I mostly used pinballvideos.com to find these (thanks @umbilico!). The first 17 are videos that are only of the game in question, or at least start with one of the tournament games (I’m downloading these to my phone and seeking ahead is a hassle on mobile). The remainder are multi-game videos that each feature at least one game from the tournament lineup.
