Quoted from DarkWizard:So this is a totally free event?
Its totally free. food/drinks/29 pinballs and a bowler to play. Michael always has games in great condition and is quite the host.
Now if they have an IFPA tournament and you want to play in it, you will pay the $5 or whatever to play in the tournament. This is optional. I didn't see any mention about a tournament this time in his listing so maybe he will chime in (although the launch party is on the stern flyer and the other stern launch parties have a tournament). Last time they also gave out stern promotional items.
