    I know it only the beginning of February, but I want to know that I will try to start up the Pinside March Madness again this year. Will MM go for a repeat or will another pin take it all?

    More info coming soon.

    #2 11 years ago

    I'm currently thinking that MM, AFM, TZ, and MB are going to be the number 1 seeds in the bracket.
    What's a good bracket tourney site that allows competitors to advance?

    #3 11 years ago

    I would work with the pinball podcast guys.. they had this locked in last year.

    Not a bad idea....

    i have so much fun with this pin march madness, but there is never a cinderella story like a DE star wars or something.

    #6 11 years ago

    Just contacted the Pinball Podcast guys about doing it for this year.

    Thought it would be more accurate.

    SW will do better this year imho due to the surprise code update that became available recently.

    #10 11 years ago

    Picking 64 out of the top 100 and then some that aren't, it's not going to be easy.

    I predict this year's Cinderella story will be MSF. At the very least it will find a way into the Sweet 16.

    i hope something fresh finds its way

    Like the Avengers or X-men?

    I'm a little biased as MSF is the game that got me hooked on pinball in the first place (for some reason I still don't own one...). That said, I think it is a pretty excellent game that is overlooked merely because it says Sega on it. If it had Williams stamped on it, it would be a Top 25 pin for sure.

    sure, I think though..acdc is a top seed, when talking about new sterns

    #16 11 years ago

    I am so in this year. I think it will be different what with all the new people in the hobby over the last year.

    #17 11 years ago

    The way people circle jerk to acdc I can't imagine it not winning.

    #18 11 years ago

    While looking at some pins to put into the tourney, I can think of some pretty good sleeper pins:

    DE SW
    MSF
    Goldeneye
    TFTC
    FT
    JM

    I don't know if any of the above mentioned will all get in, but who knows.

    #19 11 years ago

    Pinball Podcast might be DOA. Nothing out of those guys since December.

    Gameroom Junikies have gone dark, too.

    #20 11 years ago

    JM def got some love in the last year. FT I feel was always well liked.

    #21 11 years ago

    I'm starting a "vote for the worst" campaign. Heads will explode when GI knocks off TZ!

    #22 11 years ago

    I know Gladiators is an underdog longshot, but I smell sweet 16!

    Pinball podcast just posted on facebook yesterday that they were recording the new episode last night. Don't know about GRJ, but they have skipped months before.

    #26 11 years ago

    Pinball Podcast is alive and well.. And I think this is a cool idea. Definitely should get it set up

    Don and I will be getting it going for the Pinball Podcast. kiwi, if you want to participate in some way, hit me up and we'll figure it out.

    This year should be way more interesting, because I can see X-Men, Avengers, AC/DC, and Tron have a much bigger impact than we might think they will. I'm about to post a poll about seeding, actually. I'm glad I caught this thread.

    #33 11 years ago

    You always could put the Pinside Top 100 list to the ultimate test and use it for seeding... but that seems silly.

    #35 11 years ago

    Stern get update on xmen, should make top 16 then,,,,

    They'll get right on that.
