Still recovering from last night and all I can say is wow what an amazing event! Each year it gets better and I can’t believe we had 85 players in the tournament. It was a beautiful evening hanging out in the backyard with our pinball friends. Great vibe, good times, great food and a great competition. The food was amazing, I love the variety and seeing what everyone brings to the table. The Jell-O shots were in full play accompanying with folks just hanging out by the fire in between rounds. A perfect evening and we are so thankful for all who came and made it the greatest event on record.
Congrats to Alex Marino for winning his first garage tournament! We remember watching him playing in the early garage tournaments and growing into a great tournament player. Nice work Alex impressive game on MM to seal the victory. Chris Compton from Georgia had an amazing run with 2 strikes in the 4th round to come in second place. Sierra Lieffort had an impressive run finishing 3rd. I can almost forgive her for giving me my third strike on Barracora
. She was on fire playing tough under pressure nice work!
Young Tristan Stafford came in 4th it’s awesome watching the next , next generation of pinball players competing with the heavy hitters in Florida. Fantastic competition everyone was playing hard and having a good time.
Thank you for all who helped us out we simply can’t do these events without the help from our friends. It’s so cool seeing everyone band together to make the party happen. This was a challenging year for us with a lot of non pinball personal stuff and traveling for fpf and thanksgiving so having the party as a goal was as much therapeutic as it was gratifying seeing everyone having a good time. Sharing and growing Florida pinball tournaments is our primary goal each year and it amazes me to see this event grow over the past decade. We look forward to Next December 7th, 2024 when we all meet back at the garage for some pinball and good times.
Regards and happy holidays,
Al
