PAPA Circuit event question. Last year there was a WPPR cutoff to be eligible for B division playoffs. IIRC it was 250. Is that the way it will be this year as well?
Will there be a B division this year?
Quoted from Zaxxis:There will be a B division and IFPA cutoff will be 300.
Quoted from Zaxxis:Game list isn't solidified, as I know PAPA is trying to source some games from other folks.
I'm bringing Spider-Man for the tournament and unless work stuff comes up, will also bring 3 other games. Globetrotters, MM, Congo most likely, Tron is an alternate, but I Tron has been at so many tournaments lately, rather skip it.
I know Trent is bringing a few games, most likely Trek and ACDC, but depends on if he sells them at the Ohio Show, so they could change.
I know F14 and maybe Mousin Around are likely coming too.
Or hey, Mark could bring Robocop! 
Quoted from LOTR_breath:Thank you, thank you, thank you.(this coming from someone ranked JUST under 250!)
Ouch. Guess I read that wrong. I will just have to bring my "A" game!
Tournament details posted on the PAPA blog.

I vote not to start the Sunday finals any earlier than the scheduled time of 10AM. I was there last year and with the time change occurring Sat. night it is brutal. 
Josh, sounds like a great line-up. I hope we get some EM's from PAPA. MHS, if you are listening, I vote for Target Pool, Aztec, Hot Tip, Mars Trek. All great games!

I had a few pics from LAX to share, mostly from the tourney area. That one foot slide save that Josh Sharpe did on Congo was amazing. I got a pic of him still playing it sideways. The funny Derek Fugate shirt that Andy Rosa was wearing, the obligatory Predator pic, and a few others. Enjoy!
