Craig jumps up to the top 4 with a 19 point week in group 2, Keith and Tommy tie in group 1, and Chris comes out on top by the bonus point in group 3. Please read below to take the week 8 game selection survey. 
To determine the games for week 8 I have created a preference survey. The list includes all games that have only been played once during this season. I will leave the survey open until Monday afternoon (10/3/16) at which time I will announce which games we will play for Tuesday. You must select 5 games to complete the survey.

You have 5 nights left to put up some scores for September Selfie League! Currently Matt is just one game away from the clean sweep for the month and a perfect 500 score! No one has done it yet, perhaps he will when we play Fire on Tuesday at league. He put up a monstrous 1.6 billion on Game of Thrones last night!
The rest of the standings are below, and don’t forget league tomorrow night 7:30 PM at MSA!
Hey Guys! What’s that? We aren’t even done with fall season and Tommy is already talking about winter?! Yeah I am, mostly because with the holiday season coming up, and the fact that I almost forgot to register our fall season with the IFPA I really wanted to make sure that I got this all taken care of ahead of time.
I have made a slight change to the winter season and that is expanding it to 10 weeks instead of 8 weeks. The reason for this is because I assumed around a few of the holidays we may get some light attendance and I wanted to make sure everyone still had the opportunity to show up for the minimum requirement of 3 weeks. It also worked really well within the actual calendar letting our season run for the entirety of November, December, and January pretty much perfectly and gives us a slight break before the State Championship Series in February.
Here is the schedule, and yes I have already submitted it to the IFPA for official approval.
Games for Week 7 are Space Shuttle, Game of Thrones Premium, Fire, Tri-Zone, and Creature from the Black Lagoon! League play starts promptly at 7:30 PM!
Below are the standings as we head into the final two weeks of the regular season. Remember league finals will be held October 11th and there is a $10 entry fee to participate in the finals tournament. That night does typically run a bit longer due to the best of 3 matches and double elimination format so plan accordingly. See everyone next Tuesday!
The results from Main Street Mayhem are now officially posted to the IFPA website and with Trent finishing first he moves into 3rd place overall in the state…kind of scary. Anyway check them out for yourselves here, or look below.
Current Indiana State Rankings for IFPA, remember if you want to play in the championships in February make sure you are in the top 16, otherwise you are counting on one of those players passing up their spot to get you in.
Just your friendly reminder that tomorrow night is the 3rd Tuesday Monthly Tournament at Main Street Amusements. I hear Dan is out for revenge on Craig for all the trash talking from Mayhem this weekend. As always $5 entry fee + coin drop, 3 strikes format, starts promptly at 8 PM. All entry fee money is paid back to the top 4 finishers, hope to see you all there! 
First off thank you so much to Dan St. John for allowing us to have this event at Main Street Amusements! Secondly thank you to everyone who traveled to play in the tournament, we had the states of Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Kentucky, Ohio, and Colorado represented by the different players. Some of you made long trips to come and play, without you guys and gals we wouldn’t have had the tournament so I can’t thank you enough. In addition the conduct of the players throughout the tournament; keeping your cool in stressful situations, handling game issues with patience and courtesy, and general respect towards one another as competitors made it one of the best tournaments I have been a part of. A big thank you to Double Danger Pinball, they took care of our logo design, sticker, shirt, and award printing as well. I can’t tell you the number of compliments I heard from participants about how much they liked all the stuff. Be sure to check out their website and order some pinball swag as they are top notch guys all around. If anyone is interested in ordering a Main Street Mayhem shirt, we still have a few XL & 2XL left that can be purchased directly from me.
As many of you were made aware last week Dan decided to put some cause behind our tournament and he would be donating all coin drop from the entire weekend to Natalie’s Second Chance, a no kill animal shelter in Lafayette, and in addition to that he would be matching the coin drop to double the donation…..then on Sunday he even one upped that saying he would not only match the coin drop, but then round-up to the next thousand dollar amount! As of roughly 7 PM last night that meant Dan and Main Street Amusements was going to be donating at least $3000 to Natalie’s!!!! That makes me incredibly happy that we were able to take a hobby that we all have a passion for, and use it to contribute to a great cause. Again, Dan, thank you for your kindness and charitable acts with the tournament and for providing us with such an awesome location to play some pinball.
Overall the tournament ran very smooth and from what I could tell everyone seemed to have a very good time playing. We hope to make this an annual event in the future, so if you had fun let some friends know about it, and help us to build the reputation of the tournament.
The winner was no surprise as Trent Augenstein, #12 ranked IFPA player in the world, came away with the title in A division, but it wasn’t without a challenge. Lafayette’s very own Craig Farner, who had to sneak into A division with a late night playoff game on Saturday just to get the 16th seed, took Trent all the way to the very last game of the finals before falling just short of the upset. Myself, Tommy Skinner, took third, and Darren Kamnitzer rounded out the top 4 for A Division. In B division Stuart Nyswonger came away with the clean victory and left behind three players in a tie for second place; Sam Bean, Nick Beach, and Mark Uncapher. The three players came to an agreement on splitting the prize money for 2nd-4th place in B, but did play a one game playoff to determine finishing positions. Mark Uncapher finished runner-up, 3rd went to Sam Bean, and 4th went to Nick Beach. 
All results from the tournament have been submitted to the IFPA and should be available for your viewing pleasure sometime this week.
