HEY, i heard there's a tourney here tomorrow.

I'm looking at you ROM! JD round 1?

by **ROM** on Wed Aug 11, 2010 1:30 pm

I HOPE SO!

But I mainly hope that I don't have to play Pinball Magic five times, like last time.

Pinball Magic it is!

Are we in the glory days right now? Like, I'm looking at this section and seeing 8 fresh weeklies coming up, each at a different location and each with pretty dang sweet line-ups. And those aren't even all our options. Let's do this forever!!

You dream about pinball? What a nerd! Besides, Steve won't be in the finals. Tonight will most likely be a limited turnout.

As long as people keep showing up, I'll keep throwing them. I don't think I could go back to 6 people there and calling everyone until 8 to convince two more to show up though.

Maybe more people would have shown up if there wasn't a 16-way tie for fourth!

Was my advice that you try your hardest and stay focused?

Turnout - I still think there'll be a decent turnout. PAPA and all... but only a few are there. Like 5?

16-way tie... that's amazing! Oh, the ol' days.

How the hell did that happen?

Dropshot had such a strong ball three on Monster Bash that it immediately knocked 16 people out of the tournament. It was pretty intense. Once in a lifetime!

Or else maybe it was that our bracket software wasn't that awesome back then...

You mean: How did Fred NOT come in 4th? :twisted:

That was the 'one-ball' tourney up at Alleyway. That might have been one of the first night I met all the CFF guys. Bounceback was running it and the 3 of us had a playoff to determine the winner. It was a fucked up scoring system. Play all 5 games, 1 ball, and add your points together to determine the winner. I think I put up a 40+ ball on MM to clinch it.

by **FHF** on Thu Aug 12, 2010 4:30 pm

Haha yeah, you're right! Funniest part is, I'm pretty sure the scoring got messed up at the end and I actually DID come in 4th!!! :lol:

I think this is the first weekly, at least that I can find.....

Here's bounceback's blog post about this event.
