Best Group Elimination!

Firstly, sorry for the delayed post in getting this update out!

This past Saturday we gathered again at Replay Bar for a night of competitive pinball. We had a smaller turnout than usual, but it was still a fantastic night with plenty of games played and some great competition.

Before getting to the results, a massive thank you to Replay Bar and Andy for looking after us. Andy went above and beyond to make sure the machines were ready to go — even express shipping replacement parts and coming in on extra days to repair a machine so we could have a full bank available. We really appreciate the effort that goes into keeping the games in top shape.

Thanks also to AMD Pinball for sponsoring some of the prizes on the night.

We also want to give a shout-out to ACT Pinball for the Jersey Jack Pinball merch which we gave away as our door prize. Congrats to Ben, who took home a pack of Jersey Jack Pinball flyers, key rings, and a signed apron card from Jersey Jack himself.

Special shoutout to Kaleb, one of our newer recruits, for making their first A-Div Top 4 finish!

After qualifying, players were split into two divisions for finals. For this event we also tried Group Elimination finals for the first time. Players were seeded into groups of four and played two games scoring 4 / 2 / 1 / 0 (or 4 / 2 / 1 for 3-player groups). The top two players advanced while the bottom two were eliminated, continuing until the final four players played their last two games to determine the finishing order.

Thanks again to everyone who came along and made it a great night.

And if you missed this one, we'll be back next week at The Winston in North Hobart — come along, grab a beer, enjoy some great food, and flip some games with us.
