Keep Pace!

10 April 2025 Past

Replay Bar, Hobart

We’re a little late on the recap — but that’s only because we had such an awesome time at last Thursday’s Keep Pace! tournament! 💥

A huge thank you to Replay Bar for generously hosting us. The new elimination format was a hit (even if it ran a bit long — we’ll keep tweaking!), and the vibe all night was electric.

Special mention to Damian, who was first out but took it like a champ — scoring the wooden spoon prize: a $50 Replay Bar voucher and a hand-crafted TAPP coaster, made by our very own Lee. 🙌

We only ran a single division due to the format, with the following taking out our top 4 spots:

Josh took home a Stern translite — thanks so much to Stern Pinball for the support! Solomon scored a Lord of the Rings trivia card game, and Patrick & Tom each grabbed free re-entry and a T-shirt, thanks to the legends at AMD. We appreciate our sponsors making these nights even better.

And of course, thank you to everyone who came out — another brilliant crowd, great energy, and a whole lot of pinball love.

🎉 Next week, we’re back at The Winston for the first time in 2025! Come hang out, bring a mate, and jump into the action — whether you’re competing or just soaking it in, we’d love to see you there.

Join us at Replay Bar for the debut of “Keep Pace,” a new pinball format making its first appearance at TAPP! Players will need consistent play to stay clear of elimination—making for a fun, strategic challenge that’s perfect for seasoned competitors and newcomers alike.

As always, we’ll have great prizes and a welcoming atmosphere. Come along and see how long you can Keep Pace!

Keep Pace!

Race-style match play where players must keep up with a rising point target or be eliminated. Meaningful games are calculated from rounds and group-size multipliers.
