Jolly Park Discussion-
I have purposely not JP in the league lineup because it has a software bug that ends a ball when you are running a multiball from the Clown (upper playfield) and then you build up a progressive stacked multiball (from the center lock). There is no workaround for this. This will effect most likely no one, but I want people to be aware of it. Honestly, JP would be a fine tournament game, but tends to have a little bit longer ball times because you cannot disable extra balls. there are like 5 different ways to get an extra ball, so it can get long if you are rocking it a bit. That being said, JP is a center draining pig, with lots of missed shots heading straight down the middle. Talk amongst yourselves, and we can vote whether or not this game is in the league rotation. All games can have quirks, but I wanted this one to be known ahead of time.

Tim - looks great! I've been wanting to play IJ for some time now, so this will finally give me the opportunity! I really wish one would have turned up at Expo or PBL this past weekend, but no luck. Of course, I was picking up a Monopoly from a guy in IL earlier on Thursday that had a beautiful IJ, but alas no time to play.

Looking forward to this - see everyone soon.

I vote ya to Jolly!

I initially thought LOTR would be a bad choice but then i remembered how you set games up.

My longest game on LOTR so far is about 10 minutes. If you thought your TAF was fast, this LOTR is stupid fast. I am actually considering lowering the pitch a bit, as I can't really get through that much of the game without getting kicked in the nuts.

Looking forward to League Night number 2 with some good times and alright guys !!!!

Tim > What is the status of new members? Are we up to 20? Is that the decided limit?

[MikeS]

Nice line-up of games for this month's meet. I've had all but 1 of my games in storage for the past month (for my move) so I'm really looking forward to being able to play some pinball with friends!

Hope it's alright that I may be bringing a friend along? My wife and I have friends' from out of town staying with us this weekend. He wouldn't play in the tournament but would be up for hanging out and playing games after.

Hey guys,

Getting Ready for the event this Saturday, please make sure you look at the detailed schedule information for my address and instructions (please go around back, don't come to the front door-kids sleeping)....

Check in here in this thread to let me know your status for this week so i can get a head count. I know Sean and Tully won't make it, but everyone else, please let me know. Also, bringing guests is perfectly fine, just remember to pay the host (myself this time) 10 bucks if you plan on eating/drinking throughout the night. My gameplan is a shitload of beer and soda, and then the local bowling alley has great pizza, so chime in on pizza choices. Also, will have some chips, etc....
