Vernal, UT
The Salt Lake Area pinballers are excited to announce that we are back and bigger than ever in this year's Salt Lake Gaming Con, starting today! The show will run today, tomorrow, and Saturday. The show has been growing so much that they had to move the Salt Lake Gaming Con to the Salt Palace! The biggest convention center in Utah! (100 South Wesr Temple, Salt Lake City,)
We are hosting a large exhibit featuring 100 pinball and arcade machines. We are running 5 different pinball tournaments during the convention. Each tournament will be free to enter, and each will feature cash prizes, trophies, and other goodies. All machines that are not being used in the tournaments will be set to free play.
Tickets for the Gaming Con can be bought through their website

Everlasting Ballstopper -- Stall Ball World Championship -- 5pm
Stall ball is a format where players stand in a line behind the machine. Each machine will have stated objectives where the ball gets stalled. When this happens the player quickly exits to the right and the next player in line takes over to try and accomplish the same objectives. If a player drains they are out of the line. The winner is the last remaining player.
~16 Player groups will play each stall ball match.
The first 8 winners will enter the play-offs.
The 8 finalists will play 4 stall ball matches.
The Winner of each match will qualify for the Final 4
The last 4 players will play in Stall Ball matches until a player gets 2 wins.
The remaining players will keep playing until 2nd and 3rd place are determined by 2 wins.
