Louisville Arcade Expo March 6-8 2015

OK, so some games are brought in for general free play, and others are set up for tournament only? Confirm?

If that's the case that seems fair, we could live with that. Though with my luck the titles we're interested in will still be tourney-only, ha ha.

I'm looking forward to it. I have 10 and 7 yo daughters who are arguable more familiar with the NES, SNES, and '79 Intellivision than they are anything from Sony and Microsoft I liked my PS2 and 3, but these days I'm stuck in the past. So are my sibs when they visit.

Yup - last year 120 on free play, then the tournament games (maybe 10?) can't remember.

All the consoles are retro - pre 2000. So you will fit right in.

Last year totaled about 120 games if I remember right with the tourney games. Plenty of games on freeplay

Only 6 weeks away - don't forget to book your rooms before they sell out.

To do so, just give them a call and mention you are attending our show @ 1-502-491-4830

Thanks

IIRC there is no C division. Just one main tourney where the top 16 qualifiers are A div and the 17-24 are B division. You cannot qualify for B if you are above a certain WPPR ranking, usually around 200-250.

There are exponentially more pins on the free-play floor than in the tourney, so don't let that deter you from coming. I've been the last two years and it is a great show and tourney. If you are serious about the tourney, do not wait until Saturday to come. There is some great qualifying time to be had on Friday, especially if you want to do Classics and Main. Some of the heavy hitters who are usually there are Josh Henderson, Bob Mathews, The Rosa's, The Leffkof's, Trent Augenstein, Steve Bowden, Lyman, Jason Werdrick, and the Sharpe's. Oh, and me, I guess I could be considered a "heavy hitter".

I bought a pin and a friend sold a pin there last time. I seen several sell. plenty of buyers.
the ones that didn't sell had too high of price tags. people aren't dumb. if you are smart enough to find and go to a show , you aren't paying retail.

This will be my fourth year going to this Expo, and every year it's gets bigger and better with more pinball machines and exhibitors. Eventually this show might have to be moved to a bigger venue.

Is there a running list of what people have registered to bring? I was thinking there was on the site last year, but I'm not seeing it now. It might affect what people commit to bring so that there aren't a lot of duplicates, but it's also fun to review and anticipate playing specific games.

There was someone selling them last year for $25 each or 5 for $100. He started selling them Thursday night during setup. I got 5 as soon as he rolled them out. I'm not sure if he sold out quickly or had some available later into the weekend.

Trent was selling them, he usually does. And they always sell out as far as I know. Everyone loves new glass.

Alrighty. Changed my reservation to Friday and Saturday for the hotel. I didn't think I was goin to be able to go at all, now I should be there all weekend. Hopefully I can qualify for Classics or Main. Don't care where I finish, just want to qualify and see what happens from there. Should be a blast, cannot wait!

Games are generally supposed to be set up on Thursday. I think some people aren't able to get there until Friday, but for the most part things are set up by the time the expo opens on Friday. If you're only planning to go one day, in my experience Friday is the ideal day to go for number of games that are set up and crowd size.

Of course, if you bring a game, you might just get some crowd-free early access on Thursday...
