Cost is $15 dollars to enter the Arcade and you can play any of the
317 games available and get the entry to the competition as part of
your admission.  You can arrive at 11:00am and stay until close at
2:00am as long as you keep your receipt and there are several eating
establishments around the area, so you can leave and return.


Sign-ups start at 6pm and end around 8:30pm  Play starts at 7.  Any
pinball league members and/or anyone in the WPPR Top 250 who attends
will be put in the Pro
division.


The winning prize is $50 plus a Galloping Ghost T-shirt in Pro and
Novice divisions.


It will be a "one and done" type tourney.  You will play one game
each, on five machines.  Your scores will then be put into the
pinball
Tourney software and the top scorer combined on all five games wins.
There are no buy ins or finals.  The intent is to finish around
10pm.


There are no WPPR points awarded at this time as this is an event
sponsored by the arcade and the idea is the get the local video folks
interested in pinball.  But one and done also means that there is no
need to return at a later time & date for finals.  In other words:
All for fun!  Plus the arcade itself is a great place to relive all
of
those 1980's memories!


Pins available for the competition are:  Flash!, Gorgar, FunHouse,
PinBot & Twilight
Zone, Millionaire, Black Knight.


Other pins to play:  Space Mission and Hot Tip.


Previous winners for the "Pro" division were:
1st: Yancy
2nd: Old School Al
3rd: Razer X

Also, don't forget that Brixies [ www.brixies.com ] is a block away
from the "Ghost" that has Tron LE with 4 power balls , Medieval Madness and Cactus Canyon
on route, not to mention the 30+ beers on tap.  Lets support
our Operators!

Just a reminder, the tourney is This Saturday.  Optional, but if you
have a QR Code reader you may want to bring it.  It will be used to
track your place in the standings.
