Is there a good way to contact the operator so that they can make these machines play better? No whirlpool. No left flipper on WCS. If we get on the operator early, they won't have any excuse to not have these machines playing well.

I let Anna know. I also told her that starting next year ALL tournaments may be at QE, Ricochet and QW locations only. She got pissed, I don't think she believed me though either. Anyway, those machines have been shit for a while with the same problems too. Hopefully they will be solved by then, if not we can head to C-bar and have another marathon tourney. Maybe make it a one-handed tourney to keep things going!

If TZ in the mix, I think a blindfold would be appropriate.

Was at the Ship two days ago and both AFM and WCS were playing fine. Didn't play the other two.

Whitewater seemed to have a lot of GI out. And the waterfall or whatever the fuck wasn't always registering, from what I could tell.

Dr Who played fine, I think. Maybe GI was out on that, too. Or maybe it's just a really dark back area, and could use some sort of soft back lighting.

The whirlpool shot registered every time but once when I played. And a lot of the times it would give you the reward but there would be no animation/audio cues to accompany it.

[Dropshot]

The whirlpool works every time except during the 2-ball multiball where the only boints you get is from hitting the whirlpool.

In honor of the World Cup World Cup Casual Flow tourney as well as this being two straight tourney's with WCS'94 you have to watch this. Probably the funniest thing I have ever seen. What he says to the Dutch fans made me cry.

Oh, yeah don't watch this around kids...

[Dropshot]

Was down there last night for a little bit. WCS'94 is playing great! Didn't play W2HO, so not sure if the whirlpool was fixed or not.

I gotta say! I like Thursdays for tournaments more than Tuesdays. It feels like it gives me more days to mentally prep or whatever. No offense, Dannyb.

[Dropshot]

I don't know, I still kinda like Tuesdays

[videomode]

Tuesdays are better
