Slabtown Showdown III Feb 18-20th

[PatC]

I remember your score in 9ball during the playoffs -- you've still got a lot to learn Noah.

See, page #17 of my textbook says "pick a game that you know you can score at least 900k on and only score 230k."

[jclone]

I can't wait to play in the next one, thanks to everyone for making it memorable.

P.s.

Fuck Skyrocket...

[Dropshot]

If chapter 17 isn't exactly what you were looking to brush up on, in chapter 18 I cover how to hit 3 posts on 3 flips and finish with 14 mil on CFTBL. I call it "Utilizing Pop Bumpers To Score Your Only boints- For Modern Machine Strategies".

[Opto]

After that you can go onto to my contribution written a year or so ago -

CHAPTER 20 "How to finish a finals game of Medieval Madness with under a million boints"

[Dropshot]

Was that in collaboration with Jake?

[Opto]

No - he failed to achieve the <1,000,000 score by hitting the hurry up.

[PatC]

This book is gonna be epic.

[revtest]

ahh the $100 hurry up....good times...

[Dropshot]

We should have Fred contact KME, together they could write chapter 23 "The ways and whys of how to slam tilt your way out of contention".

[Isaac]

Did you guys read my forward about getting so distracted with how many boints you're not making that you forget to keep the ball in play? I think it was added to the second printing.

Robert, myself and Kathy had a lot of fun. You guys run excellent tournaments. Here is a video that I took.

Thanks for an awesome weekend! I loved it and will try to get back to Portland as soon as I can. Slabtown was a fun place to play a tournament.

Great job by the volunteers, especially those organizing the computers, the score entry, and the machine preparation. The games played well, and were certainly fair to everyone.

Hope to see you all again soon and I appreciate the hospitality.

- Bowen

The slide show might have some ads on it since I used a song from my CD collection that i thought was appropriate for the Slabtown bar. just close the ad, turn up the music and enjoy.

[revtest]
