    I just got back in after much fun in Chicago. I was a member of the team that put on the Brawl.
    Thanks for all the comments. They are appreciated ! We wanted to try something new for several reasons but mainly because of some time issues. Both Mike and folks that have played in the past expressed the desire for a shorter format.

    With a shorter fotmat in mind we went though great pains timing many of the games and set the target accordingly. For the most part, we hit it correct !

    There were some holes that played easy and some harder. One of the concerns with objectives is that about 1/4 of the folks are fairly new to pinball and have a hard time figuring them out. We had to define what it meant to drop a target on Harlem (bonus) because some were confused when asked. I helped some folks figure out what it meant to destroy a country in AFM

    Being an EM guy and having so many nice games we were really hoping that thy would work better Turns out that cycling though the players and having five balls per player really extended the game. I actually played a few that took 4 min for me to make an easy target score for one player ! We tried this on many of the EM's there. I was personally sad we could not use more. DMD's can have the same issues but we were very selective.

    There was much debate over cary over scores. There are pros and cons to both ways and we will be tweaking that for sure.

    Thanks to all that played and to all for the patience with the new format and the bumps that we experienced. Looking forward to next year already !
