Get ready to roll, balls deep!
Part alleycat.
Part pinball tournament.
Part neither.

All benefit.

Starts at Ground Kontrol at 1pm
21 and over
My friend James (aka Magnum/COW) and I are throwing a fundraiser for his wife/my friend Chicken(aka...Chicken) who needs $$ for surgery to remove her triplets. When I talk about triplets, I am really talking about unwanted growths, or benign tumors. The health care system is broken and the procedure, although cheap as far as surgery goes, is still a lot to deal with. She didn't have insurance and now that she needs it, well, you know. This will be a alleycat/pinball tournament.
Scoring. If you suck balls at one, lean more on the other.
A good part of the pinball portion will be just randomly beating a mystery score. James and I are going to play a game, one game per each available machine. I'll play half. He'll play half. We'll record each score and if you beat it, you'll get more boints than the consolation boints you'll get if you don't. Like us, you only get one play per game, and then you have to either choose to leave to the next destination, or play more games where you are at. There are going to be a few more available stops to play in addition to the required checkpoints if you're not concerned about racing. You could kill it on a game or barely beat our score. boints will be the same. Also, we could just as easily have a good game or suck it, and I don't know how to even play half of them. So that part will be a crap shoot.
The bike riding part will be simple. Everyone leaves at the same time. There will be a deadline to get to the finish. A baby could crawl there in that amount of time. This is all about time management. There will some boints for placement, a decent amount as you obviously won't be playing as much pinball to score in that department. There will be some required checkpoints, which will have pinball games to play. You must play one game at least before you can leave. There is going to be a mini manifest which, like playing extra games of pinball, is entirely optional, but will have boints forqun as well.
Go with the flow and you'll do well.
More importantly this will be a lot of fun.
Suggested entry is $10. With a $20 plus entry you'll get a badass shirt(see below). The shirts will be available separately as well if any are left over at the finishing point C-Bar roughly 5-6pm.
This is a sliding scale. Whatever anyone can do will help, and it's all greatly appreciated.
These are the good folks who have helped out on this. Love them back. Some are our friends, some are people who we barely know, all of them are our neighbors.
