Any word on what the bounties will be?

Bounties will be finalized the day before the event after we tighten them up for tournament play. Bounties will also be broken into A and B division groups based on IFPA rank. For example, we may have a bounty for getting to Monsters of Rock for A division and Monster Bash for B division.

The shirts arrived yesterday and come out great! They were done on 100% cotton American Apparel Jersey shirts which are super soft and made in USA.

Awesome prize pool!

I live almost 2 hours from railroad st bar but visited a few weeks ago. Rode my bike there and had lunch the grilled cheese crab sandwich was awesome. The beer was great. but the best thing was the selection of quality pins. And unlike most places that have pins these actually worked. Wished i lived closer i would be there everyday.

Thanks for the feedback tjohns, that is great to hear!

So are you the Centaur fan I heard about?

Might try and make it out for this, even though I think I would get stomped in the tournament . I've heading to pincrossing a lot lately; maybe I'll develop a 6th sense for some of the machines and bring home the gold.

Do we need to pre-register or is a first come first serve? I thought I heard the field was filled but hoping not.

This is one of the advantages of Best Game Qualifying format, especially at a location that has food and beer to keep you entertained instead of just waiting for the next round to start. Everyone can participate and they can do so as much or as little as they like. You can play for an hour and then just hang out and have a few beers or you can play all day.

I have to admit, I wasn't a fan of the format myself until Doug Polka showed us how to do it right out at the Rowdy Buck bar in Pittsburgh earlier this year after the IFPA State Finals. We had a blast and have been using the format a lot more ever since.

no jay not me. But i can see why TOM is on everyones wish list. Really enjoyed playing that one.

Our ToM is the best one I've ever played yet... it isn't really all that complex of a game but I just love the shots and keep coming back for more.

I say "our" ToM, but the truth is my wife stole it from me shortly after we got it and currently claims full ownership... it is her favorite game by far (at least until MM shows up

Our Grand Champion trophy is ready... Who is going to take it home?

Dude that trophy is awesome.

For reference, that is a ~3 inch steel ball, not a standard size pinball. The whole trophy is about 2.5 feet tall.

Checking in!

See everyone on Saturday, can't wait!

Will this be like the Pincrossing Project Pinball tournament where 8 players qualified for the finals which were held on 1 game and seeds 3 & 4 got a bye, and seeds 1 and 2 got a double bye?

Looks like an awesome time! As usual, wish I could join

Less than a day away...

Yes.

And as a special bonus, I even managed to print the playoff seed order properly this time

Any pics from the event?

Yeah, how did it go? Unfortunately I could not attend, which was disappointing.

I couldn't get there either due to a cousin's car needing some work done. I'd never turn down helping family in need, but I admit it sucks when you have the tools to do so and have other things you'd rather do. But helping out people in need takes priority.

Hope everyone had a great time and can share some pictures.
