SPF Tournament News!
« on: November 05, 2013, 12:02:28 PM »
I just got word that Mark & Bowen are bringing all their PAPAtv gear with them to SPF! That means live streaming of all the seminars, as well as the last hours of tournament qualifying and the finals on Sunday. I have coerced (i.e. bribed) them into doing a PAPAtv Live seminar on Saturday that I'm sure you won't want to miss.

That being said, WE NEED YOUR GAMES! We're looking for the best games from the community...I promise you'll get our undying gratitude. I'll make sure that any owners whose games are used in the tournament at publicly thanked on the live streams, so polish your balls and show us what you got! Don't be shy...this is your chance to show everybody what Florida collectors have to offer!

This is going to be awesome!

The last hours of qualifying are a zoo.  It will be amazing to capture that and of course finals (unless it was Time Machine at GW-4 way scoring disaster !)

Looking forward to this!

I think this is a good general guideline for the whole event.... ideally it would be a showcase of everyone's best games.

Excited about the live feed!!  Everyone will need to brush their hair and smile for the camera!!

LOTS of truth about that Sean.  After going to other shows, in state and out, there is no question out of towner-pinheads enjoy seeing other peoples games, what they are holding, how they are kept, modded, and how they feel to play.  It brings great pleasure to showcase my games and I hope you all feel the same.  If you are bringing a game, please let us know ASAP by either logging onto arcadegametracker.com or dropping me an email/PM.  Three days free at the show is included and we will help unload if it is needed.  Carts, dollies, and muscle, will be there to help.

Thanks again for all who have donated games, without YOU, there is no SHOW!

I did not email, but I called.  I think that probably counts for your purposes.
