Keith not only won our NEP Season Finale last Thursday but he strapped that Championship Belt on and headed down to Boss Battle Games in Indianapolis to compete against the rest of the finalists from around the state and came out victorious on Saturday in the inaugural HOPS Season Finals.

North End Pub represented well sending 4 finalists Keith, Danielle Alexander, Brett Maxwell, and Zach DeWitt. Brett and Zach were eliminated narrowly in the first round but made a great showing for their first pinball competition outside of North End Pub. Danielle advanced to the final 8 on a tie-breaker game, claiming victory on Indianapolis 500. Keith would end up outlasting his 3 opponents in the finals with two second-place finishes followed by wins on games three and four of the finals to finish the round with 24 points and another championship to his name. I truly hope everyone had a blast playing in this season and it heats up the competition to head down to the finals of our next season which will run June-July, the finals taking place in early August.

The selfie finals for April are tonight at 6PM! If you are in the top 8 you are definitely in the finals. 4-strikes format, groups of 4 get 2 strikes, groups of 3 get 1 strike. Play until 1 player is left without 4 strikes. Hope to see everyone there!

If you happened to have missed league last Thursday get down there for Make-Up Monday tonight! 8:30 start time per usual. Also, remember this Thursday is the last night of the season, week 8! We will still have Make-Up Monday next week as well as I know several players are traveling out of town this Thursday for a pinball show.

Lastly, get ready for the return of Flash Gordon! After traveling up to Pinball at the Zoo in Kalamazoo, MI this weekend the game will be coming back to North End Pub! Freshly restored with a huge thank you going out to Michael Alexander for doing a ton of work on this machine! It is going to play fast and brutal so have your quarters ready!

If anyone is curious about Pinball at the Zoo it is an awesome show, lots of games to play, a tournament running the whole time, and usually some pretty good deals on games and or parts. I strongly encourage anyone to attend and lots of good breweries in the area of the show as well.

Bad News and GREAT NEWS!

Unfortunately, there will be no FREE PLAY Wednesday this week, I will be out of town today for a pinball tournament and won’t be able to get the machines switched over. Goldeneye is still on free play but everything else will take a few quarters tonight, sorry for any inconvenience. Still feel free to submit those selfie scores on Metallica, Stars, & Prospector. That is it for the bad news.

Now for the GREAT NEWS! Tomorrow we have The 3rd Annual Henry House Bowling Benefit!  This event helps out our good friend Henry! It starts at 6 PM and when it concludes we will still have our regular night of league pinball. Mark and I are going to donate all the coin drop from the pinball machines tomorrow night to the charity event as well so get in there early & stay late so we can make a nice big donation while having a lot of fun playing pinball.

Also, there are only two weeks of the league season left, and the Championship League Belt will be on display tomorrow night so you can all see what you are looking to battle for! Remember the top 4 players from our location get invited to play in Indy on May 4th for the SUPER LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP! A custom trophy has just been ordered for this as well that the champion will get to keep until the next season of finals.

Can’t wait to see everyone tomorrow!
