2016 NW Pinball Championships

No, this is not Creature :slight_smile:

Then Iā€™ll go with Whitewater today.

Well it looks like yesterday ā€œhintā€ was obscure enough to survive a whole lot of guesses!!!
It worked better than the wheel of fortune clue apparentlyā€¦
Once again, one guess per clue (a new one every if not guessed correctly).

ā€œYou donā€™t see one of those flying very often!ā€

Good luck! :slight_smile:

Monster Bash [donā€™t swim in the Creatureā€™s lagoon, donā€™t see bats flying often?]

thatā€™s the spirit but itā€™s not this one :slight_smile:

WE HAVE A WINNER On FB, the correct answer was ā€œAFMā€ :slight_smile:

alright, here is out 3rd clue so far for this machine, this one is provided by our friend Raymond. Once again, only one guess per clue :slight_smile:

Here is the NWPC main tournament schedule (changes may occurs as needed)

Who won and how was the turn-out last night?

Posted a report on the FB event :slight_smile:

Ooh the crowd favorite won. Nice!

Looks like a typo there - - split closes at 8:30, finals at 7?

And I assume itā€™s only split that closes early?

good thing we have you for proofreading, you are right only split qualifier closes 30min before finals

Interesting to see that Classics ended up being worth more WPPR points than the Main Tournament. Iā€™m guessing the free entries in Classics had something to do with that.

Classics had a few more players who made the difference. If you compare lists and note the rankings and ratings of those just in Classics, you can piece it together.

case and points, free entries but also that several people showed up in Saturday afternoon and didnā€™t feel like they had a chance to put up 7 good scores on the Open bank.

It was too bad the Classics didnā€™t have a camera rig or two for over-the-playfield shots. Need more Classics competition streaming! (The ā€œlurker/loomerā€ camera angle just doesnā€™t cut it)

We would definitely like to in the future. Maybe if a generous benefactor shoots us $2000 for extra rigs and cameras. Actually we could probably do the rigs ourselves if someone let us borrow some more cameras.

easy to say but would need more than cameras, and rigs :slight_smile: HDMI, power cables, more HDMI selector, it all goes fast but yeah, $1.5-2k seems accurate for 5 more machines.

Maybe a moveable kind of rig, like @ZRW had for City champ, behind the machine with one C920 and a long USB extension cord could be an alternativeā€¦ Note to self for next year :slight_smile:

I need to figure out how @DEADFLIP pulled off moving the cams/stands between pins at TPF this year.

Jack, would you ever recommend people trying a similar set up again at tourneys where cameras and equipment are limited to far fewer than pins that are getting played?
