A bit of important trivia here. I've done as much research as I can on the subject and it appears the 1st 420 Tournament back in 2011 (The Greenwood Pinball Open) was in fact the very first IFPA-recognized 420-based tournament. Organized by Cathy Cartoon and Andrew Nunes. Three different locations (Add-A-Ball, Andrew's place and Liberty House), you got shuttled in between locations (The Beast (our very big Ford van) was one of your shuttles), and we all met up at Add-A-Ball for the final. I remember getting the best score on Target Alpha that night with a 99K.
A Future Spa pinball machine was the grand prize.
