## Transcript

thank you for joining us here on this Saturday morning we have got four more tournaments to show you this is number three it is the Women's Championship and it's going to be pretty incredible pretty interesting because we're going to have a new winner this year last year's winner Carri Wing unfortunately couldn't make it so someone will be winning this wonderful trophy let's get to the playoff action hello good morning good afternoon and welcome to the women's finals here at indisk I'm here with Allison onal hello and uh it's me Beck from Hub Challenge and we are so excited to do some commentary on the women's finals it was such a battle yeah it is a very fun group of Gam games some interesting ones in there like Alice Cooper fun yes but yeah Alice Cooper is going to be the game that uh we're streaming or they're streaming on this morning so we can watch some of uh that fun action here um the top 16 from the women's uh bracket made it so we've got some amazing players here so the thing I love about this game is the slings that are up and then the little rollovers that are down below it definitely helps with I don't know slowing the game down a little bit because you can kind of trap up pretty easily and the outlanes aren't super hungry no so looks like in this group we've got Laura Rebecca Janelle and Emily oh very nice Emily's come the furthest out of this group of people which just fun seeing people travel from all over the world to come here oh wow yeah absolutely that's so cool this game's got three fun Spinners first of all yeah that is true I love ripping Spinners as I think most everyone does yeah and you know that here at indisk they're going to be super juicy yes so they're going to spin oh yes some other juicy Spinners in this Bank are prospector oh my gosh those are real all right looks like we are almost there getting closer so I know one strategy with this game is to lock in your upper left spinner with the drop targets at the top yeah so let's see if this works right here very nice these the drops you'll see that light going up the little football field light going up and down so you want to hit all those three drops when it's at its highest point and then you can just rip that spinner not a bad value to lock in yeah that's bad oh there it is look at her where's got this game plays super nice just flows really nice she's got that shot out in that was beautiful oo nice save yep and I think if I remember reading H correctly on this is that you want to have like a super Stellar for first ball cuz the the bonus I think holds I think your first ball is really important on this game let's say she's off to a pretty good start with her first ball yeah yeah that spinner is everything I think yesterday in qualifying if you were putting up over a mill you were in good shape yeah nice 517 yeah on ball one that's nice yeah let's see what Rebecca can do with this Rebecca's score on Stargazer last night for her second to last ticket was what put her over the edge to get into finals like that's what secured it um so I'm sure she's hopeful that she can do a similar thing now the delay looks to be there's maybe something going on with the game right next yeah there were some issues with it yesterday too it was off it was off the floor for a little while oh okay they had it pulled for I think about half of the qualifying oh jacket it's always the worst just to stand there and have to wait to go and you just kind of want to play yep better better to not be distracted while you're playing though for sure yeah got some pretty varied um ifpa rank GS also um we're seeing the highest ones now but uh previously it'll flip back to just whether ifpa ranks are and I think Emily's got the highest if I remember correct yeah nice they may almost be done with the prospector situation okay all right Becca's coming up she also matches the pinball machine really well yes that is very true she's wearing like all the colors I forget I know that obviously you need to get all the astrological symbols too but I can't remember what that does for you in the game nice save yeah I feel like it's just not something people would normally go for in yeah spinner is definitely definitely where it's at although it looks like all the way up at the top it does lock in a value for each one yeah yeah I think 5,000 is the the Top Value on did did she lock in a higher value on her oh it just reset yeah there we go yeah this is a unfortunately lower value for it but spinning again so she can get another shot at locking in that value at the so you have to get all all three down before it locks in what a save dang okay there it goes it's locked in now Midway again right this is Janelle from Phoenix her shirt is very sparkly I love it yeah I do love the Bellow and times nice she got her targets locked in her spin locked in medium value on that yes it's like an immediate thing you have to like lock it in and like rip that spinner pretty quick I keep switching so far Laura's been the only ones who really do it so yeah see how they continue here she's got that other spinner yeah she really does nice nudge there to keep it out of the outlanes and again yep the uh the Tilt is a little generous which I appreciated when I was playing it yesterday she's probably going to try to reset there she goes she reset the value so she can lock it into the Higher One got all of her astrological symbols so the amount for each Target just went up which is great she's getting good value off of that she is not one yeah and it's reasonably safe it feeds yeah even with a not overly solid hit it's it's pretty safe there's a good one that P bu is [Laughter] dangerous nice o what a good shot yeah she's keeping it going yeah she is this is a great first ball her high score she had recorded on this was 2.1 oh wow she's definitely on her way and it does look like she has the extra ball lit oh yeah and and you get to play extra balls on this so so that's that's great pretty huge do you know how she did that I didn't notice I've never actually paid attention to extra balls on this because I feel like they're usually off so I got one yesterday and I was like I have no idea how I did and and so it goes yeah rough extra Ball but I mean she's almost at her but all that bonus that she had locked in yeah yeah there it is dang still an okay ball with a house ball it really does hurt when it goes out those outlanes because they are so small comparatively to like the rest of the game yeah you're just kind of like how did you make it in into that little tiny yeah nice hit on that spinner decent value locked in for that spinner oh yeah I didn't even notice she locked it that uh lower left spinner seems to be the one people are dialing in a little better than the top one yeah I mean especially when it's when it's lit for 10x yeah real nice pretty good value right Emily's got a ton of bonus in there yeah so um as you can see there are four players they are playing three games total with with each other and what they're going to do is whoever wins this game 7 points is that is that what it is 7531 42 1 Z there we go thanks yeah okay sorry so four 2 one z y and so whoever wins this game gets the four second place two one zero then they play the next game same thing happens so then whoever has the top two highest point totals after the three games will move on to the next round so same thing is happening with the other three groups so it'll go it looks like what taxis being played is it Maiden no uh they are playing Diamond lady as well it looks like diamond lady taxi and then I think there's a group on the far end there I think they're playing Atlantis I think maiden's all the way on the side yeah so the bank of the women's games uh we have Diamond lady Elvis taxi um Alice Cooper and Stargazer prospector uh Atlantis the valley and Iron Maiden yeah so even if you lose the first game you can still make it through so it's all about that one ball right one ball one game can really set you apart dang I didn't even see Emily has over two two million already yeah that one look I missed [Laughter] that Laura's got her extra ball very nice very solid score the right spinner was lit for 10x for a second yeah already went absolutely she's doing her best to dial in those spinners I can just feel it yeah so those targets were lit up at the top special when lit so she did have a special lit on those uh upper targets there on the right I don't know what the point value isn't there but it was really good game Yeah by Laura let's see what Rebecca's going to do so in that spinner lip for like a second oh rough three so is anyone picking the games in this or is it all set like it do I do believe top seed gets to pick okay very cool this was Laura's pick she got that left spinner lit oh it's down as soon as I see it it's gone great save yeah nice pretty low value on the spinner but she did get some some good spins the other spinner is lit again so maybe she'll be able to oh all right Emily's goingon to take us home and there it is nice walk off for her must feel beautiful good that was a blast yeah I love that game so much fun game hard game hard game for [Laughter] sure it's just different control on that game because of how the flippers and the slings are set up yeah those games with so many games having inlanes it's really really weird when they don't sometimes absolutely absolutely I'm excited to see which game we're going to be uh seeing next I know unless somebody else picks uh Stargazer yeah we'll probably follow this group I assume so we also have Classics 2 uh cards being um played right now and open cards still going in behind us also still lots of things happening here indisk other than the women's championships yeah lots of qualifying today and high staks I think kids is later today too oh really nice I totally forgot about that it's pretty one track mind yesterday do better on diamond lady that was pretty much [Laughter] it you guys can see the uh lovely trophy we have for first place here um beautiful color love it and we will have like uh Jeff uh tulis was saying there will be a new winner this year yep yep so it's pretty exciting yeah you can kind of see behind us some of the other trophies similar looking Y and you can see the open qualifying behind us also got like a Revenge from Mars back there weird little game yeah I played it on Thursday just because I hadn't played it in so long I was like oh might as well yeah it's got lightning flippers yes yes it [Laughter] does I want to thank you all for watching uh today and and tuning in for the women's finals here in indisk uh we're so excited to be part of it and to see what all shakes out it's very exciting um andex has been a great event and if you've never been plan on it for next year I mean you can't really go wrong with California in January yeah it's a great little trip either way yeah it's been cooler and going to rain a lot today yes so today and tomorrow it's going to rain but we'll be inside yeah that's fine all right we're moving oh we're going to taxi all right let's see if we can get the other groups information to let you know what's going on there trying to pull it up I think I closed all my windows for this Carl's getting us set up over there so we should be nice taxi real all right so first group had played on at lanis uh Tracy get four points Lisa got two and then Carrie and then Ashley uh Diamond lady wasp two Anna won that so Four Points Monica second Jane miumi sorry that was pronounced WR y maybe and yeah the other group was playing taxi before and that went Leslie Kate Jazz and lean excellent getting ready to start same order oh okay very good think there's so many good players in this this group of 16 it's been incredible just to watch everyone play like outside of you putting in your cards like it's been exciting just to see how great I don't know people just like pull it out it's amazing yeah I feel like i' I've learned so much just from watching so many people play the past couple of days all right Laura's Back start up on Taxi saying hi to everybody y so I've heard two different strategies with the skill shot either just go for like the highest you can possibly get or try to get that 25,000 with the pickup already are you a fan of this game I like this game I I like this game when the ramps are hitable they are hitable they really are I had a blast uh hitting those ramps when I was qualifying hard time getting dra honestly but um but the ramps are definitely nice and they feed quick like you really have to be prepared that side not so much this one though who yeah exactly sorry to call that but um yeah that that is pretty fast after it did that to me the first time I was just like flip her up the whole time like that's that's what it's got to be so this game has a lot of multiball yes so pretty much you can see little lock light there so shooting ball in there lock it and then you get to hit [Music] ramp and then you got your two ball for as long as you can keep going and each pickup gives you a higher bonus at the end of your ball so you really do want to get as many of the passengers as possible yeah your bonus can be what up to 100 and then you've got multipliers I think also not getting it all the way up that ramp is real dangerous like real dangerous nice nudge as you all can see it is a quick game the ball is just flying around it it's very very quick and see the passenger pickups there's always they're not all lit at the same time so there's always two probably lit so we got gorby and pinbot pin bots in this little set of whoa that was a beautiful thing so yeah pin Bots some drops stand ups over to the side oh so close on nudge that was real good see I'm telling you it's so fast and it hurts too cuz it's like oh it's just a feet off a ramp and then you're like it's gone I don't think I've ever seen a taxi no go that fast yep it's rough see see Emily knows what she's doing put that flipper up yeah my strategy was just to 75k as much as possible when I was playing it yesterday I didn't have time to find the the pool for the 25 y so close yeah you can see she's got a shot lit to start multiball Yep they're all pretty evenly matched here all right right around two a little more a little less this uh looks pretty standard from what qualifying was yesterday like pretty low scores honestly overall it's just it's hard to get a hold of [Music] 50 uhoh something's going on there there we go all right she's going to try to release lock yeah and she got it held up The Flipper she Le oh she lost one already though [Music] dang she knows what happened now she's got dra and gorby lit you guys can see dra's all the way on the left a little scoop and then Gorby's up next to the right ramp I like her style y I feel it in my soul so what is the target that's like way up there what that one is it's not the jackpot one cuz I know that's next that's Santa Claus right yeah I'm sure chat's probably telling us we just can't see it save she's got pinbot and gorby uh see she learned yep yay she got the shot she is excited and she gets another Ste shot so that's always helpful those points are points they are very important think I read in the rules too um which extra balls are not available on this table but um if you get the cab targets three times it would award an extra ball if they were on there could be points there too if you got the lanes all horrible the coffee is hitting backs yeah she is probably telling Janelle to take my M ball that's that's exactly what she just said I'm sure she like I set you up so nicely I do love hate a good game where you can steal multiballs yeah I do I have a lot of experience with it me being the one to set people up and then they take my multi save guys can see the just like flies all over the place on this game it just it's so quick you really need to get some control all right there we go nice there it is oh see I think we need a shirt that's like I Sur I survived the left ramp on Taxi at the women's finals I know nice you got it that time it's evil those ramps do feel so good though yeah a nice nice floaty ramp is everyone still pretty pretty close maxa's got a little bit of a lead on the on hers em still on ball two here she's got what she's got an air is that an um what's on the right oh it's not flashing anymore now it's on the left airport ride yeah right y o targets are Bad News Bears yeah top qualifying score on this game was 4 million yesterday so all right pretty high but you do have more than one chance yep so everybody still pretty all close together so yep it's anyone's game just got to pick up gorby she get pinbot just going to try to start this multi balls survive that [Laughter] absolutely I think she might be trying to get gorby first or at least she [Music] was y nice it's pretty clean Passover yeah it was there it is all right beautiful so now she's going to want to get the one shot and then the two shot to then light the jackpot nice can hear the Elvis music in the [Laughter] background now she's got dra and gorbet she did pick up pinbot there it is nice you can hear Rebecca in the background saying you got [Laughter] multiball now Beck's got to set herself up and cash out on that multiball during this gorby oh man rough feed and Emily are still Within Reach here like that's a decent amount of points but doable totally doable in one ball does seem like the max spin you can get on this game right now is 50,000 oh yeah doesn't seem like it's going up any any higher than that so I definitely had mostly 50s but I did get up into this get up to 75 nice is that a six there's a little bit of a glare 68 I think it's a yep would your strategy be to get back into multiball here yeah yeah that pretty much the whole thing yeah I mean it's safer you got two balls in play if she can't get that jackpot lit if she gets in the multiball I mean it's 1.5 mil it's a good amount of points yeah oh so close there it is loveing that is she said she has to shoot the Right Scoop the left scoop and then the jackpot lit yep trying to get control yep she's got two pickups that'll be some decent bonus she's like give me control I just need to make that right scoop shot was yeah I was going to say she can just walk off nice all right great second round yep Allison's checking on the other rounds right now so we'll give you an update there yeah so it looks like group two is done on their second game which is Alanis so Monica got first on that one uh Anna got second Momi and then Jane so that group is 6611 oh wow a pretty big spread there yeah which I do think with three games it's pretty much set with Monica and Anna moving on yeah there's no way Four Points would give the others yeah that's true so still got to play for position so right always important uh the other groups are not done yet so we don't know what's happening there so we're playing uh Elvis and prospector it looks like for the other two groups at the moment y I really enjoyed playing prospector yesterday but Elvis was not my favorite yeah weird little shots uh and obviously it's set mean so there's just like no no give yeah oh and guess what we're playing we're following to Elvis this time so I think we're just going to Jailhouse Rock all the time yeah I think so that seems to be uh the easiest thing to get going on that game I mean the games are quick yeah and I just I completely forgot about the upper play field altogether like every time I made the shot up there it just came right back down I was like oh I did it again Al so we're not following the group or are we just uh finishing out this round I think I think we're going to yeah finish out this round s and watch group four excellent got Leslie up player three on ball three all right and Kate made some it's a good score on that you can see the little lock shot there very important you can get it either straight in there or you can actually Bobble it in from in the pops up here and will sit in there it will not launch multiball coming from the back though okay I was so hopeful for that when I was qualifying and it just kept being like nope got to go in from from the uh from the other way she needs to be hitting the king targets up in the middle one See it'll it'll like um qualify the lock from behind but yeah you can't start we got lean coming up for player four ball three on the second round here the women's quarterfinals she's already got her lockl so that's nice let's see if she tries the back hand in there going up top great nice do you know much about how to qualify that one the Heartbreak Hotel multi bomb not so much I do believe it's all up top that makesense which I pretty sure she needs to get up top and get it in there she was up there like the the Ramset that's a monster score that keep put up yeah would have been a fun one to see yeah absolutely love that magnet on the loop there very reminiscent of roller games oh wow what a save oh dang whoa I think she was even like oh wow I got [Laughter] it excellent well Kate took first on that one and I missed the rest of it but monster score for Kate that was amazing so we're going into our third round the women's quarterfinals or third third game I guess there we go excellent not sure what we're moving to next no we do have the rest of the other scores at least um so group one Ashley one prospector uh Alisa had second Tracy third Carrie fourth that group is 4514 so they're all pretty pretty even the three of them four Tracy five Carrie one Alisa four so yeah pretty close yeah the uh group three played star G Laura got we're moving to Atlantis yeah yeah yeah group two play play lanis uh let's see yeah Monica won that one we went through that one already so I guess yeah just the Elvis one which was Kate Leslie Leanne Jess and that that group is also 1166 so okay so you've got two groups that are kind of already yeah already set a bit so Kate and Leslie will move on from that group excellent and where we at with um the group that we've been following with um so that one was 6611 6611 also no uh okay so yeah Emily's got eight Laura's got four Rebecca's got two now still zero so Rebecca and who's the other person um Emily Emily's in Emily's in and then yeah Laura or Lauren Laura got four Rebecca's got two so they could if Rebecca came back and got first she could she could it would end up with a tie if Laura got third right or no it's one zero we could end up with a three-way if Janelle gets first she gets four points Laura gets last she gets zero Rebecca gets second she'd have two which is four so we yeah there is anybody it could be interesting yeah everybody loves tiebreakers I know it's very exciting so I only played I think I only played Atlantis twice yesterday uh mostly because I was afraid of it uh because I had never even seen it before um but it's a Valley from the late is it late 80s early 90s somewhere in there looks like it yeah so it definitely looks like it there is a date on there but it's not legible it looks like like I mean it's from the same ER as like mousing around and radical and those those types so probably late 80s looks like Emily's going first to just take herself out of the situation nice since she's already through so I if I remember on this game it like when you go to launch the ball it's like go to level one and then once you secure that in then it'll switch all the targets to twos and then when you get that then it switches all the targets or the drops right on the the three Banks there it'll switch it to three yeah there's this one this one and this one that you can't really see you can see the one two three you to lock balls is underneath here yep and then there's a million uh a million insert right up the center where it looks like the bonus um multipliers might be y so each of the as we were saying the corresponding one will light this one for the lock so yeah you got to go through got to go through all that to start the multi that saucer up top is hard to get it to stick in there it really she got the spinner lit for oh out the out lane that quick spinner was lit though I saw it I don't know what she did but it was there Here Comes Rebecca and like we were saying with Laura Rebecca and Janelle it's it could be anyone's game here to lock in that second uh to move on Dell's got to play her best yeah we've got no one that's got the level one yet all still working on that oh my goodness that's three of the four right that went out the right out [Laughter] yeah and you guys can see the jackpot is also fixed on this game at 1.5 million so no Progressive jackpots or anything like that so it's all fair yeah same thing as taxi was set too I'm not really good with um the designers and things like that or the artists but this definitely gives me fishtail Vibes yeah for sure I mean other than it being um a c game there's just some things on the Playfield like little lock ball um rectangle that's over by the left ramp there just reminds me of some text on Fish Tales so I do to look up and see if it's the same so I know this is valet and that was Williams I get it but yeah still although if Emily gets first on this and that knocks Janelle completely out right cuz she's got to get four yeah she yeah Janelle has to get she has to get first it's a fun little shot I don't think I shot that shot the whole time I was qualifying didn't even realize it was there spinner she's got the top and the left ones well end there so Laur needs the top one and the right one to lock in level one got the left one over there good plunge she's got the right one oh now she's on to level two yep she's got lock lit b get out of that out [Laughter] lane nice split spinner A th a spin he good nice yeah still got Ball three yeah ball three could be it for any of them I mean literally if one person got one jackpot that would set them completely apart from the rest all right final game final ball anyone's match I'm sure Emily feels good right now you can just kind of like play for fun yeah there's nothing riding on this for her just getting a little bit of extra practice here another option for this game game if you don't want to hit the one 123s you can just complete these two lanes which then increases the uh the scoring of that hole you can just kind of hit under the ramp try to hit the saucer nice that's not bad a little bit safer than kind of it's a nice she had spinner starting to go out she's got this there it is yep you can see she the value of there that's also what's fun about watching um you know this competition it's kind of like how players want to play the game because there are different ways to get different amounts of points and it's fun that it's not the same for everyone now she's one away from lighting the twos she's got her lock ready for one if she can pull this out and get first she'll be tied with Emily so that would knock Rebecca and Janelle out if she did uh secure got two ones now she just needs the one on the left there it is she got oh what a bad bounce felt that all right so that it's all up to Janelle here yeah all up to her though I do think at this point no matter what it is Emily and Laura because we needed Rebecca to be above yeah Laura in order for the placement but still for position that's it yeah yeah exciting finished up round one of or this group for quarterfinals got Emily and Laura yeah yeah see where things are at pretty exciting so we've got games still happening on taxi and on Elvis and is that it can't see anyone else lined up anywhere we might have already finished the round for a different group Iron Maiden is the other game that is actively being played yep it's like way over in the corner there it's hard to see we'll see what we're going to move to I think oh yeah I don't know where we're moving at that was super exciting yeah lots of fun some fun games you don't see all the time Atlanta is definitely one that's yeah I don't see often honestly I feel like the whole Bank was pretty other than Iron Maiden everyone SE me in um and taxi taxi is pretty pretty common but I don't know I think the bank was pretty um interesting and not easy yeah definitely took some time to like figure things out and get set on those games yeah I do like that about this tournament as it's not all very common games there's a lot of different ones you have to learn the rules to all these different games you don't see very often makes it fun yeah the amount of times that I spent on pin tips and looking up rules and watching uh tutorials because I mean some of these games I had never seen before so um yeah there's definitely time strategy energy put into um you know before you're even playing the games and then putting in all those cards all right we got lean Leslie's got quite a lead points look like lean's going for Trooper multiball it's a very good strategy getting that second lock Yep this game played very fair during qualifying it's a it's a nice playing Iron Maiden premium I'm so used to playing on a pro though the sarcophagus lock definitely there me for a little bit of a loop do you have a favorite song that you put on when you play this game I really like doing uh can I play with M me too that's my favorite one if I don't play with can I play with Madness then I'm off like I can't yeah I've got to hear it while I'm playing this game oh she got her ball three let's go multiball time he got a power [Music] jackpot this is a pretty standard multiball that you just want to hit all the shots yep all the flashing Blues they will change colors once you've gone through the first level of jackpot is in 2x Playfield that's here not a very long multiball but no still got twox going yep getting ready to go into a mod she's got mummy flashing like crazy there it is there it is it's my style of game multiball after multiball let's go what's your favorite shot on this game Allison I really like I guess this spinner shot yeah it's nice it's real nice mine is uh definitely the ramp through the pops feels so good when you get it feels like a whole accomplishment very congol like yep so we're in ball three of the final round for this group the final game for this group that was Jazz now we've got Kate coming up player two Kate was the one that put up that monster score on Elvis so let's see let's see what she can do on Maiden in this type of play Allison do you do well knowing like you know Leslie's got 243 like do you play well knowing that like that's what you need to get to or do you just kind of like play your game um I mean I like knowing because it'll change my strategy like right now you can see the blocks are ready so that's lock two nice all the yeah so she's got a mode ready right in here hit up yeah the ramp lifted up so hitting underneath would start the next mode which is what all man mommy ready too that's rough Les's already got some of her power uh she got power targets and power Spinners already locked in she's got Rams and Pops working on those must have been monster multi balls because she didn't get to cyborg yet um didn't get to two minutes yet unless she SLE through it yep very nice I kept looking for that when I was playing yeah it's like anytime I cash that like 15 or 30 million all about it so she just locked Mommy so now she can continue hitting this guy up here spell mommy again to start the mommy multile you can tell the ball is locked in there because that guy is blinking red nice nudge she have a power jackpot ready on the captive ball yep yep let's see just the 1 million 1X so maybe not something should go for yeah just yet to cash in but she got it anyways yeah nice little bounce there what's your favorite mode to play on this game um whichever one's the two ballb multi bomb I can't remember which one it is aces high or I think it's AC's High Yeah I think that's the one this one always starts on flight yeah yeah which you know Ram shots are fun can be a little stressful but I do feel like Ryme of the Ancient Mariner is the harder of the modes to get through that that's the other two ball multiball the like boat one where the oh yeah yeah yeah it kind of the shots kind of rotate around yeah the roaming shots not my favorite all right L's got Trooper see what she can do see if she can get that uh that Playfield multiplier going how do you qualify that Allison there is a target right here a Target right here and then there's the third tget up in there somewhere oh yeah yeah I think they that yeah so those three will light Playfield multipliers to start it is then you're going to roll over the inlanes when they're lit so you can build up so you don't have to take 2x nice you can build it up all right just got three jackpots left there's one of them Yer multi keep whacking that mummy mummy ball yep just a couple more shots for mummy M oh there's the mood we were just talking about yeah so she's got to get it back in under the ramp to start the multi [Applause] ball it's okay she's got to revive it's all right you can see that score counting down there dang all right nice playing to all the ladies that was a really fun round too yep so you've got Leslie definitely moving on there also WS her initials yeah oh man that was exciting we are through the uh first round of the women's finals here at indisk yeah let us uh Alison's going to let us know what's happening so taxi is still going on so we might be able to squeak in and watch that so let's see we might try to get the stream on Taxi yeah yeah great so fingers crossed fingers crossed yeah I hear it ringing over let's see so Anna and Monica move on from group two nice Laura and Emily in the group we were following the for y and then this one and Leslie lesli and then I'm not sure still waiting on that one I couldn't had all the points up in my head no that's fair I already forgot the stream is moving on a taxi so that's exciting we're going to get to see the end of uh this group's play if you've been watching we were on Taxi just a round ago so um you know all the same stuff that we already talked about yeah this mobile rig that Carl has is pretty incredible I know I do really like the umbrella on top to block yes it's necessary you guys could see on um Iron Maiden there's just a little tiny bit of a glare without that umbrella there would be so much more um so it's I don't know which ball we're on oh ball two all two player three right now so Kate and Leslie in that other group are the ones moving on so very good just waiting to see what this group nice yeah it really is just sticking on that she wants to release that multiball with the left ramp of Doom nice save wow and just calming it down I love it oh dang like we've been saying that feed yeah Ashley's got a nice lead 2.6 million already Tracy's giving it a moment yeah tilt Bob is swinging there are earplugs at least in all these games they what earplugs earplugs yeah so you can stick earplugs above sort of where the Tilt mechanism connects into the game you can shove an earplug in there and it actually deadens the Tilt oh wow extremely fast like we've timed it before and if a tilt Bob would swing for maybe 30 60 seconds it's like maybe 10 seconds Max it's dead I had no idea about that that's pretty cool pretty pretty cool so yeah this is a tight round we've got Ashley with four points uh Lisa with four points and Tracy here with Five Points so yeah it's anyone's game car's got one which Carrie come up too it so Ashley can steal this multiball that did not get uh get released on the last play actually I think the last two balls actually so I'm sure that's uh what is going for here everybody's learned about that feed by now absolutely one of those fo me once [Laughter] situations lining it up oh she doing her best yeah right ramp not as deadly as the left that's for nice so that multiball is still up for oh a nice speed though yeah that's a good good is and she just got pinned byot too she's trying to get that one and oh there it is there it is it's a great bounce now let's see if she's going to try to post Passover music's even [Laughter] stressful so it releases it after amount of time yep you've got a certain amount of time gotcha she's working on the Maryland targets right there those are timed targets so you have to get them all down oh okay A C amount of time blinking a bunch she must have one left and she's The Last Passenger so let's see if she's I mean probably wise yeah those we've seen multiple people go for those targets and right down the midle on she's got to do all the things yeah pick up all the passengers get that multiball locked up and release it nothing's easy on this one close everybody's waiting watching me just got a locked ball release the ball one two yeah oh heartbreaking that hurt I felt that all right I think I think that means that Ashley and Elis are moving on right yeah do well yeah yeah yeah one super exciting to watch all those games and all the women players incredible yeah love it absolutely love it going to have pretty amazing next round all the women who moved on yeah I'm hoping maybe we'll get to see some Diamond lady oh I hope so prospector yes yes yes and we'll probably get to see Alice Cooper yeah if anyone dares pick the game I know I think that has it even been picked yet um I maybe once I don't know is it on I can't tell from back here it looks like there's lights on yeah I think I think we can see it yeah but no one had picked it no one yet doesn't mean that they're not going to pick it right I think who was it that had a really amazing game on that I think it was Ashley maybe during qualifying there was someone that just absolutely blew it up if it was Jane she was playing it a bunch too yeah we can you can check see what people get on that game don't look at my score um I mean Emily had a really good game on that but Jane yeah Jane put up a really good score on there too so nice well maybe it's a a good a good strategy of Emily to pick that game yeah since she did do so well on it in this next rounds you can see back there they're well we can see yeah that they're just getting the groups all situated for the next round we'll be down to top eight yes all right and we're going to take a quick break right now switch out team thank you both for commentating really appreciate it and we'll be back shortly with the semifinals stay
