9/6 Buckman Brewery Pinball on the Patio (FREE)

Pinball on the Patio! It is supposed to be in the mid-80's so let's play in the sun.

The format will be open qualifying Herb style* on 5 machines from 5:00pm-9:00pm. All entries are free, coin drop is the players responsibility.

At the end of qualifying the top player from each machine, along with the next 8 overall players, will advance to a 13 person single game/single elimination finals.

Machines being used are:

Ripley's Believe It or Not
Spiderman
World Cup Soccer
Soprano's
Big Deal

The prizes will be paid in Hopoes (Rogue Nation legal tender redeemable for beer, food, merch...)

1st Place 70 Hopoes
2nd Place 20 Hopoes
3rd Place 10 Hopoes

There will also be random giveaways throughout the event!

So come down for Tiki Tuesday and play some Pinball on the Patio at Buckman Brewery.

*Herb Style is a format with software that we built which records all players scores taking their best score for each game and comparing it to other players scores, then gives out boints based on how well they did. Top score on a machine awards 50pts, (2nd) 45, (3rd) 42, (4th) 40, (5th) 39 and so on. The software then adds up players boints over all the machines for a total score to determine qualifying rank.

This event is worth boints. It will count along with Slabtown from earlier this year, and then will have 2 more TBD locations to finish it off.

Is there a trophy for this? I am bored at work and have a small box of trophies I found on the side of the road. I have the technology to transform one of them into a pinball trophy.?.

How long will the qualifying last. I.e., do we want to be there right at 5 p.m. or can we arrive later, and if so, how late? I might want to make sure I've fortified my stomach enough/blinded myself in preparation for the sight of PatC wearing nothing but a Hawaiian shirt.

Dipshit Paul here. I am truly sorry to all for my Bush League/Dick move racking of FH last night. My sincere apologies to the venue and all of the witnesses and mostly to Rhodes.

I slid a machine over in abject disgust. No confrontation with anyone, just an emotive outburst of total stupidity.

I also had a brief outburst, and I apologize for whining so fucking much.

Apology accepted Sauce. To be honest it was so out of character for you, I didn't really pay any attention to it. It was like you were possessed or something . . .

It was especially poignant for me, because earlier in the day I had a class all about stress management, and how not to let things that you cant control get to you.

I only lost in the final because I was distracted by you guys freaking out and Danny is a better pinball player.

Remember when I was like, "Oh fuck now I have to play Jake?" That was awesome. 65 hobucks for a brew. Well worth the relapse.

they are equal to cash. Would you guys want to do this again out there on the patio if we have nice weather sometime in Oct? I think I would limit entries to 10 though.
