A little bit more about the location, if you haven’t been or are considering an impromptu pinball trip:

Westerly is directly off of I-95, 3 hours north of NYC and 1.5 hours south of Boston.
The bar is directly across the street from an Amtrak station that goes to NYC and Boston. There’s a lot of cool restaurants and shops, and its only a short drive to the beach and to Watch Hill, where famous pinball player and musician Taylor Swift has a home.*

The games at Flip-side are of impeccable quality. They’re owned by local collectors Mark and Dana Carvey, who are really obsessed with making sure the games play correctly.

It’s probably gonna be worth decent WPPRs (20ish? Maybe even more).

around half the field will qualify, and even those that don’t are guaranteed 18 games of competitive pinball. Can’t say enough about this series of tourney. I hope you’ll consider making a trip for this if you live nearby!

*Taylor Swift may or may not play pinball.
