We had an awesome night at Replay Bar for our Max Matchplay event, with a great turnout of 24 players, including a couple of interstate visitors! Huge thanks to everyone who joined us, and to Replay Bar for hosting as always.
The comp came down to the wire, with both the top 3 and 4th/5th/6th positions finishing in ties. The tiebreakers delivered some impressive play — especially Tom Fonda, who obliterated Black Knight with 500M+ on ball one, and was on fire all night: securing Black Knight multiball and cracking over a billion on Star Wars as well!
This round’s 🪵 Wooden Spoon went to Patrick, who finished in last place — hopefully still had a great night and enjoyed the games!
Special thanks to Simon, who stepped in as guest TD and kept the night running smoothly; Thanks Simon! And an extra shout-out to Andy from Replay Bar for his support, plus thanks to Josh for the remote support throughout the evening.
And of course, big thanks to the Stern Army for their ongoing sponsorship ❤️.
