Is there advanced signups and/or caps for any events?

I’m excited that, for my 40th birthday, I’m going to make it out to California and play pinball at INDISC!

Everyone, feel free to completely ignore this thread. Nothing to see here until Sunday. Certainly no action you might want to take this Saturday at 9am PDT.

I never received an email letting me know I was on the waitlist- just making sure I made it and wondering how far down I am? I’m booking a pretty expensive trip depending on this so it’d be nice to know where the waitlist stands :grimacing:

11

There’s a post on our Facebook event page with the player list and wait list, for now. I’ll get it on the website in the near future.

12

Cool- thank you!

Hopefully you add about 60 more spots :grimacing:

Don’t blame me, but this challenge needed some clarification… the above list is inaccurate and I’ve updated the description to better reflect the intent of the challenge.

Awarded to the player with the best finish (but who doesn’t win) in The Open, who’s previously finished exactly 2nd, and never won, in an IFPA endorsed major championship.
