right answer really well tell us about you prop up to it real quick you you come from the Pacific Northwest your Seattle area correct and so when you're out there playing you're out there playing with some of the best players in the world I play I play all over the place but we should like to give a special shout out right now to the babes in Finland tournament right now that's happening right now at a DePaul in Seattle Washington ladies I know there's a bunch of girls to watch these great finals absolutely Hannah thanks so much for joining us congratulations again and way to go yeah thanks everyone out there for watching if any of my family's still watching I love you bye sounds good we're gonna we're gonna go ahead now and bring it into champion ladies and gentlemen your 2018 World Women's Champion Miss Karen Keiser's tapping into the booth with us we're gonna go ahead and ask her a couple of questions first of all Karen listen congratulations way to go outstanding play today thank you so much I don't know about the West well you know what you made it this what this was twelve hours of play today I don't know how people do it I have not been I viewed I usually go out much earlier as you can imagine well so I don't know how people have the stamina to do this have you had to compete for twelve have you been in Bern no I mean Swedish I live in Sweden Swedish tournaments are really long right but yeah hey Leon I told ya we've talked about some of the format's out there but this was this was a real a real marathon we look at their remark Oh apart - you did not have a bye so you've been going at this all day six games against mica six games against Julie four against Tracy and then two straight seven games a lot of stress the semis and you just kept on grinding all day and play - unbelievably well I thank you so much I feel so good about I'm be more surprised because I thought there's a nonzero chance that I would fly all the way from Sweden and you know who's right when when did you start catching your groove today can you think back to like what you're playing on and what you're doing and you're like you know what I'm ready to tear some stuff up tonight I actually would give a lot of credit to Mika because she was the first person I was you know met in the bracket and she was so kind and just we just started out really well together encouraging each other and they took all my nerves away that's all certainly helped yeah that's a big win that field and I've mentioned this quite a few times that ladies field is ridiculously strong holy cow like the names on there it's it's a who's who and there's still a lot that aren't even here but you went in there you grind it out you played it a lot of tough matches and hey you won I guess so and man this is no my mom's gonna be really happy I should say hi to her if she's listening definitely do that how Game seven last ball for the nerves strong there or I didn't even know was because I thought it would really freak me out to have a number in my head you know it's actually Bruce Marc strategy that's not bad it's funny because we were sitting here watching you play and we knew we were widened your score we knew what she had she had twenty six point seven point seven seven right and we're waiting for you to get up within 500 because you had lit that's four of your five right yeah you could have done either the right side on the left side or the middle or either one on the right and you would get 500 you'd win so we're just sitting here like we're like why is she not looking up to see what it is and just letting it go down you're grinding you're going to and when it went down the hole it almost looked like you didn't realize you're gonna be getting that 500 cuz you kind of stopped no and then all of a sudden it laid in and it was enough to lid on the right as well correct right yep yeah I mean the last round I was just really nervous and depleted I'm sure you guys noticed and I thought I just need to not worry about having it be a competition and just play one game she chose you Royal Guard yeah we hadn't seen the game played all day I was so relieved that she not that she picked that game but that she picked the last game because I mean that's like the to me that's I understand why people want to pick the machine but I would almost rather order I'll take second all really sure but here when you have for EMS for solid states or you know modern games like I'm not gonna take second every time which I want a lot of tournaments because you know I don't want Queen flips I'm going to but the EMS here played great so yeah now we couldn't tell since you guys were out there but it seemed like you were always going first was that by choice at least until the very last game or that's just that's just to help me manage my freak out heinous I mean honestly because I I can deal with having a bad first ball and someone else having a great first ball but to wait and not watch somebody else have it employees like have a runaway ball and then have to step up that's a soul crush or something yeah my soul but that's my I think that's my my bit cuz I just get really really nervous so I'm I tell you what everything we saw you playing you were you were doing great today so listen congratulations outstanding job thank you so much for the next year you have the title if women's world pinball champion I need to go change my Twitter profile yeah you need to do that now but thank you for supporting women's Ben was really fun everybody out there absolutely care and congratulations again Thanks yeah alrighty great job congratulations miss Karen guys are in the booth with us as she had mentioned from Sweden obviously a country of amazing pinball players one of one of the best in the world so many friends from out there hey lianna moved from there to here formally Walters now Walters Hagen Doreen angle bricks in one of my favorite Swedes from their organ home match runs and so many great Swedish players so all right where are we sitting in the national championship race still waiting and Karl's up three two one still waiting for game choice here I'm much or what's going on in there when we find out we'll get it to you all right we're gonna find out where we're at and get you the info I do all right everyone folks out there Fred Richardson sitting in the booth by himself now I got a chance of peek at chat if anyway he's got any questions about today long day pinball quick game of pinball tomorrow we will be starting pin golf we've got to tee times 1 p.m. 6 p.m. for the pin master's championship I sure took a little break and he will be coming back what is our bracket say for the match going to sorcerer I dunno how to change okay Timmy Saxon coming in to the boat PD and ryx as well one of my self question why did you clear the booth Fred I assure you there was no bodily overs had there's a whole mass of bathroom breaks and stuff happening at the same time okay here we go it shows Carl with two wins I thought he had three okay nope so Carl's up to one in this match I thought it was 3-1 so I haven't updated that one but I sure chose sorcerer oh my goodness he sure did alright Tim Saxon joining me in the booth hello how are you sir I'm doing great good to have another human being here like yeah sure went ahead and just hit that ramp without any fear there's a sorcerer where the game where you hit the ramp and that's it we we went real deep into the rule set with that one earlier yeah in case you didn't join us you hit the ramp you hit it a second time you locked balls hit the ramp again during multiball get a 2 X 3 X 5 X play field and then when you're done hit the ramp again and good points that right I'll repeat and rinse go ahead and clear out your source or targets to light your spinners and things get truly out of hand look at a shore up their stage and his upper flipper like the Beast that he is and looks like his play field multiplier was at 3 so he had done that twice nice and now he wants to hit the ramp and notice how he went ahead and set himself up to hit that ramp shot and we may see him do that again here got the ball trapped on the right flipper it goes right for the ramp that he went right for the ramp and it starts all over again 2 balls in play so you got two times play field multiplier and they're trained cuz that's what it does a lot so he's gonna regroup rethink his strategy here and go ahead and go up that left ramp again so he's got a bunch of bonus does the bonus ever get really high this base sure does sure does your ABCD up top we'll give you bonus multipliers set that to X currently right now I think it's 10 20 30 40 50 nine total times 5 5 up that sound about right Karl about 250 in bonus give or take so nothing to sneeze at there on this game a lot of grinding he's in his third multiball already on this person oh yes like in over stage in his upper flipper look at that boom he's up to 3x now our two axes locked in he will be with two ball you automatically have 2x okay first time through 3x do it again get a five and he's out but still we haven't had a lot of people getting a million on this game he's almost there already well unfortunately in my match I saw that yes Preston in the match before me got two mil on its first ball so he did well and then played me and got a one six something I played the entire game didn't hit a left ramp so until I didn't do well so now yeah his total bonus sitting right now he's got a 3x multiplier on it sitting at 42 so you know there's some points yeah there's good points and that's what happens on here that ramp gets tight and that that rubber that sits on the right-hand side just gets wider and wider Oh as a tilt warning there there's a little danger what it sure doesn't want to do is leave that ball locked in there for Carl give him a little present cuz you can steal locks if you can hit that ramp alright rinse repeat here we go he's looked like he was going for his one missing source of her target there but we going up that ramp and getting his play field multiplier boost it up so he's kind of he's not actively aiming for things like his source for targets he's just kind of pushing the balls out of the way right yep yep get a shot at the ramp there we go look at that he just lit his spinners oh my gosh he'll is spinners my spelling sorcerer puts him up to 2,500 per spin we were talking about yep and he's also got his whole ball so that will carry over to next ball it's good another oh you missed the lane again definitely wanna go ahead and try and collect that seeing that scurrying over but he's gonna go for its ramp and start another two ball multiball Asher has got incredible control on that we've watched so many people today not being able to catch that ball on the left hand side he's got that little hop there yeah so he didn't want to trap the ball you just went on the fly yeah there it is boom this is his fifth multiball of this ball Thanks 1.4 but caliber of players between him and Carl this could be a multi-million point game all the way around for both players okay remember he had lit his both his spinners early on so they're hitting 250 currently double 5000 per spin he's gone now they're hitting for three times that so 7,500 a spin and he went for it there because he knew how much it was worth yeah that is a wide strategy one morning what's one more give me there it is Oh ash great job there and he's up to 4x oh he almost saved it though two more roll over so get him is uh max 5 X so 5 X 59 correct it's a just over a quarter of a million there it maxed his bonus there cuz it's doing a little dance yeah it's doing the dance he is maxed out his bonus there we go multi pot number six seven and Asher's going to work his spinners not a bad idea oh I think he flinched yeah looked up top for his rollover cuz he wanted to make that out but right back to the ramp max does bonus and so the scrolling drop targets on the top right do you know what they do sorry yeah got your 10 20 and 50 25 and 50 white green and red when you knock one of them down it locks that value in it will go on a short-timer clear on all three you will collect that value if not it will go ahead and reset and start moving again yeah tell me about that so Carl just plain how to get your whole bonus by collecting your demon and that was the three drop targets up top you spell sorcerer lights demon you have three you got your three drop targets go up there do exactly like you normally would he'll one you have to clear them all out and they'll give you a whole bonus if you don't do it in time and it resets your demon light goes out hold bonus hold everything your bonus and your ex look at that Cheshire's had so many multi balls we've lost count yeah he hasn't gotten his 5x yet it still needs L showed us almost everything there is on sorcery including sorcerer there see keep trying to hit on the fly it's got that little hop there there we go get a catch even when he when he has a chance to stop it it looks like he wants to hit it moving yeah only a fool player yeah yeah it kind of dribbles out of there it's tough to keep it up in that three bank of notice reacts hit more spinners can we see it the 5x play field oh he wants it it's better huge spear went back three more one more ash pass it over there we go back up boom rinse wash here we go Mike might see that 5x now there it is alright not too much more you can do in the game and once it gets that as it gives a very nice first ball there - great start bonus is held go ahead and get that max bonus and a bonus hold is gonna be a long burn down yeah you add a multitude of in Lane he was powershots in a couple times all right oh he actually got eight times bonus not five that's an eight yeah good gravy two four six eight well I'll tell you what any man can catch them it's this guy right here the submarine playing player - oh my gosh that face says it all we've all been there just a quick reminder we're playing players one in three we punch up all four so there are no tilt throughs and Carl was playing the player too which is the drone that you just let go now unfortunately it all had a great you had a great start to his player - that didn't count he had a ball locked as a gift waiting for them and they'll take care of it so all right back at it Esther's letting player four do it correctly yeah both Carl and Escher are using older photos on their domains pictures they're out of here I think Escher's about eight in that picture - love it well I know we took pictures beforehand and then it looked like none of them know we lost them all and ashes right into multiball there we go yeah for some reason that kick-out just kind of dribbles right there and doesn't give you a real clean feed but there you go a little challenge yeah pretty much puts the balls right in the lower play field to start yeah oh look at this one then okay nine multi Bolzano 5x yet fresher I mean he's not doing poorly you've got nine multi balls but you could tell he's still disappointed it's some way that he can't get the absolute maximum the game will allow all right Karl nice job left Graham oh wait a man what is that so as Mon as X isn't held but his bonus is so it's two four six eight so he's got to do his roll over his up top again yep well the only thing that he needs to do on this is go ahead and get that Oh target up on his spots light of his spinner but he's going to of course try and max out that play field multiplier of 5x can he do it he did it that was so his spinners are now lit which is kind of his go-to strategy here so he's gonna start all over again try and do that - ball multiball get his play field multiplier up and has many spinners as possible that's close yeah nice little drop catch there like I said you know after nine 10 multi balls all of a sudden that that left rubber to the right of that ramp stars kidding thicker and thicker it's a nice return even if you miss it though seems to comes over very often yeah it's not too bad unless you completely clunk it gonna come to a - so Karl stepping into ball 2 here knows what he's dealing with that's the high score I've seen on the game so far this yeah today that'd be a good pump into a qualifying score are all pin golf scores based on the scores people are getting today okay so Asher's ruining a pin goal for the rest of us I think sash well we'll see if sorceror ends up in the final nine for tomorrow all right Carlos going into multiball here's this chance all in this one two ball multiball so he's keeping the balls up as I say that they both leave immediately I'll just tell you it's tough to get a handle on this flippers sit a little flat and it's over mmm I was gonna let that one hit the ball actually but now okay there we go sorry ex play field they'll do it one more time for the five he's trying to get a catch on that ball I think up top surprised he didn't hit that five when he had that single ball down there but there we go here's the 5x all right now he's going to want to have his spinners letters lit and he needs two more shots on sorcerer there's one and then the e that is a way to get back into this game go up that sling and oh so close see if they are there's the e got it now he just wants a couple nice cracks there's boom he's up to a million Wow yep and he's only played one multi polyesters 11 see how he's trying to get that hold up top so he can just work those spinners all right it's gonna go left or right there we go send it up top get your roll over get your multipliers no in a familiar place of the two of them sitting there on his right flipper here we go little bit two in a row quick one no no pot shot at the left spinning back to the ramp sure and that's what you gotta do I mean you get three of those he's right back in the game right ain't got one so he needs two more so whoever in the chat said he should give up now no he's yeah that's my third all right fired shots fired thank Ranger rejoining us Minnesota state champion yeah in the both Tim Saxon Tim what does they did you win one etiquette Connecticut okay at the sanctum nice which I've never been to Fred Richardson I highly recommend the 24-hour battle alright Karl's going into another one his spinners are already lit he's gonna have to realize play field multiplier but you know what crack those spinners if you can oh man I thought he had it see he's waiting when he did last fall yeah take it when the shots clean man it's it's up there in that lock for a little bit that's time too right it doesn't rip you off if you hit two balls up there you get 5x there it is okay with the spinner still let left one or come down coming down hit the ramp again well it stalls take straight takes the ball out of play for a while there we go that's a nice shot on there that's just sigh it's a nice time killer hitting it up in that ramp mm-hmm also hitting it up top to the rollovers to but then you can get some sloppy stuff coming out from from there yeah so both of these players have destroyed the ping golf scores for tomorrow already but it's good the best game of sorts where I've ever seen sir-sir a goal seven million and a little bit of bonus at 2 X on 52 so he'll get another hundred thousand finishing him up right about 3 1 I sure trying to give Carl a little bit of grief get inside his head because as you're strong in the mental game I sure claiming quantity of multi balls over quality as the way to win that is coming up in the Colorado group of great pinball players where we all give each other a lot of poop none more than maybe his coach and father who passed on his spot say it get here today yeah that's true Adam won the Colorado state choosing to have a shirt come down represent the left off family so I know how that feels being a dad I would do that anything for my daughter all right so it's just gonna finish up this game sitting just over four-and-a-half million points a great score not Insur passable Carla's not gonna play player 2 what you have to say I'm sure you'd like to have that ball one back but and well is often a one ball game I sure blew up ball one Carl was hoping for just a nice solid ball three this would give Carl to match if he would yeah it's three so three two one it was teed up nicely for him it was nice oh I keep moving in the booth here I want to shake the game as he's doing it all Carl as long as mine is that left no post transfer nice good catch catch there's one since this is all three Carl will have two Wow Wow so I'm guessing Carl must have carried his bonus over cuz he's maxed out bonus ok so he must have carried it over from ball to must have got his diamond Carl likes to keep it up top there and try and work some of them drop targets he does not have a spinner lit no he needs a lot more target still he's gonna work it doing a little modify it up and over there look like nice 3x got his rollovers got bonus 2x hit on the fly no nice good control so if he can get his 5x here is he just gonna start taking shots at the sorcerer targets or is he gonna go for something that's more guaranteed points well we saw in his previous ball that even after he had a 5x play field multiplier he kept shooting the ramp great so you know sometimes you don't go for it you try and let them happen as those sorts of our targets are want to do there we go 5x X means 1 2 3 4 he needs the top for the o RC e in sorcerer so he post past just to use that upper flipper that was a that's a smart thinking I think I heard a danger warning there left cleared out 2 or 3 of oving that one shot very nice there we go gave that a little extra slap together otherwise it would gone underneath that flipper there we go he did it alright it could be like two two hits yeah in this multiball and he's not hitting the left one okay no he's just gonna work this out it's got his demon lit he can oh no he's gonna miss it and the lights gonna go out nice alright so he's not able to get his bonus holdover which honestly would be a pretty good thing where he's sitting yeah you get a double bonus collect yes okay yeah be really nice oh man he's not getting that spinner to spin why are you not in that yeah that's our you know left oh my god the things Jan you spins it he's got him in bonus right now so I mean it's right there at it it's awfully damn close but we're not gonna let the balls drain just yet all right one shot on that right spinner and there it is Oh Carl moves on to the final play Raymond Davidson and usher will head to the third-place match against Colin MacAlpine that is the bad bad beat Wow well deserved we want to go back and chat and see who said to quit now of course we don't want to point fingers I know who it was I'm not saying we're not the government we don't care about finding blame all right we're gonna come down to the last two matches here folks this is going to give you your national champion Oh [Music] so apparently they already set the scores that's good to hear okay I can't I just can say I can't see source for actually even being in I mean what else are you gonna do other than this guy yeah how did I become $100 richer I'd like to know so hopefully I could get this streamed act thing to work I tried to bring up the Nationals bracket but I can't get to the right side where everything is now that's not connected yeah but I can go to games and then see some nice light shows on games I don't know they were over by expen so Carl G Python Anghelo defeats uh she left off we have Raymond Davidson and Carl D'Python Anghelo your national final I'm sorry that's urine Colin MacAlpine for third place right for know Raymond and Carl yeah yeah right Raymond will be top seed so I should probably put black rose on yeah so we're going to follow yeah they've been doing different things from what I think they're supposed to do where's that where's the air horn button oh it's in German Karl yeah actually yeah that air horn is in Jamaica I mean there's like 15 windows open in this booth you need one thats a sound effects you know laugh track I got jokes so I think we're playing I think Karl played ball one already oh wow yeah that's a game I thought that was our warm-up now that was song select ball two looks like just one score there though does but yeah we can't really see this course - I do think that was their warmup I really do ray was that your warmup apparently that was not his warmup okay so Carl's on the left cuz he's first here on Game one of the finals best of seven starting with Metallica the terrain monster Wow we've got code tournament director Zachary Sharpe holding down the fort with his notepad and then ready to make a ruling at a moment's notice so does not look like Rey is going to bash his Sparky instead he is going to build up his shots and go ahead and she and Tim sex and why would shooting his Pistons be an advantage or what as part of his strategy why is he doing that well the Pistons the more you shoot him the more they're worth and I guess does anything at pinball but the Pistons are grow to like 1 million just keep and it's just that right ramp and then into the piston it ends the combo gives them 750,000 there well doesn't it also give a two times play field yeah yes it does and I know it does during multiball got it complete a funny lit to x-play field there with the mystery award so next time he hits that piston will start 2x for 30 seconds and he'll be indicated by the arrow on the left the piston arrow yes the red piston arrow so if he hits it here you start a field two and a half million for that shot he goes right back into it really hard to get a handle on definitely a very tight tilt kick out of the snake not too bad there he's also pretty close to megatons yeah yeah it is he likes that he started Lady Justice on top of these piston combos so the ramps are giving him more points that way to make it up slid pass it over boom let's be any Scot crank it up lit I saw a blue light got his 2.5 millon is extra ball as well he picks for whom the bell tolls and shots he's not even waiting for anything just boom get it start go get a very short ball timer here once that light goes off no matter how close it was that left out late you don't get it back that's exactly what just happened in a piston so far over to the left that you know that's so out Lane out there and sometimes it just doesn't feed right and goes into the outline we're gonna get a score update for you see where Carl's got less than a million Raymond finished up with yeah it look like a 31 or something working the piston strategy Carl's opting to go for his grave marker multiball it's easier on this game it actually is it's like you hit it three times nice little nudge no dangers you never lose your progress on grave marker right Yeah right you yeah whereas if you're out on the street and you only had one shot left to start it that's - its I mean what else you have to lose it's ball three now people are wondering why the drop targets were disabled I believe it was because the front one kept dropping first one's broken we need more tape so just turn them off at software and you get a whole new game so what Carl's gonna have here is a two ball multiball hopefully I'll get that one back then he gets a third ball in play 2x going tonight working on fuel - I was gonna say it looks like he's filling up his fuel so he can get a little he'll hopefully get both those back there's one all right he's got two ball do not up and over and embed and he doesn't want to shake it cuz he's already got too dangerous no I was he gonna backhand that grave yep sure is so right back for it well no yeah he's he's got all these extra chair shots and that's it he's gotta crank it up with so he picked fade to black last ball right so you can't pick that again all right now that was last game this game yeah yuck so ray takes this one 100 aimin and Carl will choose a game let's see what heats gonna is he really gonna pick sorcerer he sure is he sure is we gonna have a little third place no we're going right to sorcerer and see if they take their warm-up yes no or are they just gonna play Raymond might want a little warmup I don't think Carl needs any just wants to keep it real with the hot heavy pinball action sure he's pretty pretty dialed in on those shots he likes the left ramp I'm still trying to figure out how to start the three ball instead of the two ball you keep working on that back to us yeah and here we go we're off to the races Carl's first multiball you got it a ball one this time so I think we're looking at eight million at least obviously feeling pretty comfortable on this game playing well for them and whoa take that you know cause like maybe I'll do like six mill ball one this time that big fat yellow rubber just to the right of that shot oh what a save how did that come back beautiful oh wow just found out that assuring Colin there they're gonna play a two out of three match for a third and fourth place looks like Asher chose the abracadabra and put up seventy thousand points so one of the higher score is a very solid solid start and Carlos backings to wall gets the control he wants on the bottom right flipper still baffles me why he doesn't shoot shot but Carl's playing and I'm in the booth so yeah no ice oh he's getting some good saves on that left side he is whether intentionally or not working some sorcerer targets there and back to the yellow post you know what though I mean to keep your focus playing 12 plus hours waiting a lot I mean and and mind you Carl set up you know he's set up almost here this entire thing and you can see we've got more technology in this booth and I've probably had in my lifetime yeah I I honestly was sort of looking forward to playing them thinking that he might be a little tired today but two things happened I didn't play him and Carl is still just winning Carl told me he's so sick of setting up his equipment that he's forced to win tournaments or else he has to come back here and manage all his a stream stuff after the first round has to come back after he got his bye and so still has not spelled sorcerer he's got three X play field some weird little funky thing that he does here the little hop and that there it is five okay gonna go for source work no he's gonna wait for that ball to kick out because he gets the upper left flipper to hit one drop target one letter left saw that too yeah coasted well he should go bowling ball straight up I want him to put his initials on okay he may fall trying to break it off you smash the post notice how he hit that ball much later than he had been hitting and went up there quite easily so that's how you do it look at that Oh dangerous but beautiful all right left right see it three X and then he holds it here and he just uses the upper flipper he has the shot for 5x but he doesn't care spinners on it I feel like he's you know he's keeping his staged on that right flipper so he can just if he drains out doesn't it well it's added that upper play field yeah and then he goes he lost the post shot he's gotta find it again okay looks like he lit his demon after spelling sorcerer and did not collect so he does not have his bonus hold going into next ball yet you can spell sorcerer again and relight your demon so your demon do you know what that is well we've all got our demons well yeah Ramon's cheating okay I think Carl's gonna go for that ramp go to three x-rays pass those pants hold it over to the right yes not complete a drop target Bank trap on the Left shut the ramp and then lose a ball and don't go for your spinner until it's five acts oh he's gotta get that post shot back nice he was almost forced to take his finish though okay post clean clean post that wasn't clean post shot that's post lock lock I'm tired so got a little 4x times fifty so about two hundred thousand added for his bonus will not be carried over next ball very solid very solid first of all very solid first ball Raymond will plunge player to hear that score would have won many a game this today yes in nationals interesting that it's two West Coast players in the finals here the only people awake there used to play especially Raymond who lives in Seattle where no tournament is over until 2:00 a.m. people getting up in the morning New York on oh look I can watch the finals the Europeans are watching on their lunch break yeah might have been a danger warning there we got the full light flash first Locker Raymond well and again remember how efficient Carl was his match auntie shura sure had 37 multi balls right and Carl at 3 so and each multiball you got more points than he has right now for action yes well you know why not you hit those 50s 150,000 to there so see the curve on the source or spot targets errors you can you can touch the screen to drive on it I just don't know if you know how to erase it I can escape yeah okay so as you got that down now what we're saying is that ball coming out of the left side hits that curve of the sorcerer targets right here and a lot of times it'll hit and just get all wonky on you or straighten up come down like that so all right Carl's on ball two that's more like what I was doing when I played was just not being able to oh I love those okay Dave good slap saved their post transfer and start multiball what I'm wondering is Howard Josh and Zack got a handicap this game even more for tomorrow we're not playing it tomorrow there's no way to play this in pin golf I mean woody gotta collect a demon you got to get a 5x play field I mean what are you what are you gonna put four targets you know Oh like your spinner does he have any targets left yet he has all of his targets left yeah except for the left spitter not coming from yet and I mean even though Carl's player one he's going to try and flip this thing because he knows he's playing Raymond who can come back and right take that score so nothing's nothing's out of reach all right so an update from Esther's dad it's 1-1 in their match okay so that means one match left they're both over 4,000 a real guard that's stupid those scores are stupid they really it's not real look at that curve help alright let's watch Carl's strange little cradle separation he does here so I think he tries to put the top up the in lane and then he does about right yeah yeah and he hits that it's it's like a up and over but it's like into the in lane and back into the end lane control and this is really impressive you know of course as I say that but Ben Granger boy 1 from Minnesota it's it's a pleasure to watch it's something to shoot for I think you know almost most players that myself kind of mid to higher level can agree that's that's how you want to play yeah I like that he's inventing new types of cradle separations yeah I'm writing that I haven't seen before so I could copy him in the next time I play sorcerer like it Ping golf tomorrow when the goal is three and a half million five balls so Raymond I'm ball to here stepping in with 190,000 strategy going for the left ramp but he's busy trying to do the Fred flail right there there it is that was it the Fred funk you flail tilts it out the out Lane thank you same all right Karl's going into ball three last ball this game starting with 1.8 mill no balls are sitting for him so he will have to shoot to lock do oh alright the door is open so is there one bond the lock no there's no you keep on knockin but you can't come in you know a lot of people call this a lock stealing game but it's just to ramp shots like come on yeah right if you can hit it once you can hit it twice definitely in vogue with TNA total nuclear annihilation coming in with the old ball lock Steel's making that a lot of fun favor from many players right now oh and I think that was the whole spot target thing that I do out there okay one one I could see it on your screen oh here it is we're at 1:1 and we're going to a game of rays choosing let's see if we can catch game 3 of wherever Asher and Colin are at getting a lot of italica again black rose I go back we don't want to do that we've been there's your commentators oh nice catch so it looked like if I'm not mistaken it looked like Colin and Escher were playing royal guard yeah how excited is that Adam left cops said they were both over 4k which yeah Oh Danger Danger Will Robinson welcome to the Rose hey being a pirate is this dangerous business you know you know it's not like it needs to be it's just it isn't I know piracy has really become because he's got a million he yeah there this wasn't able to see zing-zing he's ready to sink a ship already outstanding for all those whirlpool ramps turning to ball you ever sunk my battleship no he's gonna use the center button I did it sticky I didn't land it there we go rattles in drops that's so there's pretty much two things to do in this game light your sink ship and then sink the ship there you go in that order yeah actually and Ray's been crushing this game all day notice how you hold that right flipper up so you can get that good return oh I feel good about that sure why not back in the Whirlpool when the front isn't hitting good life catch there lock is lit pass it over and lock you can get into a rhythm on that I found okay to ball multiball pretty clean lane transfer and then kind of one timing off the tip of the right flipper right going for three balls locked very nice ladies down three ball multiple what happens here now both ramps are lit to put letters on sink trip all three Rams to be technical so surprise he's not what he might actually get that back because I don't think it hit wow wow that doesn't happen too often and still didn't hit the ramp but guess what he can go back up there next time and relock it okay bagged a single ball play back to single ball play so he's gonna hit his right ramp until he lights his lock through the end lanes correct then he's gonna lock the ball correct then he's gonna spell sink ship letters until this till he loses his multiball or get through sees that there's that funky groove Haman's got this thing he does where he's always right on the edge of the tip and then just somehow digs it like you notice that it's like and he never messes it up I will say once you fire that second ball if you do go all the way around the ramp there's so much flashing light going on it is really tough to go ahead and get a groove gone okay so it's a feature seizure mode it is seizure month okay so let's see if he can go ahead and get a lock go for another three ball multiball that one knocked its own self buddy as sink ships ready same ship is ready left ramp to feed lube Lippert almost right ramp to spell lock again and really I mean that's what the game has take what it has there's some modes but there are some months there's some video OOP I couldn't throw a knife to save my I think I had three misses did you escape the shark at least I sure did I liked that one I'm good at that one yeah and I actually did the swinging oh that was a good move right there because it was getting in that Ridge oh there you go when a hidden love it his lock but he wants to sink that ship the second ships 30 million correct do they ever stop growing no no just keep going they just keep growing man there we go Oh almost could feed it but the good news is next ball if he doesn't get in there he's able to plunge into there so all you can do is go ahead and start another two ball get some more ship letters yeah get P for a million oh very nice okay hold it careful Paul's gonna come out right back to the ramp yeah well it's it's kind of got a natural flow on that yeah it does come out quick but it's pretty manageable and you can hit that whirlpool on the fly there it is all right so he said he was just under 60 million oh man he didn't hit it oh he saved it swing from the riggings here we go yeah 500,000 for feeding video mode versus the 125 only thing I got for smashing it okay what now how about we try and lock it again there it is another shot at it I went to the flippers on the side and notice that the last minute ray goes back to he's hitting it up there too yeah well as we mentioned before it comes out real hot and does not want to stay in that hole I like to use the side flippers that top buttons a little sticky and yeah a couple times I hit it and didn't go down so ever the perfectionist Carl is going to make there we go no one can actually see a little bit make sure we can see this bomb he's about to drop it's about the overall product I'm just oh he went ahead and hit a skill-shot so we've been update from the third place match outstanding what do you got Colin Colin MacAlpine takes third place beat uh sure that sure takes the fourth place kind of scores did they have on that I'll wait for the update from Asher's dad well Asher's got to feel good about that fourth in the nation outstanding performance congratulations it's a Colin who took third we are watching Game three Game four they won one game three one one yeah people are wondering if the game is leading yes it leans in every direction and you can catch that groove and it will lean against the grain which is fun to watch I know to be honest though it's it's it's fine I don't think it's kind of left or right to battling and you've got more danger worrying about getting caught in that groove yeah absolutely crow needs one letter left to light his first sync ship hit just the right lamp it has to hit the lip ramp right in to ball multiball in to ball it's it's the one that's lit three balls are both even in two ball so on factory settings that's okay thank you for the clarification Raymond says turning three ball you're getting two letters alright now if he goes ahead and hits any of these shots he's gonna get his last letter for ship that's gonna give it back up the middle get that little that little hop right there this is really early in the flipper Belgian white I was talking about my heritage right there so Karl's gonna go ahead and light Locke even though he's got a ship because really you can keep stacking those letters all day long and the way this match is going it looks like you need to sink a few ships you're gonna want to sink you know three ships and that was amazing save yeah he's really a loose lips sink ships situation it's more of a cannonballs sink ships and that's been Granger in for comic relief in the booth here on your Minnesota laugh track I'm still looking for the soundtrack screen what does this button do is this the laugh Carla does not have a soundboard setup today this button Raymond's backup grooving to the pirate themed music of this game [Music] it's stuck 30 million is that's his second one that'll give him 30 million points don't sit back and watch the fireworks kids cuz that balls going to come right back at ya alright he's got lock lit mm-hmm but he now gets to listen to the best pirate music in the world yeah music changes congratulations whoops so ye be awarded two ball montijo simple football sorry what does rain want to do let's see well right ramp cradle separation think chef just work some slips he's just getting shipped letters baby yeah that works saying go Ram person go gasps three ball nice and he jumped the outlane switch again with this plunge now it goes around this time so he spelled sink ship again it's next one will be worth 40 million now the hope is you can get the balls cradled oh oh oh this could be ugly sees your multiball took over again watch see how many lights our flight year and you're looking right there right down the barrel of the gun the strobe gun all right - boom so you really only need it there we go take another one all today alright only 146 million not too shabby for ball two yeah all right Karl stepping up 11 million he's gonna go ahead and get to sink his first ship for I was gonna come right to left and groove saved him good save and a little bit of effort go ahead and lock that ball no he wants to ball ball he wants the stack letters all day long post transfer no yeah Raymond still got the majority of his points from multiball he got 50 million for sinking ships in another hundred million from multiball pretty much not too shabby so the game's balance because you can sink ships or you can get letters to sink ships yeah don't know why everyone complains about this game and turn I I watched the circuit finals circa twenty fifteen look at that that's a groove of the groove and that was a great match 3-ball why not well he needs letters you know he's got to hit a home run if he's gonna beat Raymond on this so since it's two million around I know it's two letters I don't know if it's two mill says to mill I hope it is hope it's not lying but it's at WPC you boys out here we go slow it down try and get some catch oh yeah if you can get that rhythm going alright right ramp for the rest of the day and here we go so even though he's down to two balls it's still 2 million a ramp well and it's two still two letters perfect two letters so he's got another set of sink ships so he's got at least two of them filled oh that was nice oh what a drop catch that wasn't pretty you know wipe away a little sweat it's like bad Zelda music or something the first one still a classic all right Oh groove me baby now he's gonna want to hit that left ramp set up his flipper to go into Davy Jones's Locker well I'm puts those lights coming at Joe's not so bad there's also modes in the middle that he won't play oh well a rough 50-million ball for Carl not a bad score all right ball three no beef it's not what's for dinner he's gone all right Davy Jones rattle around he likes the right to left though but there it is 40 mil and them's good points and he has a next one lit yeah he does yeah that's just sickness right there beautiful if you're not playing oh it's in 50 million if he hits it is gonna get groovy there Davy Jones get around nice you know if you missed the shot you lost the opportunity the game would be better I don't know I left a ship on the table I'm nine you definitely want to clear those out no doubt you do not want to hit it dead on I'm telling you one till morning just one packing loaded got a cab all right do not want to hit it dead on you definitely want to try and Carl can punches oh you still just twenty million chip he would for it right away trying to boy that load that cannonball it's so tight when you need to you know you need three years he's gonna try left to right oh can also make it into that shop I missing the Whirlpool okay we got it 20 million take it a third of the way there well I know he's got at least one more ship lit already sink so he'll be doing the same thing again here comes the ball keep that flipper up I wasn't shooting for it but you'll take it oh that is risky remember you already oh no that only showed one tilt warning I thought he had one previous maybe the game forgot it strange but it's possible flipper codes that give you a free jackpot yeah okay so he's gonna try and get that set up to that upper flipper oh not quite enough post transfer left ramp yeah okay what you're gonna do is you're gonna pick the next game mm-hmm move on and save some energy so ravenous - I'm gonna update the thing on the bottom Carla's a one win sure why your girlfriend's texting me but to the Nationals bracket and someone's gonna tell me what they pick Iron Man I'm going to hit that button I'm gonna wait till the check mark goes away I'm gonna go to games I'm gonna hit Iron Man and we're already in right I'm thinking about going and getting some rest get this over with there we go those are some nice ramp shots see we're not hitting that sweet earlier look at that sure too why not good stuff so this Carla guy he just goes for bogey right away or does he kind of try to stack you with the multiball I mean that's what I like to do I go after those ramps first ball the up and over yeah because it's it's one of your marks you know if you can come out of there's five million you feel pretty good first ball and definitely the way this thing is playing my goodness five mil winning a game but not with these two competitors now ray hit a ramp and an out Lane that's about it yeah one of lifetime stats against each other stop it really girls out of control oh it should I was one in 14 against Raymond now one in 15 there's 200 did it work cuz he didn't slide it halfway across the room come on Carl you know better than to nudge it he's gonna make a decision on that and says that was it tilt okay what's it yeah even anybody on here and the Olmec grays from Robert Englunds he probably just woke up happy to see the tournament still coming rubbers off yes rubbers are off off the flipper it's just plastic oh I thought he meant personally all right work some ramps 800,000 puts him well in the lead bogey starts and he goes for orbits I like how the the broadcast makes all those lights look like they're strobing and here comes the monger it's a do or die already so yeah he went ahead and lit his ramps and um wasn't able to hit any after that but three million bogey sitting over just over three Carl walks up with a 1.4 and he's on ball three yeah he's got six hits for multiball three Rams lucky seven technically to start it so yeah yikes trying to short plunge at down there is no ball saved so his Iron Man targets with the slingshots yeah I had nothing else going and those were lit and I went ahead and said okay I'll take 2x on but 2x times zero was zero oh just let that sit there and do a ball search get off that pop-up er no need and again this guy in there he's standing still you can draw some funny faces on him that would also happen to be the number one player in the world if I'm not mistaken so unless Raymond wins here I think he gets down to number two Raymond might take number one that might happen so in this multiball you do the same thing you did to light it which is hit the monger in the middle correct and then once that's there Carl's got two balls in the glare they are still there he just got two shots on the monger thank you magnets okay one more will end his super he better not be fish he's trying he's trying to do the same cradle separation he did on sorcerer they're back into the ramp Oh oh let's skip this switch checking to see if the glare affected that what wasn't rolling there jumped the switch was the ruling hate it better next time to balls leather Kempe Oh knocking he's at a time and now he's got 2x times going on but shiraito this can be lucrative string together a couple a couple demolition times there and he doesn't look happy nine hundred thousand a bonus six six oh that's for a no no we can't sit looks like right has to place oh yeah ray three hundred people in here and the watching audience and no one knows what the score is we sent out scouts six nine oh nine so I needs two hundred thousand pretty sure yeah it's important information happening here so two two two no three one Raven one again so Carl will choose again I will do this while I do the other stuff what game Carl all right abracadabra the Steve Miller favorite oh we are out by the airport okay I thought that might have been it yeah every 20 minutes I think the world is ending so looks like Ray's practice I was gonna say this is he's shoving the game for no reason abracadabra one of the only EMS here with full-length flippers hmm and they are grabby so grabby so I'll update it to say Carl's up first with one win and Raymond has three right is that right or doesn't even have two wins he went a black rose Ironman and Ray you've got three okay and some other game that I forget Tim struggles with memory retention sometimes after 14 hours of pinball yeah it goes I on the other hand simply don't pay attention so there's nothing to do with memory retention oh I saw that coming down the center isn't that how it goes you'll warm up and you're doing great you can't drain thankfully that did not drain so again in case you haven't seen this really two things you're doing on this game you're trying to clear out one two three four those times he was shooting for the four there what he's doing is trying to increase that bonus value up the center of the playfield that you see there every time you clear out one two three four it moves up a thousand and you can collect it on that center spot target the other thing you can do in this there we go very nice feed notice how it moved up to 2,000 to go ahead and go up and hit that center target and collect that also if you drain out either the two outlanes you will get that value as well the other thing you can do is clear out all ten drop targets there are two banks five each one on the left one on the right there we go there's his - oh it's a great save each time increasing that bonus up a thought boy that was going nowhere do not tilt because that will in your game this is ball 4 I believe sounds about right wow that's that's rough 5 yep 22,000 you went right in on the screen sir well cat I'm actually writing a read it better no all right swipe that no we forgot what it was 2200 I thought was 640 no that's what you wrote Oh 0 loser looked like a 6 all right that's the score ray has to beat to win the national championship currently he is also the reigning IFP a world champion world champion and Raymond's only been playing for a few short years and I write uh he's been competing to Lucifer Kayleigh four five six years at least but he's been playing pinball since his teens okay mid 20s now he's got plenty of time there we go a nice little walk over collecting a couple of those thousands on the Bob bumpers take advantage of that whenever you can the nice thing you can do is hit that one in for from those lower that'll come to the right oh I thought he would let it bounce over yes a couple thousands congratulations to Raymond Davidson the IFTA national champion Wow great match to winning good money or a stern he wants a stern I wonder if I have any cool we always feel great for someone there's Kevin another 1 million dollars but next year know Europe just joined us they're just waking up in Europe yeah it's set up on the bracket which needs to be updated and given to Raymond and we're gonna do the trophy presentation there's a Josh Sharpe Wow like you've never seen him before what's up fellas great tournament excellent job by you and Zachariah the last last US Nationals will ever have it's over it's the North American Championship right starting next year

Zach so nobody cares that's fine all right just make sure the clipboard safe good fourth place we're gonna do this fast fourth place Asher left off he's gone $700 plus whatever Collin gave him for

hand this to you as I grab stuff whoo third place trophy Collin Colin MacAlpine current pin burg champion and he beat me in pin burg so he sucks feel so bad Carl I know how it feels brother I do second place not winning again $2,000 and a trophy that he will probably burn on his way Carl D'Python Anghelo representing California I blame all the streaming he does for his poor play Wow all right freaking bone collector man good lord he's now become a stern distributor with all the games that he's winning taking home no money thank God but the national champion trophy a key to a brand new stern Pro of his choice probably depending on Zach's mood she wants to let him have that or not representing Washington or you to go down to Oregon Washington okay Burrell went down to Oregon that's another time Raymond Davidson that [Applause] pictures good picture somebody has of Raymond in the top three will Photoshop a picture of three-year-old Escher step stool oh yeah he's gonna sign the banner too we're sorry josh is shouting everyone he can't hear himself Raymond Davidson is a millennial and does not have a checking account therefore it's going on the Hall of Fame page so like make
