Min Strikes!

25 September 2025 Past

The Winston

We had a fantastic night of pinball at The Winston, getting plenty of games in on their brand-new machines. Huge thanks to The Winston and Tye for hosting us!

We had a great turnout of 21 players, trialling a new “Min Strikes” format. Instead of standard strike groups, we split players into as many groups as possible across the lineup, letting everyone play more games in less time. Players were eliminated after 6 strikes, with strikes handed out relative to finish position:

  • 4-player: 0 / 1 / 1 / 2

  • 3-player: 0 / 1 / 2

  • 2-player: 0 / 2

After a fun night of competition, here's how the top four finished:

Big thanks to everyone who came along – and a shout-out to Frank for repping the northern crew. We'd love to see even more players from across the state at future events!

Sorry we didn't grab many photos this time – we were too busy having fun. If you snapped any pictures on the night, please send them through so we can share them!

Hope to see you at the next TAPP event!

We’re excited to return to The Winston for our next TAPP event! 🍻 This time we’ll be running a Strikes tournament — every loss adds a strike, and once you’ve taken too many, you’re out. The last player standing takes the win.
