Team League and Selfie Tournament Standings!

Here are the current Team League standings!

First Place is Pindemonium Zwei with three wins and 21 total points. Second place are the Region Rats with 2 wins and 16 points, and trailing just behind them is RIP Tommy B also with 2 wins, but only 15 team points. Currently in fourth are the reigning champions Super Jackpots with 1 win and 13 points, closely followed by The Doom Room who hold a head to head victory over the Super Jackpots but only have 11 points to currently go with their 1 win. Coming up in the rear are the Pull & Pray team currently with no wins and 5 points on the season. We have two games left for each team.

Due to Valentines Day next Thursday we are going to cancel team league and instead hold a doubleheader night the following week on February 21st so please make sure that all teams can show up that night and we will wrap up the regular season. Finals night will take place on February 28th where the top 2 teams will face off to win the Team League Cup! The next two teams battle for 3rd, and the bottom two teams fight to not claim the shame of the season.Β Team League Standings

February Selfie Tournament

Just a quick update to the February Selfie Tournament, the games are now The Shadow and Monster Bash!

Stingray won’t be able to make it down for a few more days so we wanted everyone to be able to get this month in gear especially since it is a short month.

Here is a tutorial on The Shadow from world Champion Bowen Kerins.

Remember you can enter scores at any time throughout the month, and the finals will be at 6PM the first Monday of March.

Selfie Finals Tonight 8:30 PM & Team League Update

Just your friendly reminder that the January Selfie Tournament finals will be tonight at about 8:30 PM. Top 8 get to play in finals, but we already know Matt Peace can’t make it and neither can Kim Coghill so that makes Tom Vandenberg the 8th seed and John Hawxby the first alternate. 4 strike tournament, 2 strikes per group.

Get down to North End Pub tonight for FREE PLAY Wednesday and your last chance at getting in practice before tomorrow night when TEAM LEAGUE returns! As of right now, I believe we have at least 6 teams that are playing for the cup this year.

  • Super Jackpots – Tommy, Kaleb, Josh, John, and Alyssa
  • Casey’s Team – Casey, Ed, and Carla
  • Region Rats – Phil Mowers, Travis Lancaster, Mark Uncapher, Matt Tozcek, Brad Smith, & Nick Beach
  • Sam’s Team – I’m assuming Sam has assembled a team
  • Keith’s Team – Keith, Janet, Danielle, and Michael
  • Doom Room – I’m assuming the Doom Room will assemble a force to be reckoned with by Thursday.

If anyone else wants in we can place you on other teams or still arrange for a new team to be scheduled into the league. We will play on Thursday nights starting a bit after 8:00 PM. As always players are encouraged to eat, drink, and be cheer on your teammates. This league is designed to be relaxing and fun.

Also, a reminder that this coming Sunday there is the 7th Anniversary Party and Pinball Tournament at Main Street Amusements, the tourney will start at 7:30 PM.

The following Sunday, January 27th, there will be two pinball tournaments at North End Pub as well as a watch party for the WWE Royal Rumble! The tournament will start at 4PM on Sunday, and be 4 strikes knockout. Then during the Royal Rumble, we will host our own version of that on Royal Rumble Pinball Machine as well using a ladder knockout format. Won’t be worth a lot of points but should be pretty damn fun, going to take a bit of luck to win that one. Feel free to bring some food to share that night as we usually do a bit of a pot luck style dinner for the event. Hope to see everyone there!
