*Wisconsin Pinball

why did you need to make it now? I am happy to stand in and help out if you want to go to GA. Thanks for the offer Hilton, but after some consideration I decided this is the way I wanted to go. It was more or less a decision I made with myself last night. I got an email from Josh about finalizing d...

As of today via Josh Sharpe, I forfeited my potential spot in GA's state championship and will be helping with the WI State Championship tournament directing duties, alongside Tully. Kinda annoyed that I had to make the decision now, but it should make life easier for those of us running the tournam...

Hey everyone, thought I would move a lot of the conversation about the WI State Championship over here to this new thread.

No, its still available. If it's sold I'll let everyone know.

Thanks Hilton, but the problems I have the tool doesn't solve (constructing playoff matches for me, detecting ties and automatically constructing tie matches). I have a good friend with massive amounts of Excel-fu that I routinely trade knowledge with, so we're gonna have a hackathon and fix it some...

just wish we had one in WI :cry: Stern decides beforehand where they should be. When Josh put out a feeler for tourney directors for the MET launch earlier this year, I offered to help run one and was turned down because all the locations had been decided already. :( Apparently we are too close to ...

So pinball in an apartment doesn't work well unless you have the right building and the right neighbors, and I have neither. So I'd like to sell my 1975 Gottlieb Solar City. Same layout / rules as Target Alpha, but two player. Great for practicing aiming with all those drop targets. It's in player's...

Just an FYI: you probably won't be seeing too many more Milwaukee events added to the IFPA Calendar unless someone else, beside myself, is the tournament director for them. My Fall + early winter is terribly busy, with family functions, some new work events, and two pinball tournaments already (the ...

also, what is this "IFPA endorsed flipper rubber" stuff all about? are they expecting machines to have a specific rubber installed? I'm referring to this: http://www.ifpapinball.com/saturn-pinball-rubber-rings-discount-for-ifpa-tournament-organizers Nothing has been sent to me saying that...

So I assume you are waiting till after that to know if you make GA state finals and then decide to defect from WI or not ? More events can theoretically be scheduled in GA between now and the end of the year. I'm also not sure when APL submits their league results to the IFPA. I can't know until en...

Tully, If Jon defects, I will lend you a hand. It is the only way I will make it to the event and probably the right thing to do. If you can't beat em, then run the events so you can join em' ;) I won't know for certain if I'm in until later this year. The comment was more or less a heads-up. Looks...

I am actually debating running the REAL WI state Championship at a private residence on the same date that IFPA is running their fake WI championships. As many of you know I feel the IFPA state championship stuff is a crock based on 2 things: 1. As Jon pointed out, the state you live in has nothing...

After yesterdays Up North tourney I think we need to get a few more WI tourneys on the schedule. try and get more WI people into the top 16 for the state chamionship. Sounds like it's pretty easy to get it "official". 1. have it on the IFPA calendar 30 days in advance. 2. Have a website (...

What? Uptowner Monthly Pinball Tournament Where? The Uptowner (1032 E Center St Milwaukee, WI 53212) When? October 16th at 7PM Format? Single- or Double-Elimination, depending upon number of people that show up. Format subject to change. Cost? Quarters only (50 cents per credit) Prizes? Beer from La...
