    When/will the tournament be streamed? Is there a schedule or link for that?

    Quoted from chuckwurt:

    this was mentioned a few posts back.

    Doh, got distracted by the upside down comic picture right below it and missed that post completely. That's a bummer though. Was hoping to get a fix today.

    Quoted from mikepin:

    You guys need to come here..There are so many pinballs and video games to play It SO HUGE somehow I dont feel its been promoted much more than the tournrament . There hase never been a show like this EVER .Get off your butts and comedown to insure it will happen again..It NOT just for tournrament people Its for EVRYONE kids too.. DOnt miss this world class event

    Replay FX, and not the Pinburgh competition on its own has been advertised on the stream of every large pin tournament I have seen for months now, and likely longer. That's not to say that those streams are the only way it should have been advertised, but if you stream tournaments, you have been told about Replay FX. I was talking to a friend yesterday at work about how I really wished I was there. Putting it on my to do list for next year.

    Quoted from neurokinetik:

    Speaking of more players, what are the thoughts on the Pinburgh entry cap for 2016? Will we see it opened up more, since we did not get 700 even with the wait list? How many would actually show up if it were capped at a much higher number?

    I am going next year and was a little shocked at the fact that there weren't the full 700 players. I can see a few no-shows, but almost 50 is a pretty big chunk. Maybe next year they can have a backup/waiting list for those who were at the show but didn't get a spot of the first 700. Fill the ranks a little more and get some extra entry fees.

    Quoted from stevevt:

    While there were a bunch of dropouts, my impression is they were out of line as a percentage of the overall field. I also think it's pretty clear Pinburgh and competitive pinball is on a great trajectory right now.
    Pinburgh 2011: 86 players
    Pinburgh 2012: 266 players
    Pinburgh 2013: 389 players
    Pinburgh 2014: 400 players
    Pinburgh 2015: 650 players
    There was a waiting list this year, as in the past.
    Some speculation based on what I heard: There were a decent number of last-minute dropouts that would have been able to be back-filled had they not occurred at the last minute. I don't imagine that's really avoidable, so let's try to keep it positive when there are merely ~680 players next year.

    This is great growth and if they don't up the number next year, having 680 playing would be a pretty good goal IMO.

    Get that group in an area before it starts and just start reading names off a list over a megaphone. That person isn't there, NEXT!
