ANNOUNCE: pin tournaments in Fairfax, VA - Dec 2011 and Feb 2012

Mark Your Calendars!

2 big tournaments for your Fairfax, VA Pinball Pleasure!

------
Our Annual Fairfax Pinball Open (FPO) will be February 24-25, 2012. More details to follow at www.virginiapinball.org (as soon as we get it updated).

------
Also, we are having a Fairfax Fall Classic Pinball tournament. This will be held on Friday and Saturday, December 2-3. In spite of the name, "Fall Classic", the format will be similar to our annual Spring tournament, with a classics bracket event on Friday night.

That is: Classics on Friday, December 2, and qualifying for the main event will also begin on Friday afternoon, continuing through Saturday afternoon, with playoffs later on Saturday.
 
I will be there(I am helping to run the Dec tourny) and I am bringing at least one of the pins out of my collection. If you live close or far away and you like pinball these are awesome events! If you want to get exposure to a wide variety of games you should show up and guest play at one of the league locations! I just showed up on a whim 3 seasons ago and have been hooked since.

I will post again when we know for certain what the titles will be for the tournament. Johns has a number of games on site but several people are bringing games from home collections for this tournament so we should have a good selection of games.

Since it has not been posted on klov before, check out the FSPA promo vid http://www.youtube.com/user/freestatepinball

See you there!

Bump!

We are still picking the games. I am bringing a Swords of Fury and possibly my Twilight Zone or Stargate(depends which one is ready).

It looks like we will have a Tron LE, and an Eight Ball Deluxe in the lineup as well.

The Classic sounds fun, and I enjoyed my last Fairfax tourney. (OK, I admit I'm an FSPA alum too!) Alas, it's the same weekend as the Washington Heights Pinball Open here in NYC. (posted earlier here.) Hope to make it to the FFX Open in Feb.!
 
2 days of pinball - Just a few days away!
