Annual Open House and Tournament - October 13
« on: August 15, 2018, 12:42:14 PM »
This is just a quick note that I will be holding my annual open house on October 13.  As usual, there will be an IFPA sanction tournament. There will be no fees associated with entering the tournament, as I will pay the IFPA personally.  Given the volume of players in previous years, the most practical option is a three strikes tournament as we have had in previous years.  This thread is where I will post the link to the IFPA Calendar and more details about the tournament as we get closer to the date.

As always, the Florida pinball community is welcome.  I will provide a detailed description of the event and start accepting RSVP's once I have some details ironed out.  I scheduled to avoid pinball events in FT. Myers and Chicago during October, and hope my choice of date will work for many of you.  I look forward to seeing you in October.

Ron,

Can you recommend some local hotels in the area or pm your address to me so I can find something close. Looking forward to the event.

I sent Matt a PM, but thought I would provide general location information in the event that anyone else is considering a hotel.

I live in Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33418.  I live about 1 mile west of the Donald Ross Road exit (#83) off of I95.  For those wondering about the Turnpike, my home is located about midway between the Indiantown Road exit and the PGA Blvd. exit.  More detailed address and contact info will be provided to guests via PM.

Thanks,

Ron

Only place with significant number of pins nearby that is public is Silverball Museum in Delray, which is about 40 minutes away.  Other than that, there may be a couple here or there, but I mostly play the 35-40 available at my place, so I do not know the other places.  Most people nearby just play at my house when they are not playing their own machines.
