Who's participating in TOURNAMENTS?
« on: July 24, 2012, 07:27:18 PM »
Just curious to give our arcade tournament organizers an idea of what to expect, as not sure how many have actually signed up for either online.

Wow, is this mic on???  :-[ 

Either nobody's reading this post, or nobody's planning on doing the tournaments.  If THAT'S the case, I'll jump into the Pinball tournament and it will be me, Donnie, Corpse, and Spencer...and I will make Bat kibble out of all of them!!!! :)  And THEN, I'll hop into the Arcade tourney and play against....me...and make Bat kibble out of....well, just ME, since I'll be the only one competing?  I like those odds, I guarantee I'll win THAT one.  Or maybe there will be an incredible mad rush for these.  Are people too shy to commit to ANYTHING in advance, or just nobody cares?  I hope it's the former, so those interested will have some decent competition and a good time, especially since people have gone through the effort to organize and donate their time to have these this year.  It would be a damn shame if they're poorly attended.  But at least I'll be the dual tournament Bat-champ!!!  :P  Come on, all this stuff is for YOU guys, not because people needed more shit to do in their lives.  Come, partake, enjoy!!!!

I was thinking of participating in the classic game tournament.  I have all the games and spent some time playing the other night and realized I won't have a chance - I never even came close to 20 minutes on most of the games!   I might give it a go anyways though just for fun.

Settle down, Beavis :)

I think you will find there will be more participating than you think, and strong competition you never even considered :) Not everyone reads, let alone camps out on, the pinball groups :)

We certainly appreciate all the efforts, and know how much work it takes to put on a show, and run a pinball tourney.

Looking forward to a weekend of pinball.

Just trying to stir up some competition, as the numbers were looking a little depressing for the guys running the tournaments, and don't want them to think nobody will show up.

As for YOU sir... bring on your competition! :)  I'll have you know I already won a dollar from Spencer last night in our pre-tournament smackdown.  Ironically, Thomas will be happy to know it was on HIS Tron! :)  Although Spencer got his revenge, as he slid that bitch halfway around the GW floor and back, he looked like a toboggan racer!  That thing moves FAST on carpet...and with Spencer chasing it.  It was also on a game of 7 ball Tron. I kept telling him how my 6th and 7th balls are usually where I make my comeback, and I proved it.  Nobody beats me at 7 ball. :)  (Rob/ HFK was there also to verify).

Just warning you....just warning... :)  :)
