I’m so excited! I’ve assembled this collection of GIFs to express my feelings about tonight! 8:30 PM, North End Pub!!! Be there or else!!! See everyone tonight!

It’s Back!!! Finally, the time has come for all of us who don’t even exercise to get our chance to compete for glory!

This Thursday at 8:30 PM we will kick off our return of HOPS Pinball League. Our location is just one of 9 across the state who will battle it out for pinball supremacy! The season lasts 8 weeks, and your best 6 will count in the final standings. The league is free to join, and will only cost a couple dollars in quarters each week to play the required games. Anyone can come and play so don’t be afraid to try something new. Bring some friends or neighbors with because the more players we have the more fun we have. Will you rise to the top? Will you be the cream of the crop?

How will you celebrate your victory over your inferior foes? Will you display the splendor of Winona or the dancing passion of Bill?

At the end of the season who will be left to stand as the King of the Hoosier Pinball World?

IT COULD BE YOU!!!!! See everyone Thursday night and if you have any questions just let me know!

It is finally here! The Cup shall be awarded to the team left standing at the end of the night on Thursday! The defending champion Region Rats finish the regular season in 1st place claiming the spot over the Super Jackpots, who finished 2nd, based on the head to head tie-breaker. In 3rd place Pindemonium Drei! who are seeking to make their way back to the championship. In 4th place, we have The Doom Room who holds the head to head tie-breaker over R.I.P. Tommy B. The full bracket for the finals can be found below. The Region Rats await the play-in match between Doom Room and R.I.P. Tommy B. While The Super Jackpots faceoff against Pindemonium Drei! and a chance to earn a spot in the Championship! See everyone on Thursday night!

That’s right!!!! This Sunday, 1 PM at North End Pub we will be hosting our Monthly 4-Strikes Tournament. We have 20 machines down at North End Pub including the new Stranger Things. Get your WPPR points, complete some Pinquests, hang out watch some XFL and have a good time.

With us starting at 1 PM that means we should be wrapping up by 7 PM or so when Main Street Amusements will be opening and you’ll be able to go and check out their brand new Rick & Morty machine from Spooky Pinball! With only a handful of these on location across the country at this point, it is certainly not a game a lot of people are going to get to see regularly. I was fortunate enough to get to check it out last night and it is an ass-kicking good time.

So again, tournament at North End Pub at 1 PM on Sunday, then head over to Main Street Amusements and get in some Rick & Morty time!

It’s the last night of Team League regular season and next week we will have finals!

Here are the matchups for tonight:

Here are the current league standings:

With a win tonight the Super Jackpots could force a tie for 1st place in the regular season. Next week we will play an elimination tournament until a championship team is crowned and awarded The Cup!

See everyone tonight!

It’s the best night of the week! Free Play Wednesday from open to close tonight! I’ll get down there to change the machines over as soon as I’m done with wrestling practice.

Thursday night we the Team League schedule is as follows:

There is however a chance that we could be facing some inclement weather that evening that could affect the Region Rats attendance. If that were to be the case we will alter the schedule. We will just play it by ear and remain flexible as we head into week 4 of team league.

With that being said HOPS League is just one month away from kicking back off on Thursday nights!!! March 5th will be the first night of our Spring Season. Compete for the chance to battle the best players from across the state by participating in the HOPS League.

March 5th – April 30th Hops League Spring Season 2020! The Finals will be held on May 16th!

So, do you think you have what it takes to win the NEP Pinball Championship from Brett? February is here and with a new month comes new Pinquestopportunities. If you still haven’t signed up yet get over to Pinquest and do it, it just takes a minute of your time and gives you the chance to get title shots, free pizza, and other stuff!

We are still running all the games from January (Royal Rumble, Flash Gordon, and Jurassic Park) through the end of February, so if you have started progress on that quest you still got time to get it completed. The Billionaire’s Club will keep running as well.

And now for February, we have Pinquests to complete on Demolition Man, Stranger Things, and Fish Tales! Get down to the bar and take your shot!

The returning champs, Region Rats, stay unbeaten with a 6-3 win over the Super Jackpots last week, and Pindemonium squeaked a win out over RIP Tommy B, 5-4.

Heading into week 3 RIP Tommy B will get the bye week and we will have the matchup many are expecting to be the battle of the year with The Region Rats taking on the Doom Room!

Here are the current standings:

So we have week 2 of Team League tonight at North End Pub! The Doom Room gets the bye this week, and the other matchups are below.

The season standings after week 1:

Lastly, the current Indiana Matchplay State Champion, Luke Sheahan, has announced a special title defense for this Sunday at North End Pub! He will take on the top 3 finishers from Sunday’s 4 strikes tournament in a Champions Challenge. The format will be  4-player, 4-game playoff, with 3-2-1-0 scoring. Each player picks one game (3rd place picks first, then 2nd, then 1st, then champ) and plays first on their own selection. So if you want a shot at the belt, make sure you are at North End Pub by 1PM to play in the 4-strikes tournament so you can earn your shot at the champion! Also remember we will be watching the Royal Rumble that night and throwing together quite the feast so feel free to stick around and stuff your face.

Someone bring the title back to the Hoosier State!

It is our first tournament of 2020 down at North End Pub this Sunday! 4-Strikes format, no entry fee just coin drop on the machines. The tournament will be followed by the WWE Royal Rumble and the typical North End Pub feast/pot luck dinner! Bring something to share if you want or just bring your appetite and get ready to eat well!

We also installed the new Stern Stranger Things pinball over in the bowling alley last night. I closed the outlanes a bit and increased the ball save time. The way the code sits right now you are better off playing for modes and multiball and ignoring the Demogorgon up the middle, but if you do feel the need to battle him just know killing it by shooting it into the mouth is difficult. Our launch party will be on February 16th for that game!

Also if you are looking to play any Bram Stoker’s Dracula get down to the bar and do it before Saturday because on Saturday BSD is leaving, and Demolition Man is coming in!

Demolition Man was one of the first games I learned to play back in the day and has some of the coolest features in pinball, plus it is loaded with great shots and tons of different multiball modes!

Check out this video tutorial in case you are unfamiliar with it as it will most likely be in the tournament on Sunday!
