Thank you to all the players who participated in our recent pinball tournament! With 15 enthusiastic competitors, the event was filled with exciting matchups and great sportsmanship.
We kicked off the night with a 3-Strike Knockout format, where each player had to avoid accumulating three strikes to stay in the game. The top 6 players advanced to the A-Division, while 5 players entered the B-Division. The final rounds followed an Amazing Race format, with players facing off across multiple machines in a high-stakes race to the top.
Congratulations to the top players from both divisions!
Prizes for the first-place winners in both divisions included an AMD Schooner Glass, AMD Beer Cozy, Pinball Medallion, and a custom etched TAPP coaster, handcrafted by Lee Davey (thank you Lee!). Second-place winners received a BPAC T-Shirt and Pinball Pin courtesy of AMD.
Congratulations to Simon who also won the door prize: an AMD T-Shirt and a West-Coast Pinball Festival Lanyard!
A huge shoutout to AMD for their fantastic continued support and for providing the awesome prizes. Your continued partnership brings a lot of excitement to our events, and we're thrilled to have you on board. Thanks for helping us keep the pinball community buzzing!
Thanks again to everyone who came out, and see you next time!
We're gearing up for another fun and laid-back pinball night with some friendly competition, and we'd love to see you there! New to pinball? No worries -- it's a perfect chance to give it a go, and we're offering free entry for newcomers. Already a fan? Bring a friend along, and they get in free -- plus, if they come back next time, you get in free too!
This time, we're running a strikes qualifying format -- stay alive as long as you can by avoiding too many strikes. Then, in the Amazing Race finals, all finalists will face off on a single machine, one at a time. The lowest score is knocked out, and the rest move on to the next machine until only one player is left standing!
