Just curious, what qualifies a state to have a State Championship? I help organize what I think is the only event(s) in Tennessee. At this point we're much too small to have a championship, but I have had people in the past ask about it. Hopefully we'll have enough growth to have one next year.
Quoted from swampfire:You guys have the Gameroom Galaxy arcade, so I'm actually surprised that TN isn't in the list. Is it just due to a lack of players? Maybe I should compete up there, where I have a better chance, lol.
Come on up - the more the merrier. Our events are at Game Galaxy, so there is the luxury of choosing among 80 machines! We average around 7-10 players per event. As far as IFPA points go, we have a 'monthly tournament' instead of a league, so you can actually get a few points if you come up and win. Usually the first Saturday of the month, but check www.midtnpinball.com for more details. Sorry for the thread hijack.
Quoted from ifpapinball:For those 'on the bubble' that may lose interest and stop playing, at some point the SCS, WPPR, etc. shouldn't be your ultimate decision maker on whether you go out and play in something. People should want to get out and play because it's FUN, with the SCS/WPPR stuff being one of those additional motivating factors to make things more enjoyable.
This statement makes way too much sense to appear on an Internet forum. Please don't let it happen again.
Quoted from ifpapinball:Never got a volunteer to step up as the State Rep and handle the logistics of running the State Championship.
Either that, or everyone in Tennessee saw that we take $100 out of the prize pool for Nationals, and this is their protest
To follow up on a week old post...
I help run pretty much the only event held in TN and we have monthly tournaments. Our currently group is small with only a few regulars but we're slowly growing. Josh jokes, but I'm not sure we would have 16 people show up for a state championship, and certainly not 16 that could commit to playing in the finals.
But the good news is we are steadily growing and have one of the best arcades in the US as our home base (http://gamegalaxyarcade.com/). Any of you travelling through Nashville should check it out. Who knows, if you come on a tournament day you may have a shot if we have a 2016 State Championship!
