Gonna bring the camera to this one should we make it a PAPA style or keep it head to head? gonna try to rig it so we can easily move the camera from machine to machine!

Changed to PAPA Style! With the new rules. Finals will be 4,4 - 2 - 2. You will also be able to buy a 4th ticket for an extra $5. So you can just buy 4 at the beginning for $10 if you would like. But it has to be played on a game as a retry kind of thing. The highest score will still be kept.

Due to tech issues we will be unable to film this event sorry suckas!

High Speed 2 is turned off. It may be broken. It may just be turned to the off setting.

1 Aaron Nelson
2 Kevin Kerr
3 Chris Coyle
4 Bob Rosingana

I will get the rest of the results up in in a day or so

Dang - dropshot on a tear.

Wish I had video footage of the near fight we had at this one. Good times

I liked how they were both bitchin about etiquette while screaming in my ear mid game. Also loved Rev's response to the whole thing, that was some funny shit.

Just a heads up and this goes for everyone. I have always reserved the right to ban players for a given amount of time, including major events. No one has quite crossed a line yet but last night was getting kinda close to a small weekly ban for a week or two for a number of players. From here on out I will be giving warnings (3 within a time period will be a ban) and tossing people if need be.

We all know the rules and how to behave, I've been doing this for too long to deal with this shit anymore.

On a note about getting banned from a major, as of right now the only way I can see that happen is for there to be a physical altercation. However, mule kicking a machine and you may find yourself at home the next week. Verbally abusing players could do the same.

Non-negotiable, if you want to appeal a banning talk to Dennis. So good luck with that.

I wasn't there, but I'm gonna chime in anyway. I think 3 warnings is generous. If you're doing anything at a casual weekly (or major) that actually merits a talking to, I don't think a 3rd or even 2nd chance is needed. One warning and the next time you're gone for 6 weeks. The people running these every week put in too much effort and don't deserve to deal with this crap.

While it did sound pretty funny, it did NOT sound very *fun*.

"hey . . . it's only pinball".

Players can incorporate this into their tournament strategy - you have two free chances to tilt an opponent's ball at an opportune moment. Choose wisely.

Maybe 3 warnings is too much, but in my mind the way it has been even the last two weeks a number of warnings would have been given out. They aren't big things but if you keep abusing machines or being a dick you'll be forced out a week or two.

Have any warnings been given out and do you think they will let us have tournaments at Over and Out again?

Just start kicking the techs. Deathsave Rhodes.

I wonder if the number of attendees will drop, now that Voldy's rampaging.

My wife loved it. I guess it makes it better for spectators.

I was three feet away from the whole thing and I found it entertaining as well... though it did reflect poorly on us as Gentleman and Ladies playing pinball.
