Changed to PAPA Style! With the new rules. Finals will be 4,4 - 2 - 2. You will also be able to buy a 4th ticket for an extra $5. So you can just buy 4 at the beginning for $10 if you would like. But it has to be played on a game as a retry kind of thing. The highest score will still be kept.

High Speed 2 is turned off. It may be broken. It may just be turned to the off setting.

I liked how they were both bitchin about etiquette while screaming in my ear mid game. Also loved Rev's response to the whole thing, that was some funny shit.

Just a heads up and this goes for everyone. I have always reserved the right to ban players for a given amount of time, including major events. No one has quite crossed a line yet but last night was getting kinda close to a small weekly ban for a week or two for a number of players. From here on out I will be giving warnings (3 within a time period will be a ban) and tossing people if need be.

We all know the rules and how to behave, I've been doing this for too long to deal with this shit anymore.

On a note about getting banned from a major, as of right now the only way I can see that happen is for there to be a physical altercation. However, mule kicking a machine and you may find yourself at home the next week. Verbally abusing players could do the same.

Non-negotiable, if you want to appeal a banning talk to Dennis. So good luck with that.

I wasn't there, but I'm gonna chime in anyway. I think 3 warnings is generous. If you're doing anything at a casual weekly (or major) that actually merits a talking to, I don't think a 3rd or even 2nd chance is needed. One warning and the next time you're gone for 6 weeks. The people running these every week put in too much effort and don't deserve to deal with this crap.

While it did sound pretty funny, it did NOT sound very *fun*.

Players can incorporate this into their tournament strategy - you have two free chances to tilt an opponent's ball at an opportune moment. Choose wisely. ;)

Maybe 3 warnings is too much, but in my mind the way it has been even the last two weeks a number of warnings would have been given out. They aren't big things but if you keep abusing machines or being a dick you'll be forced out a week or two.

Have any warnings been given out and do you think they will let us have tournaments at Over and Out again?

I was three feet away from the whole thing and I found it entertaining as well... though it did reflect poorly on us as Gentleman and Ladies playing pinball.
