Thank you to everyone who joined us for a fantastic night of pinball at Replay Bar!
For qualifying, all players played on 7 different pinball machines. Points were awarded based on the best scores relative to other players on each machine, with a maximum of 100 points per machine. Only the top 5 scores out of the 7 machines were counted, so players had a chance to recover even if they made mistakes on 2 machines.
After qualifying, we broke into two groups. The top 6 competed for the title, while a fun B-Division played for prizes. The finals were conducted as a 2-strike knockout, where players competed head-to-head, earning a strike for each loss. The last player standing without two strikes was declared the winner.
The B-Division was a hit, with everyone enjoying the games and celebrating together as we spectated some fantastic matches. A special thank you to our sponsors, Stern Army, and AMD as well as Replay Bar for hosting us. See you all at the next event!
Join us back at Replay Bar in Hobart for our next tournament: Best Game! In this new [to us] format, you'll play each game once and record your score. The highest score on each machine, relative to other players, earns the most points. The top players will then advance to a 2-strikes elimination tournament.
Whether you're a seasoned player, or a newcomer eager to join the fun, we hope to see you there!
Best Game!
