly tour tonite.

    It's a little nicer walk from the Brookfield station since it's mostly residential from there and probably similar distance from the LaGrange station.

    Reminder that tomorrow is 3rd Tuesday of the month, so it's Brixies Monthly IFPA tourney time. I'm also taking over the tour director responsibilities from Dave since he has a standing conflict and can't make it to these any longer. See you guys there. New faces encouraged and also welcome!

    Current lineup is
    Hobbit (Smaug)
    GoT Prem
    GB Prem
    BDK
    MM

    #87 7 years ago
    Quoted from Joe_Blasi:

    I should be there may be a little late.

    Don't worry Joe, we won't finish without you. You're usually the first one done anyway.

    Bumping one more time for tonight. Who doesn't want to be indoors on a night like this? Although, I'm sure the big garage doors will be open.

    #90 6 years ago

    3rd Tuesday of the month, so that means the Brixies monthly is tomorrow night.

    #94 6 years ago

    We've had as low as 7 and as many as 16 a few times. Last couple times we had 11 I think. It's laid back and fun, like it should be. Drinking good brews and playing good pinball. Details are on the ifpa calendar. All of the $5 entry fee goes into the pot and is paid out to the top 3 or 4 depending on how may people we get.

    Next Brixies Monthly is tomorrow night@7:30pm, see you guys there!

    #97 6 years ago

    Bumping for tonight!

    #101 6 years ago
    Quoted from Scribble:

    RazerX won his own tournament... classy.

    Lol, by like 40,000 points on GB...clearly a solid victory.
    It's really Dave H's tournament that he eventually handed over to me.

    Reminder that the next Brixies Monthly is tomorrow night@7:30pm. See you there!

    #104 6 years ago

    Current lineup is still MM, Aerosmith, GB Prem, GoT Prem and Hobbit. No ETA on when the lineup will change, but it will be coming.

    #105 6 years ago

    One last bump for anyone interested in coming tonight.

    #107 6 years ago
    Quoted from Scribble:

    Oooo line up change soon?! Hopefully TDK will make a come back.

    It could come back to your house. Just cleaned it up real nice and it will be FS very soon.

    Hey everyone, reminder that tomorrow night is the next Brixies monthly tournament.
    7:30pm start time.
    Hope to see you there!

    I'm sure you'll be there in spirit, Joe

    #114 6 years ago

    #116 6 years ago

    Hi Everyone,
    Just a heads up that 3rd Tuesday of month is tomorrow, so it's time for our next Brixies monthly Tournament @7:30pm. Hopefully you've slept off your Expo hangovers and we'll see you there!

    #120 6 years ago

    FYI, Eric will be running the tourney tonight for me since I'll be at the Cubs game. Good luck dudes!

    #122 6 years ago
    Quoted from kms_pinball:

    Ahhhhh, so there will be a spot open in the top four qualifiers then! Excellent! I'm in.

    lol, I would have been better off going to the tourney as the game was a disaster. So who was top 4 and won it?

    1 month later
    #125 6 years ago

    lol, are you a soothsayer?

    Reminder, Brixies Monthly is tomorrow night @7:30pm. TNA in, Hobbit out. Current lineup is

    TNA
    GoT Prem
    GB Prem
    AS Pro
    SM

    And for the record, I really don't care if people choose to play TNA in a group or single player. Except if the finals are on TNA, then it has to be multi-player!

    #126 6 years ago

    Bump for tonight's tourney. Looking forward to it since I missed last month.

    #128 6 years ago
    Quoted from Joe_Blasi:

    I should be able to make it.

    Excellent!

    tempting

    #138 6 years ago

    Bump for tonight. Who's coming in a Santa hat?

    #141 6 years ago

    Good times last night for sure. It was a bit nutty with 27 peeps last night but fun.
    Congrats to Jack Danger for winning it all.
    Special thanks to Scribble for working the video stream of the finals.

    We are playing the normal highest score tournament tomorrow! I owe Joe beer!
    Start at 7:30pm.

    Or you could do whatever you want and not tell IFPA. I mean really, what's the big deal.

    #166 6 years ago

    Bah, details. If everyone playing agrees, who cares. You just want free beer

    Quoted from Joe_Blasi:

    Also is food back?

    It should be.

    #188 5 years ago
    Quoted from supercombo:

    razerx What's the format for tonight's pinball jam?

    Since Eric's out of town and I'm running the show, we'll try and go PinGolf style tonight. It'll be score thresholds to determine # of strokes on each game with a simple 5 game course. And then a final 4 playoff to follow.

    #190 5 years ago

    Is this thing on tonight?

    #192 5 years ago
    Quoted from Scribble:

    Monthly Tournament is tonight! Come out and have a beer and play in a 2 or 3 (depending on amount of people) strikes tournament!
    Joe is buying us beer tonight! (Spoilers: Joe doesn't buy us beer)

    imported beer it is then!

    #195 5 years ago
    Quoted from Joe_Blasi:

    Is the food back?

    Unfortunately the kitchen is closed on Tuesdays now, probably because it's the slowest night. The upside is that we pretty much have the place to ourselves, downside is you either need to eat before or bring something in. We can talk tonight about whether its a big enough deal to change to another night or not.

    That Goose Island Paper Umbrella sounds very interesting to me. Hope they still have it on tap!

    Quoted from Joe_Blasi:

    Any game changes for 10/16?

    Yes, all the games got swapped out for 5 bingo's

    #206 5 years ago
    Quoted from supercombo:

    I'm very thankful for the Brixie's Monthly and looking forward to tomorrow's tourney! What's the format? Turkey-appropriate three strikes? Pingolf with a raw turkey obscuring parts of the playfield on each machine?

    5-frame pinbowling?

    #210 5 years ago
    Quoted from GPK_Pinball:

    I will likely not be there tonight (mark me down as doubtful) but another thought is to cycle through the games twice for 10-frame bowling...which would you pick for that big 10th frame turkey?

    That could take a while, especially for you.

    #213 5 years ago
    Quoted from Scribble:

    10 frames of Ghostbusters?

    alternate between that and TNA

    #220 5 years ago
    Quoted from Joe_Blasi:

    What are we planing for tomorrow?

    Pinball 7:30 tomorrow!

    Seriously though, Eric's out, so I'll be running it. Should we do pingolf again or something else?

    #222 5 years ago

    I'm down for some more pingolf action this month.

    #229 5 years ago

    I fixed the bad opto on SS later that night and it's been solid ever since.

    Could not get TNA to do the reset thing any time again after that night, also been playing solid since then.

    #230 5 years ago

    what's the format tomorrow night?

    SS out, MM in.

    Rumor has it, there may be a new game in the mix tonight

    Quoted from Scribble:

    Tournament tonight!
    Sticking with 4 player knockout, 3 strikes most likely.
    Andy is not playing tonight, so I put it at a 90% chance he wont win.

    How can you be so sure?

    Yes we are and I have seen stranger things

    #288 4 years ago

    We will be doing something different than strikes tonight. We'll actually just do the old traditional since it's been a while. Everyone plays all 5 games, records scores and then top4 playoff.

    #290 4 years ago

    The current owner is also part owner of Imperial Oak. The current plan is to retain the pins.

    Quoted from grandy:

    I was thinking last night about what a nightmare this must be for arcades. Bars too, and really everything.

    really everything, especially those who lose their jobs or work for tips and have kids. These are going to be trying times for those people.
