I can most likely bring any of my machines, except WOZ, dont want to mess up my baby! Also, how does one go about joining IFPA? never been to any tourney or points gathering.

Sunday Sunday Sunday !
Metal Meltdown.....this is gonna be one for the books.

As far as I know, you don't need to join. As long as you're playing in their sanctioned events, you'll start accumulating points right away. Obviously, the more you participate in them, the better that is for increasing your ranking.

You'll find your scores posted on their website soon after they're submitted by the tournament organizers.

You can also make a profile to go along with your name on their site, too. http://www.ifpapinball.com/menu/user-profile

Hope this helps!

I live in Fountain Square and would put my Simpsons Pinball Party in the tournament if someone would be willing to help me move it.

Debating hitting St. Louis show on Mon. too. If anybody wants to roadtrip it's on.

That would be amazing. We can help with the transportation, too. That goes on all machines in the Indy area, by the way!

Zionsville, IN (NW side of Indy) here. New to this forum. I've had a JD for over a year now. Has a couple annoying issues that I'd like to fix myself. However I am new to the hobby and not very handy. Anybody I can contact for help on this machine? My neighbor has a Laser War in really bad shape. If someone makes house calls, could look at both machines while in the area.

We've talked about heading to MSA forever. Need to make the trip. May be a able to make the Thurs night league happen now that golf season is pretty much over.

League is Tuesday nights. Load up your game and bring it with you MSA does repairs very reasonably and if you ever want to sell the Dredd let me know I've wanted one for awhile.

Man I would love to bring it up for you to work on while I play your games. Just such a pita to get it out of my basement. If I get my wife on board for the new run of Met Premiums, I'd like to use my JD to learn how to fix machines. Plus my kids may shoot me if I sell it. They love the multiball game mode. I think bladefury has a JD for sale up in Ft Wayne?

What time does league start on Tuesday?

Anyone know where I can buy a pinball dolly around the Indy area? Or do I buy it online?

Don't need it to be able to take pins up and down stairs. Just want to be able to move them around my basement easily and reattach legs when I get new machines.

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/modified-harbor-freight-lift-table

That's what I use and Indy's HF usually has them in stock at at least one of their stores. Pick up a dolly to roll games in and out of house while you are at it and you are all set.

Nice... thanks! My neighbor has a bounce house that he rents out and has a huge appliance dolly that works well up and down stairs. He's getting a 2nd pin so I'm going to buy this dolly to move pins around our basements. Use his up and down stairs if needed.

Fountain Square Classic.
Something to look forward to after Expo....bringing Mustang.

Going to MSA Saturday. Got a good crowd this time, around 8 or 9 people. Anyone else interested?

Just found out I was free saturday but fountain square is sold out. Best of luck to those who entered.

Cutter's Way, a bar on second street has a Addam's Family. That is about it.

One spot just opened up! Feel free to reach out to me and we can make this happen.

Thanks!

Already contacted Captain Kirk about going to MSA instead. Going to play pins one way or another.

Thanks I'll try to remember it for next time.

Getting ready for a major ass whopping on Sat. I've been to 4 Expos, 3 whorehouses and 2 goat-fuckings, but never played in a tournament. Never been so stoked for a beatdown.
Last place still gets...a beer....so I'm good.

Should this be moved to The Confessional??

Thanks to everyone who came out for the 4th Annual yesterday. What an awesome time! Great to get to meet some of you guys! See you all next year!

There wasn't a stream was there? I really wanted to come but couldn't maybe next year.

My JP made it in the news clip of the event--for a quick second!
