Seaside, CA
Monterey Flipper Pinball brought 8 games last year. We should easily best that this year. So far the wife and I have signed up a couple. We should see 10+ coming from our crew.
Hey @practicalsteve, Tron is coming back!

Monterey Flipper Pinball had the Best time. Though it comes at the small cost of ghostriding our lives for a short period thereafter.
We brought in 12 of our games, and took 16 home. I had some fun with Brad on Sunday, trying to work him into a deal for his Lost in Space. In #362 days we may have a shot at it!
Fully maxed out the trailer, well, in that it should only have 2960 lbs of load, then do the math on 16 games. We made it, so I guess we need to try fitting 18 in there next time.
Monday we trailered down to MFP League Headquarters in Salinas, set the games back up, leveled and wiped them down ... then had League that night! Super tiring, but I don't think we would have it any other way. This is how we celebrate the Golden State PAGG weekend.
A few stats to leave you with:
Dirty Harry
Average Ball Time: 44 Seconds
Total Plays: 531 Games

Big Buck Hunter

Average Ball Time: 37 Seconds
Total Plays: 711 Games
Extra Balls: 14
Tron

Quoted from QuietEarp:You guys in Monterey Flipper Pinball set your games up to be hard as hell. My first game on GOT was over in like 10 seconds. Probably makes you extra good at playing them though.
Yes we do. We take rings off of posts, move posts, remove posts, use a mix of different rings (rubber, poly, silicone), get the slings slinging, set flips to low (except Godizlla, those flips are like buckets when trapping, it's on the list for fixing), set games to hard(er) rules, no ball save, usually no extra ball (but we put those in for the show). It makes for quicker rounds during league, and it sets a high bar for everyone. It also makes it Super satisfying when you pull off a good game.
There are moments when I wonder if the games are set Too hard, those are fleeting.
Quoted from PaulCoff:It's always a pleasure to play this Tron. Thank you for keeping it fast and sexy.
So who wants to take credit for that 94 mil game on Tron? You know, the one that every league member is gunning to take down 
Quoted from Flipper_Fiend:next year
