I know it’s posted somewhere but i can’t locate it. When will the streams start and where are they being broadcasted?
Never mind - I found it. For those interested here is the link to the schedule.
Really hope we can get a bonus stream of Saturday night qualifying. The last couple of hours of qualifying on Saturday is my favorite part of tournament streaming!

Sorry if this is posted already… but if you’re not one of the attendees at INDISC, is there anywhere to follow along online at the current standings for each different tourney? Would love to track the progress of some friends of mine occasionally, and can’t seem to find out where to do that.
Anyone knows when streaming starts?
It was nice to see Florida well represented last night by Eric Stone. The guy is incredibly intense when he plays and routinely kicks my butt down here in Florida. He won the 2020 INDISC Classics II and came in second in Classics I the night before swapping places with Cayle George. Those two guys will get a ton of point for that feat for sure.
I know they just have one broadcast rig, but it sure would be nice if they paid a little more attention to groups other than the one with the top qualifier. Maybe once in a while move the rig to another group or at least pop standing onto the screen whenever possible? I was keeping track of Eric on my PC with the handy standing page.

Congrats to Eric Stone, first winner of The Open Championship! Eric also won Classics II and placed second in Classics I. I project Eric will move up to world #3 once results for Indisc are posted.

There was two rigs and I thought the choice of play was spot on.

Just a message of thanks to Jim, Karl, Bob and all the volunteers, techs, helpers, staff at Banning Museum of Pinball. What an epic venue, what an epic competition - what a brilliant group of people.
I really enjoyed the weekend, was great to see friends, meet new ones and put names to faces and faces to names! I couldn’t think of a more apt designation than World Championship.
You guys absolutely smashed it and you have a huge amount to be proud of!
Thanks again,
Neil.

Awesome to see Eric win!! There was a lot of great play across the field. What a great tournament all around. Really well run too. Also, totally agree that the Finals had great coverage and used two rigs to keep up with as many groups as possible all the way through. It was fun watching Bob run around as TD. He will be here in Florida for the State Championship next Saturday.
Amazing job on INDISC 2020! It was my first INDISC — after jealously watching past INDISC streams/pics, and hearing people rave about it — it did not disappoint in any way, shape, or form. Jim, Karl, Bob, Jay, and the other volunteers and museum staff are rock stars! I will be making it a priority to attend again next year.
I was thrilled to have the opportunity to compete, and against all the incredible competitors, finish in the semifinals of The Open. Congrats to Eric Stone for winning his first Major, and crushing it all weekend in Classics, too.
I searched, but couldn’t find the thread on Diner custom ROM, so posting here…
@soren (is the Diner one yours?)…
We discovered in a multiplayer finals game, that the lit Todays Special scoop shot would award Start Multiball (when a ball was locked) on every other successful shot, and the pattern carried between players. Not sure if this was a random fluke, but the pattern seemed to not be random. In our group, for lit Today’s Special: P1 got Multiball award on ball 1, then P4 got paltry points; then the next Todays Special (with ball locked) P1 ball 2 got Multiball award, one of the next players got paltry points, and P1 ball 3 got another Multiball award.
Can anyone else who has the ROM replicate this? And if so, is it possible to fix this?

Unless it can be modded to not allow flipper staging, looks like R911 might be a new entrant to the banned games list.
But in all seriousness - HUGE thanks to the team of @pinbwzrd, @kdeangelo, @BMU, @jay, and everyone who pitched in time for putting on another world-class event. I can’t wait to see how 2021 can top this (perhaps me qualifying again? Toughest field yet!).

Are the challenge winners posted anywhere?

@soren I also noticed that at some point in the day, the first mode lit on Indy 500 changed from Dueling Drivers to Gasoline Alley. (redacted; this was an intentional ROM swap)

iirc Belsito switched the rom back to factory because the turbo was acting stupid and he wanted to eliminate variables. (thus you seeing the starting mode change after the rom swap)
also iirc, with a tear-down and clean of the turbo optos and some solder re-flowing for good measure the turbo was good to go.

Give me a week or so to recover and get back into the swing and I’ll update the site with all the 2020 Challenge winners

Thank you to all those who made INDISC/The Open go so well this weekend! INDISC has always been great, and they have unbelievably made the event better and better each year.
As for Diner, is it normal for it not to display the player 3 score? Or is that a new ROM thing?
I was trapped up on the left for a very long time on my final ball on it, trying to see my score but I never could. It was always covered up by “ball 1” I believe. Went through the status report repeatedly, but never saw my score while I was trapped up.
