Yup.
We are 40 days until Showtime.
Mark your calendars now.
Do not miss this fantastic show.
Don’t forget to go to the official website.
Register your games you are bringing,
Reserve your tickets for the Flippin Friday kickoff dinner where we present the 2nd annual Steve Charland Spirit Award to a wonderful pinbassidor.
The pinball pirate, Chris Kuntz.
The food is going to be unbelievable as it was last year.
More games, more camping,
More good food and fun.
More pinball, more of the best pinball people.
See you there.

Cool the tournament is going back to Herb format. If it gets as many people as last year (169), with 30 max entries, those 12 games will get crowded. Even with 22 hours of qualifying. Damien should think about either lowering the max entries to 20 or increasing the cost per entry. (or both) Currently under $2 per entry. $2.50 per entry with 20 max would still have the same $50 cap.

I’d expect fewer entries with the Herb format and lines vs. structured pingolf where there’s very little waiting. A lot of the players won’t go for more than the base 10 entries, either.
