Quoted from scottslash:The 25th at Nevus’s is back to looking iffy for me. Darn kids are starting to have babies again!
Bummer bro. We will miss you at the tourney this Saturday (we have four people coming from Lake Charles).
Shoot me a pm and let’s meet up when you come to Lake Charles. We can discuss your TSPP and I can try and convince you to take my RFM as a partial trade. 
Creating a couple events in Lake Charles.
Friday, April 6th, the Hilliard family will host: Friday Night Special III; no side tourney.
Saturday, April 7th, PavBall and I will host: Welcome Back To Louisiana as a main tourney with a Classics side tourney. (This is not Romp V, we are waiting for TNA to arrive for Romp V, but thought we'd host a tourney to welcome one of our friends who has been living in Philly back to Louisiana).
I hope some of you can join us for the Friday/Saturday tourneys.
Quoted from Nevus:Doh! Wife and I are in Carbondale, IL that weekend.
Sry we will miss those.
Alas, we will miss you!
Quoted from PoBoyPinball:April 7th?
James and Theresa's 28th wedding anniversary.
Don't think I'll be making this tourney
What better way to celebrate a 28th anniversary than a pinball tourney!
Quoted from PoBoyPinball:Scored some points today with a crawfish boil who knows maybe I’ll be able to make the tourney? Never can tell
That would be awesome if you could make it down. When we do Romp V (still not scheduled as I’m awaiting info on TNA 174 soon) we plan to do a crawfish boil at the tourney.
Quoted from Pinball-is-great:Looks like Ark-La-Tex Pinball Club will have about 4 pinball machines set up together in our section in the free-play area.
Are we nearby the Pinside booth this year? Marcus is bringing a bunch of machines for the Pinside booth.
Quoted from TigerLaw:Are we nearby the Pinside booth this year? Marcus is bringing a bunch of machines for the Pinside booth.
Quoted from Nevus:I’m not sure. I didn’t ask in advance.
Xerico , please see the above question and let us know if it is still possible please good sir. Thanks!!!!!
Quoted from Xerico:Unfortunately, the show layout is finalized. Requests like this need to be submitted to the TPF Team by early February at the latest.
Alas, we will have to depend on luck to generate us some good proximity.
Quoted from PoBoyPinball:You guys are killing me, I'm starting now to make my plans to go to TPF next year, no more covering for co workers. As soon as they set next years dates I'm putting in my request to be off
Oh man, we are going to miss you! Any chance of a late season sudden flu outbreak?
Quoted from PoBoyPinball:J&T 28th wedding anniversary tourney
The trophies aren’t made yet. We can rename the Side Tourney whatever we want to name it. “The J&T 28th wedding annivery classic’s tourney” sounds as good of a name as simply the classics tourney does to me. You’re for sure coming? How about the Mrs?
Quoted from Nevus:BBB is shipping out
Congrats on the sale! Where is it going?
Quoted from Pinball-is-great:Yes. October 19 & 20, 2018.
This was announced at/during TPF weekend.
Edit: at a new location with a lot more floor space
We booked our hotel room yesterday for HAAG. Super excited to check out the new hotel for the event.
Quoted from PavBall:You need to let Josh know so the trophies reflect the name change for the classics division
Yes, I’ll reach out to him tomorrow.
Speaking of Friday Night Special III, I believe we decided to hold that event at the office instead of the Hilliard’s home due to Kristine and Benjamin having an out of town appointment they were not expecting. So the event is still happening on Friday, just at the office instead (the two Saturday tourneys will be at our house as has always been planned). We will post a sign at the Hilliard’s home with the new address should anyone show up there by mistake on Friday.
Quoted from PoBoyPinball:Can you PM me the office address, I'm going to try make both Friday night and Saturday tourney. I haven't been to the Office
Sent! If anyone else needs the address please pm me or text PavBall or Jodester. Thanks!
Revenge From Mars is heading to Vegas. I hope you enjoy the game ThomasH
Seawitch is coming to Lake Charles. Thank you Xerico
----------------------
Regarding the Friday tourney: Starship Troopers will be added to the line up at my office courtesy of Ferdinand (who will not be able to attend due to recent fatherhood and lawschool tests). So the Friday night tourney will have five games.
Pinball-is-great what time does the Saturday tourney start? The Mafia is going to show up early and install Twilight Zone and take The Walking Dead. So, TWD will not be in the tourney, late arrival for the tourney is Twilight Zone. I do not expect any other different games than I normally have gang, but do be advised WH2O is still in my collection and DW is not.
Quoted from Mudflaps:Does this game have a wizard mode?
They will drop that code update a week after you sell the game.
Quoted from PoBoyPinball:What time can we start showing up at this weekends tourney's? Friday's and Saturday's
Y’all can start showing up just after 5pm on Friday. I’ll be here waiting to great whoever shows up.
Quoted from Nevus:New arrival today! Super excited.
Congrats on the new game! We are going to miss you and Henry at the tourneys this weekend.
The Friday Night Special 3 tourney looks like it will have a surprisingly decent turnout. Many of the people that have been participating in our office league on Tuesdays have decided to come compete on Friday.
So, if y’all are coming on Friday you may meet some new people that enjoy Pinball and are making their first steps in the hobby. Everyone can feel free to start showing up just after 5pm (and we will likely let people show up as late as 7:30pm [or possibly a little later if warned in advance] and still get their qualifying games in) if you need the address please let me know.
Bring whatever you want to drink or eat on Friday. We have a kitchen in the office with a microwave and a fridge and what not.
Quoted from Nevus:Greetings from Carbondale, IL. Sry I have to miss the tourney. Henry was also bummed that we couldn’t make it.
No problem. Hopefully TNA will be here soon and then it is going to be the big Romp V tourney event.

New IFPA tourney at the Lake Charles office. Friday, May 11th. I hope some of you can join us. Unlikely to be a very large tourney, but everyone is certainly welcome to join us.
https://pinside.com/pinball/events/the-scales-of-pinball-2018
This is not Romp V. Romp V. will be in the summer some time, this is just a Friday after work quicky
Any one have any Pinball plans this weekend?
Medusa is heading to Jodester’s, hopefully we will finally get this machine 100% working and reliable for the first time in eighteen months.
Might make it out to the Mafia’s house Sunday for the weekly feed.
Quoted from Nevus:I’m putting the latest Cleland code on TWD Prem
Let me know if you like it. I’ve grown to enjoy the Stern call outs and music but if you prefer the show call outs I might give them a shot.
Man, the little office league im running is really gaining some momentum. Some of the players we have are texting me Pinball questions. It’s awesome, I think this league may really take off.
Quoted from Arcade:If you decide you want it on, just let me know and we can add it for you
Add it, thanks!
Quoted from Arcade:Cleland Code added to TWD Tiger.
It is awesome.
Game is so much better with the voice actor call outs.
Awesome! I’ll see y’all tonight for the stream. Should arrive around 7:30 or so. 
Quoted from Arcade:Great. Looking forward to it.
For the record I now (as of today) suck on my own TAF too, LOL.
So, the Lake Charles Spring League is really taking off. We had 16 people show up at my office today to get their scores in. I must say, I’m blown away by the number of people that are coming every Tuesday for league.
PavBall, Jodester, and I have decided to bring a sixth game to the office for the league. When we get DW back (trying to work it out to bring WH2O back on Sunday to the Mafia and pick up DW then) it will go to the office...which will leave my home collection rather depleted till Maiden and TNA arrive.
Quoted from cadmium:Have the results from the April 7 tournament been submitted to the IFPA?
Yes, they are backed up a bit it seems. Also, I sent the payment in via check in the ma instead of online through a credit card and this also has caused a delay. Hopefully the results post by Friday.
What are everyone’s Pinball plans this weekend? I’m heading to the Mafia’s on Sunday and swapping back WH2O for DW. Then we will set up DW at the office later that day for the league.
I’m going to have three empty slots at my casa, two of them are being claimed by TNA and Iron Maiden, what game will fill the third empty slot?
Quoted from Jodester:WOZ would look nice in your collection. So would BM66...
Yes, they would look great, but gosh they sound expensive!
Quoted from Nevus:Catacomb looks great
Jodester got it playing extremely well too. That game is really dependent on having lively pops and good spinner action. Also, I’ve never seen an early 80’s game where understanding the rules was as important as Catacomb.
It’s fantastic and I’m loving classic Sterns more and more each year.
Quoted from PoBoyPinball:They must be waiting for the check to clear before they post the results?
As of this past weekend the check had still not been deposited, perhaps it got tied up with tax return checks or just lost. I’m in touch with the ifpa, if the check doesn’t arrive by the end of this week I will pay it online and if the check arrives later just take a credit. It is four events they have for me (one league, two mains, and a side).
It is looking like Saturday, June 23rd for Romp in the Swamp V.
Will get with Jodester, Pinball-is-great, and PavBall on the events and let you guys know. Will reach out to Sean and see if he can do the main meat dish.
Quoted from PoBoyPinball:"for all you non Facebookers" Me
any pics from yesterday and the winner's were?
Me too!!! Get to posting some photos and a report gang.
By the way, all four Louisiana events that were hung up pending payment should post today. The check never arrived at IFPA, apparently, but I went ahead and took care of it online.
Unboxed an Aerosmith Pro tonight for my dad (after lugging that sucker up some serious stairs...that turned). Had fun and of course glad to have another pin in Lake Charles. Thanks to Gexchange for another smooth transaction.

Let me know if any of you all plan to make it out on Friday for the office IFPA tourney in Lake Charles. It’ll follow the same format as the last friday night event in Lake Charles. I hope to see some of you. Thanks.
Quoted from Jodester:What part of me did you want to see? JK...
What time does it start again Tiger
Eh, people can come and get scores in starting at 5. It’s best game format so someone can show up as late 7:30pm (if I know they are coming) and start. I figured the top four playoff will likely begin around 8:30 or so.
Quoted from spanks_4:When's the next tournament? For some stupid reason I'm debating on getting back into the tournament scene.
The weekend of June 23rd will have some stuff in Lake Charles. The more the merrier. The Saturday will have most of the tourney action but there will be something either the Friday or Sunday as well for those that are traveling in and want a bit more than just one day of Pinball.
Hope to see you there.
Can anyone guess what machine myself and Pinball-is-great are bringing back to LC currently?
Some pics from the CSI set up.

Quoted from action76:Nice pickup TigerLaw! If Pav ever gets tired of it, you've already got a buyer because Jessica loves that game too! She might make me take a trip to the LC area next time there is a tournament just so she can play it LOL
Gosh, that would be great if y’all could make the June tourneys. We’ve set up a Friday night tourney on June 22 at the office location with a side Tourney, then the big Romp in the Swamp V event on June 23 at the house. We’d love it if you and Jessica could make it out for those.
Nevus and his son came and did the game swap today. See you in six months or so Game of Thrones. Hello Ghostbusters!

Anyone notice this group from Beaumont that delivers and sets up machines to Lake Charles? Who are they? I’m assuming they are a business since they take credit cards and what not.
https://pinside.com/pinball/market/classifieds/ad/64267
Quoted from Jodester:So, I leave for a few days and everybody gets new machines.
Welcome back!
Quoted from WavingWilly:tigerlaw Please buy Creature from the Black Lagoon. It is the pin I remember from the local bowling alley growing up and the one I am dying to try again in person! Or maybe xq11 will take a liking to it and buy it?
You and XQ11 should go check it out. It's a short hop, skip, and a jump away. I'd wait to hear from
Arcade on who the seller is though. He would know them if they are a new brick and mortar arcade/pin seller from Beaumont (which is what that ad indicates).
In Lake Charles’ first ever non-IFPA sanctioned knock out style tourney, we had nine people show up and play through the grueling gauntlet. We had two people finish 1st and 2nd that had not previously finished in the top three of any Pinball event.
Medusa is back and is playing amazing!!! Major thank you and mad props to Jodester
This game has never played this good! Heck, he even drilled out the pingulp so it would finally fit with that massively thick powder coat job the game has.

Quoted from PoBoyPinball:Did he fix that darn start button
Yes! And the coin door...And the drop targets...And the roll over switches...And the lights...And the flippers...gosh it had some gremlins. This game now plays as good as it looks!
Quoted from WavingWilly:tigerlaw I call shenanigans on your bogus tournament. The "tournament" has a giant asterisk as Joey was a loser and xq11 graciously forfeited his spot in the winners bracket. My score on Scared Stiff would've smoked any of the two winners. And to answer your next question, no - I'm not bitter at all
I dunno, I think Joey simply wisely maneuvered himself to be in the group that was most likely to have a spousal order to depart enforced on it...if so, that’s a skill of its own.
Quoted from Arcade:And yes they used your Walking Dead Tiger
They took hundreds of photos and interviewed us for over 2 hrs. We had no idea what would make it to print.
That’s awesome! Ha! Do you have a link the article?
Quoted from Mudflaps:I talk about pinball enough at work that I may have a buyer looking for his first game
That’s awesome. Would love to see y’all Shreveport gentlemen get your league up and running.
Any major regional Pinball news this weekend? What is the mafia streaming tonight? Any new games pop up in someone’s collection?
Quoted from Mudflaps:Does anyone have a T2 (or similar game in the $1500-$2200 range) they may be willing to part with? I talk about pinball enough at work that I may have a buyer looking for his first game. LMK
Consider looking for a Gladiators for your friend.
Still a sub 2k dmd game that’s not in huge demand but is pretty awesome and loaded with features. I think that game was originally supposed to be Zelda but they couldn’t secure the license and had to do a last minute retheme.
Has anyone seen our friend and top level chef Spg101 recently? I’ve sent him a couple pm’s to see if we could lure him to LC for the June 23rd tourney but note he hasn’t logged in to Pinside since early April. Perhaps he is traveling for work or something.
Does anyone have food suggestions for the events on the 22nd and 23rd later this month? In the absence of BBQ perhaps we just do pizza. We are going to be missing a significant number of tourney mainstays sadly as there are a lot of vacations that week.
Quoted from PoBoyPinball:So I think we all did this about this time of year last year or maybe even two years ago GCPC vacation pics. My wife and I Lake Minnetonka MN.
Yes, the summer vacation trip photos are quickly becoming a tradition for this club. PavBall and I will post some from Greece for sure.
By the way, Iron Madien premium arrived in Lake Charles yesterday. Total Nuclear Annhilation is now fully paid for and will be there before June 23rd. 
Having a great time hanging out with my wife and her family. A couple friends from Louisiana flew out to Greece as well. The Acropolis was pretty amazing.

Quoted from PoBoyPinball:LC is becoming a pinball hotspot.
It is super exciting to see the growth of pinball in Lake Charles. I'm more excited now about the future prospects of pinball in SW Louisiana currently than I've ever been.
Quoted from Arcade:Jody has been on fire lately with pinball help.
We may have to get him a heating pad for his back.
He is the true Dr. Pinball and the leading reason of the prior mentioned growth in interest in pinball in Lake Charles. Big thanks to Jodester for all he does for our hobby in the area.
Quoted from PoBoyPinball:Congratulations let’s us know how many you are up to by the end of the year. Once you get two they start multiplying.
Yep, I've warned him of that. Heck, if he gets just two more machines he and his wife could start hosting IFPA pinball events.
By the way @jahpinwizard , I know you are coming in on the 23rd, but is there any chance of you making it in on the 22nd for the two Friday night tourneys? Would love to have you Friday as well as Saturday.
Quoted from PoBoyPinball:Not sure when I’ll be home from Oklahoma? Where is Friday’s tournament at your office?
Yes, office. Same format as last time so coming in a bit late is no worries.
Scared Stiff has left the office as of thirty minutes ago by the way. Lots of sad faces.
Quoted from Arcade:We did pick up Strange Science today and brought Judge Dredd back to its house. Did not take any photos yet but will post some when I do
Does it have a working topper? I’ve never seen a Strange Science with a working topper. Post some pics, great artwork on that game.
Happy Father’s Day Gulf Coast Club.
We didn’t take many pictures yesterday, heck, we were so exhausted at the end we didn’t even take trophy pics. Here was one pic we did take though of Mandy taking (eventual tourney champ) Preston down on TAF and a photo of TZ sadly leaving my collection and heading back to Beaumont:

Quoted from Pinball-is-great:Tiger,
Did TNA arrive yet in good condition?
Have you already unboxed it and set it up?
If not, are you and Pav gonna have a small unboxing party? and when?
Arrived this afternoon and unboxing it tonight assuming it survived the shipping expierence. Will you be around by chance?
Quoted from WavingWilly:I'll miss the social aspect of the next ten weeks of the pinball summer league. I'll do my best to get my games in, but have other obligations for a little while. Kill me, now!
Totally bummed bro, you’ll be missed!
Quoted from WavingWilly:I am counting down the minutes to try out Seawitch!
Gosh, me too. Classic Stern games are phenomenal. This will make for three in LC. There are five other great classic Sterns we need to find and bring into the city.
Quoted from radium:I would like his vision better if it were on the east side of Louisiana instead.
Quoted from Raegor:Agreed
You guys should move to Lake Charles. We just welcomed a new collector and very good player in from Texas who just moved here to our league this week. All the cool pinball people are heading to LC.
Quoted from Mudflaps:Thanks again Nevus for helping me bring another game upstairs. T3 is getting the LED and ColorDMD treatment
Nice T3! Where did it come from and what did it replace?
Quoted from Mudflaps:RZ is out, T3 is in. It was a swap (plus cash) with a fellow pinsider. We each had to ship the game, which kind of sucked, but life is short.
I’m wrestling with the ColorDMD now and replacing what seems to be about 700 incandescent bulbs. I’ve got a pretty sweet topper on the way, too.
Sweet. When you are ready to move on from the T3 let me know, maybe we can swap something. We missed you at the last LC tourney weekend!
Fellow Pinside moderator @xerico delivered the Sea Witch yesterday. We had a few league people over for the new game and Xerico got meet Megatron later.

Quoted from Mudflaps:I have a wall of shame that bears many scars from the constant influx of games. Nevus shares the blame for some.
I make WavingWilly put his hands between the machine and the wall when we move machines around. I tell him his fingers can heal but a cabinet blemish is forever.
Quoted from WavingWilly:HOW DARE YOU WELCOME ME INTO YOUR OWN HOME TO PLAY PINBALL ON A SATURDAY AFTERNOON?
Saturday was a blast! I’m looking forward to checking out Hobbit with the new code next time. Everyone in the Hobbit thread seems rather blown away by it.
What are everyone’s Pinball plans for this weekend? Anybody got anything going on?
Quoted from scottslash:I sure wish I could get together with y'all more, because we DO have a great buncha folks down here!
We wish you’d make it down here more often too!
Quoted from Pinball-is-great:It would be great if TigerLaw brings his ipad and we use Brackelope software for the main tourney if we use double elim format.
Of course happy to do that if I can make it. I'm going to have check in with PavBall and if I can go (which I imagine I probably can) I'd like to ride with
Jodester if he'll have me.
Just making a personal observation, it is a long drive for a single elimination tourney. In the winter tourney Nevus hosted, I got smoked in the first round by
PavBall and that was the end of my tourney experience. Having a double elimination format at least gives people who get an unfortunate round one match up the chance of playing up through the losers bracket. To the extent you guys are soliciting input for tourney format, I vote double elimination.
Also, consider a Best Game format with a playoff for the side tourney. I have the software for that as well, it is what we do with our Lake Charles league events and if you guys in Shreveport like the format you can start using it for your league events as well. Best Game format has been a raging hit here and it's perfect for a side tourney.
Thanks!
Hotel room booked for TPF next March.
I know it may seem early but I strongly urge any of you considering going to TPF in Frisco next year to go ahead and book your room now before Pinburg. The event hotel for TPF sells out right after Pinburg every year...they have rooms open now...
Quoted from Arcade:For those not on Facebook here are our standings after 3 rounds of Pinburgh
After round 3:
Preston has 21
Leon has 27
Dennis has 22
Kelly 14
Wow! Excellent! You guys and gal have fun this weekend and keep us posted.
Quoted from Arcade:Having a blast and going to a private party that JJ at the Game Exchange is throwing tomorrow night.
Pics from the party? How is everyone doing today in the big tourney?
Quoted from Arcade:Currently between rounds
How is the Dronet family doing? All four of them there as well?
Man, I need to add this show to the visit list one year soon.
Quoted from Jason_Jehosaphat:** Reliable Pin Shipper in Texas Sought **
Hi.
I'm trying to arrange the transport of a pinball from just north of Austin to Minneapolis.
STI considers this origin to be "remote," and arranging a time to get there to pickup is a bit of big/time-consuming deal.
So, I'm asking Long-Horn Pinsiders what alternative reliable/experienced pinball shippers there might be with routes that stretch from Austin to the Upper Midwest.
Any suggestions/leads would be much appreciated!
Thanks
Pinsider labnip May be able to help you out. Reach out to him. Thanks.
Quoted from Arcade:Well Preston was the #1 qualifying seed in B division. He gets a nice little $250 check for that.
He ended up finishing in the top 16
Where did you finish up at in A division? Congrats on making it there!
Though our summer league rages onward (just finished week 7) and we are having fierce competition this season, our fall league is now submitted to the IFPA calendar and posted here on Pinside. Please click on the events section and let us know you’ll be attending the event. If anyone knows someone in our area who may be interested in joining up please let us know:
https://pinside.com/pinball/events/lake-charles-fall-2018-league-2018
Quoted from scottslash:Looks like tigerlaw and I are gonna do a temp swap -- my TSPP for his STLE -- at Red River Replay on 9/1. Looking forward to it!
PavBall is pretty pumped about having TSPP for a bit. She has wanted that game since 2014. My Star Trek is a premium by the way, though it looks like an LE thanks to
Aurich
As an aside, for those wondering what is going to be replacing Star Trek up at the office for league...here is a hint for you:
Quoted from Pinball-is-great:Four 90s era rock bands playin tonite at Lake Charles Golden Nugget Grand Event Center 8:30pm. C u there
Sorry we missed you. Did you stay in LC or head home after the concert?
Anybody do any fun Pinball stuff this weekend?
Quoted from NPO:Seconding that offer when you drive through the Fl Panhandle (Fort Walton Beach area).
labnip : PavBall and I third that offer. When are you passing through LC?
Quoted from Nevus:I’ve got Deadpool fever. I’ll be listing a game this weekend, probably GOTG. We’ll see where it goes.
Please disregard my previous grandstanding about no more nib etc
Yea...I might have ordered a Deadpool too, I’m such an X-Men fan I just couldn’t resist it...I’m going to have to sell a game as well...no idea what yet.
Looking forward to your tourney!
Quoted from PoBoyPinball:Saturday the 25th from 2pm to 9pm
Alas, I’m working out of town that day. 
Quoted from ElCid95:A big shout out to Mudflaps spending most of his Sunday afternoon helping me out with my first pin. It looks a lot better with a color DMD and LEDs installed.
Congrats on your first game! It sure does look great with the LEDs! Hope to meet you at Nevus' tourney in a couple weeks.
Your next Pinside task is to select your own avatar for the forum.
Quoted from WavingWilly:tigerlaw What pins are in play for the league tomorrow
Quoted from Jodester:It depends Alex. Xmen may be out if I can't fix the captive ball issues.
I am pretty sure CSI, TNA, and Quicksilver are in...
Yep, those three plus Iron Maiden, The Adam’s Family, and Metallica. Game seven is unknown. Likely not XMen, likely Varkon but not certain.
Quoted from Pinball-is-great:That may change within Jodester's first week as a Pinside Moderator, as Jodester establishes his power and authority over the general population of pinball enthusiasts, especially on Pinsiders that try poking the new moderator bear with a stick.
With two moderators stalking this thread, this has instantly turned into the most moderator supervised thread on Pinside.
Quoted from Scott8806:That's my problem too hopefully one day
Man, nice Sorpranos! Show some more pics of that one!
Quoted from WavingWilly:I am getting hustled by the Metallica king
We need to all go get these sac racks and start playing dollar games:
Quoted from Pinball-is-great:Reminder: Sat Sep 1st, Red River Replay 4 pinball party and tournaments at Nevus's gameroom.
Hope some of you all can make it.
We have at least three people from Lake Charles driving up for it. Hopefully a couple other guys can join us as well. Looking forward to it.
Quoted from PoBoyPinball:Leaving Pav home? Would that have anything to do with her beating Tigerlaw last time???
Funny enough, that result started a downward spiral for me. PavBall knocked me out of the next two tournaments as well, including in the finals of one...she has had my number as of late to be sure.
Quoted from Nevus:He brought home a 3rd place in the tourney
Did you bring home anything else by chance?
Quoted from Vino:Yeah Nevus, no feedback yet out here in CA so plz give up the 411... !!
(plz no thread eject for a non member)
You are very welcome in the thread.
Quoted from Scott8806:Any interest in starting a club for Louisiana and gulfport people who want to trade games hard to find people down this way
This club thread is meant to do that. We do not have enough traffic to sustain another stand alone thread.
The Lake Charles Pinball league has a new champion: PavBall congrats to
WavingWilly for finishing in second!

Quoted from Pinball-is-great:I sure enjoyed the day playing pinball at Nevus's gameroom during RRR4.
Great collection Nevus has put together.
I second this fully. Nevus’ collection sure is fantastic and he’s an amazing host. I really look forward to our twice a year trips to Shreveport.
Quoted from Pinball-is-great:Ready for JAH to host a pinball party at his gameroom bldg later this yr.
Heck yes!!! @jahpinwizard can we squeeze a tourney in at your place before end of the year? Would love to see your new game room!
Quoted from PoBoyPinball:If y’all don’t mind pissing on my trees (I live in the country) we can have a tourney. I still don’t have a finished bathroom in my game room
I don’t think that would be a problem, certainly not with the guys. Would the ladies be able to go inside the house for the facilities?
Let’s pick a date in November or December and break in your game room!
Quoted from WavingWilly:Stream is great, arcade!
We should go over there one Sunday night WavingWilly I could actually do next Sunday if they will have us and if you can drive?
Quoted from scottslash:Results from RRR4 have posted to IFPApinball.com! Yes, I'm excited! Debut at #7? Uh, yeah, I'll take it!
@jahpinwizard ‘s tourney is going have some pretty significant ramifications on the top 16. There is very little setting apart spots 15-28...less than a point and a half difference between spots 15 and 28...which is wild. No telling who is going to be in the final top 16 at this juncture.
This is easily the most competitive year Louisiana has ever seen as far as the IFPA is concerned. Lots of new players and new machine owners getting better each week.
Quoted from Mudflaps:Loaded up, ass first!
You secured that nice Blackhole? We need you to host a tourney as well. There are formats that a four-five game collection would be perfect for a tourney.
Quoted from Mudflaps:I’d love to host a tourney sometime with my meager collection. Squeeze me in when the timing works out
Awesome! The format the Moncla’s use on November 3rd would work great. Perhaps Pinball-is-great can work out a date with you. Perhaps the weekend after the Moncla event.
Batman 66 set up and PavBall approved!

Quoted from Arcade:Nice.
Did not even know you had a Batman on order.
Switched over from Deadpool based on a request from @pavball What PavBall wants PavBall gets.
Alas, the turn table does not turn though. We appear to have a wiring issue of some kind with the wires splitting the motor. It did one 1/3 turn and never turned again. We fiddled with it and then it did a 1/6 turn.... Check it out.

Quoted from cadmium:this is hands down the best mod for your new BM66. The lighting really lets you know when it's time to blow up the pile.
https://themodcouplepinball.com/products/batman-66-custom-atomic-pile-mod-kit-lighted
Thanks! I’m going to need to get a few mods. New shooter rod, mirror or art blades, and a shaker are my primary three objectives (I need those for Maiden also).
Will look at getting this one as well.
We need to order some of TheNoTrashCougar ‘s sac racs or roo pouches for dollar games, especially for TNA.
Quoted from Nevus:Any other thoughts on this game? Im pretty excited!
You’ll love it. It’s been my favorite game since it arrived a few months ago. I can’t believe they are already in the 300’s. That is crazy.
TNA is likely the best multiplayer game in the history of pinball.
Quoted from Arcade:Seems like the new game bug has bit all of Louisiana.
It’s our weekly league. This picture from this last Tuesday has three people in it who bought their first game ever in the last twelve months. We’ve really engernized the Pinball players in this area. Competitive pinball is growing fast in Louisiana now.
The newest pinball tech (Lil Tiger) and Jodester changed the sound board on Varkon today. 100% up and working for the first time ever!

Quoted from WavingWilly:I am looking forward to league night tonight! I cannot wait to defeat my nemesis, xq11.
That was the first league night I’ve missed since the spring league. Did you take out at XQ11 or does the rivalry carry forward?
Let’s support our friends in Mississippi and have a great turn out for this event!
https://pinside.com/pinball/events/mississippi-pinball-party-amp-tournaments-december-2018
Quoted from Mudflaps:BH totally whored out with LEDs, new displays, new motor, clear rubbers, light up buttons, new posts, legs de-rusted, and playfield protector. Maybe one day I’ll play it
Can’t wait to play that sucker one day soon! Looks incredible!
Check out the concert area. The Harp Twins will be awesome in this venue. Also fits an October theme.

Quoted from Nevus:Hoping to see some of you at the Moncla tournament on 11/3. Henry and I are in and Mudflaps might come with us.
I know PavBall and I would like to attend this event. I’m not sure yet if we will make it. We need to secure the sitter. What are the times of the tourney? (Start time and likely conclusion time). Any other Lake Charles people attending on November 3? Thanks!
So, we’ve got two club tourneys coming up: November 3rd in Beaumont and then December 8th in Mississippi for that state’s first ever IFPA event.
Jodester ,
PavBall and I are uncertain whether we will do another LC tourney before year end, the three of us will make a decision on that by this time next week.
PavBall and I will be hosting the 2018 Louisiana State Championships at our home.
Quoted from PoBoyPinball:When does LC winter league finish up?
Right before Thanksgiving Week I believe. Would have to look on the calendar to confirm.
You should join us for league tomorrow night. It’s at the house (not office), would give you a good chance to warm up on the machines before the state championships. Due to events beyond our control requiring the cancelation of league last week, tomorrow will be two league nights played on the same day with ten different games (two plays on each game) in play. Join us, show up any time after 6. BYOB
Quoted from PoBoyPinball:I have yet to play TNA so I hope its at your house and not office.
Yep, it’s at the house. Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow!
Quoted from Zukboy2002:Damn i hate missing out on all these nights, im super jealous
We have to keep these past two weeks of league open till Sunday for a few reasons. Depending on how much Pinball you are up for playing this weekend you are welcome to play the two weeks. Jodester is hosting next tuesday’s league, you may be able to twist his arm into letter you play that one as well...
Looking forward to seeing you all on Friday.
Quoted from PoBoyPinball:
Only $1,200. Cheapest desirable classic Stern I’ve seen in awhile.
Booked the hotel room in Mississippi for the night before the tourney. It appears as though we will have five guys from the LC area coming in for the tourney (subject of course to change).
Let’s help our friends in Mississippi really kick off their IFPA program in style with a heavily attended event!
Quoted from Jodester:A little impromptu gathering last night
Thank you for hosting the league finals on Thursday and then inviting us over last night! Man, Deadpool is really an awesome game.
Quoted from Nevus:Mudflaps and I got to reactor 5 today in 4P co-op
Nice! Zukboy2002 finally made it through reactor 6 on 4 player co-op. We had to take out the power ball and put in all steel balls. Took us many attempts. One day we will destroy reactor 9!
We had some guests over tonight. TNA was, as usual, The Game of the evening. @thenotrashcougar, your game is incredible and keeps getting more popular. Oh, and Megatron bravely guarded the door! 77C28ED6-1D0B-4B34-AFCE-9D7E25FBE819 (resized).jpeg50518AD6-DE7E-4FE3-AC73-6FD7F59E900E (resized).jpeg0A3B3206-F9CF-488A-9A6F-A53D7EE2E1BD (resized).jpeg1C9E544F-D7B8-45F2-99D7-E432658E6444 (resized).jpeg
Well, tomorrow GB makes the journey back home. Benjamin and I got it loaded up tonight since Wendell and I are taking off early in the morning tomorrow to see Nevus.
I’m a big believer in packing up games thoroughly. Can you spot all the different items being used here (in addition to the two packing blankets) to help secure the game in its position and make sure it is safe and doesn’t bang the dolly on the drive?

Rumor has it that the no good Louisiana IFPA representative has clandestine plans to abandon his post and play in the Mississippi state championships instead of playing with the rest of us Cajuns. We must get out our pitch forks and torches and show him the error of his ways. 
Quoted from scottslash:I get my elbow back this Friday and have nothing to lose, so I might go ahead and play. Keep me in the loop please! pinball-is-great
Instead of “sweep the leg”, it’s going to be “bump the elbow”.
Yikes! That’ll be a clean up.
I had glass break on scottslash ‘s TSPP a few weeks ago, luckily it was while it was being put on the ground and not over the machine. Was crazy, I was holding glass one second and the next second nothing...it just evaporated into a couple hundred thousand pieces.
The crackling sound the glass made for about a minute after it disintegrated was pretty wild to, I’d never expierenced that in the hobby before.
Quoted from Nevus:Tiger or Jodester can you make this a Key Post?
Marked as a key post.
I think Jodester, PavBall and I are all flying. If Keith has my Catacomb finished in time it could potentially go there. If we are going to try to be by the Pinside booth (which is a great idea) we need to coordinate with Xerico
Quoted from Pinball-is-great:Thanks TigerLaw for your efforts to get the machines ready for the upcoming Louisiana State Pinball Championship.
Hope it's an exciting and fun day of pinball for all of the state championships.
Yep, Titan bands fully installed on all machines in the tourney other than Sorcerer, TNA, and TSPP. Speed came over to help me play test all the games. Ryan Bell did a great job for those needing a pintech.
Quoted from Pinball-is-great:For a 4-pin line-up, these are pretty awesome. Playing pinball w/ Zukboy is always a blast
He could host a 16 player matchplay style tourney with those four machines. Need to move them into the game room.
Quoted from Zukboy2002:Im working on trying to have a tournament sometime this year. not sure on location yet
How is the work on BSD coming along?
Yea, major bummer about Varkon. It has been such a reliable game for four years...now, four days before the tourney it may be toast and we are not entirely sure what happened to it...a coil locked on we believe but we do not know why.
We may need a substitute game for the side tourney, we will discuss with Pinball-is-great and make a decision Saturday morning.
Quoted from jsm172:Anybody near Houston want a GotG? Seems like a steal to me. houston.craigslist.org link
That is a smoking deal for a premium! Speed , check it out.
I’m thinking of having scottslash ‘s TSPP be the side tourney game. I’d like it to be in the main tourney as well though, perhaps it can be. Will discuss with
Jodester and
Pinball-is-great and make a decision Saturday.
Warm up starts at 11:30am I believe. Thanks all.
Quoted from Mudflaps:Sad to say we’ll be moving early this summer. Off to areas unknown...
Sorry to hear it. We will miss you.
Quoted from Nevus:Mudflaps invitational.
The perfect name for your spring tourney!
Quoted from Pinball-is-great:it seems like not much IFPA pinball league action going on right now.
The Lake Charles league is off to a good start. We had lines of people waiting to play the games on Tuesday. We normally finish a league session in two hours. It took us three hours and fifteen minutes for everyone to get their games in Tuesday.

Hello everyone.
Romp in the Swamp (I think it is VI) will be on Sunday, April 14th. It will have one big main tourney using the match play format similar to what the Moncla Mafia utilize (though it will have a small variant to their format). It will have one sizable side tourney using the best game format (probably four games will be in play).
If anyone wants to bring an EM that game would be welcome. I plan to reach out to Sean and see if he can do some of those bangers or otherwise cater the event for us.
I hope some of our friends from Mississippi can join us and I hope some of our friends from Texas can join us. We will create the pages and IFPA entries soon with more details.
*Note, I had to change the date above from the Saturday the 13th to Sunday the 14th due to an unmovable schedule conflict I had.*
Romp in the Swamp VI is now up on Pinside and has been submitted to IFPA: https://pinside.com/pinball/events/romp-in-the-swamp-vi-plus-side-tourney-2019
Save the date for April 14th, should be a fun Sunday.
Romp in the Swamp VI and it’s side tourney we’re both approved by the IFPA. I still don’t have the food situation worked out but I certainly will.
I also see that Mississippi is looking at having another tourney in April. Perhaps a group of us can head over in a single vehicle and stay the night before or something.
Quoted from cadmium:The Dronets are a strong maybe!
That would be fantastic! I hope you all can make it. We’ve really been wanting to get over to you guys but it’s of course tough with a 2 year old.
PavBall, Jodester, and I are considering having a second side tourney exclusively on TSPP like we did during the Louisiana IFPA championships. TSPP is still resetting on occasion so it is likely not going to be in the main tourney but as a stand alone single best game side tourney (like it was at the state championship) it would do well. There would be no extra fee, it would just an extra IFPA event...it wouldn’t be worth many points but it would be a lot of fun.
The four games in the side tournament are currently planned to be: Varkon, TNA, AFM, and QS. These four games are subject to change but they are the four shortest ball time games in the house at the moment so we plan to use those for the side tournament.
I do plan to add the extra side tourney for TSPP. Probably will do that tomorrow.
Thanks!
Quoted from Mudflaps:Listed my ST gang, though I’m pretty sure you guys all have one.
I might know a buyer for your Star Wars when you are ready to move on from that one bro. What happened to your black hole?
That is a good trade! TNA is incredible, best with friends to enjoy it with though.
PavBall tells me she’s ready for me to trade/sell CSI. I really like the game and just put Titan bands and cliffy’s everywhere on it, it plays fast as heck...but when PavBall tells me to move on from a game that is generally the end of that games life expectancy in my collection.
I’ll list the game on Pinside eventually, maybe next week...not in any rush. If someone in our area has been itching for a CSI let me know.
Alright, I have added the second side tournament and edited the event page on Romp VI to show it is included: https://pinside.com/pinball/events/romp-in-the-swamp-vi-plus-side-tourney-2019
I took the liberty of plugging in a photo of Megatron while I was at it so we didn't have just a blank thing for the event photo. LOL
*Please remember to check the attending box if you are planning to come. I am still working on lining up the food and that will help me to know how many people are coming.
Has anyone heard from Spg101 in awhile? He has not been on Pinside. I’m holding open the food for Romp VI in hopes he may smoke the meat for us. Those bangers he did last year may well be the best smoked meat I’ve ever had. Thanks!
Quoted from Nevus:Brisket will be on display at next Replay AKA Mudflaps Invitational.
Mudflaps and I are working a deal to trade TWD for Black Hole, I expect it to be here for tournament time.
Sounds great! Do we have a date for the tourney? Thanks!
Quoted from Nevus:Red River Replay Mudflaps Invitational is set for Saturday May 18.
Details to come soon.
Barksdale Air Show is that weekend. If you stay overnight, you could attend the air show on Sunday!
https://barksdaleafbairshow.com/
Should be able to make it (of course I have to run it by Pav before I confirm for certain and make sure we can get an all day sitter and what not).
Alas, the Moncla mafia where better representatives for Louisiana than I, the champion of California (pictured below) had me packing my bags pretty quick. But the North American IFPA Championships were fun. Here are some quick photos:

And TSPP is now officially ready for Romp VI!!! Next up is Medusa’s bitch ass... Oh, another picture from Vegas with Gary. FC8F5EC7-8EB6-4D48-A151-85A9A0D9E9F2 (resized).jpeg
Quoted from scottslash:Had to drill several holes in the playfield and get rid of the Vengeance ship, but it works great!
We have a repeat winner in the Lake Charles league. PavBall took first place after eleven weeks of grueling competition.
She clearly has my number as she has now knocked me out of two leagues and two tourneys since Feb 2018. Anyway, congrats to PavBall and thank you everyone who participated.
The next league begins on April 30th. 3BBF61A1-190A-4C59-A707-DC6B3670474D (resized).jpeg
Minor issue with submitting the tourney results from Sunday: I accidentally used the wrong email address when registering the main tourney and primary side tourney (though oddly I used the correct email for TSPP side tourney...so those results should post tomorrow). I’ve had to email the ifpa and ask them to fix the email associate with submitting the results so I can submit the results. Might be later in the week before this gets squared away and the results are posted. My appologies for the delay. Thanks.
Beaumont appears to be the next tournament on the list for our club and is on May the 4th. Who all is attending? Make sure to mark as attending here: https://pinside.com/pinball/events/shoot-again-shootout-2019
A Friday night tournament on May 31st in Lake Charles has been tendered to the IFPA. This is not intended to be a big tournament (just a quick after work tourney on a Friday night), but everyone is certainly very welcome to attend. @jodester will not be attending this tourney due to a schedule conflict so if a game goes down during the tournament it really will be down. Here is a link:
https://pinside.com/pinball/events/contraband-pirate-tournament-w-side-tourney-2019
I am unsure what game is going to replace CSI in the office line up (assuming, of course, it has sold by May 31st). I may move TAF to the office for league for the summer/fall or I may put Star Trek back up there. Greg has discussed loaning his Sopranos to the league for the summer/fall and @jodester has mentioned possibly loaning Transformers at some point. We do plan on changing up the line up a bit from the winter/spring league session.
Alright gang, I submitted the results to the ifpa for Romp VI and the side tourney. My appologies for the delay and special thanks to Pinball-is-great for helping me sort out the ifpa submittal issue.
Pinball-is-great does an absolute superb job as our Louisiana ifpa rep and it’s much appreciated. The results should post tomorrow sometime.
Quoted from Bfults:This was my 1st Pinball Tournament and I had a great time. Pinball is a life long love of mine and I had no idea there was a community out there! I am super excited to be involved and can't wait for any future events! I will be there! I'll post a few pics I took last weekend
Thanks for posting the pictures! I speak for all of us when I say we are super happy to have another person join our small group of pinheads here in Lake Charles and we are looking to you joining the league on April 30th.
Quoted from Arcade:We have confirmed with Sean in Houston that his fantastic smoked brisket will be arriving at our tournament in Beaumont on May 4th.
Even if you don't play in the tourney it is worth making the trip just for this melt in your mouth brisket.
We will also be providing all the sides. Beans, potato salad, rolls and the like.
So let's play some great pinball games and gain a few pounds while we do it.
Oh man, that is big news for May the 4th! Sean's food is nothing short of phenomenal.
Did anyone take any photos of the Mafia’s tourney?
Also, Arcade let me know when you guys are coming by to pick up CSI to stream. Maybe mention your twitch channel in the for sale thread: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/for-sale-csi-crime-scene-investigation-9#post-4977524
WavingWilly , I may need a hand or two to pick up Sopranos from Greg (he’s going to let me watch over it for the summer).
Quoted from Mudflaps:How was BK SOR?
I wonder how it’s selling? I’ve heard very little about the release. I wish Lyman did the code.
So, it appears the Shreveport tourney is next up. Lake Charles is confirmed for sending five players to Shreveport. Who else is in for Nevus tourney?
After Shreveport what is next? Is the group up for a summer time Romp? Summers are often not as well attended as other times of the year but we are down for hosting if you guys are down for playing. Let us hear your thoughts.
Quoted from Nevus:It could be any Stern. Maybe even a NIB Avengers Premium! They are quite rare
I would love a nice dialed in Avengers machine to play!
Quoted from Nevus:Great day. Thanks to all that traveled to Shreveport
Thank you for hosting another fantastic and smooth tourney! The brisket was excellent as well.
I think I mentioned this but the current iteration of your collection is easily my favorite version you’ve had. Those classic games in particular are stunning and adding Beatles into the bunch was great.
Quoted from Nevus:New GC Sunday morning after cleaning the game. Glass on!
I’m really enjoying this game.
Wow! That is a serious score!
Any one know when the Beaumont tourney will post to IFPA website? Arcade ?
Please remember to let click the attending box if you believe you can make it to the Contraband Pirate Tourney in Lake Charles on Friday, May 31st:

Quoted from cadmium:The Dronets are planning on attending. We're passing through on the way to Florida. Thanks!
That is fantastic! I might recruit one of you to help me enter scores if possible.
Quoted from Jodester:I have to say I am jealous of your last two acquisitions Chris. I would like both of those games in my collection. It just sucks that I will have to sell something to make space for one.
Gosh, same here. The Shreveport collection is pretty fantastic. Nevus has amassed a stellar collection and DI and Beatles has made it even better. I want to get that Blackhole for the office!
Quoted from lizzyd:Looking forward to the end of the school year on Friday and a little pinball to celebrate! Tiger, what games will we be playing in the Contraband?
p.s. My dad may stop by. I told him to dress for the office.
The main tourney will be: TAF (we are moving it to the office tomorrow), WOZ (note my monkey is broken), Seawitch, Dragonfist, Doctor Who, and Iron Man.
The side tourney will be on Safe Cracker.
Quoted from TigerLaw:The main tourney will be: TAF (we are moving it to the office tomorrow), WOZ (note my monkey is broken), Seawitch, Dragonfist, Doctor Who, and Iron Man.
Upon further consideration and discussion with PavBall and
Jodester and Greg, I am going to pull Dragonfist due to reliability issues and CSI will be in the main tourney in its place.
Quoted from Nevus:Any weekend tournaments coming up? (Sry Tiger I can’t make Friday nights).
Jodester has been talking about potentially having a July 5th tourney at his place. We may potentially do a romp in August but it’s not locked in stone.
Quoted from Arcade:Preston sent it in a few days ago.
Sorry, he just plain forgot to do it, but they have the results.
Should be up soon.
Looks like the IFPA updated some May events today but still nothing on the Beaumont tourney as of yet.
Wow, happy to say we had 27 attendees to the Friday night tourney.
We only had six games in the main (and the tourney director neglected to turn off extra balls) so the total event went for four and half hours start to finish...but it was pretty awesome. We had people attending from New Orleans and had six competitors from Houston. Thank you to all those that attended and a special thanks to Elizabeth for helping me out with the scoring entry.

Many results posted yesterday (some very recent) but still not Beaumont. You guys should request your Texas IFPA rep Xerico find out what is happening. Preston should forward
Xerico both the email confirming he submitted the results and proof he tendered the IFPA the fee, with that
Xerico can figure out what has happened. Thanks.
Alright, I’ve submitted both the main tournament and side tournament from last night to the IFPA. I’ve already received the email that what I submitted is being reviewed and my account shows them as submitted and paid for and only pending review. They will post by Monday.
Quoted from EasternBloc:Really enjoyed meeting so many fine folk in Lower Left Louisiana. Thanks Tigerlaw for hosting!
Really glad you made it in. You are welcome any time.
Quoted from Nevus:Sept 28
I have a conflict on this date. I could reserve and lock in any of the other three dates at this time. Thanks!
Well, we’ve had some pins moving in the Lake Charles area.
Congrats to Bfults on his first NIB pin, having another Deadpool in town will be awesome.
I hope you enjoy the CSI Dgiles ; we will deliver it to you on Saturday when we go pick up the BSD from
ulmpharmd Speaking of which, thank you so much
ulmpharmd for selling me your BSD, I’ve passed on so many BSD acquisition opportunities in the hopes you would one day sell me yours...easily the nicest BSD I’ve ever seen. It’ll be taking the slot in my home collection that Medusa has been in since 2016 and I do not see it leaving.
Medusa is back with HEP getting a tune up by the master himself before going to live at my office in Metairie as my only game there.
My Dragonfist sold to a pretty darn impressive collector out of New York. I’m sure getadam will enjoy the game as much as we have. Thanks to
Jodester who is going to loan me a game (I believe he mentioned Solar Ride) to fill the slot being left vacant by Dragonfist until either Danesi 2 or JJP GnR are available for purchase.
Jodester and I are considering parting ways with our Seawitch at some point during the last quarter of 2019 and going in together on a Beatles Gold if it makes it into the Stern Rewards program, but we aren’t really 100% sure on this yet. Might still keep the Seawitch and send it to Keith Holbrook once he’s done with Catacomb, which should be soon.
Quoted from Nevus:Red River Replay will be Saturday Sept 14 2019 unless there are major conflicts with the regular attendees
PavBall tells me we have a wedding to attend on Sunday the 15th in Portland, Oregon.
I know I have work things the 24-28th out of town as well in September. I’m otherwise pretty open (but please do not feel the need to schedule around me by any means).
Quoted from PavBall:Jodester and Tiger need to register the next league as the current one is ending in two weeks.
Done. Late-summer league starts on July 30th.
Special thanks to Jodester for loaning Solar Ride to the league for next season. The game has taken the place of CSI up at the office and will be there for the league season beginning on July 30th (could someone select it as one of the games for the finals next week?).
WOZ is also leaving the office for league next season, big thanks to Speed who has let us enjoy this amazing game for almost 18 months now. We do not know as of now what will be replacing WOZ. We will try and make some decisions on that point over the next week or two.

Quoted from Jodester:I was using my mental powers to play pinball. I just wave my arms a bunch
That explains why your games kept mysteriously going down! You were taking the batteries out of the games people were getting high scores on. Telekinesis!
Quoted from Bfults:Great Event!!! I can hardly wait for the next one
You are only two machines away from being able to host the next event!
The Scales of Pinball 3 has been submitted for approval by the IFPA as a Friday, August 9th event at the office location in Lake Charles. There will be a side tournament. This tourney is a best game format tourney, not match play.
https://pinside.com/pinball/events/the-scales-of-pinball-3-w-side-tourney-2019
When Greg and Janin have returned in the fall there will be a larger full blown Romp in the Swamp weekend of pinball events. This is not that, this is just a quickie. Come join us on the 9th of August.
The Summer League results have been submitted to the IFPA electronically and are pending review and approval from Adam Becker.
The next Lake Charles league begins on July 30th and the next tournament is on August 9th. Thanks.
Courtesy heads up, The Scales of Pinball 3 may have to move from it's August 9th date to August 16th or an even later date due to a potential scheduling conflict on my end (work matter that has popped up that is outside of my control). I plan to email the IFPA and Pinball-is-great to see what I need to do to change up the date if they will let me. Otherwise, the event may be canceled. Thanks.

I should know by Thursday whether I have to cancel the August 9th date. I'm doing everything in my power to be able to keep this date. I've reached out to the IFPA and copied Pinball-is-great to loop them in to scheduling issue. I'll post here on Thursday with the final word. Thanks.
Alright, the change is official. The Scales of Pinball 3 event has been moved to Friday, August 23rd. Sorry for the inconvenience of having to move the date of the event.

We did some pin repair yesterday evening by the way. We found a little helper. 2F16F97B-8C38-447D-A5C7-98C37DFE0233 (resized).jpeg7299CCDA-C535-4FA5-9AF8-25376F462362 (resized).jpeg97C0C2BF-1282-4483-A47A-78144F683AB6 (resized).jpegE8F8DCBC-FBA0-4F3D-AC5B-4FA535163E86 (resized).jpegE4AFC684-0AE5-4D54-A840-B8FD3475A767 (resized).jpeg
Quoted from PoBoyPinball:You need to find him a Zizzle game for him to play.
I would totally pick one up if I could find one for the right price...but those things sell on eBay now for more than they sold when they were new...it’s crazy.
Enjoy our trip to see Zukboy2002
