Williams, 1988Starting next tuesday, and the 3rd tuesday of all upcoming months, I will be running a single elimination tournament at Brixies Bar in Brookfield, illinois. There will be a $5 entry fee and coin drop for the games. Their current pinball lineup includes STTNG, Stern Star Trek and metallica le.
For more info : http://brixies.com/
Brixies is located at 9526 Ogden in Brookfield. The tourny will start at 7pm, You can practice up to that time.
Hope to see you there !!
Awesome. Looking to move out to that area soon.
I've never played in a tournament, so I'm curious: what does "coin drop for the games" mean? $5 entry plus you pay for each play? If that's the case, I'm assuming the "coin drop" is not included in the tournament pot and just goes to the operator, correct?
Quoted from supercombo:Awesome. Looking to move out to that area soon.

Yep, you guessed correct. It's $5 just for the tourney and then you pay the normal price for the games.

just like any game on site the cost per game goes to site / operator and entry fees go to the tournament pot that has 100% payout.
Decent turnout tonight considering it's the first month, and the weather. RazerX was there to fix any little issues that cropped up. I was lucky enough to win the main tourney, and lost in round one of the consolation tourney. Spent all my winnings on great beer (Surly Darkness!) and food. Got to Kobayashi Maru a couple times on Star Trek pro, and put up the grand champ score. I doubt you can have a better time on a cold Tuesday night.
Good times and a good vibe going on.
There was not much waiting around, we got through the tourney pretty quick and had an additional non-IFPA points tourney after that for anyone who wanted in. Looking forward to next month.
I was so impressed with the food I brought some home for the wife. Free soup and $1 off on American craft beer on Tuesday. This, plus competetive pinball!?..... It's marked on my calendar monthly. Great escape for me!
Quoted from tomaszb1:Man I have band practices on Tuesday nights... maybe I'll fake sick for a few.
It is only once a month and MM should be back by this time next month

Will there be a color dmd in the MM?
The next monthly "free soup tuesday" tournament will be on tuesday 2-18 at 730p.
We are starting a little later .
Brixies gives a free cup of soup on tuesday to
all customers, and last time they had cream of potatoe which was excellent !!
And I have been told MM is back there !! trolls !!
Hope to see you there !!
No soup for you come back next month
Quoted from ARTMAN:This is tonight folks. I won't be there so "no soup for me!"

Does this mean we're sans Brackelope? I guess I could run it on my phone if no one brings an iPad. Or maybe Dave will draw names out of a hat, old school.

Not sure about Brackelope but I know Dave will make sure the results survive a zombie apocalypse if need be. 
Ah yes.... My opening round long lasting match..... as the youngster steps up needing a monumental third ball and then accomplishing it. A repeating scenario that has me a bit snake bit..... pun intended.

It was a good match buddy! We both played well. I gotta say though, that was probably my best comeback so far.
Quoted from out_of_order:Its time again for our next monthly tournament at Brixies. See you next tuesday 3/18 at 730p.
Is my high score still on the MM?
Quoted from RazerX:With attendance of this steadily increasing and to keep the night moving, we'll have a special guest for tonight...
setup MGOW last night for tourney use. It will be there for the tourney tonight only.
Planning on having a 4th "special guest pin" every month going forward.20140415_001237-260.jpg 98 KB
Cool more games
Props to Dave Hegge for an epic finals match on Metallica LE last night. After ball one I was ahead 55m to like 2m. Dave crushed ball 2 and 3, collected a 49m FTB jackpot, and ended with 185m. I completed FTB on ball 3, had the jackpot lit, started double scoring, and bricked the shot. Argh! Would have been at least a 90m jackpot. I finished with 135m. Good for high score 1, no good for the tourney win.

I gotta say, it was pretty entertaining to watch 2 skilled players put up some nice scores and duke it out like this.
Looks like there's a schedule overlap at Brixie's this month, due to CCBW (Chicago craft beer week).
Craft Beer Goes Punk: http://chibeerweek.com/event/?eid=149
On Tuesday May 20, we'll be at Brixie's Beer Bar & Grill along with 3 fantastic local bands: the Hamburglars, the Phenoms, Et Tu Brute. Show starts at 8pm. No Cover. 3 BuckleDown Beers on tap for your drinking pleasure... along with the rest of Brixie's awesome draft list.
I dunno how much it would impact the tourney, but it's hard to imagine playing a 4th guest pin on the stage side of the room.
Quoted from justfury:IFPA lists 2 tournaments at Brixies for tomorrow.
That a double post?
seems like it both point to

As far as i know, we are only running one main tournament tonight, and a possible consolation round (no wppr points).
