Over 30 pinball machines in the tournament including some rare/special titles. Ghostbusters Premium, America's Most Haunted, Rob Zombie Spookshow International, Spider-Man Vault Edition, and if it is delivered in time The Big Lebowski!

It's typically at MSA, but out on loan at the moment.

Haha that's pretty fair, I'd have to double check but I know MSA # is in the 30's, it has been shared on their Facebook page before for sure.

Ooo I was slightly off. 43.

This is correct. Sorry I missed messages. First round is random pairings. Every round afterwards is people closest to your point total.

Descriptions of finals are correct 1-16, 17-32, 33-48, 49-64.

Top two advance each round. Bottom two keep playing for finals positions.

They will be open

Yeah Cal Extreme hooked us up with an ad and didn't even tell me, I saw it while watching live and was super pumped. I hope that we can fill this thing up. Matchplay also just added the ability to creat tournament banks so I will likely be doing just that to help split up the eras of games and balance styles closer to how Pinburgh does. If you aren't signed up get signed up, if you are signed up recruit some friends and local players!

Thanks Steve!

As some of you have probably seen I am getting out of the collectors side of the hobby unfortunately due to some sudden life changes. Unfortunately that means AMH and RZ will not be at the tournament now. If that affects anyone's desire to play please contact me and I am happy to refund you your entry fee minus $2 which is what the ticketing fee is from the website.

I truly hope it doesn't as we are looking very forward to it. The tournament is still definitely 100% taking place and should be a lot of fun pinball in over the two days.

Main Street amusements did just add a Willaims Fire as well as a Gottlieb EM Mayfair. We still have our fingers crossed that stern comes through and delivers the Ghostbusters before tournament time.

You must be Mr. Chad Hobbs! Thanks for signing up! We look forward to meeting you here. Bring a car or truck load of people with you

At this time I don't believe we will be setting this up through a specific hotel. I have posted some helpful links below though.

AirBNB has several reasonably priced options and those are all directly downtown likely within 5-10 minutes walk tops to MSA.

Kayak search engine also provided several good offers for that weekend, and again anywhere in Lafayette isn't going to be more than a 10-15 minute drive to the arcade. At the arcade there is typically plenty of street parking as well as a $1 pay lot located directly across the street.

Yes we still have 33 spots left as we just had 1 cancellation last night.

Yep, we are going to leave registration open the whole time so people can make last minute decisions if they want no big deal, we will play as many people as we can, hoping to hit at least 48 although I'd really like to fill up the full 64

oh also we put in shirt order the other day, they will be like this but with black sleeves instead of purple.

THIS EMAIL WAS SENT OUT TO ALL REGISTERED PLAYERS ABOUT AN HOUR AGO, but for those who haven't decided yet to get in on one of Indiana's biggest tournaments I'm posting it here as well.

This is just a friendly reminder that you have signed up to participate in Main Street Mayhem! The event takes place September 17th-18th at Main Street Amusements in Lafayette, IN. The doors will open at 9 AM for check-in and practice, tournament will start at 10 AM. Main Street Amusements, the awesome hosting location, will be open regular business hours on Friday the 16th, 7PM-11PM for anyone who comes to town the night before and wants to get a bit more practice in.

Games, especially some of the longer playing titles, will be modified to play tougher and shorten game times during the tournament, open outlanes, tight tilts, no ball saves....pretty normal stuff.

The t-shirts and custom plaques are literally being printed today and tomorrow and shipped out this weekend all coming from Double Danger Pinball out of Oklahoma! Because we did not fill the 64 player spots at this point in time I made some modifications to how the entry fee money was used. Your entry fee was $75, the ticket processing services fee was $2. All of the remaining $73 is being put into the prize pot, and the t-shirts, stickers, and awards are being paid for from other funds. This should still leave us with a prize pool of $2000+, pending any late registrations.

Lastly if you have not already done so I strongly encourage everyone to download the app PayRange. It is available on both Android and Apple device app stores, and Main Street Amusements will be running special pricing via the app on the games during the tournament. If you rather not use the app to pay the games do accept tokens but they will remain at full price then for the duration of the event. If less than 32 players show up on tournament day we will modify so that at least half are eliminated from the A division to insure maximum WPPR points for the event.

I am in the process of establishing the tournament banks, and will post that information publicly as soon as they are finalized. Attempts are being made to balance the banks based on ball times and eras of games, but because the location is DMD heavy some banks will obviously contain more DMD games, and some SS & EM games will be used in multiple banks.

Thank you again for choosing to come and play here. The event is designed to be fun, and encourage competitive pinball participation. We will do our absolute best to run a smooth event, and we look forward to seeing all of you.

Any questions please feel free to reach out to me via email or text. [email protected] or 574-596-2668.

Again thank you,

Tommy Skinner

Hey guys! Just finished going through this, it is not completely final because well it is pinball and who knows what could break or be added this week still....Dan was told GB Premium should be delivered this week and we are crossing our fingers, but not holding our breath! TBL is on the second container, which Dutch Pinball has not shipped to my knowledge. Spider-Man VE and Game of Thrones Premium are there and playing awesome as are all the other titles at MSA as Dan has busted his butt going through every game over the last two weeks in preparation. Lastly if you don't follow Main Street Amusements on facebook Dan announced yesterday that all coin drop from the weekend is being donated to a no kill animal shelter in Lafayette, and that everything the machines make this weekend he is going to match in donation as well, so a dollar spent at MSA this weekend = $2 to a no kill animal shelter in town! Lets face it, we all know animals are better than humans so this is a great cause!

Here are the tournament banks as they sit. I have tried to separate longer playing games from one another and coordinate banks to offer varied gameplay styles and eras of machines as best as possible. A few of the early solid states and EM machines are each used twice to help accomplish this goal.

Advice for the weekend. As timing continues to bite me in the ass on this tournament the city of Lafayette has just moved their downtown sidewalk renovation to the 600 block which means right in front of Main Street Amusements eliminating the most convenient parking directly in front of the arcade on the street. Lucking there are still lots of options for parking in the area. I made this rough sketch on top of a google map earlier today to hopefully help everyone out.

No do not need to be played in order, groups can play in any order to avoid over lapping. Agreed when tourney was planned we had 4 more SS and EM games but lineup changes happen and not much we can do.

Slight change up! I forgot to include Space Shuttle, it has replaced the duplicated use of Spanish Eyes which I am sure is a relief to some!

Also just got tracking # for our shirts and awards, they should be delivered and unveiled to the public on Thursday night!
