North Salt Lake, UT
Hey everybody, it looks like November 9th is the target date for a meet up and tournament. You don't have to participate in the tournament if you don't want to, but for all who want to compete, the info is at the end of the post. We'll plan on an official start time for 7:00pm, but feel free to roll in early if you want some extra time on the machines. I'll buy up some snacks and drinks (soda), but feel free to bring your own beer if that's more your thing. Here's the list of games that are most likely going to be available the night of the event.
Pins
Spider-Man
Attack From Mars
Bride of Pinbot
Creature From the Black Lagoon
Tron Pro

Twilight Zone
The Addams Family
The Simpsons Pinball Party (maybe)
OXO (maybe)
Vids

Spouses and kids are welcome. I just need an approximate head count for 1) attendance, and 2) tournament player numbers. Let me know if you'll be able to make it!
Tournament Details
We'll start the tournament at 8:00pm. Entry fee will be collected at that time. The tournament will be a $20 entry to play each tournament game twice (take your best score). $5 lets you buy in for one more play on a specific machine, maximum 3 total buy ins. Best scores between entry and buy ins will be kept. Points will be awarded for top 8 finishers on each game (8 points for first down to 1 point for 8th). After all games have been played, we'll take the top four finishers and put them in a finals game, 1 game with 4 players.
The tournament games will be chosen by random draw, with Bride of Pinbot being excluded from the draw. Top finisher in points from the main round gets to choose the game for the finals.
All money collected will be paid out to the winners. 50% take for 1st place, 25% for 2nd, 15% for 3rd, and 10% for 4th.
Once the tournament wraps up, you're free to stay and play as long as you like.
Location: I'm in Kaysville, just south of Layton. If you are planning on coming, send me a PM and I'll send you my full address and cell phone number.
I will let you know.
