Pinball night! Our volunteer repair crew was in recently cleaning/fixing/moving. Thank you so much! There are 2 new games on the floor tonight for you to enjoy.
We're going to make a few changes for the tournament:
1. Flip Frenzy will be 90 minutes
2. The queue size will be increased to 5 players, giving you a little more time to breathe in between.
3. There will be a top-4 group match play final.

We had 35 players! Sterling was in town and played, too. So happy to see him. Full results: https://app.matchplay.events/tournaments/255314/standings (note that the submission to IFPA will be slightly delayed because Dwayne has to submit and he is at NWPAS)

Thank you to all the tournament helpers, and thank you for supporting nonprofit pinball.
