Whose actually running this tourney? It says it's being ran by the local 'kc pinball league', I wasn't aware of anything such thing other than the one that Don has organized from time to time. I might think about going if I had some more details about what games were going to be there plus who is actually putting it on. I'd email them directly but I know that's pointless, you only have like a 1 in 5 chance of them actually responding. :) I did buy a couple games from them earlier this year, haven't been down there in about 6 months now.
 
I am 4 hours from KC and would love to attend some sort of expo some time. I know it is not an expo, but might you have more details on how many pins might be there?
 
I can pretty much guarantee that it won't be worth driving 8 hours round trip for. You'd be better off going to Bene's in Omaha to play, much better games. I think the warehouse currently has:

Rollercoaster Tycoon
Maverick
Jungle Lord
Gorgar
Last Action Hero
maybe Fish Tales?

+ whatever other people bring. The games will be clean and probably 95% functional (i.e. fully playable, but might have a couple switches out or minor other things), they're more arcade guys. The guy that owns the place is a really nice guy, just super busy with everything. I'm glad that they're doing well.
 
Cool thanks for the warning. benes is a bunch of fun. love the super mario there. I hear big johns has quite the collection

Still neat they are doing a tourny. Have a good time there.
 
its being run by the kc pinball league not by kc game room they are just hosting the event

i will be in full repair mode this week getting all the pins up and running before the event and the leauge should be providing more pins than just what kc game room has

I'm going to see if I can stop by. I've wanted to visit KC Game Warehouse and this will give me an excuse.

Cool, I found out this morning that Don is actually running it, it's just that the warehouse advertised it before he actually notified the rest of us. :) I think it's 5 cans of food or $5 for entry, fyi. I haven't decided whether I'm going or not, debating about that or the KU/NU game that night at 6. Potluck supper, bring a side to share with everyone. Should be fun.
 
think I'm going to try and make it. Not sure how many people are going to be there. Also going to be trading my Whitewater + cash for a Wheel of Fortune this weekend, good pinball weekend all around. :)
 
Unless something crazy comes up between now and tomorrow evening, I plan on being there. Looks like there will be quite a few games there. Should be fun.
 
Tournament was a lot of fun, had a great time. Wish Super Mario wouldn't have crapped out right away but oh well--looked like it had some sort of major intermittent switch matrix issue. I think my favorites were POTC and EATPM.
