Many thanks and congrats to all who participated in the tourney. Great time as always!

waiting on the new code from shuman for LAH, but i got it all setup to play today.

hey guys, i just launched an app called pinscores that im hoping will put an emphasis on location pinball. its a score tracking app that lets you use foursquare data to log the locations you're playing at along with the game and score you put up. a proof picture is optional theres also a social element so you can see where your friends have been playing and the scores they're putting up as well. its all pretty early in development, but its out now for android and ios and the basics are in place.

im thinking it could eventually help run some tournaments and be a self curating map of where pins are around town along with current lineups. feedback/suggestions are always welcome. my name is sethington on it if you want to add me as a friend and see the miserable scores im putting up around town

thanks!

Very cool - I'll try to make use of it this weekend. I like the proof picture function, maybe that will keep Jason from taking off the glass when setting those high scores!

Finally updated the league web site with results/news/etc. Check it out if you're inclined. www.midtnpinball.com.

Next tournaments are September 5th and October 3rd.

It's a good thing I have many many many witnesses when I set these scores usually.

I don't have the high score on Kiss at Flashback anymore. And I doubt any of us will be able to get it, sheesh.

Hey guys

Next Tournament will be September the 5th at 2:00 pm at Game Galaxy Antioch. We will be going old school with this one so we will have a few more alternates with this one. Pick 4 from the following titles. All games are 3 ball unless noted.

Haunted House
Sea Witch(5 balls)
Black Knight 2000
Lights Camera Action
Defender
Firepower(5 balls)
Elecktra
Rocky
Banzai Run
Amazing Spiderman(5 balls)
Class of 1812(5 balls)
Cyclone

Voting ends a week before tournament so August 29th. Good luck and Happy voting.

I hope to be there, but even so.

Banzai Run
Lights Camera Action
Black Knight 2000
Amazing Spiderman (the strategy on this is to Shatz all day, good luck!)

I'd leave out Sea Witch seeing as how it still has flipper issues. You may want to reconsider Cyclone too. The Ferris Wheel is hit or miss.

Sometimes it works fine, then there are times when the ball gets stuck.

I know you picked up the new code this past weekend. How is it playing so far? The original code seemed kinda boring.

That 800 Million was me. Unfortunately, I forgot to turn off the high score reset after X-amount of games. So, unfortunately, until I get my laptop fixed (which has the pic of my score), it's a thing of the past.

But I've said it before, and I'll say it again; Getaway hands out extra balls like candy. I think I had 4 or 5 extra balls in reserve when I got that score.

Mike, your score is still there. I changed the high score off thing. That only erases 1-4, not Grand Champion. Your Grand Champion score just dropped to #1 and I am current Grand Champion at 900 million.

Will, sorry I had to rush out of Flashback so quick. On my day off I have an employee that just messed up a lot of stuff for us. Enjoying pinball on my day off and concentrating? Never in the cards.

Seawitch plays fine to me.

I should be at the Sept. tournament.

My vote:
Amazing Spider-Man
Class of 1812
Cyclone
Haunted House

Austin Powers is now on the floor in Antioch.

Just a reminder voting ends Saturday for the Game Lineup for the tournament on September 5th.

Also from a competition side if you have no idea about a game at all and need a quick reference guide on what to do for points there is a site now pintips.net that has a ton of games that link to strategies to get a high score.

Gentlemen your lineup for the tournament

Amazing Spiderman(5 ball)
Banzai Run
Class of 1812(5 ball)
Black Knight 2000

Alternates
Cyclone
Lights Camera Action
Haunted House

Yes, the mall said I can use the space as long as possible.

I had another Alien Syndrome, williams did not purchase the previous one I sold, however.

It is kind of rare with the topper. Rarity is all relative with arcade. I would say it's a solid 6 out of 10 on the rarity scale.

Gentlemen

Next tourny is October 3rd 2PM at Antioch. The following are the list of games to vote on. Cast your votes. Top 4 get in with 1 alternate. Voting stops September 26th.

Twilight Zone (no powerball)
Austin Powers(no laser gun firing)
Red and Teds Road Show
Taxi
Mousin Around
Johnny Mnemonic
Indy 500
Firepower (5 ball game)
Elektra
Rocky

I won't be able to make this one, so can I vote for Austin Powers four times?

How did the last one turn out?

I need to vote Austin Powers to the needs to be sold pile.

Eight Ball Deluxe Limited Edition is now on the floor in Antioch.

The callouts alone give this one a bonus I think. I liked these movies. If you do want to sell it though Curtis is looking for one.

Last tournament results

I came in first
Cher Farnsworth took second
Joe Farnsworth took third
Curtis Baker took fourth

Anyone can vote even if they can't make it but you can't vote for the same game 4 times.

Also I'm adding Eight Ball Deluxe Limited Edition to the list to vote on because Eight Ball Deluxe Limited Edition is an amazing game.

Twilight Zone (no powerball)
Austin Powers(no laser gun firing)
Red and Teds Road Show
Taxi
Mousin Around
Johnny Mnemonic
Indy 500
Firepower (5 ball game)
Elektra
Rocky
Eight Ball Deluxe Limited Edition

I don't think he has room. It's here but he hasn't shown interest in it otherwise.

I LOVE the movies. I think they are great. I think the game is just as bad if not worse than Simpsons Pinball Party.

Some minor updates:

Batman Dark Knight (moved from Antioch Game Galaxy) and a really nice Congo are now in Rivergate Mall Game Galaxy.

Tommy has been pulled temporarily (down again)

I saw via Facebook that Transformers has been moved to Rivergate.

I'd like to think I'm somewhat responsible for this!

I love Transformers. The only reason it was moved is because we are running out of room for other pins coming in. We have a Batman Data East coming in, and nowhere to put it, and that was the reason Dark Knight was moved. Rivergate actually has a pretty good lineup now...

Caveman and Teed Off both replaced....

Highlighted by:
Congo
No Good Gofers
Guns N Roses
24
Pirates of the Caribbean
Batman Dark Knight
Transformers
Whodunit?

next on the chopping block is Austin Powers but I am sure we will put one of the older games in storage for a bit before we do that.

Man's gotta make room for the new WWE Wrestlemania pin right?

I could live the rest of my life without hearing that Transformers music, on an endless loop, ever again.

Just a reminder

Next tournament is October 3rd 2:00. Voting on the games ends on September 26th. Hope to see everyone there!

Count me out on Austin Powers I just picked one up in NC that looks brand new!

Austin Powers price drop to $1200.

I knock the game but that is an amazing price.

GLWS! I just wanted a game in great shape and we can both agree the game you own is average at best. No hard feelings hey pal.

I am not really selling it for $1200 lol. I would have had 50 PMs this morning if that was the case.

Of course I knew this but wanted to play along anyway.

Is Game Galaxy holding a Game of Thrones launch party? Let me know if so and there's anything I can do to help.
