Yes I will be there. I think I have already mentioned I was coming through our league email.

Plus I am excited to announce the Triangle Pinball Club/League is donating our surplus League money from 2013 to the fund. We are donating $150. Originally we were going to hold a mini tournament for paid 2013 members and split the money. I have received a majority blessing to donate the money instead. This is in addition to the money we donate at the door for Craig's event.

Thanks for doing this, Craig. I am actually playing in another Oursler benefit that weekend, up in Fairfax, VA. I would love to get together for some Durham league play sometime. Buying my first pin this month, probably a WCS94.

I have some items coming from Stern. I am hopeful they arrive in time for the fundraiser. In the event that the prizes do not get here in time I will be delivering them once they arrive.

I am going to be conducting the tournament. There is no additional cost, what you donate at the door is all we are asking from you. I am encouraging everyone to participate in the tournament. Don't be intimidated by others with better skills. Great way to learn the games by watching others play in competition.

Please PM me if you want to participate in the tournament. We are going to use 3 games per round for the tournament. Maybe rotate them for each round since he has so many. I have to work with Craig on that one. I am leaning towards roatation so that way the same three games aren't locked in the entire tournament.

I saw that Rocky last Feb- 2013 at doughslinger's when i Picked up my Single Owner IM .. gOOd lOOk-n Pin

Everyone have Fun !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

+1 million thumbs up.

Got the goodie box from Stern yesterday. (Jody if you are reading this, THANKS!!) WOW.... a few ST translights, a few shirts, stack of assorted flyers, some misc plastics and a huge wad of mainly ACDC pro target stickers. There were some other misc stickers for other games but the wad was mainly ADDC. Spent the evening creating 1st 2nd 3rd 4-12th place tournament packs. There will be a random drawing for one of the translights so even if you didn't participate in the tournament you can still win something cool.

I look forward to seeing everyone there tomorrow and if you do attend PLEASE play in the tournament, no extra costs but you will get to play with some great folks for a great cause with some cool Stern freebies.

WOW what a blast. We could not have had the successful evening without the hosts, Robin and Craig. They opened their wonderful home and even allowed the tournament to run longer into the evening than originally expected.

We raised $720 for the Ourslers. And I want to thank all who attended and donated! We had a local company, Joyner Realty donate a generous $100. David Joyner couldn't make it but wanted to help out. Triangle Pinball League donated $150. 9 or more of our members attended and donated individually as well. We had a great 12 player tournament. Many thanks to all who played for fun and competition.
