## Transcript

Bat Stein put up a killer game on this on the last round of qualifying. Got into Pulp Fiction Frenzy. 1.3 million points if I remember correct. Yeah, it was awesome. And Jackie came afterwards. 1.307 or something like that. 7,000 point difference. It was crazy. Wow. This is a lot easier to see this screen than it was the laptop from that we just Yeah. Yeah. I mean, the thing is when I run multi-day tournaments, I cannot bring all the all the shenanigans, right? Because I usually don't even have commentators on on the one day ones, like the launch parties and stuff. All right. Huh? Oh, I am up on Iron Man. I will be right back. All right. Probably be real quick. I suck at this game. All right. So, we're on play two. Linda G needs to uh Yeah, basically put up a good ball. That's what we want to see. We have a pole fiction at Lun. Oh, center post vengeance. We have a pole fiction at Lon. So, Linda is definitely uh used to it. Let's see if we can get uh an idea of what players are going for here. Okay, so this is definitely a [] multiball kind of a shite. That was definitely savable in a way, you know? It's just that center pose. You just get so uh surprised when it's there, right? Oh, this ball fiction has a ball save. Wow, you can actually turn that on. I had no idea. Nice. Oh no, that's not coming back either. Yeah, thanks for the follows. Let's hit the 2,000. Yeah. Okay. Oh, so it's a very short ball save, I guess. Okay, so Jackie did the pick. Yeah, Stephanie and Jackie were uh tied points wise, but Stephanie had the higher tiebreaking point. So, but she didn't want to pick game. So, I don't know exactly how they kind of concluded the the games and the order to be honest. Oh, nice. Are we going for the briefcase there? No. Yeah. Oh, that came back. That came back. All right. So, Jackie must have already uh played out her ball save on her ball because that was definitely longer than what I saw. But I'm not paying attention all the time. Oh my god. Nice save there. Yeah, the game is definitely tickled now. So, I don't know if that was a double danger. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's just the angles on this game is just Got the post on each side now. Oh, nice save. Nice recovery. And there's the ball in the lock. Third time's a charm. Yeah, it's pretty even, Steven, in a way that nobody's really got anything out yet, right? A skill shot, a super skill shot would kind of get you ahead here. Oh, that didn't happen. Bonus points. Rubbish. All super. No. Yeah. If you hit the um the center s the top saucer when the arrow turns blue, you get 100k and you kind of like like that. But and you get the character in the um in the saucer there. But it's also like this the character will then block your roll scene, right? So, it's a little bit frustrating in a bit that it's just like I just want to roll my scene, right? Uh, and now I got a character lit there that doesn't really give me anything useful, right? I give it like if you get a good scene like you know the the spinner one was like the car wash or whatever is millions points, right? if you get a a few good rips in. So, what is a character worth? 30,000. Okay, so you got 6,000 there. Okay, there 30,000 if you cannot take it on the plunge, I guess. And now roll scene is lit. Oh, nice bounce pass. Yeah. So, this is ball three. So, she needs to kind of pull uh pull ahead here quite a lot. All right, we need that famous last shot. Oh my god. It's just like that ball is not going to settle. There we go. Pawn shop panic. So, I don't know the order of business here. I think just uh getting uh getting the stand uh the drops down again and kind of yank a few few balls in there, right? Okay. So, you kind of need to work on those. Oh, all right. Let's see the sad instant replay there. But, uh, we got some points on the board, which is good. Yeah, those are the disappointing drains, right? When you know like all you had to do there was not press the button, right? Not press the right flipper button. I know the pain. Okay. So, there's score to beat here. I think it's actually Oh, 377. Yeah, Linda is still sitting in second place with that score. So, and this is pinball. I think Christy got one log. Yeah, this is lock two. a miss. Yes. The whole game. Yeah, we're actually on ball three already. So, it's been quite mean to literally everybody. Uh Jackie is currently in the lead with 370. Um Oh, okay. Yeah. So, Jackie got her [] multiball or the shop pawn shop panic thing going right and did not quite catch in hugely there, but Oh, no. Not like this. Wait, when it's coming back? Oh. Oh, no. It's not coming back. Oh, the burger is like flashing. I wasn't Well, have we seen any backhands? So, the uh Oh, nasty. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, the drains have been absolutely horrible. like the game is just like not not having it, you know. Has Stephanie done multiball the pawn shop yet? Oh, super. Oh god, so close. Yeah, game has a super satisfying super when you hit it. Yeah. Yeah, the light show and the noise. It's good with that light shows and noise. Yeah. Very good game for that. Oh, that's a sneak. What? Oh, no. Not a lot cuz there's one drop up still. Okay, now locks are lit. Yeah. Oh god. Wow. It is That's the That's how double, right? She was on it just a minute ago, right? No. Yeah, I can't remember. Of course, this game gives out three tilt warnings from default, which I think is still set up that way. Oh, really? That's interesting. Oh, no. No. And the post. Ah, nasty. Uh, okay. Yeah. So, we got Jackie, Christy, Linda, Stephanie. All right. So, next game is King Kong. Stand by.
