Pinburgh competition will be pretty much mid-morning until late at night Thurs and Fri. Long schedule! there are some .5-1 hour breaks and a longer one for dinner to check out the rest of Replay in the same location. (We used to dedicate this time to parking-lot tailgating!) Sat will be playoffs and consolation tourney. So Sat eve and Sunday should be clear for all.

I got a Spy VIP package. For an extra $50 or so, you get 2 t-shirts, some raffle tickets, a mixer Friday and afterparty Saturday. Seemed like the sweet spot for me--other pricier VIP packages include an entry into the arcade tourney, an extra t-shirt, and prime seminar seating (which will likely clash with pinburgh play!)

I suspect it may be sold out by now. Less than 100 spots left at 12:06. EDIT: @papapinball tweeted less than 50 spots left after 7 minutes (12:07pm).

Oh my.
