Good Evening Pinsiders,

MK6PIN - you really are going to make me do non-cannibalism stats, aren't you?

Fact - 2019 NCAA tournament; Big Ten teams Minnesota and Michigan State played each other in the Round of 32. They counted both the win and loss of that game into the Big Ten's overall record inthe tournament.

You could start a new thread by asking - AFM or TZ?

I think you're right with your thought process. All of these games have unique features that make them great for different reasons.

I would choose AFM, because the theme, simple layout, and bash toy. It appeals to most of my friends and family; whom are all novices in pinball. They don't care if a game is deep - they just love simplicity and fun.

Who has all four of these games currently in their lineup?

First off, you're ballin'.

Secondly, which of the four is the best game in your opinion?

Mid week, mid afternoon bump.

48 hours until voting closes.

AFM over MM by a slim margin; LOTR is currently taming Jurassic Park.

As soon as I say something, everyone votes for MM and JP over the next 30 minutes.

I haven't looked at this thread all morning - Jurassic Park is now ahead by four votes? Wow, that escalated quickly.

Stern must have had a mid-morning meeting; telling everyone to log into Pinside and vote before heading back to work.

Okay everyone - I'm cancelling this round's vote. We're starting all over... Haha!

<-- (For the few that may need this)

I wouldn't really know how Pinsiders feel about this bracket voting until I take it away from them. Haha!

Going to rule 31B, section F, sub-section T - "If these is a tie, the higher seed moves on."

If there is a tie.JPG

Pinside is crushing it on this thread from a marketing standpoint.

All I see are sale ads for LOTR (with everyone's favorite - "Tasteful" mods), or mods for JP.

Where is some love for AFM or MM? Or better yet... where is Pinstadium?

24 hours left to vote!

A quick FYI - once voting ends tomorrow night, I will get the next round up and running afterward as quickly as I can. Voting in the championship round will end Monday night at 10pm EST/7pm PST.

Also, I'm looking for a little feedback from Pinsiders: For the championship round, should I hide the poll results and publish them Monday night when the poll closes? My thought is, if it is a potential blowout, see that over the next three days would take the fun out of it. Also, a good mystery always drives speculation.

Thoughts?

Thank you for the feedback. I think it will keep more people interested.

Final day of voting. Ends tonight.

Wow, how close is this voting?

MM 250 to AFM 248

JP 259 to LOTR 255

JP and LOTR are officially tied at 263 apiece.

Is there anyone left on Pinside that can vote?

Voting is now over .

You only had three days to do so.

Okay guys - a handful of announcements...

1. Several Pinsiders mentioned they would like to have a 3rd place voting thread - you got it. Give me a few minutes to start it.

2. I will get the finals thread up as soon as possible. I will have it up no later than 10am EST/7am PST. It could be even up tonight.

3. Voting is going to be hidden until voting closes Monday night. Just in case there is a blowout, we want to make sure we keep the last round suspenseful.

4. Voting will end Monday night at 10pm EST/7pm PST (cpr9999 - don't forget to vote!)

5. Thanks to everyone who has favorite(d), followed, voted, commented over the last couple of weeks. This has been fun.

New poll will be up in less than an hour, thanks for your patience.

The Finals voting is now open. I was unable to "hide" the vote till Monday, so we'll keep the results open. Enjoy!
