I think Friday when all the guys bring games meet itll be easier to set in stone. I'm just not sure everyone could keep track of all those modes being activated. My gf likes to play but I don't know about her wrapping her head around all of that. I think one or two goals to go for would be perfect 3 at the most having to at least complete 2 of them.
May do something like this...
Goal:
Complete either of the following in a single game
1. Start a multiball and collect a jackpot
or
2. Start video mode AND catch a monster fish
Cliffy Notes:
1. Start multiball by loading 3 balls into the casters club
Collect a jackpot by loading another ball into caster club during multiball and tehn hitting left orbit
or
2. Advance captive ball by hitting right orbit, hit captive ball twice, and hit left orbit to start video
3. Hit 6 alternating boat shots to start monster fish and collect at left orbit
Alternate point goal: Score 50 million before stroking out
Quoted from Whysnow:If my FT example just seems like too much I am of course open to feedback. I do appreciate your insight Jon!
I think your original FT goals are fine - it'll work with the format you have selected.
Every other PinGolf I've been to has had one goal per machine (I have a sample size of 2 though... lol), and I saw how they worked. So I was just thinking out loud about what made this one different...
I like the idea of feature-based goals a lot. It gives the players something to think about other than high scores.
Looking forward to playing with everyone on Saturday!
if anyone can remember, please bring an extra extension cord/ power bar. We could use a bunch.
We have plenty of outlets in the gym but they are confined to a few areas and I plan to spread the games out a little so things are not crammed in the corner.
thanks
Quoted from centerflank:Just got done tweaking/waxing/new ooh shiny balls on LOTR, Its going to kick your wazoo!
it was already the toughest LOTR I have ever played!!!
Quoted from ssbodyman:welded broken ball guide,soldered broken wire, put on a few new rubbers, waxed the shit out of it, set her up hard and put on a new custom message. nothing like waiting till the last minute!
Sweet, Ive never played that pin, even with your racist custom message Ill still play it, maybe even beat you on it! 
Quoted from centerflank:maybe even beat you on it!
That wont be hard unfortunately.
Quoted from TomGWI:It is so close I can taste it.
Salty?
Btw, what happened to the GI lighting on your LOTR cory? Think you have a burnt connector, because it looks like the GI's don't exist on your game. 
I took all the bulbs out to make it harder, anyone bringing a treadmill?

I have a long extension cord that goes to a 4 outlet box and a power strip (6 outlets) with a 15 foot cord I will bring.
Damn body is still on a night schedule! Or is is the excitement of MRP? 
Quoted from mattenno:If anyone wants to play in this, I need a teammate. Message me/post here right away.
In case anyone is wondering. Tully is not able to make it on Saturday morning so he had to give up his slot. I emailed through the waiting list in order of those that contacted me and Mattenno is up on deck.
If any other singles are looking to play please get a hold of him and work it out. Even if you do not find a partner, still come over on Sat morn Matt as I think there is a good chance that we ma get a local or 2 showing up hoping to play. We will make it work!
Quoted from mattenno:If anyone wants to play in this, I need a teammate. Message me/post here right away.
mattenno's skills are excellent! Anyone pairing up for Brawl with him will be getting a great partner. His IFPA record doesn't show it, but Matt has gotten 1st place in local tournaments here in Milwaukee more times than I've been able to keep track of.

Are those blinding LEDs in there? 
Really looking forward to playing some pinball tomorrow.

Man, I wish I could do this event with you..... The time of day is just too tough with my wife's work schedule.
Quoted from ralphwiggum:Man, I wish I could do this event with you..... The time of day is just too tough with my wife's work schedule.
Matt.... If you don't have someone by 6 tonight, let me know. I *might* be able to get childcare, but it is a stretch.... Hilton, what time is the event over with?
I will make some calls tonight when I get home. It is a stretch, but I am hopeful. If you get someone by then, great.... we could show them how Twistedflippers rolls....lol
Quoted from mattenno:Still haven't heard from anyone so if you are available I'm cool with it Ralphwiggum

Just heard from the babysitter, tomorrow is a no-go unfortunately. "We could have been a contender"...

Good. I can get some sleep tonight.
Totally joking of course. It would have been awesome to have you at the event Tim.
Quoted from louknees:Mad Rollin is rollin!
Indeed! Great party tonight. Thanks Hilton! Unfortunately it looks like I will "golf" tomorrow like I golf in real life. I haven't golfed in 20 years. Off to bed to sleep sound knowing the ringer Tim is not going to be there.
had a blast tonight guys! Thanks for making this all happen!!!
Preparty was great. you guys drank way less than I expected but ate way more
See you by 9:30 AM sharp.
Just got back from the pre-tourney setup.
The games are playing fast and clean!
Everyone will need to bring their A-game.
Gonna be a great competition.
Good luck to all and well done Hilton!
Quoted from PinballKen:Stupid body of mine is still on this stupid night schedule. Oh well guess I'll start drinking.
hope you had a few, I am going to need all the help I can get in competition...
Preparty was a good time and got to put on some well needed plays to try and figure out how the games play a bit. There are definitely a few set up fast and mean and getting a few plays in on them help out alot. I feel alot better about actually obtaining the goals on most of the games today.
Had a great time. Thanks Hilton for having the tournament. Really enjoyed pingolf.
It's always great to see people, old friends and new people at the tourneys. Can't wait for next year.
A very exhausting and FUN day. It will never cease to amaze me how nice pinheads are! Congrats to the winners! IT WAS A BLAST!
Just got back to home to IL. Just wanted to say thanks to all foranother great event machines were playing good and fast alittle to fast haha. It was great to see such a turn out for a good charity event shows not everything is all about money all the time supports your friends and neighbors and all else will be good. Anyways thanks again looking foward to what next year brings!
Was a fantastic day. It never ceases to amaze me how much fun these events were. Much thanks and appreciation to Hilton for putting this all together as well as Chris and the others who contributed their time to support this. I must say the entire lay out of the tournament flowed very well - and moved at a nice pace. Really enjoyed working on a goal other than points- though I did not do very well at pingolf!
Always great to meet up with everyone and meet new pinheads.
