OK, I forgot Star Trek, 
Division A:
Twilight Zone
Star Trek
Surf n Safari
Mousin Around
Spiderman
Quicksilver
Fish Tales
High Speed
World Cup Soccer
Wizard of Oz
OK, so I only predicted 2 games. You guys are doing a good job of keeping us guessing. And I am SO glad this is not the B bank!
I know there used to be a duplicate JM, but if Mark says there isn't I believe him. Hey Mark. Are we gonna see games announced for Classics II and III ?
Note to all C div players. Practice on the duplicate JM early before it breaks down. Seriously.
Hey Mark/Doug. Can we go ahead and get this question out of the way. Will cheat sheets be allowed for the NBAFB trivia? Thanks in advance.
Quoted from mhs:PAPA Rules Section VII #9
No player may use a camera or visual aid of any kind, other than the instructions provided by the machine, while standing at the machine. A player may review electronic or written notes in between turns of a multiplayer game or between games, but not during their own turn or between balls of a single-player game. While not actively playing, players are of course free to discuss features and strategies as much as they like, including between balls during a game, but no spectator or other player is compelled to answer, nor are they responsible for incorrect advice or answers to questions.
Quoted from Snailman:Mark, I often use my phone's timer to set a 30-60 second timer after a tilt to tell me when the tilt bob has likely settled down a bit. Still allowed?
Quoted from Whysnow:I have been reading up on C division games and I am convinced that WOF was put in it just as an evil experiment to see if even bad games in PaPa C division see a price increase after the event
WOF is the one game in that bank that seems out of place and I hope dies a fiery death prior to the competition and needs to be replaced.
Division C:
Jackbot
Johnny Mnemonic
Pirates of the Caribbean
Future Spa
Batman Dark Knight
Corvette
Addams Family
Wheel of Fortune
Attack from Mars
f14 tomcat
Seems like Future Spa would be the oddball in that group. WOF is actually a fun game to play, and since it takes a totally different flipper and nudging skill set to play well, it seems to me like a good qualifying game. It has been used before at PAPA as well, in A division qualifying.
Quoted from Whysnow:Thanks for the info/ tips on putting together a ticket. Keep them coming if you have more.
I can definately see it as being a good strategy if you are familiar with the less popular games to try and assemble a ticket with those mainly...
Unfortunately, like most people I have never even seen many of those less popular games.
Quoted from mhs:There will be a second Johnny Mnemonic. I forgot we had two of those, but I just checked the list and that's correct.
Classics II and III will be revealed sometime next week. We still need to make some decisions there.
Mousin Around has two rebound rubbers affixed to either side of the center ramp. They were made by JCS pinball and worked perfectly. The center ramp is still available, but it's a significantly tougher shot.
Their parking is limited but for a Thursday and PAPA you should have little or no problem. They have a paved lot that holds maybe 30 cars, then a gravel lot that holds maybe 20-30 more. Then you just have to find/make one around the old warehouses on the block. I think Pinburgh weekdays are the only real problem due to 400 players having to be there at the same A.M. time.
They also have been renting a large paved lot about 1/4 mile away for Pinburgh. Not sure if they will do the same for PAPA. Bottom line, don't sweat it. You'll find a place and it won't cost you anything.
So, has everyone been studying rulesheets and watching videos? Waiting with baited breath for Classics II and III. I'm out of stuff to study right now! 
Quoted from Whysnow:Thanks for the info!
Guess I better put them on my FutureSpa that arrives today
Also, are any games in C div severly crippled in any way that would change strategy? i.e. JM spinner removed or only gives 1/2 spins?
One more... Do extra balls always award points? or are they sometimes set to nothing?
Thanks in advance. Just trying to do as much research as possible.
Quoted from MagicMako:Did anyone see that A & B divisions are now also taking 24 qualifiers? When did this happen? How do people feel about this?
"UPDATE 6
Divisions A, B & C will all have 24 qualifiers. The top 8 qualifiers in each division will receive a bye."
Quoted from soren:Which reminds me. Has there been an announcement of the live coverage schedule?
Quoted from movingpictures:Is PAPA open on Wed for those not in PinBrawl?
We should be arriving in the evening and itching to play!
Quoted from MikeS:I don't think you get any WPR points for B or C. Just for A and the 2 Classics divisions.
