Taking a cue from the wonderful people at The Sanctum (www.tothesanctum.org)… Blizzard Mountain Pinball in Conifer, CO will be hosting “The Blizzard Mountain Winter is Coming 24 Hour Pinball Marathon.” This event is a 24 hour long non-stop marathon tournament taking place on November 3rd starting at 10 AM MDT (doors will open at 9am MDT) and finishing on November 4th at 9AM MST. Psst, the missing hour is for daylight savings time. We are sneaky like that.
REGISTRATION AND FEES:
Cost of event is $65 + a $30 swipe card for ALL games played during the marathon. Event registration will open Saturday September 8th at 10AM. For event payment, a Paypal link will be provided on the registration page. Fees need to be paid in full within 48 hours of the registration timestamp or the registering player will lose their place in line and will need to re-register for the event. Refunds for the event will be available until 7 days before the start of the event. There will also be a wait list once participation registration is filled. Wait listed players will not have to pay for the event until a spot opens up for them. This competition is currently limited to 52 participants.
EVENT DETAILS:
We will have a few small periodic breaks in between rounds to allow people to head out to local venues for food and supplies. We highly recommend that participants bring a cooler with food and beverages for the duration of the event. There will be a fridge and microwave for everyone to use, and will have plenty of water available. There will also be microwavable food available onsite for purchase, and convenient food delivery options. We have chairs, tables, and benches, but welcome people to bring folding type chairs for additional seating and camping mats for a quick nap under a pinball game. We will be using matchplay.events for tracking results, this will also provide text message notifications to all players when rounds are starting. The “Winter is Coming” name of the event is not just a catchy line. Conifer, CO is 8,277 ft. above sea level and it will get cold at night. Bring appropriate clothing and prepare for low temperatures once the sun goes down.
Blizzard Mountain Pinball is not licensed to have alcoholic beverages on the premises.
PRIZES AND PAYOUTS:
There are trophies for the top 3 finishers and cash prizes will be given to the top 4 competitors of the tournament. Players executing a perfect round will be awarded a bounty at the end of the round. Finishing the 24 hour marathon will yield cash prizes to the winner of each 4-player group after their final round! The higher ranking of your group, the higher the prize purse for the final round. Finally, every player who plays for all 24 hours and never sits out a round will be awarded a “Blizzard Mountain Pinball Winter is Coming” completion medal, just like finishing a marathon. As the event registration fills, more details about prize amounts and disbursements will be announced.
PRELIMINARY TOURNAMENT:
And if that isn’t enough, Blizzard Mountain Pinball will also be holding a pre-marathon tourney as well. The event kicks off Friday, November 2nd at 6PM MDT with a 3-strikes knockout tournament. Cost of entry is $5 (+ cost of games played). There will be 100% payout of entry fees to the top 4 players.
