I'm I wasn't impressed enough by the location or the $5 beers to want to play there. That's my 2 cents. =^.^=

I would do it again, and not just because it was my best weekly tournament showing thus far. I had a great time and was impressed by how smoothly this went, despite the presence of scores of happy hour goers.

I had fun playing outside. I like the idea of limiting it to 10 entries if we're playing for beer dollars or whatever. Otherwise, I think it'd be fun to do that format for $1 an entry, winner take all or something like that.

I like the idea of no limit entries. To attract the common man. Let them know the games are available for play. Perhaps something to attract some happy hour people too. Less experienced players can show up early and get a better chance to qualify. Outdoor was sweet. People smoked. I'd pay five dollars for a delicious beer and Ill play 2.50 for a delicious Root Beer. The best looking and strongest players will still prevail. I played everything once except spidey.

This ended up being really fun after the sun went down. I would totally do it again. with or without limited entries. I played about 10 entries anyway I think.

I enjoyed it too. Had I known it was unlimited entries I would have come earlier. And yeah, the beers are pricey but they're really only a $1 extra than anywhere else.

I loved the format and had a blast. Is there any rule that says we have to do something like this at a bar? Set up the machines on a BBall court in a park, get a cheap drinking permit, bring quality root beer, pick a rain free day and have a back up plan, and commence the BBQ pinball tourney.

Or just do a tournament at the goddamn Apex already.

I appreciate the feedback. I enjoyed it, thought most people did. Apex will be in next year, summer only tourneys, great patio to hang out on.

I like Nate's idea or if someone throws a tourney at their house and everyone chips in for a keg and food.
