Hello fellow Pinballaz I'm just moving to the Corpus Cristi area and have been looking for places to play and other peiple to play with, I have been on Houston the past year and a half and have been involved with the Space City Pinball League and the Wood and Brews selfie league, it has been a wonderful experience and we have really seen it grow in the past year, im looking to start a similar movement in the Corpus area. Instead of complaining about the lack of pinball in the area, lets do our part to reawaken the pinball giant in the area, I have a few ideas but many minds are better than one. Let me know what ya think and lets bring pinball back to Corpus!!!!

Is anyone going to TPF with a good size trailer? I am flying this year and have items I will need to bring back. Right now I know I'll have a widebody Bally play field and possibly the guts of the acrylic bingo if someone brings them down from St Louis. Will offer physical labor(loading/unloading/setup at the show) and gas money in exchange.

Having a public tournament at Mg's pizza on 01/20 (date isn't completely set in stone). During this time I will be taking names down to see who is interested in joining/volunteering for the league that I will be starting. Think im gonna call it "Coastal Pin" its a play off "the Coastal bend"... Mg's pizza has Attack from mars, sharkeys shootout, xfiles and f14 tomcat

Actually the tournament will land on a Tuesday or Wednesday. I'm guessing in a couple weeks. When the date is actually set ill message everybody. I would of liked to do it on the weekend but the owner said Tuesday or Wednesday was best cause there's a bunch of kids in the arcade on the weekend

Great turn out last night! 15 player - 3 strike tournament. Had a blast, and took first place! The "South Texas Bumper Bashers" pinball league (we changed the name) will be putting together monthly tournaments. Get with me for details

Just an update. Since all this started, we have a facebook group https://m.facebook.com/groups/374063836593520

We are the Oldest and Longest Consecutive running pinball group and Tournament leader in the Corpus Christi Area.

We are now Sponsored as a Stern Army Location, and have another sponsor Karbach Brewery.

Our home location is Tapology pub on Staples in Corpus Christi, Texas and they have 40 craft beers on rotating taps.

I rotate my collection of pins, and keep them serviced.

We do monthly tournaments, and giveaways.
