Back for the 5th (I think this is the 5th) annual installment is one of the LARGEST charity tournaments in the entire world.
In 2013 we raised ~$1600, 2014 was ~$2200, 2015 was ~$3600, and 2016 = $?????. I am hoping we can blow past the 5k mark this year. Pinball really is all about the people and using pinball to give back is even better!
I thought about taking a year off, but the community support for this event forced me to relent
Mad Rollin' Pinball or MRP for short is officially back for 2016. The event will be held on Sept 23-24, 2016 in Madison Wisconsin. Format will be largely similar to last year with pingolf in the morining and Pinbrawl in the afternoon on Sept 24th.
Sept 23rd will be the pre-party warm up for game bringgers, voulenteers, and large donaters.
We have not selected the charity yet, but as is tradition we will say FUCK Cancer and be supporting a local charity that does just that with reseach or helping those that are impacted. I am open to suggestions so feel free to mesage me if you know someone local that is impacted or a charity in need. 100% of ALL entry and proceeds go to the charity, which is part of what makes this event so special. There are no large cash prizes (but there are sick custom trophies), but we will all get the prize of giving back.
Registration will open after MGC. Registration will open in person at the local monthly tourneys starting in May (May 5th at Alt, May 11th at Pooleys) and then open online for any remaining slots. (special accomodations are made for all game bringgers and voulenteers so feel free to message me if you are bringging a game or flying in to voulenteer so we can get you squared away).
All of the specifics about the event can be found at www.madisonpinball.com
For now I have started a list of those bringging games and we are still looking for approximately 6 more decks to come in for the event. Current list is below.
Game bringgers and voulenteers get loads of perks: team slot reserved automatically, reduced entry cost for team, Friday night pre-party and warm up, beer and food provided by me on Friday, special raffle prizes ONLY for game bringgers, plus the knowledge that you are an integral part in the biggest (?) pinball charity competition and giving back with pinball!
Please let me know if you have any questions.
The one change for 2016 is that we will be hosting the event at ALT BREW. It is a great location and they were happy to invite us when a double-booking conflict occured with our regular location.
