Today, Delaware announced that Phase 2 would go into effect on 6/15. If you recall from my previous announcement, Phase 2 was one of the key factors in allowing First State Flippers to hold "events" in some type of capacity because Phase 2 gives the green light for gatherings up to 50 people. Everyone involved at First State Flippers feels confident that we can provide a safe environment that allows us to play competitive pinball once again. We understand that the measures that we will be putting into place are good enough for some people but not good enough for other people. We hope that everyone who decides to attend this event is fully prepared to play competitive pinball under specific CDC guidelines and recommendations. At the end of the day we are not doing this to try and make a statement, instead we are doing this in a manner that will give people an opportunity to try and bring some type of "normalcy" back into their lives and we know pinball is at the top of the list for a lot of people! See below for the initial details with the FULL DETAILS being released on Thursday.
