Not sure about bringing a game yet though.

Quoted from Fytr:I get what you're trying to do, but these are all 1 full degree too high IMHO. There are a lot of ways to make a particular game harder to reduce ball times without distorting the entire essence of the game. In my opinion (and I've heard this echoed elsewhere), you should never user *every* means at your disposal to increase game difficulty, but rather a select one or two depending on the particular game.
For example, open the outlanes or remove a rubber on an outlane post for a long-playing game, but don't tighten the tilt to zero tolerance AND remove the post. Also, subtle nudging is a key skill in pinball, so having the tilts so tight that the simple act of starting Showtime multiball on TaF will sometimes tilt your game is not fun or fair.
In my opinion, over steeping the game and tightening the tilts to completely remove nudging is distorting the game to favour a few select skills over others (extreme ball control and shot making over predicting ball trajectories and subtle nudging). This reduces the overall depth of the competition and makes it more frustrating and less fun than it could be.
Anyway, it's your tournament and I'll come regardless because it's otherwise completely friggin' awesome, but since we're offering constructive feedback...
Um,didn't you win the classics division last year at Yegpin
Quoted from Fytr:That's a great idea. I'll setup some custom messages on our location games to promote YegPin.

Great show guys
My room at the Chateau was really nice.
Fully renovated,second floor.
Freezing cold when I got in lol.
Had to turn the heat on.
I guess it all depended on which room you got there.
Quoted from Fytr:pingod beat him in the classics.
#localheros
Thankfully his game was off for that round
Quoted from noahd42:Late to the party, but I was glad to get down for the Sunday this year. Great expo again. We are really lucky to have an event like this in Edmonton along with great location pinball these days.
I was happy to try a few machines I hadn't played yet such as Congo so props to whoever brought that!
Glad you enjoyed the Congo,I just got it that weekend and put it on the floor for free play
