three if you include the target match play that happened on Thursday but here today on Friday Classics one you're gonna see some incredible games how did these people get here they had to put together four games on one ticket it's on a pump a numb you have to do four consecutive games and hopefully those will hold up and you make the playoffs last year it was Kaylee George who was the winner on games like this you're gonna see nine ball a classic Stern game better be able to make the skill shot you've also got future Spa you want a wide body and then maybe a little extra body well there you go magic from Stern a couple of nice Spinners you always like Spinners it should be interesting we will see some great matches no question about it time now for the playoffs of Classics one all right what's up everybody hello welcome to Classics one playoffs here in Riverside California at Riverside Convention Center I'm Jonathan I'm Alex I'm Ron and we're gonna be your commentators today and I believe we're starting with a tiebreaker and it's on Argosy yeah yeah I think I saw that too and I forgot to inform you the target tiebreaker was decided straight to the main map this is actually a straight to the main match okay four player group Argosy and it looks like Zach is up Zach sharp there you go rips that spinner pretty good yeah so I think you really want this that's uh that's really good obviously because that lights the that uh um opens the gate right which he has to open right now it's already open down here yeah it's that spinner again how do you like the spinner in this game um does the does this gate do it let's see it might be pop hits I like all Spinners all Spinners are good all Spinners are good when they spin exactly but it feels better when they're actually worth points you know that's true yeah oh nice save this for your classic hit it up top a lot game yep yeah you can see he's advancing his bonus right here and it's not it maxes out at a thousand right you know right here 100 000 yeah 100 000 thank you I believe in qualifying this had the longest average queue time yeah it's a five ball game uh now he's because he's maxed his bonus this up here is ten thousand this thing right here it's great all right that's worth some points yeah and then you can double your bonus I'm trying to remember how give you these Banks oh the values there yeah I wonder how you get double back oh unfortunate still some ball time on ball one yeah this is what you want a five ball game so you know there's some a lot of chances to get more points all right next up we have John kremmer from Vancouver British Columbia I believe he won the playoff yes I think that's correct yeah the return from the saucer is pretty good yeah it's not too nice you got that gate yeah I get a few more times is almost a Max bonus now nice flip getting it up back up top uh it's the slingshots that turn the spinner on and off okay so it's sort of it's sort of random yeah now it's on so we got a good feed from the scoop there yeah saucer seems pretty safe oh rough yeah no saving that that's just gone now we have Arvid up um I saw him play on Wednesday um I think I forgot where he was from I asked him and I forgot my bad oh he says probably right there yeah it is Lund Scott I unfortunately geography is not my strong suit but I'm assuming that's in Europe yes I think that was correct he told me and I forgot I'm sorry varvid oh didn't get that little lane up there but yeah that's that's juicy right there oh he tried a drop catch there that was interesting still scented up top so that's good me seems like sometimes when he like hits that sling up top it adds bonus but I'm not really sure if that's supposed to do that it does have a switch on it yeah yeah and I think it affects the spinner okay and you're right I believe clearing this is double bonus but I don't know how many times you have to clear it or just once okay how many drains is that on the right side so far I think at least three three yeah like all three yeah hungry hungry outline now we have David real from Pittsburgh all the scores seem uh pretty close right now they're on the uh yeah those hidden slings are to triggering the spinner yeah nice gets that gate open he's advancing his bonus 50 000 in bonus already yup and the Spinner's lit backhanded nah slingshot's way too big nice alley path shots this is the spinner though all right use this gate and hits the spinner very nice he's there yeah there we go it is and it's gone no gate no save yep but he did uh pass Zach yep so he's in first place right now but only by 10 000 points and Zach sharp is walking up for his ball two which I'm assuming being player one he chose this yeah this is what you're going to see a lot of in the finals they're gonna choose well depending on the player but I think most players are going to choose the most controllable games yeah so you're going to see games like this would reject out of the saucer good nudge though to save it yeah see he saved it on that right side yeah yeah but then he drained anyway I'm gonna get inside here we go I love this well the replay it came back it was a Lazarus Lazarus amazing saved it out and then all right so John's up let me catch up to real time yo all right he's caught a couple drops down oh I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone we're just skipping through time I think we're good now uh just barely misses that lid spinner early then late I'd like to thank John for not training while we were doing that yeah uh there you go third time's the charm for hitting that spinner oh nice save in Lane 100 000 Max bonus and K right there good ball from John the double bonus is the saucer which is lit but unfortunate this yeah so I guess you have to get Max bonus first yes okay I believe and hope it uh Foster doesn't reject yeah I hope it's not one of those arches Arvid up next I believe a full plunge will get very close to the the middle but I mean I don't know the game's been played a lot since I played it yeah however it has a spinner lit nice tip over and he rips it that was beautiful it's control but it's on the right side so let's see yeah let me just juice it back up top got the gate yep got the gate halfway to Max bonus oh nice nice I want to save this guy has crazy flipper control okay gets control let's spinner oh just a tad bit early but he's got control back on the left flipper so we can just go for it again I don't know about you guys but like right behind me is RoboCop and right as he's hitting the spinner someone's hitting the spinner and RoboCop behind me yeah we're just hearing Sirens golf behind us oh nice oh nice wow that was a weird return from that sauzer still kind of safe though I mean yeah he's still alive it's almost at Max bonus almost now he has it nice all right so he completed the drops once and double bonus is lit got the saucer right here oh and right out oh right back again that right out lane man hungry it's a really close game right now uh all three players are like 280-ish pretty much around yeah all hovering around the 270 to 290 David John in the background just chilling watching watching um almost got that gate oh oh unfortunate a power outlane yeah did he even get a flipper on the ball there that was really fast yeah I don't think so no Brutal House ball all right Zach says ball three for Zach right yep okay he's got two more after this one and there you go gets the gate nice nut power in lane two power Inlet wow that's how you do it that's how you do it when you're lucky yeah hey that's a skill it's a skill luck is a skill that's my joke all right wow wow keep just getting oh brutal there's the brutal return we're waiting for from the sauce yeah saucer isn't safe anymore so that's the worst kind because it's inconsistent yeah what two safe ones or three safe ones and then one does that yeah basically rolling the dice anytime you hit that oh no oh another house ball takes the plunge Wow Nails it in that in Lane very nice nice drop catch oh man it's always the right outline way harder to drop catch on these flippers yeah yeah welcome to EMS I know a lot of times you see the younger guys they will continue to try to drop catch on these some of the more experienced players will just just hit it yeah I don't I don't even try on EMS I I don't know I'm like uh I would also just flip it but you know sometimes it works okay all right come on ah bummer Dave reel recently won the uh Expo Classics tournament okay all right oh yeah he knows something about Classics actually I think he won it two years in a row so oh nice yeah that one had alien star oh it got double Advance bonus which is in Maine here or open I should say nice that bounce good patience very good patience would that make him a favorite he's got a long ways to go but I don't know he can get the job done and Dave's very good at grinding games and this is definitely a grindable game oh yeah sends it back up top seems everyone is just focusing on getting Max bonus as fast as possible that's a good save yeah because I believe after you get Max bonus you can go for the double bonus yeah and it's actually you know worth it and also when you're at Max bonus the top is ten thousand yeah two the lights lit it's got Max bonus he'll need to complete his drops to get that double bonus though yeah right here yeah you need to complete those ones and then hit the saucer for double bonus oh okay oh very nice oh my goodness everything's going this way yep oh so assuming no tilt he's easily in the 400s almost 500 for sure yeah it's getting really lucky with that spinner because of being lit okay here we go oh nice oh almost 10 more k from the sausage to the spinner but you just can't seem to get that upper Lane oh he tries their job catch three I've seen so far none of them has been cleaned yeah yeah I really think he's he is not going to go for those drop targets at all no he's just gonna hit spinner until the flippers die yeah hope he gets that upper Lane for that extra 10K say Argosy definitely one of the more popular 70s era Williams EMS and tournaments yeah I see that a lot very very good with those nudges right there making sure he doesn't go in the in lane or outlane yeah this was in high stakes two years ago I think 2019. ish new like oh two indices okay what's the return and it's good all right it's good didn't hit the spinner that time but he's still safe spinner time that's what I'm thinking I think it's always better time it's up top all day for the 10ks attempts yeah and I agree I mean if something occurs where the saucers actually lit for double and maybe he'll shoot it I I just don't think he's hit the oh there we go the lane like more than uh once or twice this ball though he's been getting really unlucky bounces up there yeah that's true wow nice drop targets I don't think so I say he just goes back I think he's gonna alley pass and uh nope again okay just like that all right top for days oh just getting unlucky with those upper slings oh all right and he gets a lit spinner yep nice still has his gate a little close though and there goes his gate oh but he got the little spinner nice let's see if we can get that lane wow it really doesn't want to go in yeah there we go 10K 10K and the gate oh yeah that's right he used it yeah oh one more drop Target in the gate again still has a lit spinner it's almost that he's at 550 right now score wise uh just a double bonus is getting close yeah seems he only gets it when he needs to open the gate oh that's the center drain huge ball there amazing wow 670. good job David all right now Zach's coming up for his ball four four yeah yeah takes the plunge and Nails the upper Lane please give me the ball in the left flipper please another Lane another bonus advance [Music] he tries to drop catch it yeah I don't think I've seen a drop catch work on this game yet oh no no that's a clean one I think this is what you'll continue to see right flipper we're gonna go to the right of the tar the drop Target Bank up top left first yeah you're saying like from here like that and then this yep yeah those are the two shots you're gonna see over and over and over all right John but it's still exciting darn it it's fine I know I couldn't do it I know that's why I'm here that's why I'm here too I played this game that well I played classic Target match play did not do too great and I was like you know maybe Classics isn't for me I'll just stick with the open nice nudge I'm like two different shots I can deal with that oh oh no they're right almost so you've had like what seven right outlines yeah three it's like the same thing it's like right right out lane of Doom can light an extra ball somehow I'm gonna guess it's something here because we haven't seen it been lit and people played pretty long balls yeah I think maybe I think every time you complete the drop targets it lights the saucer for the next value so you'd have to complete the drop Target twice twice hit the saucer and then hit the right out lane you're right it's right there yeah so Arvid halfway to Max bonus almost a Max bonus oh and the center drain we didn't have any Center trains at the beginning of the game now we're getting all kinds of stuff yeah yeah people are getting dialed in I think to how to save it when it comes here yep all right all right David show us what you got I'm going to extend his lead second place right now is Zach sharp with 473 000 points ooh nice upper Lane gates open oh oh I guess a spinner but it wasn't lit pouring it on right here got it nice didn't get all the way up on it but points are points oh wow that was just like perfectly art that's like you didn't hit the spinner clean enough you drained yeah sorry all right ball five last fall this is where things get serious we might see a tilt Zach I believe he's a second yes yes currently in a second but that's like very small lead I think he would take it first for a second on a game he picked for sure you prefer first he's gonna have to grind quite a bit oh power in Lane wow it's getting squirrely man a little late on the spinner shot okay we're going up top no he's just hit the post yeah he paid for that yeah he was right of Target he hit the lane guy and came right back down just so everyone knows it's four two one zero scoring three rounds the very standard uh playoffs for uh three three games yes three games three games four two one zero plunges and Nails the upper Lane almost got the sauce got one drop Target oh that's dangerous oh that's dangerous those were some heavy nudges he doesn't care he was saving the ball on the circumstance I think he was uh annoyed at all those bright outlane drains yeah I'm not gonna let it happen I know the feeling nice nudge oh he's just going out it wants to go so bad his double bonus is lit and he's almost at a Max bonus this is when it's a player you're convinced the game is against you I'm always convinced of that oh wow that almost oh yeah almost almost yeah oh Gate's been used what do you guys call that I like to call it pilot error I live here I love that term that's pretty funny and a rare left outline yeah the gate wasn't open he used it all right so uh he did not he did not beat Zach do not pass that so Arvin here needs like what is that 40K ish to do something we lost the visual well there we go it's back our director Carl he got it back he was working in studio mode I don't know why that triggered that though it shouldn't have anyways uh Arvid working on you know not being last right now 's that spinner I I like that so working on not being last let me cover that one yeah so now with the bonus he'll he'll pass uh John but you know you know uh what is that cap five one five one yeah he's not quite I don't think he's right there yet the thing is in this format you really you want to pass the person above you you don't want to like I need to be first like no you need to pass the person in front of you yeah yeah you don't want to take a zero in a three round thing with four two one zeros and you don't want a more dangerous strategy because you want to be first and then you don't pass anybody so right now with the bonus he's passed Zach all right it's a long way to go to uh catch up to David yeah but hitting a lit spinner does help almost to Max bonus as well and he has passed Zach nice uh recovery from the saucer gets a drop Target another drop Target wow that was great and he's at Max bonus one more drop here one more and the saucer you can't forget that yes gotta light it oh 10K right because here's a question would you go for it I would go I would go for the drop targets I would actually try to get the double bonds yes but I'm also sitting here and not there so yeah some players would be like no if I'm just gonna grind right if I do everything right this game is pretty fair I shouldn't drain at least not easily I'm not a grindy player so I have to take crazy risks I feel oh reject out of the saucer and he used his gate he's got to be really careful now I would send it back up the top actually to get my gate lit and for this going for the sausages for the streams we like chance takers of course and that's probably why he should have gone on top of it right there yeah so the gate would have been opened be gone to this but you know he he passed David but David only needs uh twenty thousand twenty Anything could happen anything could happen yeah we have 10 000 bonus so he needs a non-house ball yeah but you know you could get house we saw it happen earlier so it'd be looking like a house and then he does in the cream nudge and then tilt and he's plunging this Lane would be really good right now because you would get an advanced bonus of 20. just full plunge oh it doesn't hit anything okay all right back up yeah all right twenty thousand one more oh boy I think he's got it nope nope no yes yes he got it yeah all right all right so David wins that round wow very nice that huge ball I figured he got it when he made no attempt to save it whatsoever the bonus was enough I was not going to tell yeah for sure well great game played by everyone these are the standings here for the openings for the open yes my name is nowhere to be seen we probably want to see the classics he's got it there we go so as you've seen the other groups are going it looks like Derek took a nine ball on uh group two um I played El Dorado I did not play skate ball I played skate ball it's um it seems okay-ish well I mean it's on harder settings like you know your bonus multiplier doesn't carry over yeah and all that kind of stuff hello hello again check out the open games behind us there's you know Godzilla you know we're watching uh we're watching the classics one I think there'll be Classics too tomorrow too and I think the schedule is around the same time I'm not sure but first I'll be women's we'll be uh that's the next thing on the stream channel will be women's at nine o'clock all right Frontier right over Alex's head yeah that game has I love Frontier it doesn't love me though no it doesn't love me either he doesn't like anyone right now in this whole format for sure I don't think I think the game I've done the best on is uh maybe RoboCop I'm not sure though Party Zone you know The Wrecking Crew is truly here yep oh that was bad and of course tomorrow the classics too is on a highly different set of first set of games so that you will not see any of these games in the playoffs which if you're used to the in-disc format in the past they've been on the same game so it's going to be cool tonight entirely different but mostly there'll be a few repeats it's victory in I will not confirm okay any games at the moment that means it's in that means victories in okay that's the voice of Carl call D'Python Anghelo who's not playing and but running everything basically and helping and he's running the stream he's he's saying he's the voice of God yeah he's doing many things but you know there's much many other people around here too him and many other people are doing a great job okay he's gonna move the camera now you have Jim belsito I think making a ruling in women's right now and uh you know here are some sponsors obviously storm pinball hey skogi if you're ever in Southern California and you want Korean barbecue and Pinball it's Gogi has two locations one in Van Nuys one on West Hills I've been to the Van Nuys location they do launch parties they're very great place very nice if you have a dollar burning a hole in your pocket playing an IPA tournament you give up that dollar or twenties of dollars yes comment pinball can you find LEDs I use them in many of my games Marco buy Supply uh buy supplies from them Parts I should say they have cool hats too yeah [Music] and usually the best display at most pinball shows oh yeah all the newest turns scorebit the greatest keep track of your uh scores many of the games here have scorpion they make score keeping much easier because the score is like automatically fed in and just has

fans the fans and uh Captain's auction Warehouse I'm gonna shout out pins and Pirates you can watch me there Monday nights uh 7 30ish we do both bells and time streams pretty much every Monday I know if I have 500 pinball machines I know who I'm going to sell them that's right very many other sponsors like pinball profile Outlaw pinball vintage arcade Superstore and various others vintage arcade Superstar belief supplied some of these machines and Classics and they put some of the arcade games in free play so shout outs to vas good excellent free play section here too you can play Rush all right so um I'm gonna tell you what I know about Mars truck you guys can all correct me all I know is like oops yeah you're gonna lose it okay you shoot the E and K at first and that lights uh the little horseshoe and then I forgot what I was supposed to do after that I did not play this game at all foreign as I was saying all I know about this is uh light enk and then that I think lights The Spinners but what else can you do Alex or Ron Rob sorry um you can drain out the left outline that's pretty popular in this game basically the the scoop ads bonus the little rollover in the upper left adds bonus you're gonna see probably most players hitting the left orbit shot over and over what you don't want to do you don't want to go in the or the T and the r on the top yeah when they go through there it then rolls down right where it says that little 3000 in advance bonus yeah Roll Along where that spaceship is it goes down right into the left out lane yes okay almost impossible to say I I know because it happened many times whoa just like that if you get the E and the K it activates double bonus that's why thank you very much yes and then um there's two spinners I don't remember how they light it's not on the rule card which always bugged me when I was trying to get good scores on this game does Ian k give you a double bonus too as well as um instead of bonus and light Spinners I guess yeah I avoided that whole right section when I played when I see a horseshoe I'm a sucker oh it's so satisfying to hit uh it also adds bonus um but the return can be pretty fast so if you don't have the reaction times you could end up making a mistake and all right well here's the let's see what this is like oh oh my God he survived I got the in lane and he survived he got the E so does it does he take the k for double bonus yeah he has to get a k now yep you can hit that Target or you can the right in Lane would have done it too oh yeah that's right here there's a k here too I see you can you can can you at least you can chats but it doesn't always make it all the way up or in my case sometimes it made it all the way up and went up and over classic yep I caught like getting alien starred as well the show pinball is truly International this is a Spanish game oh okay from Sonic and the Playfield looks pristine it looks great does he use highly toxic clear coat back in the 70s nice that's why these games look great how do you get an extra ball because you can play extra balls as you see there's a that is a good question trying to figure that out I mean it looks like but also because of the clear coat these play extremely fast yeah I'm whoa okay if I remember correctly at certain uh bonus values the Horseshoe will be lit for an extra ball okay yeah I think it's uh fifty thousand and a hundred thousand or forty thousand eighty thousand if I remember correctly so one of those two this one just kind of shots this for the k for the K yeah because he has a e no I was incorrect Flex bonus there which also resets your bonus value oh okay yes yeah you're right back to 10K so has it been uh how many left out lane drains has that been I think it's 100 on the left outline all right this is the left out lane stream yeah the last one was the right Outlet it's for balance of course yeah perfectly balanced that's all things should be indeed all right Zach is up for this is uh is this three balls right five ball it's five balls okay here it goes here it goes so he didn't do anything oh he tried the alley pass or shots oh nice save I'm gonna do it again I would rather post pass here honestly I couldn't he wants that K I couldn't post past it and left orbit no he missed the orbit too late he knows he knows he's gonna have to oh yeah okay all right he gets lucky oh it's the poster not the target bummer he went for it yeah and then it's more fun watching when the games are more brutal it really is and also you know with so many great players you got to make the games really hard because otherwise people will play Forever some people not me my games are fast always you always want to be in queue behind me oh I'll keep that in mind yes gets the E that was a pretty hard nudge yeah and no tilt oh oh it's a center drained out about that good variety all right Arvid currently the two is deep in thought or something's going on next to him that we can't see uh I think Derek's group has an issue yeah the group two sorry that I I just know Derek because he's a local player can you see I can't see I can't see there's a bunch of games blocking her yeah he's doing some stretching exercises of some kind well I know Jim belsito does that and you know he's good so maybe that's the secret to pinball stretching for your games guys I should do like power squats or something I think Jim touches his toes all right I'm gonna see if my replays are working yet that was weird last time yeah I think that works yeah it was no less painful is that Raymond Davidson in the background of the player cam right there yeah and he Sexton of certain pinball watching I think Ray day uh got last on game one I can confirm that so he really needs to make a move yeah make a move as they say all right Arvid is walking up he's still looking over you see from here are they working on a game and it's hard to see there's some games blocking like nine ball I felt like I had x-ray vision you know okay nope part of it is ready plunges this goes right to the left flipper now you know I don't I don't know I don't know what that was yeah game didn't like that he like backhanded the S yeah I don't know if that was on purpose I think maybe he was trying to backhand the order he's trying to backhand the orbit yeah yeah that makes more sense trying to make this type of yeah I haven't played this track I haven't played this much track because I don't know if that's you got to be really lucky on the fly to kind of get that and I would say that left orbit at least for me was earlier than I thought it was on The Flipper on the right flipper yep okay and it doesn't always go over that rollover that's the other cruel thing you mean you could come up here and yep and it will miss the rollover yeah if you're like just on the wall you'll just skip over it's a great feeling that's hilarious the best feelings when you miss it it comes up and then it goes through the T or the r and then drains into the left out lane it's great yeah it's a whole path thanks for playing uh playing playing a sequence but again this is on Fireball so you're allowed a couple of house balls yeah but I think is is it a house ball if you did it once and then you plunge it the exact same way and it does it again to me the second one isn't a house ball because you had information yeah you should have known that's not where to plunge it that's probably true that's a good point Outlaw pinball with the cool t-shirts check that out pinball profile of course that's uh Jeff teolis uh awesome podcast there's something going on I think on one of the games next to them I think they're going to take a break I want to stand up and see be our Scout see escher's Dad with his hat on I think that's his new name escher's Dad I feel like that's like a trend in the pinball community whenever someone has a kid see it here it's become that kid's dad David real now stepping up he's looking at background you see the chairs they all have like paper on them yeah everyone could put their name on and Reserve their chair and so there was a chair that actually just said escher's dad on it I would say that up that upper left upper right flipper a lot of players are just hold it up this one to keep it out of the outlane area that's it not actually I have to shoot anything with it that works pretty well on the skate ball if you hold it up when it comes out of the saucer in this uh oh here we go again he's gone wow he literally made one nudge and like yeah it's gone wow you can never have any help when that happens that's rough uh oh okay oh swirly back to back horseshoes yeah that was good use of the upper fiber he got it out of the area control gonna hit it up top a little late hit the target but he went to my aiming school did the same thing he hit him just a little bit late it's a little earlier on the flip than you think it is all right our vid coming back up this is uh ball three he's doing full plunges on almost everything whoa oh he's good he's good a little late gets two Targets though nice nudge so he has Ian k no he just okay he just has K okay is that extra oh that was Inland yeah I agree he's confused like that was three quarters in the in lane and then went out and he had extra ball that could be a good replay there if it works if it works okay we don't miss David real well he looks like he's waiting for the replay look at that I think he's thinking about how does he know he's taking a moment to compose himself he just has an air pod listening to the stream the entire time yeah okay we'll watch the live action uh looks like his ball is done oh he went backwards what happened here David drain you're not the right out lane I'm done with that he's done with replays we're done with replays folks you'll have to clip it on Twitter right I apologize some Matrix going crazy okay we're back to real time here twilight zone is over good use of the upper right flipper again yes double bonus got the EK yep nice flipper whoa he's gonna he wants it on that right flipper together oh there we go there we go there we go now we're seeing left orbit got it nice you wanted to go on the saucer and not in the lanes oh and this one the extra Ball's lit yeah right here go for it because you can play them you can play them as it says right here on the back get some more bonus oh here we go here we go and okay he's good he's good and I think he's gonna go for that all right yep oh like I said it's only on a specific bonus values I think he was on 50 000 when it was lit so okay so 50 and 100 we're thinking yeah well he's on 90 so one more top top with the saucer uh no 100 000 it's the Spinners oh okay yeah that's all right he'll probably what do you think he's gonna take a split spinner no went for the up top okay I mean there's no more bonus to get I feel like the best way to cash out at this point is to rip those spinners yeah you're risking the uh rnt with that shot it went up there but it didn't go over the rollover yeah yeah one's bonus is Max says Alex is right that's a good point yep spinner time yep and he collects it collects that double bonus well now you can move now we can uh you don't have to you can risk the Tilt yeah cause your bonus is low you still have double bonus though so it's just going back to left orbits all day very lucky very lucky I feel like that in Lane was what uh was like owed to uh okay so if he hits this a Target all of his targets will be uh 10K I believe oh yeah because he's only missing this yeah he also spelled Mars track and then also his extra ball is lit I think he's gonna go for it yeah why not you gotta play him oh and he missed okay let's try again and he gets it there you go yay and his back up top 140 000 wow nice nudge nice shots went over the roll over that's huh yep he's almost at Max bonus again just needs one more bonus the Monster Ball Four from that oh that was a hefty nudge trap there we go yeah one more left orbit a little late and gets it out of danger with the upper flipper yeah that upper flipper is essential all right he's at Max bonus he wants to hit that saucer uh on the right to collect yeah and it collects a double right collects a double because the double bonus is lit a little little late okay he's getting those lit Spinners yeah those little Spinners are juicy not a drop test wow and he hit the spinner I was jealous of that drop cast that was amazing oh the brick drain yeah but uh you know that's like but that still sounds like 900 something right yeah I know 800 something all right but he gets to play his extra ball that's really awesome still going all right I finally got that a Target but it's the level of play you see from the former pinber champion oh that oh nice nice that was a little sketchy he's trying to get those chances down but gonna be a little tricky on this game yeah he's gotten a couple times I would still try to post pass if you're new viewer a shots and Alley pass for the same thing yeah sorry basically Wonder like you know yeah the shots his name for Neil Schatz who was uh actually a West Coast California player who's known for doing that a lot yeah he's from the tip of the flipper to the other in-lane base he's got another extra ball wow absolutely looking at a roll yeah yep he's got 900 000 points and that's when basically because the EMS can only show so many points they're just going to reset to zero and in this one it doesn't have like a a million light yeah so got the k for the enk double bonus so he needs to either light the target again or go into the in Lane but instead he goes into the outline and he just did it he just rolled it so now we're back at there's uh just pretend there's a one here everyone right yeah a million plus points it was almost eight to nine hundred thousand more than the next person yeah and this is ball forward too so even if he doesn't collect another extra ball and drains like he just did he still has one more ball to go I'm gonna look this up here to see what the what the number one score in qualifying was I wouldn't be surprised if this just Beat It when you get this level of players you'll know a lot of times they they will get a score that is more than whatever the high qualifying score was it just happens all the time because now they're in competition mode you know they're wider how much they'll make me look like an idiot no the high score and the qualifying on Mars truck was 901 900 by Raymond Davidson all right so you just beat it just beat it wow Zach Sharps high on this game in qualifying with 602 000. okay so so he almost doubled it yep all right John stepping up for his ball four okay geek he could have just drained and you know he would have been safe he could have plunged again this has the zero flip zero switch thing yeah it's an em so it it depends it depends yeah it depends on the m and I never remember which one I never approached one so uh oh boy oh no Jack's open is definitely one with his no switch because it happened to me earlier today yesterday uh during the target match play I tilted my ball one on Jack's open and that was my last game oh yes Tilton's game still dance game and here we go here we go oh and he tilted wow wow I think I might have cursed him yeah that might have been the commentator's curse that was dang yeah all these players just forgetting in the finals get some money yes and then obviously the higher you finish the more I can't remember what the breakdowns are but it'll be on never drains uh Slash 2022 and there's a prize pool link and it shows the breakdowns the estimated breakdown for every tournament and it's up to date relatively up to date Harvard is uh I believe he's we can't see his phone but I believe he's got his timer on yeah about a minute 45 seconds just to let that tilt Bob shuttle down you can put the uh earplug trick in this I believe the Airboat there are ear plugs in a lot of the machines but I don't know if they're in all the machines you can't you can't do it in all of them because it's just the way it's designed but this this one this one's ripped off of uh the Williams okay the Williams tilt neck that's the same as like prospector and games like that so you you can there you go there's the price for classic one first place is going to get 1.1 k but just you know even if you qualified you'll get the bottom one there all right yeah and uh yeah um of your peers too right yeah for those who don't uh and you also get Whopper points or world ranking points what do you want to call it World pinball power ranking points um for those who don't know there's uh you can put an ear plug in the Tilt Bob mechanism it'll help settle quicker on lots of machines especially the more modern machines yeah thousand two in a row Mars Trek just does not like anyone who is isn't named Zach sharp apparently yeah horse truck had enough yeah it's actually played it too much Yeah March deck is like I'm tired all right ball five trying to pad his lead and oh God I would have been a surprise of that train I know if I did the same thing I would have drained out the outline oh double bonus wow yeah insane oh that's that's game for uh for Zach sharp so 1.18 million so that's a really good game to catch Zach sharp you just have to get a score higher than anyone's caught in the entire day that's that's easy enough right yeah you know I mean playing the like extra balls helps clearly just keep the ball alive good points easy all right you actually use the flipper to hit the ball that time oh boy and that didn't work out yeah really that upper right flipper you just hold that up to get it out of danger I would not use it all right this is gonna be arvid's last ball he is currently in second place 234 thousand yeah so realistically he just wants to stay ahead of whatever David real is going to get yep David real is uh not that far behind yeah I think Carl for putting a microphone on the rig yes I can hear the players so you more importantly you can actually hear when it goes over that rollover and it actually works yeah as opposed to when it doesn't work so David needs about 100K to catch Arvid John Kramer is going to get another zero unfortunately um this is again you're playing situation you want was it four two one zero it's four two one zero so he wants the two points he doesn't want one oh yeah and come see it because he's the four so getting two points would be wrong oh wow I feel like oh that's rough he's like I did everything right I hit the saucer and then I couldn't hit the ball wait did they tie hold on it's hard to read the score it's two three three four hundred it's two nine to two three it kind of looks like an eight yeah it might be nice but um no it was uh so that will put uh Zach sharp at five John at four and then Arvid has four as well hi Carl so it's five four four zero I think yeah right or no John has zero what David has four remind me again sorry I think David has five he took he took a one yeah he took a one so he has five now I don't know you can check out the one that also has that I'm looking up the website too yeah I just realized that yep uh it's five five four zero so uh Zach very close has five David has five Arvid has four and John has zero so John's out right yeah I found but everything else we're done but he can also spoil depending on where he finishes but it's a very close game between the other three once again we're here at indisk if you're joining us this is Classics one playoffs round one we are following the top group this is uh the last game uh it's 410 scoring three games and uh what do we have we have Zach sharp and I just clicked off of it Zach Sharpe David real Arvid uh legari and John crummer sorry Arvid I I pronounced your last name incorrectly apply for the Riverdale Convention Center Riverside Riverside Riverside Convention Center yes and the open going on behind us this this is open you can come down here and play in this yep and it's all through the weekend like qualifying on that ends Saturday at 11 I think yeah so you got about a day and a half left take on these players yes just don't do better than me because I want to qualify and there's also a women's and a high stakes and we will be streaming women's finals tomorrow morning I think around nine yes scheduled for 9 A.M start so hopefully we'll be on time just right when doors open right qualifying for the open yes yes everything starts at 9 A.M tomorrow and there's also a festival of fights that will begin tomorrow that's going to be interesting yeah that's being setting up for that that's going to be cool it's a bunch of fighting games it's Esports I got smashed they got Marvel they got a lot of players yep they got this is a very interesting event and there's going to be like a karaoke room over there there's going to be vendors and artist alley it's gonna this is a very interesting event it's like a pinball tournament a fighting game tournament and a bunch of other things all mixed up it's pretty interesting although somebody does karaoke Pinball Wizard I'm leaving uh once again I'm Jonathan I'm Alex I'm Ron and uh where are we all from I'm from Southern California so everyone sort of knows oh I'm from Seattle okay yeah I'm from Albany New York okay I'm on the other coast got it got it nice uh where do you all where do you all play usually um I play at another Castle in Edmonds I'm actually wearing their shirt right now it says I stuck at pinball which is I like that turning out to be true because I have not yet qualified for the open not yet not yet that's uh uh you've got time yeah I play at my house got it that's the best location I can go to that's a good location you control everything there that's true gotta love it okay this is the second group uh we switched groups yes right they're still in progress It's ball two Derek took the nine ball now a few things about this particular Stars it is set up on five ball and unlimited specials ooh so if you get to see on the right side you'll see the five stars in a line they correspond to stars all throughout the Playfield yeah there's like one here I think uh yeah it's two two in there at the bottom three up top yeah I kind of putting the the one that's really hard to hit if you get all five stars it will it will make a roving shot at one of the Stars I think they're all the X's I drew 100k but it's unlimited the way they have this set up wow so if you get it if you start hitting 100ks if there was a possibility of turning this game over wow which usually does not exist and then uh the drop targets if you complete one set of drop targets and one free bank one three Bank you'll get double bonus and then if you complete two three Banks uh you get Triple bones Raymond's already on double right yeah so he just need to hit both of the remaining grab targets and uh and bonus is basically like your inlanes putting outlanes when they're lit oh the little orange rollovers on the the middle and the top of the Playfield this does have a center post but that also means you drain like that yeah I think that's true you need it to come and hit directly to that's your left cough walking up he's got two points you'll hear Chimes but this is actually a solid stake yeah it does have a real chime box that's a real china isn't this the last one that they made with the Chimes or whatever no they had a series of these stars um like Stingray Memory Lane okay and uh pinball very inventive title I like your name of the game Pinball awesome I wonder where they got it from yeah honestly so Derek is at what 63 so he's currently third all right obviously he wants that he wants to get to eight because that would be a really really uh strong you know for moving on if you're looking at the backbox the score just so you're not confused it's not like every other game in the planet you're looking for here yeah player one is actually on the bottom it goes up one two three and then four is in the lower right yeah sorry like I should probably draw numbers they did that for a few games it's kind of confusing it is confusing I have had a lot of people play out of turn on this when they're first play it um yeah it's got a really confusing you gotta really pay attention because this is a little like four up light here yeah another thing to note about this game too is that as you collect Stars uh your right spinner increases in value yeah and 200 for every Star yes it is 200 for every Star that you have and then uh I think it's with complete sets of drops it will increase the value of your left spinner but your right spinner is much more value yeah you have to you have to hit two or is it one one or two of the three Banks without completing it it'll it'll add one of the 400 inside it just Great rule set great game a little early on the flip on the spinner shot it also has another unique feature it doesn't usually get used in the three Banks if you hit the two outer ones without the hitting the center one it'll light the center one for 7K wow yes that is oh that's what this is a little Nuance okay yeah yeah all right there's gonna take a minute to think about this currently in the lead rips it yeah that was the right decision in my opinion the drops are valuable but they're also extremely risky you can get a lot of Center drains from that yeah oh so if he hits that uh leftmost drop he will get double bonus and then all the drops will reset which is probably worth it now yeah he's got good bonus really good bonus spinner time yep oh no oh he was late on that you don't want to hit those those two lower stars on the left and right you don't want to hit them directly ever especially when they've already got in them you let the slings get those for you all right Tim Sexton went up for ball three of five on Stars advertising the stern Insider connected yeah sign up today when can we do that on uh Em's and uh oh I want I want achievements on uh classic games various stars like wait a minute so we have we have two Stern employees in the same group playing against each other coincidence oh boy oh post they're literally on the same team I wonder if this will cause problems at work I know Jerry beat me that are supposed to be Trust oh and he got that as I say never shoot for any shoes for yeah now the hardest star to get is the one on the the white star the one on the top this one it's not directly hittable you got to bounce off pop bumper the other thing is the game spots a random star okay at the start of every ball and it's random so you kind of hope it spots you the white one got it all right that sure almost has double bonuses all right so Derek looking to extend his lead here oh oh are we doing a replay no he's trying to replay no uh yeah okay that's a very good slope yeah that was that was there was just a lot of flipping it was just too chaotic oh and uh I think Derek played his ball oh no no he's saying there's an issue oh flippers yeah that happened to me during my one game oh and it's fixed yeah it binds every once in a blue moon I sure almost uh broke the game oh well no he broke it again maybe he just doesn't like that I have a feeling uh yeah oh boy they're probably gonna work on that just hit it harder it should fix itself taking a picture of the score we'll see what the ruling is and this is their backup game they played El Dorado first and it broke and it broke oh did that show break El Dorado too apparently dang so so we will have to say escher's pilot error was The Flipper sticking problem yes yes that might be what happened all right so we'll see what's going on Azure has Midas Touch for breaking pinball most likely it's a binding flipper which and now now that they're showing it to a TV it's just not going to happen right well we've seen it on stream happen I know what happened to me we have footage there's receipts there it is oh now it could be I mean it could just be binding it could be a two second fix loosen it tighten it who knows who knows maybe they'll go to Victory next oh it's not on the bank but you know it's a possibility I like the Playfield on Victory yeah playing it though that's a that's a whole different story hurry UPS right it's all like one two three four well no it's like you gotta get like it's kind of like taxi but like with checkpoints so like yeah you gotta checkpoint one and you got checkpoint two and then you gotta get three four five six two feet into each other I guess oh this would be cool if we could actually see it oh no lift it up higher I want to see the issue I want to repair stream zoom out and hands imagine if you're turning into the stream right now you're really confused see those are the Chimes yep Stern uses a four chime unit as opposed to the three chime unit the other manufacturers used but the only time you hear the fourth chime the only time you hear it is when you start a game you want to place the tune and when you get the 100K special interest it's the really the big chime with the really deep I see that's good to know which I always thought it was cool yeah you could say it's a special chunk but it's Stern so it's very cheap it's just mounted on wood and it destroys itself over time I mean such as the nature of pinball yeah stern was pretty cheap yeah all Stern I'm not talking about current Stern I always saw their games they're like they're like the sports car that's made primarily a plastic oh yes anything it explodes but man it plays good yeah that's an old Stern like you know it's cheap but it's kind of like uh kind of like Jack in the Box for me all right yep he's going at The Flipper here screwdriver all right I wonder why he's not screwing the plate oh we got a better uh better angle and now that was a good angle that was a good angle for like two seconds hey there we go all right it's got Jim belsito and someone else that's your main so you know when you guys go black the stream doesn't go black oh it's the preview for some reason interesting it's Studio mode right right never right but a chicken it's not it shouldn't I know something's weird the viewers don't see that okay now this has the What's called the type 1 Stern flipper base plate the earlier Style not that anyone cares no no I mean I'm interested I don't know very much about old machines so like this will be it just lies completely flat against the Playfield yeah I think what big game they went to the type two okay and that's also in this Bank everyone just so oh yeah there's a lot of Sterns in this bank I know and I still didn't qualify and I love Sterns I like my favorite games oh there's tarragon speaking of evil half past time so let's thank a moto at this time she's behind the camera right now thank you Emoto thank you Moto thank you very much Moto always a many pinball events you can see a lot of the other games in the classic Bank here's uh What's this called Jack's open yeah I can't draw but it's right next to Paragon that game uh did me dirty that was a trivia question um I think it took three Clues to Guess that one trivia was hard this year it's always hard that's what makes it the indisk has a Discord where they have trivia where you can get free entries if you can guess the games but the clues are quite hard after the fourth or fifth one I just like no that's too weird I'm never gonna guess any of these I just got like two or three games I really wanted to see the banks and just copy the painted yeah you're better off just like what games did they usually have here what are good tournament games that you start guessing and there's uh Dave Hill and Jay Collins two of the top techs here we're looking at this uh also watching and then you saw Bob Matthews sitting down actually shout out to all the techs here yes yeah you see Bill UNG he's uh on the back at the end working on like maybe Media or not meteor I think that's a big game they pretty much got every game back up that went down so yeah jungle princess went down a meteor went down for on it's back up Jim belsito pretty amazing you saw him yesterday at the end of Classics Target match play he made the finals he finished second which is pretty amazing because he's been also you know teching running the tournament making rulings setting up the tournament he was here like you know way before earlier loosen the Allen screws he's now probably pulling the flipper up a little bit the problem with these then when you tighten it again it'll push it back down again all right the Moto's gonna give us the uh in-depth the enhanced footage yeah yep you can see him he's turning him with his fingers you see you can see the upward down motion now he's because when it binds it doesn't have that up down motion so it just binds against the uh binds on the top he's trying to get a little more space there the problem with these things hard is you tighten them and then as you tighten them further it'll actually start moving The Flipper so then it's not lined anymore these are horrible to work on fun games though they are fun what's cool it's got a belly flipper coil in it wait a minute I thought this was a Stern game yeah what the stern basically ripped off their whole system from Bali they reverse engineered it then they had to pay Valley like licensing fees but if you ever wondered why like hey this board works in a valley and an old Stern I wondered that yeah but same's not true for the flippers Valley board but oh yeah what does that say Nat's under here nuts under here that's under here that's what it says all right awesome I love looking at all machines and if there's like graffiti or notes inside them or random things I think um you can find all sorts of weird stuff sometimes yeah nuts under that's under here all right yeah I like the two different screws yeah yeah oh yeah classic that's a Phillips and uh flat head the problem with the plates is the holes that get blown out so it's like a number six screw then you got to get like a number eight tap and you know drill it out wow or you'll have to or you gotta just ditch the plate oh they took the flipper out was that a new flipper bat that looks like the same thing oh yeah if that's the Stars if that's the original Stars era flipper bed it's actually it's metal with a plastic shoe that screws into it interesting do you think they're gonna re-roll this game and have them play something else or I think they're gonna try to restore it because if they were gonna play something else that ruling would have been made I think by now I mean obviously if it's still if he can't fix it then yeah we have to go to something else and then Derek you know is going to be sort of sad but you know um this happened to Jim belsito at uh pins and Pirates a couple weekends ago he was leading my future spot by like 250 000 and it broke and so they had to redo future spa and he was still leading and it broke again and then he just switched games and he did not he did not get first and also if you're the higher seed and you get the ability to pick all the games it would really suck if like right you know well we could have fixed it maybe if we had a little more time but no go play another game oh I want to finish this one yeah but Derek was number four so I assume he wasn't the higher seed actually we can see I mean look that's something I can look up Derek was seed uh 15 yeah that would make sense the dice seed was Tim Sexton which also makes sense oh new coil sleeve has arrived thank you Jay Collins so they're gonna put a new core sleeve in I play at Jay's venue in uh Santa Ana vision control it's very nice very machines are really well maintained because he lives like three blocks away it's a Barcade yeah you can see the flipper bed it's metal a little plastic shoe on it now what you can do if it's it when you when you tighten the Allen screws it just digs right into the metal you could swap the bats to get fresh metal try that oh interesting or in this case I think they might have just brought another bat over there's a text stream now this is great yeah Classics one more like Classics Tech yep stars is pretty easy to work on it doesn't have it doesn't have much to it uh Jeff is asking why aren't you kidding judge Ellis has asked me why I'm not fixing it the hell why are she not picking it well I own a stars but yes I'm sure Jim is more of an expert he has way more games than I do but you owned this game yeah okay they're taking the whole plate off this this gym bills he don't own the Stars I mean this is probably his Stars uh I don't have to see the plate it might be J Stars oh well Jay is right there next to Jim oh there you go oh hey that's uh the graphs are waving at us there's Adam McKinney our winner of Classics Target match play last night we all saw that party animal game yeah we got robber Byers of top row pinball who I hope is number one on WWF but I don't know yeah he better he yeah I don't think he is but I think he wants to be open yeah we have a WWF Raw Rumble here with no ball save oh during anything even multiball it's great wow I'm scared to play that game I'm scared to play it now and I started multiball in the last like two seconds I think I got one jackpot I was happy yeah when I played Royal Rumble the uh they just finished working on it so I was like oh it should be fixed now and then left flipper was still like just started to die on me in the middle of my game I was like well that's great you got Kaylee George we got Keith there's no one sitting on the floor discussing why Godzilla is so awesome also wondering where his hat is no we have today yeah no I don't recognize him without his hat he's trying to be Incognito but I had to do it I had to do a double take when he when he passed by me the first time like wait is that Keith that one is Johnny calf so give him up because Harvard worth waiting and there's villan working on local Tech working on El Dorado city of gold and the fact that he's working on it it looks good so that means it can be picked later yeah in later rounds because we have uh we go from what is this we go from one two three four five six seven eight thirty top 32 down to 16. yes so here we go let's see what's happening thanks to moto again who got buys top top eight four for their double Vise I always get confused with the bike yeah I don't know if there were buys because if that sharp is the number one yeah that's what that's was yep no buys 32 16 8 4. right all right back to Tech right there the best voice of anyone here what he doesn't like to announce yeah you want to come run this no I don't want to you'll do better with the instant replays than I am I'm sure Carl's got the command center he's got three large monitors didn't replay the the tech yeah let's do that no I I I could try let's do more Tech no because it's only on the center there's the out hole kicker yeah yeah that's the only thing you'd see I see I get it yeah he's uh he has a deluxe stream deck the the max the max one with the max buttons it's got a full mixer I wonder what they're specifically looking at they got the whole plate out I mean if you want to walk over there you can but I think we should leave him too I don't know it could be you know I'm trying to think why they have it out because even if the plate if the coil stop the screwsford are so blown out that it can't get into the plate you can't put nuts on the other side because the plate sits flush against the uh Playfield nope turn it off oh damn they tried I'm sorry I tried all right all right I'll be back it's gonna move in uh we're moving to another game I called it oh that's a shame so that was really good for whoever is losing oh who was the last place right there was it Ray day I I there's a fireball game and I think they were on my ball three they're about three Derek was leading there's Derek Raymond he said I'm not picking a game you can have shot fire accuracy I want something fast so Tim Sexton pick stars because he feels he has uh stop making is inferior to his opponent so he's picking Stars which is what I would do stars is a great like I I these players may be better than me I need something with a little more variety yeah are we going to Stargazer then something where my balls like flying around can actually add value to my shots oh my God what are we going jungle princess oh boy Mars Trek El Dorado so they literally fixed it and they're going back to the run back get ready it'd be crazy if uh they fixed Stars this time machine Wang in the back El Dorado breaks and then they go back the Stars all right so get those drop Bank targets at the top because uh you clear them once I think you're at a hundred thousand and I think it's locked in for the next couple of balls for the rest of the game I think I wouldn't know yeah so this is really important up here um you want all 10 of them obviously if you can get them in the order where they're like you get the light oops how like one is lit right there you want that one first but you know just get them okay that's it for Tim Sexton but I believe if you get all the drops on it'll Max bonus at 100 here and then um okay um there is a skill shot it's in the US it's the flashing Lane yeah it's like five thousand so it's not really worth that much but does it spot anything I don't think so okay I don't know the thing is though oh man oh I noticed whenever I went through the lane up there uh I got better feeds you know because I got at least one flip yeah when I played this game I tried to go for the skill set every time and it just never worked out and then this is the this is the bonus multiplier but I think it has to be done in order right that's because uh I don't think so okay no you just get more points for the one that's lit excellent so yeah it's the same I think that's the same rules up here but basically if you can clear this on ball one I think you lock in a hundred thousand for the next two balls it's a three ball game although it does say a complete sequence for multiplayer but I played this several times and I just went through okay all the targets and it gave me the tour you get 2X and 3X yep right here all right as you're plunged and oh dangerous oh he's good he's good now this game is a solid state version of El Dorado Target Alpha Canada draw there's so many so many they reuse this play field at least five different games but there might be five including this one uh this is actually uh Daniel's game for project pinball there's a note on it so uh it's pretty it's pretty nice honestly it's very good condition super difficult and I've never I my joke was when this was revealed in trivia I didn't even know this game existed oh yeah and somebody guessed El Dorado and you had to guess El Dorado on the city of gold to get the trivia right yeah it didn't happen with like uh like a starting game as well like they didn't guess the right model of stern game and I think that did happen yeah okay so yeah you're right and you're right he got the 2X and that wasn't in order yeah just two more drops escher's just killing it right now ooh almost gets that last drop bonus is great though yeah bonus is phenomenal oh it's gonna collect this is all bonus 2x go look at that score just all right here comes Derek the local player but I'm sure everybody knows who's watching all right let's see what he does wearing the critical hit t-shirt a format uh created by Carl where you have cards that are really awesome that do things so sort of like magic the Gathering meets pinball highly recommend trying to if someone runs critical hit tournament near you attending it's a lot of fun the high score for Eldorado and qualifying was about 1.2 million okay well Escher is about halfway there and it looks like he wants the skill shot and he's not going to get it who almost got it though but he's good he got he's gonna he's gonna let the Play Store validation that was smart that was smart yep we're uh we're at Adam's family here tries to soft punch again and just a little too soft but better than going out into the open oh for sure Plunge oh wow oh he's gonna ask for it okay he wants the ball on The Flipper so by the way the ruling is if generally if the ball goes into the Playfield like this oops you get um you get the ball on whatever flipper usually you can divide the Playfield in half and it goes on The Flipper that if you can't get it out yourself he's gonna make another let's see are they gonna make him nudge it I mean it's literally just on top of this host seems like the TD it's a TD call um there's no so on one of the games on Frontier I think it says you have to nudge it there's a there's a there's actually a play a little like text but there isn't on this one so I think I think this is actually the right ruling because you didn't write nudge on the back glass because Frontier actually has that note in open it says if it's resting on the inlay not Lane the player has to nudge it yep that's just weird because there's there's no attempt to nudge that there you just immediately get the ball on the footboard that's just interesting Derek demonstrating rules knowledge meanwhile I got it stuck on Foursquare uh I called for it they were gonna bring it down and then the key they didn't have the key so I just nudged it out after trying like and it finally worked good thing you didn't tell I would have been afraid of that it was ball five so I was like I don't want to wait for the key yeah and I was like there's no bonus on Foursquare and it's ball five so I was like Matthew's here he would be Uber careful when he closes at coin door I noticed that he is ultra paranoid of this slam until slam toe going off I mean it's like it's a bomb yeah yeah it really was the fight all right Derek let's see going going up here I'm guessing yep or you could backhand the green targets oh this how's the backhand on this uh work for me you can get the couple on the left okay that's about it yep yep goes for the uh bonus multiplier targets and bounces up to the oh boy upper drops good he's good he's good making some progress on those drops two more drops left to get two exponents one more drop and that's good that's come on now the target's on the top you want to try to use those two flippers up there to get those these these just to get more angle because if you shoot them directly they could go right down the middle this yeah that seems very all right it is ball two Tim Sexton is player one he is in last place right now hopefully that can change so he did a full plunge to that upper flipper you got one drop Target and we made a lot of progress right there nice safe but the outlaying that hurts when you feel like it's going good you're hitting all the targets and it just boom it still drains it comes what did I do wrong couldn't even do anything about it you know it's just just gone this is Raymond Davidson the number one ranked player in the world yep his Discord is pretty awesome too if you ever want to hang out on Discord his Discord is excellent Okay so well on his way to a multiplier that's people in there like well what's this Discord yeah I don't know what it is he'll there'll be a link later I'm sure someone posted yeah so he gets the inline oh he does a rolling alley pass wow that's crazy still hasn't gotten any drops up top yeah he's going for the multiplier first he's going for the multiplier first if you're wondering like why why isn't he post passing well he probably played this earlier and it didn't work got it 2x oh there's the Center Post which I think is just off frame that's why he didn't really make an attempt I think he thought he's gonna Center proposal yeah sure I think I forgot the center plus was there or I noticed it was there after like the third ball of my first game I know exactly I forgot magic at the center post so Jimmy sad I blame the rubber it's got black rubber on and it's Rick really it's like yeah it's like uh camouflage that's the rules not sure looking to Pat his lead all right he's trying a short plunge here not sure who's won almost everything he's played in for the last year yeah he's uh I think he's one of the favorites in the main tournament at Expo lucky Bounce from a pop-up or he got a few drops up there it's back up top got a drop for bonus multiplier another drop getting really nice pop bumper yeah action wow wow almost uh one more for the the multiplier yep oh unlucky we don't jinx anyone but these are Godly drop targets so the chances you'll see one brick or very low very low yeah yeah it's not like Valley or even Stern or even anyone they had the best drop targets I feel like Stern is the worst about breaking drop targets though yeah I think it's literally called the valley for a reason Valley brick all right so Derek who was leading on stars is uh no longer leading in this game in fact he's last but he's got the most balls to play so let's see what he gets trying to get that short plunge yeah it's really hard to keep you patients when you're constantly trying to short plunge and short plunge I know I lose it all the time and just say you know screw this I'm gonna have full plot oh there we go be happy we're not playing jackpot yeah I know uh that was uh that was at pins and pirates of the 90s division there was a lot of short plunging and a lot of waiting or white water white water oh why water is the worst one for sure uh there was a tournament uh oh another right out lane drain there's a tournament in my area about a week ago Kaylee George his first game was uh White Water he got 1.2 billion wow yeah that game took like an hour wait is ball three of three on El Dorado in the velocity of gold Tim Sexton is stepping up full plan just again and guess the skill shot that was nice yeah it was nice does he get a flip yes he gets a he gets two flips at least that was all right all right he's gonna backhand the bonus multiplier drops or is he gonna go up to the big Bank drops oh he saw Holly pass solid Raymond it's all Raymond yeah oh he's close to 2X this is big that is a huge drop Target right there how will this feed be it's fine nice it's another drop Target up top okay does the ollie pass this over no no all the way up you get the flashing one there we go oh nice wow that's a hundred thousand in bonus pretty big if you can get that last and last Target right here the thing is that's just for 2x yeah yeah you do it again you get 3x oh yeah oh excellent nudge got it there you go if you were gonna drain you want to get a glass before you drain sure look at that bonus wow they didn't quite catch Usher but that's a good uh score for now protects him a little bit you know I was at 128 just lets the score is fine I think it's 128 Carl's nodding is 128. Rite Aid going for the short Plunge I always like to leave this place the green oh yeah these they were unique I had no one else used them Eight Ball deluxe used them for like four units I think well they they had their own album yeah they're up in America okay which Halls it said was like play Eight Ball deluxe oh wow bummer for Raymond Davidson I don't think he had much bonus though I don't think he did either he might be uh getting another last place here looks like ouch because Derek is only 20 000 behind him and you start with 10 000 in bonus right yeah okay yeah and Derek has four all right so really as you're doing uh half plunge and Pat his lead yeah wow okay then so all right so Derek needs like you're right 20-ish to get to uh Raymond and get at least earn a point and as the four that would be obviously really good then 200 40 000 ish to get to Tim to Tim and then four hundred thousand for her first place it was only game two of three so I mean obviously just at least get a point yeah so in this this soft plunge is really important because it will advance the bonus to 20 000 and that's what he uh more or less needs exactly looked at the camera it's confident he knows what he's doing he will short plunge as many times as he sticks exactly Derek's a very Derek's definitely dialed into this um yeah and Derek's very used to being on stream also he punches much harder okay he's at 20 000. oh lucky in Lane thirty thousand two more drops for two exponents and four more drops up top looking pretty good oh how did you see that that's a pop bumper of like the popcorn pop up Grace he's just playing it really loose I'm just gonna hit the ball keep it alive it's falling out okay but I mean you know what that's at least the point yep so Raymond Davidson gets another last unfortunately and Esther's gonna go to six which Raymond made it in in his last entry at the 11th Hour wow at one point wow I think that means he oh that okay there's that there's achievements in the in this tournament but I think that and the making the cut line only works for the open at the last minute they have like names and you get like uh you get a little challenge coin it's pretty cool oh if you get booted out at the end you get the belcito award uh no you have to boot someone else you have to get in Oh I thought last minute it should be one that like if you've got bills so you don't feel as bad yeah that would be nice but it's uh it's uh you belcito the field I think is the name of that achievement if you're wondering what we mean there is an actual verb here in the competitive pinball world called you've been belcitoed and it's when Jim belsito in his last entry blows something up as time expires and knocks you out yeah like so you were the 16th person and the only top 16 go and then he makes it in and then you get you're the 17th person now and then yeah you just got belcito and he's done it so many times it literally is a thing you think he's gonna do it this year uh I don't know he has a lot of other things to do yeah he did win high stakes last year though and I think part of that was because high stakes qualifying goes until some some There's Sunday qualifying for high school so he can he can spend more time doing that I mean we have one of the top players in the world here is our director and he hasn't played any pinball he's not going to play he already said that on the stream and uh he has to run everything it's it's the sacrifice he makes but you know Carl's really good and we really like the event and um he'll get points don't worry he's a good enough player he can get points in the region and in other places I think he told me he's going to free play for in other places and don't forget to watch some I.E pinball yes Carl streams speaking of playing speaking of pinball monk they sponsored the entire month of January if you're watching the streams you could win prizes um I won a power supply fan kit nice yeah and uh my friend won a t-shirt so for the overly noisy Stern Pinball power supply yes exactly my friend was like because I don't own a swim pinball he's like uh do you want to part with that power supply fan you know any of them like we'll talk and uh of course I think Carl's moving are we gonna follow this group let's see Carl's moving the rig he pointed himself and said my bad when he came back right he's got to move the rig and I think he has to swap the batteries potentially or maybe a just uh adjust the transmitter if you can't see the rate oh here we are at skate balls while the player does not hold that's when you complete these top three lanes you get a bonus multiplier like here I'm sorry it seems like the uh player cards aren't updated but we are watching it'll be updated I uh messed up Carl there we go I messed up I wasn't watching for the queue all right so uh yes if you do that uh you get a bonus multiplier but it does not hold on some skate balls it does when I was playing the classic target battle Play to save oh but tilt but that was going out so if I remember this you build bonus collect bonus yeah bonus collect bonus uh the collect is right here what people have been doing is holding this up and it's a decent decent return you can also if you really want try to shoot this or you could let it come out but I think if you let it come out it'll click the sling and you're in Sling land yeah uh you definitely want to basically clear this it's about skate and uh are we allowed to play extra balls I don't see a note here anymore so it might just get points uh oh yeah uh but yeah it's true because it was real extra balls during the classics Target match play I don't know if they changed it yeah I played this game during Classics Target match play and actually got first and it was like my first time ever playing a skate ball nice yeah I mean I know some of the rules because I watched the tutorial oh and this game also has the Super bonus holdover so if you want to get the 20 40 or 60 because you'll lock it in for the rest of the game you know this builds your bonus attending Valley option yeah if you're looking at this Playfield saying you know this kind of looks like flash because it is yeah it's very easy it is a rip-off for Flash I actually own a flash it's the only game I own I got it for free nice but they did add an extra flipper and some extra drop targets all right arm is up got four points this is another 5540 situation all right this is the last game of the round so yep Zach Arvid and David are close competition here I wonder what music they're listening to yeah or it could just be noise canceling also true some people just like it to be quiet yeah a lot of people like the noise Okay so are we going yep nice oh dangerous yeah this is dangerous he's good so for those who don't know that's very this is this is a drain there's nothing there's nothing here this is an empty inverted Lanes on the left the in Lane is an outlane the outlane is an in Lane it seems like tilt is uh pretty forgiving on this skate ball I know I was pulling off some crazy nudges earlier and was like man very nice felt like I should have tilted once that saucer that's a good job Catch 10 000 points on the saucer or 20 000 I'm sorry yeah see he held it up it's gonna be a lot of 20ks that he keeps doing yep no okay let's help all right up next it's going to be David Arvid is in the lead right now with 116 000 points and David short plunges and gets the S yeah then he avoids the pops basically oh boy oh bummer yeah the short punch is a legitimate strategy especially because the bonus multiplier doesn't hold over yeah I promise if you short punch it in the uh left in Lane yeah that would not be cool it's a skill shot in your mind actually this is the Congo skill shot would be fine here yeah that's right because it would be this one yeah all right so Zach heading into his ball too getting some pop action yeah bombers yeah that's why some people short Plunge that's very unfortunate it's not three ball it's not three ball it's on three ball John just having a Sunday Drive of the game wow wow that was brutal maybe short plunge is the way to go yeah I mean I didn't have any of those problems I didn't either so I don't know maybe skate Ball's just a little extra angry today I mean he hasn't played a lot now it's because I qualified John won the playoff to get in so you will get some money it's true all right bonus multiplier better make good use of it it won't be around next fall okay nothing left got the T ooh again now yes oh I think it's that right side has got everybody so far it seems like almost every game we're watching has just hungry hungry outlines yeah they're definitely set up to be uh difficult that's why it's Classics yeah that's also why it's because that's in this so you know so many good players yup games got to be difficult yep Dave thinking about what to do what to aim for goes for the skate targets he has almost completed the bank today being for Pittsburgh he played it you'll pop a facility a lot so he's used to a lot of these old games oh nice control whoa going for the collect uh good great patience and good nudge it's right here nice alley pass early a little early yeah that alley pass is pretty safe because you got that one-way gate yeah right here yeah so you don't have to worry about putting it too far yeah that'd be an interesting mod yeah to remove the gate actually I'm surprised being interested in do something yeah yeah I feel like I've seen some tournaments do that but I could be this has been an Indus before and I think they might have removed the gate I don't remember this also has the other exploit oh this yeah you can roll you can like put rest the ball here and like come up and down oops Yeah not bad I think what did that give you like an extra ball I mean it's it increases your bonus oh that too okay so this guy uh David is just going for the saucer 30 000. 30 000 assassin hit amazing so let's see what happens yeah I wonder they want to see this I want to know if it's a real extra ball or just points got it looks like telling of his bonus because it's also collect bonus and it's seems like it's just points yeah because there's no shoot again lightly no all right so they turned that off makes sense spinner is lit for a thousand to spin on the right side that might be worth going for at this point too could also get your bonus multiplier up but uh don't only just do that one you can just collect bonus I like that upper flipper drop catch pretty much yep and he got another oh and he gets a nice nudge and he cleared another set of skate not 15 000 bonus I'm gonna go for the saucer again yeah extra balls lit again there's more points What A Catch there it is there it is you can't hear the cool sound makes a very cool sound oh uh okay nice amazing nudges 17 000 bonus and you just go to try to get the 20 now I guess so right because yeah if you get the 20 it'll be locked in for next ball but on this side you're definitely gonna go shoot the sausage yeah whoa oh it's I think a saucer got uh resets back to the twenty thousand yep yep he collected the extra ball 19. get the in Lane nice and he's with the bonus carryover super bonus I think is what it's called just going to town on those drop targets goes for the saucer again I would like to see him hit that spinner just for the satisfaction of it all right extra ball is lit oh automatic look at this 23 000 bonus collects 720 right now wonder if he can hit it on the Fly no he just lets it go back to his slipper rinse and repeat yep yeah if you find a strategy that's you know comfortable and easy to do best bet to kind of just stick with it it might not be the most efficient but you can do something consistently over and over again worth a lot of points in Long Run he also has two x bonus now with 26 000 28 000 bonus and he collects it so he's almost at a million points right now about 20K bonus will hold over after he drains he's gonna alley pass no he goes for the drops now his saucers live for another extra ball almost gets it in there it is beautiful and into the saucer 30 million just like clockwork all right needs one more drop nice save gotta get that lower Drive Target a little early on there there it is lit again almost got 40 000 in bonus multiplied by two that will light the next level gets that bonus collect wow just a rich gets richer type situation for David here it'd be really interesting to see if he can get a 3X bonus here but he seems to have that saucer dialed in and the recovery also dialed in oh shoots it up top actual Loop never ceased to amaze me you watch a game like this the other players just training instantly oh man this thing's brutal man someone plays it for 10 minutes yeah how is this even possible and he is at 40 000 bonus 44 000 to be exact ly so that is more bonus that he is getting carried over to his next ball once this ball ends meets two more drop Targets on the uh one more drop Target on the left lower s Target once again literally using that shot to get it to the right foot yeah like he's literally playing drop catch sling hit right flipper oh and he gets it oh nice save wow saucer is lit for 49 times two bonus collect and an extra ball he just Nails it so he has surpassed his high score he got 1.5 basically in qualifying uh the top scoring qualifying was Tim uh Sexton with 2.5 basically or 2.493 very interesting but you know we're working on we're working towards 2 million who almost gets it all the way back up top I wonder how many points uh special would be worth if anything oh and it's gone it's all right amazing ball from David absolutely crazy seven wow battle for second place right now basically Zach sharp plunges his uh third ball all right two Xbox gets to play all right he gets to play just a little bit at least it's gonna do the same thing yeah he's gonna try to at least David showed him the way so he's like I'll do the same see what happens oh and he's gone did not work out no unfortunate for Zach sharp that was a tilt so we'll see some waiting I think uh I believe IPA rules for updated it's actually only a minute but we'll see that has to be enforced so I've always thought it was a minute oh I used to be like think two minutes oh interesting interesting all right and while we wait uh Derek and Esther have moved on from group two thank you oh Donna is just going into it he didn't set a timer or anything he did wait a little bit I think this has an ear plug all right I mean he doesn't say that on the machine though so yeah I mean Zack's tilt wasn't super crazy so that is true a little late on the saucer shot does have some drop targets complete and two exponents all right one more drop there you go oh unfortunate yeah he used the upper flipper to try to hit the target you saw it happen so he did he did pass Josh though Zach Zach sorry my bad I got that mixed up oh shame going to shame which is the president again it's Josh right yeah I know I'm just kidding redeem the cone of shame right now first Arvid going to oh another one oh wow oh okay well I mean he's getting two points and it's the punch-off victory for David yep David is going to fearlessness of Youth there yeah I'm gonna tap I'm gonna tap pass which I haven't done at all this game yeah at all and no one else is done third ball you get got another third ball like yeah I'm just gonna do it I mean if you think about it he's advancing no matter what yep so that's true so why not yeah you know maybe this will work later yeah get some information so David and Arvid moving on to the next round and unfortunately Zach sharp and John kremmer are out of Classics one there's Josh Sharpe now I always wondered this his third ball he hasn't shot yet yeah and a lot of times he'll just walk away and we'll go to the next game yeah isn't it technically illegal if you don't complete your game like he's still in a game yeah you're right he has he's supposed to plunge technically but I've seen it where like he's taking the scores right now I don't think he's gonna play right well Josh Sharpe walks by and he hasn't yeah he hasn't thrown a flag there's no challenge the red flag yeah there's I don't see any cars or flags from Josh Sharps I think it's okay but you're right you he should technically plunge it out and they just think that's cool because he could tilt right now he could slam till he could yeah uh there's a nice little look at uh most of the games in the classic bank that we play today we got meteor El Dorado we should do trivia or in the chat how many can you identify other than meteor uh there's El Dorado velocity of gold Jack's open Mars track Argosy is in there somewhere at the end it's kind of unfair here I mean I guess you can see the classics bank right now or turning my head yeah yeah it's like looks like they're still working on Stars oh come on please fix Stars it's one of the most streamable games there is it's true get the Stars like the spinner lots of Spenders yep everyone loves a good spinner rip they really do you tell one playing some old classic it'll take a feature from to put in his new game you see the rig in the background note the umbrella or glare protection great battles for rain protection I thought it had a lighting in it for us it's like man that's going to be distracting yeah right it's like no it's literally for glare protection it's for light it's for the glare on the machines the camera picks up glare that players don't see yeah and it's a lot cheaper than putting the what 300 no glare class in every game yeah or like doing something where if it's more on location you can like put black paper above your lights and stuff um but this is the convention center we can't we can't do that this is a good solution yeah so it looks like we're probably gonna be on we're gonna we're gonna be going to the next round uh it looks like it is Argosy put it there um I already let me see here yep it's Argosy Jermaine Kaylee George Adam levkoff and Robert Byers so Kaylee is at zero wow see I know both Jermaine and Kaylee because we're from the same area like Jermaine is just game three game three of their group wow Jermaine is two firsts already yeah he's uh he's looking good so really this is just a fun game for Jermaine yeah you know that's why he picked first right he'd get out of the way yeah the pinball etiquette there this is like a de-stress game for him for round two you know just hit the spinner feel good I wonder if you can pull an Owen that's what I call it when you're already ahead 8-0 and you win the third game anyway yeah yeah that's pulling an L win I think Alan will pull an L one this year oh oh my god wow alley passed through the gate into the area that is the danger uh that's the danger oh that's literally on The Bob Matthews guide uh to this game that was not good enough to be careful look look the gate was just like a tad bit slower it might have been safe Kaylee's walking out to his ball he's gonna plunge it we'll get the upper Lane he does yes he will spinner is lit as well we just sends it up top gets a drop Target in the process The Spinners lit again trapped on the left y nice I love those clicks man it's kind of like when you put a playing cards in your bicycle wheel yeah cruising down a hill that's true actually they thought the players liked him so much the first few of the solid state games they left the unit in there to make the click sound yeah nice nudges from Kaylee spinner is not lit but it's best to send it up top anyway it doesn't matter yeah it doesn't matter right and he gets the lane oh nice nuts is almost to Max bonus and he has two drops to get in order to lighten double bonus at the saucer I say he ignores it completely no yeah I don't blame him he said there we go Nas Max bonus the other good save now this is 10 000 right here yep oh double bonus is lit nice nudge to save the ball so let's see is it spinner is that Max bonus he's thinking about it yeah he's checking the shots here we go or misses sends it up top nine thousand all right oh he actually did uh he did a drop catch there yes yeah wow another ten thousand listener and the upper Lane he's gonna go for the saucer this time checking the shots again he did miss it slice now now first time was early second time was late gate is used sends it up top we've got the gate again yes you will oh okay and using it this is it again not a great shot on the spinner but oh a little squirrely that's that's look oh all right you got it give me the ball oh never got it back I don't think he would have went for the saucer again until he got the gate re-lit yeah yeah if I was in Kaley's shoes I would have just been hoping that the slingshots put it in the saucer so I don't know what bother on I think maybe four uh let's see if I can yeah I don't know it's hard to see I don't know because I think we were able to see the five when they were on five or maybe we were able to see the four or five when they were on yeah but now Asher's dad got the name they got the name wrong typo it's a typo all right we caught this game on Ball Four to start the first player so I don't know where we were because I was helping out okay yeah four or five all right I think it's uh four I don't think we've seen Robert play right all right yeah so we haven't seen escher's dad play either so as people point out Adam play all right spinner lit gets it uh it doesn't go all the way up top though and he does not have his gate open so getting it up there is top priority oh wow that was sketchy oh that's what happened all right here comes Robert Robert Byers of top row pinball if you like wrestling at pinball that is the stream for you twitch.tv slash top row pinball that's a little bit of a softer plunge and it oh almost pays off oh nice slap it's teasing them if I'm not mistaken he either owns or has owned an Argosy okay it's just really teasing him with that upper Lane yeah that was that wow wow okay all right gets to play he's good he's good going back up really wants it and who can blame him okay by the way it is possible to roll it open and force it open on this Argosy you can actually like force this open and it will stay open oh really that's probably another reason why people wanted to play this so like if you do like a really strong alley pass I didn't try the alley pass but I think you can because like if it just catching it it was able to force it open and stay open I think a strong alley pass would do it uh you could also get the really dangerous thing where you go all the way and then yeah he tap past that he did tap oh my goodness [Music] it's all coming up him for him now okay I did get confirmation he did own an Argosy okay that information came from one Jeff teolis thank you very much pinball profile oh and uh final round pinball podcast right yeah thank you uh yep sends it up top though will the lane tease him he does have Max bonus now and he does not get the gate oh no it did it came from underneath a bumper of Grace I'm still in shock over the top pass that was amazing it was pretty good all right that's another 10 000 points nice because only gotten one drop Target I'm wondering if he's gonna go for double bonus at all that's another tap pass wow and hits the spinner amazing play from Robert Byers traps up rips that spinner and another 10K oh all right past it again yeah wow oh my God three in a row if you're watching us at home I would say tap pass is far more dangerous than an alley pass oh yeah it looks way cooler though it looks way cooler but it's all touch he's got uh he's got double bonus lit I think he saw how safe that uh saucer was he might go for it but Ball's acting a little squirrely right now oh whoa a little half flip oh my goodness oh he didn't want to tilt though yeah it's a hundred thousand sure in the lead okay ball five Do or Die time yeah well not for Jermaine I guess yeah I meant for everyone you know I mean not for Jermaine or Kaylee but Adam and Robert really could use four points I mean uh I mean obviously like if Kaylee if Kaylee gets first place though yeah I know yeah that could be good for him so there's still there's still a little bit of a chance for Kaylee but he's got a three bring it in Jermaine plunges and gets the gate open some bonus oh nice safe nice safe yeah tries to send it up top but if you're not dead on with that spinner it's just gonna bounce up there and come back at you Bob is in the background ready to put in scores he's like oh come on let's get this round as the players finish the fifth ball look at him he's gonna be another sinking please don't make me open the coin door yeah I don't want to get a stuck ball not a lot of places where Bali gets stuck here though so praying the game doesn't break down yeah that would be really unfortunate at this point all five Jermaine ends with 520 000 points that are about or someone in it early turns it off yeah oh yeah that happened that happened at this arrogacy at in disc in uh high Stakes or you know the power just suddenly goes out nothing is possible catastrophic failures can happen the thing is this game doesn't Stave state so you're good you can always recover yep all right that's the benefit of Em's right the score score wheels just stay the same it's so weird seeing Kaylee with zero points I know it really is it really is especially because I think last um didn't he wins one yeah he won classic sport last year or two years ago two years ago the last in this we'll say the last Indus a little late to the spinner tries to get control dead bounce yeah yeah again late on the spinner uh I think he's going for the song for the sausage I don't it's not it's not lit is there something else very very interesting strategy yeah 67. yeah it looks like he's seven 67 67. yeah so he is ahead of Robert by a little bit but Robert could very well easily catch up with a few hint Anything Could Happen though you start with 10K so it's it's the same 20K The Dilemma anyways right now Adam's up now Adam usually wears headphones I wonder if he's got earbuds in yeah or earplugs and it'll be interesting to see tomorrow too um because we'll have the other side of the room I mean there's a wall but there are there's an opening see what the noise will be like but I think it'll be okay oh okay Gate's not open it sends it back up top and does not get the gate open it was a tease though got it now spinner is oh boy yeah yeah drain the ball so that is yeah last place for Adam yep it's not wow I can't see him I don't know who's at the machine y'all tell me yes Johnson is very happy with Robert Byers all right he's at uh thirty thousand bucks all right I think he got it yeah he's not gonna try to save it so Robert Byers gets first place putting him at eight points and Jermaine has eight as well so Jermaine has nine right uh yeah Jermaine has nine points so they move on and then Kaylee got thirds we got two points so he's tied with Escher because that's uh not Usher Usher's dad huh uh so does that mean the Kaylee and Adam levkoff have to do a tiebreaker um I don't think so because the play the payouts for the like 16 to 32 are all the same and I think what happens is also like the number of points you got in the round determine where you actually finish in terms of Whopper points for Whopper Point values right got it that's right once again we're here at the beautiful Riverside Convention Center in Riverside Southern California and you're watching in this Classics one playoffs we're about to move to the top 16 I believe that was the last game in the uh first round in the first round and I'm gonna look at my phone just for the results to see if uh yes so we have from group one we have David and Arvid advancing group two we have um Derek and Escher which Carl told us group three is Chris uh Robinson and Jeff teolis I don't know who that guy is um just kidding yeah and then uh we have Jermaine and we just saw Jermaine and Robert move on and then yes do you guys see anyone I don't know anyone Michael felt like a breeze behind me though it was weird Michael Riverside's haunted yes Michael and Tom uh Michael Ross and Tom Graf moving on from the uh group five group six will be Keith elwin I heard that I've heard of that guy and Travis Murray doesn't he designed games or something yeah the one right over my head right yeah exactly was it called like Gozilla or something like that yeah Gozilla and then uh group seven I want to call the it's like it's the it's the California group Luis and uh Raymond Raymond Ashby will be moving on maybe not to be a local SoCal player group eight we have uh Timothy Street and actually there's a tiebreaker to advance in group eight oh wait Bob Caldwell Caldwell and Nate Smith and I apologize if I got any ones or names wrong I'm sorry very interesting very interesting I'm Jonathan you can blame me I'm from I'm a local player around here I'm Alex I'm Ron uh I'm from Seattle you know I'm from Albany New York yay that's far away man how was your flight here away that's fine we got out I got up for the snow wow oh nice that's good so I think we're gonna see a tie breaker and Jack's open it looks like oh that's gonna be it until ends the game behind us hello oh there he goes coin door very gently very gently get the key get it locked all right so this game is the the clue that gave this game away was uh I think it was 75 or three out of four because in this game you want three of the four top Lanes any three because when you basically as you get these top Lanes it will start lighting the different things here and if you have three of them you basically have lit everything I believe for points including this bumper I think but if you get four it resets so oh very yeah so it's in the Playfield so it would go on the left flipper yes and definitely don't want to try to nudge it out I guess the game where tilt ends games like no not touching I'm not touching that especially on ball one all right now we got to see Bob do the like bomb uh I mean it is zero points so I guess if you were gonna slam till this would be the ideal situation ball one player one zero points I definitely don't have any experience tilting ball one on this game at all never done it before never never never uh I pinball at the lab where this game was used uh that was streamed as well people did tilt this yeah I don't know about ball one I think I saw like one on ball three um in terms of what you want to do uh you know you want to get your it's like one of those card based games that you want to get to two of what's a pair three of a kind Full House and then straight and as you can see these correspond to the drop truck is up here but really going up if you going uh sorry plunging the punching the lit Lane until you have three of them is really really what you want because they will stay this game remembers your state up here um for all the balls oh he's putting it back in the plunger so that's ruled as not in the uh Carl Carl's like no what okay because that entered the Playfield oh it didn't hit a switch though it didn't that's true yeah because now I know he gets a free chance at a lane yeah exactly I don't I don't don't yell that's interesting pop that's interesting oh Bob no no yeah no no I agree because I have Mike to yell at him he's got it I had the same thing yeah I had the same thing through the PA Bob no no do you want me to go over there okay it's too late you know we're still trying to put it on he has yeah Carl's gonna run over there lock bars and on Run Carl run don't worry it'll take him two minutes to close the coin door so we're good that's not right the ball has entered the Playfield So It Goes On The Flipper even without a switch that's that should be the correct because if he plunges he gets he gets a shot at least yeah and that will light something oh what's going on oh it tilted what was that what happened it tilted like when he plunged I think okay so that we were wrong it didn't get stuck it wait it did get stuck and it tilted I'm confused maybe when he closed the Coit door tilted oh is that the slam tilt this is a zero point did he player one slam tilt either way I mean he made no notes whatsoever yeah yeah he plunged in he just stopped the thing is pop knows that rule he explained it to everyone in my game when I got Foursquare thoughts plus he never touched the game after that Bob touched the game that's true uh by the way shout outs I'm going to uh Tech or TD is working on your game and uh they close the glass and stuff if the ball starts moving uh you should not assume control if you assume control and the ball you lose the ball that's it if it drains while you uh and you haven't touched it you will get a compensation ball that's good to know saw that ruling happen uh that person learned that rule yesterday interesting uh because Jay Collins closed it and the ball got unstuck and you try to take over flip Thrice drain the ball and there's no compensation ball but you know sometimes you want to try for depending upon the game you're playing sometimes you might want to do it because the competition will ball will be on a fresh new game right and that may make you lose all your progress so the game was Foursquare I didn't see what his state was though so I don't know if he had all the like you know the he collected how many sets of four he had all right so we're talking about right now what's to happen they're gonna drain it I think they're gonna try to reset this and just make sure it advances okay oh old games stuff happens they can be finicky that's for sure this is a great game though I wouldn't really know I don't have a much experience I have 8 000 points worth of experience very good that's all right I gotta remember that one that's all right we got uh three out of four that's all you need to know 75 you have three of those lanes and that lights all this stuff and then honestly I think you could even do like these sort of shots like on Jungle Queen slash jungle princess and just get like when they're lit just collect those points all right we now have the game in the correct State we just need to get the glass on okay step one complete now we need to get the lockdown bar on very very carefully here and then close the door very very carefully oh no he needs to reach under and pull up on the lockdown bar lock there there he is he just did that play by play here closing the door using the coin door very generally down like literally yes kneeling down all right he's locking it up another thing you could do is tape the slam till switch so it can't go off then you wouldn't have to worry about any of this yeah but then the players can't slam till and get dqed from the round that's true really there's no use for a slam tail switch in a tournament exactly there is no use I know I know in my tournaments in my house I I just have all the slam Tails taped it's a good idea it can't happen all right he is he's walking away from the machine and I guess he'd be really upset if you had the slam toe you could bash the coin door so it just resets and it makes you feel good maybe yeah all right all right getting those drops oh they reset they collected the Two Jacks nice now he collects the three queens they will the same thing happened and then you notice how it lit these right yeah yeah that's the other thing after a delay like that to actually get a few flips in is a win thrilled honestly yeah worst thing is when you have to wait oh no oh oh yeah by the way yes sorry very very unique thing about Jack's open we got to talk about this I think there's that racing game that's like this too um but yeah if you cradle up you can uh call it the Cradle cradle trumpetized where you guys uh you think of Grand Prix yeah Grand Prix that was it thanks you got two oh and he's gone but he got he got two lanes he has two lanes just get he just needs one of those ones in the middle yeah you got it there you go everything is lit as you can see well almost everything the outlanes aren't lit but let's not actually that lanes are sort of lit I think the lights are sort of weird but you don't really want to outlane let's not go for as well oh actually I forgot you could save these outlines yeah there's a little post it's just that tilt ends the game so on ball five go nuts okay you don't want it no that's fine you don't know he's good he's good you want to keep these things lit also it's like get lit but don't complete right this is uh this the the three out of four 75 that was the trivia clue ah all right what ball are we on four okay four five no one five our last ball for Bob called Caldwell sorry if I mispronounce that name 65 000. oh my oh wow wow but you know 65 that could it could be enough we'll see yeah he got three out of four he just didn't get too many of the lit Lanes but I can't remember I didn't I didn't get the state actually sorry I got this date but I was too scared to try these shots so I have no idea if they were 65 760 I think that's a six all right so now Nate Smith is uh walking up to the game yeah that was six our director might be able to put the score on the overlay no he's Studio mode is broken foreign there's another Lane just needs one more Lane since it's back up top but it's on the Rock side of the Playfield uh almost gets one of those lit side Lanes needs to hit um the Jacks well yeah one more Jack Target yeah there you go so it is possible yeah yeah that makes sense but that one wasn't lit so it wasn't worth much is cradled on the left and he died but it did tilt so that's fine so he's halfway there thereabouts yeah see how the plunge is here right just need one lane and then just keep the ball alive yeah oh no now it resets and you see now it reset all his lights are gone and he only has the inlanes these are gone yeah Oh that's oh nice save though good read on that Ball's trajectory wow remember there's nothing here you can drain oh yeah sending it back up top would be uh the best option right now you want to get those Lanes even though the pop-ups keep locking them top bumpers can also help you you know they're nice big oh okay wow so we're at ball four and he needs about 14 000. players definitely seem Uber paranoid about tilting yeah I mean you've got this you guys take their hands off like if they feel like they can't do anything and almost got a second lane so he's within 10 000 right now some pop-ups with didn't uh Bob get 65 000 67 67 okay I think total 65 but you know oh he's up top this looks great oh you didn't get the light one more tension the pump over though yeah no all right so we gotta plunge the lit one and that should do it because that'll be five thousand and he has to beat what score 67 I think and he's got it he's got he's gonna get 69 right now here we go nice yeah you could just let that go just don't uh don't chill don't tell well actually tilting does it nothing's fine don't slam till I think it's final one player game right the slam two he's asking if he's good and yeah yep he's good and he's gonna walk away another interesting ruling good time slam tilt it right at the end was that a DQ or does it not matter because he already passed uh I think if it was a multiplayer game it would matter in a one player game it would not I think in a multiplayer game that would matter I think it's possible to be dq'd yeah because any wife discourse everyone else right what happens if you're player four no if you're player four I think that is you still get dq'd yeah because you get a zero you finish last slash get a zero depending on the rules I love all these new nuances of nuances oh yeah I don't know these are things I think about too because I'm wondering like because I run tournaments what happens sometimes all right yes the assistant you can see everybody who's Advanced uh we just watched Nate beat Bob and then we're gonna go to the top 16 and I'm gonna guess we're going to follow the top group and you can see the automatic uh for assignment so just to read off everyone who has Advantage is going to be David real Arvid fly gear Derek price Escher left cough Chris Grosvenor sorry if I mispronounced any of these names by the way uh Jeff teolis Jermaine Mariola Robert Byers Michael Roush Tom Graf Keith elwin Travis muri and there's an announcement going on I don't know if you guys can hear us that well or not this is for a Marco giveaway that they're doing right now for people who filled out a survey yes I did not fill out the survey I was focused on well there are there's a survey every day I think yeah and there's also a survey for the stream that we have advertised that works for all of indisk yes and I filled out both they're very interesting they have different questions there's a lot of like how do you consume pinball content on stream and you how do you what decide what event to go to basically oh interesting foreign ER that's a pretty good prize yeah yeah I would go for the banner like the banner I would also go for the banner because I have a couple translates have neither Banner nor translate but it depends on the game let's go for money I mean like that's well I mean I would just like the banner because it'd be unique I have a couple translates one to Godzilla translate so I like that one [Music] sorry I knew Godzilla I should say right I actually uh directed A launch party for Godzilla at an arcade in my area we had I think 67 people show up wow it was a fun tournament yeah that's awesome we all see seven people yeah yeah and this is also like the same day as we do our weekly so it was kind of like a weekly tournament but also the launch party gotcha but even when it wasn't like a like a launch party tournament to that location would get around 40 to 60 people a week during that time period yeah Seattle's huge for pinball yeah that makes sense it's definitely a Lee I spot on the West Coast that in Portland for sure yeah the Pacific Northwest yeah I think they're done on the microphone so to continue those who have advanced to the top 16 uh it is going to be Luis wagon sauner Raymond Ashby Timothy Street and last but not least Nate Smith you can see on the screen all the standings for round one those 16 players will be advancing to round two of classic one finals and I'm gonna guess we're gonna watch the top group and if we do it will be Jermaine Chris uh grovensnor Michael Roush and Jeff teolis Jeff doing much better I think this year than last year I think he um he pointed out I think last year in classic Target match play he finished 117 out of 120 sorry Less in disc wow ending uh this year already better in this at least in this tournament I don't know what he finished in classic Target match play I guess I could look it up I'm gonna guess he did better than 117th interesting that was great like I finished 28th if I finish first instead of third in the last game I would have been tied for 12. wow I wonder how I did at the classic Target match play I didn't really uh I can't pull it up all of a sudden hmm I got like a compensation ball and prospector which house ball oh really sucks all right so classic Target match play now I'm not proud of this but I got I can find my name I got 83rd uh I had how many points did I have in that tournament 17 points yeah I was I think around there I think I had 20 and then Adam McKinney won this year the classic Target match play tournament we saw that last night was it party monsters it was party animals party animals yeah spell party animals for that multiball the first of the trilogy can you name the other two uh Dr dude and the party zone is that correct princess oh AKA junk two-player Jungle Queen um all right so we have Jermaine Jeff teolis really want to plunge the B Because if you notice the A and the C are here but where's b b is only here and uh ABC gives you double bonus interesting that's good to know um clearing these drops are really important not only to add to your bonus but if you clear like all these drops it will light this little thing here and this one also will light this for 5000 and of course you can do the go a lot you can go up here and come back down pretty easy for 10K a pop you got the B all right yep drain plunged and got to be perfectly those saucers are also a good tournament strategy because it's like decent points and the return is pretty generous usually and the drop targets are monkeys you want to kill as many monkeys as possible gets the C just needs a for double bonus oh nice nice bounce into the sauce all coming up Jermaine oh almost got that in lane for the a that's a standard the tournament thing to go grind out points there first we did the bank of drop targets only has two more on the left this is now lit for five thousand he just got it I'm gonna get it stays lit yeah I'd be pretty angry at that too I know did he tilt I don't I don't think so I'm gonna find interesting about this game is whether the player uses the upper flippers or not oh yeah I might not use that before yeah I don't uh Jeff Sheila is looking at the Playfield intensely I get criticized by that by a lot of SoCal players they're like they're there for a reason I'm like yeah they're for reason to make you drain notice Celebrity Jeopardy player Turd Ferguson on his shirt plunges the B very good very nice and if you can see there's a no uh that says play extra ball so if any anyone gets an extra ball they are able to play it but unfortunately you just feels drains down the center thirty two thousand to three thousand right now the Tilt is pretty generous on this so I think you'll see a lot of Center drains because it's very savable yes here and here yes lots of hot easy 100 lots of 100 000 plus scores on this there will actually be a light right here that lights right here when you you don't roll it but when you get to a hundred thousand you do roll it but there'll be a light that will light for to indicate a hundred thousand very interesting um you know you can also use the upper flipper to guide it down here that's also pretty cool that's what I see a lot of people do and you can also you know take shots like there I honestly don't like game stopper flippers so this game scares me but I always play it because I really like the shoot the drop targets down to get this lit I don't know something about that really oh no Lanes at all that's not good yeah and oh you got to see at least I was pretty good keep playing yup get some drops just kind of flipping using the upper flippers uh okay four drops four bounces and a nudge into the outline very unfortunate for Jermaine but it 40 000 points ahead of uh Jeff Shield is for now so and it's uh five balls it is a five ball game though Anything could happen oh gets the B very nice just like we drew it up nice pop up or into the saucer very nice all right he's using the upper flipper man he's just kissing those drop Targets on the left side there nice save on the right one more one more drop one more oh who kisses it let me partially bricked yeah after me saying how Godly targets never break yeah wow what's that delayed curse over here you can see it was pushed back slightly but not enough for it to actually go down all right well now oh bummer yeah once you have these lit you definitely want to try to do the like go up and come down yeah because that's what ten thousand points ten thousand points yeah that's pretty valuable on a game like this where it rolls at a hundred thousand yep uh so we're going into I think this is all three yeah yeah Jermaine up next and then 23 south of course after this we'll see Michael and Chris play yeah that's only a two-player game uh Jungle Queen is the four player version of this game it's the same rules same Playfield I believe uh but you know oh nice B nice plunge jungle princess has less reels to maintain so you'll see it more I think in tournaments okay nice give me those drops nice nudge there on the left behind scores another drop oh wow I can see what you mean with those upper flippers being kind of dangerous yeah you really gotta know I think or just have a lot experience I mean I'm I don't know I don't use them scared same with Sinbad no Lanes all of them missed every lane I hate it when that happens absolutely nothing okay good progress on the drops though good nudge yeah it's not like Party Zone uh that's a hurricane hurricane oh you win absolutely enough yeah after it spins around and around it's possible to get both of them all right one more on the right one more on the left good nudge very good nudge oh just a little oh getting a little squirrely over here yeah so oh okay so the danger of the when the drops are all down like this hitting that is much more dangerous yeah because it's just rubber oh it's rubber the return is like everything's lit extra balls lit on the uh on the right yeah so if you're gonna drain you might as well drain there drain properly yeah drain with skill he's going for it almost got it I like it got it almost got that one no extra ball for you unfortunate I think the extra ball moves with uh certain hits I don't know which ones though maybe the maybe the pop bumpers yeah that would make sense because he was hitting the slings right and they didn't move or yeah these and he hit the ones behind here all right was his ball four it's four I believe yeah you'll know it's fall five because double bonus will be lit at the beginning of the ball all right so it's important to have a ball five on Jungle Queen which I cannot do no Lane three times today oh no Lanes but some drops yeah okay there's good save all right get to see still in the lead by 30 000 points so you know but I mean there's two other players Behind These players that is true that is true you never know how they're gonna do yeah exactly so you got to play like you know like you need a lot of points but you know focus on what you do know you know you're ahead of your current opponent that's true you don't want to get in your own head and then make your own play worse you know what I mean yeah that's a good point uh so Jeff needs what 30 to catch up but it's only about four thirty thousand and two hundred no lanes for Jeff teolis and it's a house fall brutal so I think the thing about Jungle Queen by the way is it has a zero ball switch like safe like if you hit no walls no switches you'll get the ball back but only on ball one interesting uh this is a bob Matthews trivia thing he told us all the captains once because it happened and we all couldn't figure out why what happened and it was like he's like it only gives you it on ball one and even even if he you know if you hit no switches on ball two you're out of luck yeah but only about one you get it back when he did drain out the outline so oh yeah that one I know yeah I was just uh when this is uh you know in trivia and that's the clue you guys all know now oh gets the piece but I mean this double bonus literally does as long as he got one you start out with double bonus for free on ball five very nice but getting the lanes also does add bonus so it's good either exactly that's why he just needed any Lane oh yeah uh does hitting each drop give you bonus yes okay well that's the end of Jermaine's game 85 000 even Jeff tiller was basically having to double his score on ball five in order to catch up to him all right he also has double bonus it is ball five oh I almost got the role of proceed almost oh no oh no yeah that's it all right 56 85 and 56. yep I'm gonna write it down in my phone so we have it when we talk about the uh next two players so uh Jermaine has 85. and Jeff has what uh 56 56 56 uh 510 okay all right so here comes uh Michael and Chris and uh tilt just ends your ball on this not their game that's good but you gotta be careful to tilt through because yeah that's very true so Michael going to plunge and he gets no Lane ouch absolutely nothing got some drops though oh dead pop over there yeah yeah oh nice gets the B that's huge oh he's gonna use those upper flippers nice 5 000. just kind of barely touching those drop targets so they're moving but they're not dropping yeah you really gotta smack them good okay nice save another drop another drop Target or Michael really good saves yeah he's got this ball alive oh that was interesting he used a flipper to tip it over and do a dead pass yeah I wonder if that's consistent or not oh what a day good dig and he gets more drops on the Left Bank two drops on each side now one drop on the right side Michael is just doing a phenomenal job keeping the ball alive so the right side lane is lit for five thousand a rollover oh bummer well that's a that's a good start for Michael's got 29 470 points ball one Chris walking up so I mean that's pretty much half of Jeff's score yeah pretty much yeah there's ten points yeah oh wow that would have been given back because it was about one do not clip that do not reply sounds like reverse psychology no this is like the fourth time I've seen that happen in Jungle Queen jungle princess oh nice plunges into the B Lane and gets the drops more drops drops drops drops it's probably harder to do than anything it is hit a 10-point switch nothing else and drink no I'm very amazed that I've seen this multiple times the Jungle Queen jungle princess it's really weird It's gotta be like a rubber that has us like just a 10 point switch somewhere yep see it's one more drop on the right yep it's kind of playing loose and on the Fly here seems to be working out wow getting those 5 000 saucers is huge very huge all right oh all right seven um he's already passed Jeff with two balls so second place right now for Michael and we have oh okay all right Here Comes Chris no lanes for Chris but it's not a house ball this time it's at least alive oh okay that would have been worth 10 000 points if the lanes were lit but they are not but he's making good progress on the drop targets yep all right everyone seems to be using the upper flip there's a lot no I'm pretty sure they're there for a reason like I get chided by all the SoCal players but they're there for oh unlucky but that's another thing I've been saying too you know you use them just a little bit incorrectly and uh and that's why that's why I don't use them but that's also why I'm here and not yeah exactly because I played this game three times in my cards and I couldn't I couldn't clear 100K it sucked I didn't even play in Classics okay try to gentler plunge oh he got oh oh two letters and gets to be amazing amazing plunge that is what you want ouch maybe the dead bounce there instead I don't know 69. thousand ball what three yeah and jermain's at 85. yeah you know I think a half plunge will guarantee you a letter okay all right there we go B Lane plunge from Chris that's what you want nice I save but it's still a little squirrely and hitting those pop bumpers directly from the flippers is just asking for trouble oh yeah okay all right uh nice nudge he has to see that's one way to do it gets to see you again and to be just needs a for double bonus that would be uh you know that'd be huge seven thousand plus easy right now oh it finishes the left side drop the light is out it looks like yes but that's 5000 right there yep it counted five all right that's good that's good and it's back on okay all right he's getting extremely lucky with his uh bounces on the on the on this Bank yes yeah he's 100 skill all good one more drop trying to get oh so close and with that I mean he's almost caught up to Jeff too so it looks like Jeff's gonna get last yeah barring a slam tilt but we'll see I mean I guess it's only ball is this ball four this is Ball Four absolutely nothing except the drop Target yeah there [Music] yeah you might want to wait he's gonna wait 72 000 though uh Jermaine's at 85 so he needs though uh Michael needs 13 to catch their main on his last ball with double bonus though it's super possible it is definitely very doable and right now uh if he plunges it it's okay it's pretty much guaranteed now that uh he'll pass Jeff nice nice nudge just needs the a for double bonus and he's past Jeff he should be a double bonus the light's just not working yes I mean I hope so really great play here from Chris started with 10 points and now he's uh clawing his way back up top really valuable saucer right there oh okay let's see so he is 72 and so give him 18 so that would be 90. all right so Jermaine uh not Jermaine Michael wants to get 91 000 or more in order to have a chance at first place here the costume needs to get to uh 85. that is true so currently Michael went from second to third yeah oh gets that in Lane he needs to be though it's a double bonus but oh wait double spots all five so double bonus is lit by default so really you want to drop targets or saucers but do saucers Advance bonus no but then they're five thousand and it only needs uh well not only needs another five thousand he gets true he's caught to remain on bonus I believe oh now he definitely caught them so no Michael is sitting in first place but the first one is yeah this is you know yeah it could be a house fall though who knows yep we've seen it happen a few seconds a few switches it happened to me on every of all five so I hope it doesn't happen to anyone else I don't want to see it on stream oh my god oh is he gonna get it he got a flip oh oh wow extremely close game of jungle princess that will be Michael Chris Jermaine Jeff somehow you know that point will come into play I know right I know later on well it's kind of like missing an extra point yeah yeah exactly all right all right here are the uh together we're trying to get the second round standings of the class there we go quarterfinals looks like Escher got first on nine ball in the other group three and four are not done yet but they are playing Argosy and stargazer so we're seeing some more Argosy action Stargazer yes the game's fun Stargazer once again hello again hello you're joining us we are at Riverside Convention Center Southern California it is indis 2022 and this is Classics one uh finals this is the top 16. we'll be uh going to the round of eight pretty soon one not pretty soon game one of three uh 4210 scoring uh I'm Jonathan I'm Alex I'm Ron and we'll be commentating I think Stargazer is always moving in I don't know Kyle's moving the rig right now so we're gonna get some more uh pinball action behind us is the open you can see some of the games there okay he's moving it to not Stargazer I don't see we can see him even more Argosy please Stars oh oh oh no it's not Stars either Argosy all right everyone top all day thank you Matt robottom everybody get ready for spinner on the right and the top uh what do you call that rollover or upper Lane yeah this is Argosy so I could see as far as the eye can see yep instead of Classics one final this will be the Argosy final yeah I think it's the most streamed game so far yes for sure do you love Spinners this is the game for you I like Spinners but I I like double Spinners more than single Spinners got it I like three Spinners oh so you like Godzilla then don't you oh yeah all right so oh he got it and opened the gate oh Robert Byers he's going to show us how to tap pass yeah this is uh what ball is this this is not ball one we're somewhere in the middle of the game nice Tower crazy recovery there from a sketchy tap pass from Robert Byers bonus is still a little low wants to get that gate into the saucer good feed got to drop a nice recovery that was a hefty nudge though I try to get control and chill out doubt sends it back up top interesting nice that was really clean a little shoot on the fly but now we're gonna chop up here and want to see a tap pass to the spinner that's what I want to see yes he's got that down you can just hear people in the background and Chad just saying dude a tap pass yeah exactly I think Carl has that knee mode [ __ ] I wonder if he's gonna hit the spinner I know he tried okay another tap pass got it that's nice and the spinner is lit it's always nice when the Spinner's lit and you just rip it yeah that was a little to the right you didn't get all of it oh lower left yep okay it's okay it's at 70 000 in bonus right now nice tap pass and he hits the spinner again a little off to the right uh okay all right Spinner's not lit but let's see he's gonna hit it again go up top all day or you want that bonus Advance right up there's a bunch of bonus events the rollovers Advance the bonus these Advanced the bonus oh I see and this advances the bonus so there's three opportunities to advance the bonus and you can also get multiple ones and he's already maxed it out yeah now this is ten thousand oh and he got a drop Target oh no so one more drop will light here the double bonus exactly that's what I would be going for but it's also very risky to go for the drop Target I don't know I think uh with his tap passing and Spinner like that's the way to go he's just spending all his time up there hey that's the way it's like a rainbow up top all day oh I almost got that drop Target traps up on the left we're going spinner spinner not not getting any luck with that upper Lane though I respect it oh it's lit it's lit he's getting greedy 200. oh nice save I respect it he got it double bonus he was like so happy that he thought he almost didn't like recover the ball it looked like he was so happy like hopping that's 200 000 is going to Robert Fires at the end of his ball as long as he doesn't tilt as long as he doesn't oh he went for the Target he went for the Target I really like extra balls this is hype I think he's just tired of tap passing all day he wants something new and exciting in his life well I mean the thing is he needs oh well he's not in first yet oh snap extra ball is lit but there's no sign to play your extra ball so maybe it's just a good chunk of points yeah I know we'll see if he gets it all right that's the gate you I would go up top yeah you better go up top now gotta get oh my goodness the extra ball is now lit on this Lane oh he's still going for drop targets extra ball do we get to play it what's happening yeah yes Carl says yes Carl says yes this is really good for Robert Byers we're looking at a roll he's confirming that's 91 right yes that is a 91 918 420 points very nice gets the plunge gates open everything our buyers has this game dialed in already at 30 000 and 40 000 in bonus spinner is not lit but the gates open it's gonna send it up top just like that uh to spend as much time as he can up there look out gate is open oh that's the inlaid pass time no he went for the top okay early on the spinner gate has been used oh I mean not quite a roll but oh yeah this is ball four needs 6 600 points in order to roll the game and here we have Travis Miri walking up to the game he has six six hundred twenty four thousand seems like yep currently in second it's getting these bonus advances but he hasn't opened the gate yet oh there we go from the bottom I love it yeah and he's used it but I mean he gets the flip and go back up top and he gets it all right literally on the slipper he has Max bonus one drop Target is down ball is kind of just going wherever it wants it's trapped up on the left flipper now Spinner's lit Spinners ripped ten thousand if he gets the center in the lane the upper Lane oh ten thousand free ten thousand right there back on the left shoots it up top a little early gets a drop Target though good progress for double bonus he's gonna spin it a little late there's a little shimmy around the saucer nice nudge and if I get that spinner oh good nudge sends it back up top it seems like he's completely ignoring the drop targets for double bonus which you know it's probably the size of the drop catch that is a drop catch well oh wow he got it back yeah but now it's only one drop on that bank one drop nice catch all right that's the saucer okay good return turns nice and he he's going for that drop yeah he's going for it he's shaking his head when he missed it late again using the gate send it up top uh oh nice nudge up top I tried to backhand that drive that was risky all right I mean it's I guess it's possible to tap pass to the right if you really want to drop yeah I would get the game is he thinking about it I think he's thinking about alley pass he's missed it like three times I wouldn't alley pass either you can go over and the thing is you still have to hit the saucer too yeah I know so you might you want that game reload your gate and it'll give you ten thousand because you'll rule you already have could you theoretically back oh alley pass four times I don't think there's enough Force ah yeah that's probably that's probably true it's lit so now is the time pass to the left I would say so or alley pass carefully I would tapass oh yeah alley passes you're actually almost up in the gate yeah I saw the light kind of blink on a little bit Spinners lit too oh oh oh nice nudge that's danger he's safe always getting points off the spinner saucer or spinner or spinner one of these which ones are going to be thinking about it oh it goes for the saucer and the game wasn't open that's why you go for the gate man I mean he's at 9 20 right yeah I mean that was a good ball that was a good ball yeah now we have Luis walking up she has I believe 177 000 it looks like uh Luis from NorCal Bay Area married to uh Eric wow wagon's honor the sixth runner up in 2019. and I think did she win women's if she won women's that same year yeah like the next day almost almost got the gate on the plunge but missed it oh okay nice it's one drop Target lit spinner is ripped almost has Max bonus been really lucky with those rollovers okay rips the spinner once again but doesn't go all the way around top wow nice save Paul is out of control right now send the back up top guys gets the gate is now open oh no but unfortunate grain out the right outline all right Arvid put on that music or headphones sorry yeah maybe it's noise canceling I try to tell myself it's like chance metal or something it could be I mean uh Derek told me Derek told me what he listened to and I already forgot although there's not wearing headphones gate is not open for our vid yet he's just trying to get a control flip there you want Spinners lit Spinner's ripped I think it's a gay beautiful word oh he went Hot Shots yeah halfway to Max bonus nice rollovers oh bummer let's hit the left yeah that was interesting my bad all right Robert Byers ready to plunge and roll the game this is ball five it's ball five ball five plunge just a little softly and gets the game beautiful work gets a drop Target oh and he's gone but he rolled the game he did roll the game congratulations to Robert right there one million uh 29 200 score on Argosy which we've seen a lot today we have we have transferee walking up for his ball five he is close behind Robert Byers with 920 000 representing one of many pinball podcasters yes there's a bunch they should have their own little like division they have like a name tag hi I am on these podcasts it's like a seniors division there should be a like a podcast division you have to pick like a home podcast and then you get yeah present them all right here we go all right just kind of just kind of you know tickles it a little bit I don't think he scored any points off of it oh he's the drop Targets this skate is not open was that drop maybe he was trying to go or he's trying to go up I think he was trying to go up yeah flipped the last one yeah all right he's just not having any luck up top I mean his bonus has increased a little bit but will not cooperate that gate is what you want almost got to open the other way nice sauce oh that was a dangerous sausage yeah very sketchy uh return oh oh and he's gone he has some accuracy issues that Paul did not roll the game 996 000 now Robert's still in the lead all right Luis Travis isn't a strong second place though yes no definitely but he would have preferred the extra two points yes I'm sure oh most definitely all right does not get back get the bonus Advance uh-oh house fall for Louise big bummer gonna get last um oh yeah yeah it's just game one I mean it still sucks but you know I mean you know two fours just two firsts I mean I mean I've seen you know Ray they do it local player Johnny Monica that's uh that's his style you get the last on the first game and then just two firsts and then it's okay yeah you're just giving everyone else a head start yeah right Johnny's a fun guy like that I did a lot of my local tournaments you know I just have a house ball one and then give them a head start for those watching at home we have kept Johnny away from the streaming equipment so do not worry he's busy playing and trying to recover his pinballs he came back from Europe and he his joke is he left his pinball skills in Europe he's trying to refine them um I finished ahead of him in classic Target match play so I'm sure all right Arvid plunging and not getting too soon Arvid really wants to uh roll the game right now that's his that's his main goal step one would be getting to 100 000 bonus all right for the drop wow went for the Dropbox it looked like bomber I mean that that is a third place for Arvid yeah I mean he gets a point yes a singular point for Arvid that was a good game of Argosy from Robert Byers Travis Mary Louise wagensauner and Arvid flygar Robert Byers takes the win followed by Travis followed by Arvid followed by Luis funny thing about Louise I'm not it's not a funny thing but interesting thing about Luis and Eric um you know if they're married and they have a kid and um so because of that they trade off who goes to tournaments oh interesting so uh for those of you watch pins and pirates that was a tournament of a couple weeks ago Eric came to that one and he helped me out on the mic it was thanks again Eric um and so you know so that went to Eric wouldn't be an in-disk and Luis will be at Indus right right and their kid I think is I want to say five um probably already better than me uh the kid Can Alley pass is what I've been told wow so I already yeah exactly and we like to take this down time to thank our sponsors for the event scorebit which has most of their uh Hardware installed on these games for easy score keeping color DMD and pinball monk color DMD specializing in color dmds and pinball monk in mods such as flipper fans we'd also like to thank captions auction Warehouse coin taker which is the

both bounties on games that will get you 100 bucks and another challenge that give you challenge coins so yeah achievements all around it in disc you can always come down and join us yep we're going to be qualifying for the Open high stakes and Maine continues tomorrow sorry open main sorry main slash Open Women's and high stakes continues tomorrow with a modified ROM which we'll talk about if someone gets a 72 000 if someone gets here we'll talk about it but it don't so one thing I noticed I played this game in the match play tournament yesterday and one thing I noticed that you really want to get that saucer in the middle because it it uh I think the lights are spinner I'll like the Spinners yes um this is also a game about he's just he's going for the bonus multiplier here which I think is backhandle on most most dicks um so you know as you see how these symbols are changing you want to fill this out and but you want to fill out like tic-tac-toe rides like this yeah or the diagonals so sometimes like see how he has circles now they're all eyes so now they're back to triangles so that's good yep although this one here is is this so it's probably uh not great yeah you know these are these are much safer you went for it he went for it I respect it and the stream probably respects it yeah wow he's going for it he is going on the stream loves you but I don't know wow so there we go 9 000. germane with basically no fear so when you're seeing Arrow like this it means clearing the bank gives you points but doesn't like fill out your card if you want to fill out the card to basically get this bonus because it's held over so if he gets a 72 000 right now it'll be like the rest of his balls have 72 000. ah the alley pass through A Series of Unfortunate Events do you understand the modified ROM yes yes uh I can get to it but with someone's at 72 000 they can collect sets of this this or this and it gives them different points and the points are written up here so it's big game uh sort of yeah because normally when you get a 72 000 collecting these sets the sets on the here like don't do anything or the modified ROM sort of adds an extra end game uh thing that you might want to do but I'm pretty sure when someone gets to 72 000 they're still going here until they get to whatever 4X and then maybe we'll see the uh this come into play but first we have to see somebody get to 72 000. um this was at our league for a while it was very popular uh shout outs to Jay and Mission Control Jay Collins and Mission Control the uh in Santa Ana all right Jeff tielos takes the plunge and misses both lanes and the saucer power in Lane so let's see what what's he gonna do going for the drops I like it but now the now the symbols are different uh we'll get a saucer lights uh The Spinners are lit sort of intermittently yeah oh but he's on all um eyes so that's great I mean you can try to complete the eyes or shoot a spinner what is it gonna be it's going for the eyes that's a good ball one thing you want to build your boat all right so he really needs you know any of these unfortunately they're all triangles and now the Spinners are not lit this is the worst position this is jail time yeah points jail is what we call it here in pinball land I mean he can start filling these in it's just uh yeah not I mean I I would probably go for a spinner I mean it won't be points but the roll card right now you're hoping that you go for a spinner get the pops and hope you get the eye right yeah exactly exactly any one of those squares will give you a completion and give you 9 000 and you start building the bonus that's probably a good plan I would probably go for a spinner here too I wouldn't try to fill in the the okay this is great so shoot any of the lit uh stand up drops for your Center oh he's going for the dead center I love it the stream loves these I don't know oh backs of triangles oh boy oh boy back to eyes don't drain okay okay immediately because he got this and this that's two oh snap wow 45 oh my goodness it's all about this right here I believe look at the 72 right off of that oh I think he was trying to multiply it yeah that's probably a good plan actually that's a safer plan yeah really smack that ball though yeah it's easier on the backhand usually hit it one more time to multiply maybe oh nice there we go oh I'd I'd be happy with that to be honest so the first time is just five thousand points yeah that's two three four yeah and then special and then 25 a pop all right Michael walking up really good ball one from Jeff who needs it you know with zero points yeah Michael in the lead here with four points all right seems like rules knowledge is really important on this game specifically this is one of the more complicated Classics I would say in this Bank uh big game is another one although there there's some shortcuts of the game well she can talk about if we get there oh nice that's right there next hit will be 2x but he has no bonus right now but you know he's got a lot of triangles oh boy oh oh nice Diggy panicked there with that uh flip but worked out all right it's got lit spinners oh nice ribs that's good too yeah real good so SoCal loves their uh Spinners that's the pro tip I have for anyone who comes to tournaments okay 2X bonus another rip spinner doesn't like grip Spinners I'm just saying like the Spinners will be Juiced at every SoCal tournament you play in all right I'll keep that in mind Jim and Jay uh who set up a lot of the games really like spinners so here's a little Bingo board Tic Tac Bingo board is looking a little sparse right now all right he's at 3x bonus he really wants to complete one of these because right now he's not getting anything with this multiplier he's literally getting zero it's zero times three x is a zero without triangles so you know he could shoot oh no but yeah that's that's it I mean he's really close to Jeff triola's 150 000 so it wasn't all bad but Jeff will start I believe with 45 on his next ball oh it carries over yes and then he can do this thing yeah so with no bonus carried over that makes it really rough mystical Power Shot yes I love it I love the names yeah all right sending it back up top is Chris gets his Spinners lit ish all depends if you're lucky with the uh pop hits just went all the way around the Playfield oh it clipped it at the end I'm coming down but oh yeah danger of the center drops I'm really surprised Jermaine went for them I mean did give him 9 000 but oh yeah so it is now Jermaine started moving to ball two of game two of three in the quarterfinals of classic one here at indisc 2022 Jermaine plunging the ball and just going into the pops get in control and shooting for drops I think the spinner not making it all the way up top oh what a drain what a drain see yeah Jeff has 45. I mean if I'm Jeff just try to backhand this yeah honestly I mean 45 times I hope he knows that two is 90 times three is a number I can't comprehend above 100 000 above 100 000. I think it's 130 something yeah a lot of points a lot of points and then it's this is where you want to be honestly especially in a group match play situation just backhand this the power the mystical Power Shot the simplest and safest option is almost always the best option can you take the forehand as well I think the return was okay on the forehand right we were watching yeah it was a little more difficult oh is he going for drops I think he wants to get to 72 it looks like oh he is okay oh he is going greedy I respect it um I like how people are playing for the stream it's very exciting very exciting he should backhand here 100 percent I think he's thinking about it but I mean he also hasn't tried the shot so maybe that but it's generally pretty safe I wonder if he played this at all I'm qualifying that's a great question if I remember correctly I mean was he in the classic Target match play he could have played it yes he was okay I played it yesterday I mean who knows whoa whoa whoa oh I love everyone being brave got the 54. it's paying off it's paying off all right so now we need well he won't complete the eye targets don't really help I mean he'll get the second eye here if he hits this but that won't complete all right all right oh it doesn't even multiply it but 54. Improvement now sitting at 260. yeah and Michael has no bonus because he didn't complete any uh thing any of the rows Michael is on a steep hill climb here he still has you know a good set of points but you're right it's a really gonna be good for Jeff maybe maybe uh Michael can actually build a lot of bonus this ball and have it carried over to ball three who knows but I usually start this game by shooting Spinners and then starting to go for the drops but you know looking at this group I guess going for the drops is probably a better strategy yeah if I were if I were in you know anyone's shoes right now I would probably be uh going for spinner and then if I missed the spinner I get the drops and that's how I play the game very unfortunate for Michael with a train on the right out lane all right Chris sitting in last place ball two player four takes the plunge and gets a roll over there we go Spinners are intermittently lit now that's pretty good oh no unfortunate man these drains back to Germaine we are now uh all three all three yes Jermaine is uh pretty behind I mean he has 9 000 in bonus which is pretty good but yeah I mean he's got work to do and I mean uh Chris can easily catch Jermaine honestly yes even just with spinners that Sasha was teasing him yeah he's uh he's going for the drops going for drops that's probably what you need at this point yeah just get as much bonus as possible oh no it changed see if he had gotten the triangle would have completed but now it's on eyes so that's uh the frustrating part of Mystic so he's at nine bone to nine thousand not eighteen oh Spinners are an outlet that was a great flip that was a crazy uh path to this saucer it gets 18 all right completed uh one of those okay just going out all out on the drop just go on for it nice oh oh no Jermaine 18. all right we'll see if that's enough to get a point Jermaine was doing the I hit the flipper buttons harder Right theory of accuracy yes the harder right flip yeah it's gotta work it's Gotta make honestly if I'm Jeff really Mystic Power Shot yeah there are 54 000 bonus I don't I want to mess around with the drops you'll get the 300 315 all right still pretty good score from Jeff teolis yeah textbook example of why building your bonus is really important in this game yep he's at least third and you know yeah now Michael basically has to double his score and he has no bonus built up it's basically a cliff wall he has to climb to get to Jeff teolis oh okay no spinner no spinner oh he gets two uh of the same oh now we're on this oh okay hey but that's that's at least second for now I mean it's all up to what Chris does yeah and if you're a Michael the second place is pretty good that's two points or at six points at the end of this game Jeff villas with four so you're still in first in your whole group it's true Jeff really needed that first I mean he's not guaranteed the first so we'll see yeah I mean Chris could just blow it up right now right here gets teased by the saucer oh my god oh no he doesn't unfortunately Chris house balls for all so Jermaine we'll escape with a point there Jeff goes to four Michael goes to six Chris has two very unfortunate for Chris but very good game played uh by everyone especially Jeff especially Jeff he got that bonus and it it carried him all the way to the first place that's why these old games with a bonus carryover you want those uh you want the uh you know a good ball one yes so we're going to game three the quarterfinals maybe we'll see Argosy again I know we're gonna see Argosy again everyone we could all this reminds me to stream my watch for his like space shuttle you guys want over and over more it's just like spinner spinner spinner Spinners my favorite is when you have normal Sorcerer And it's like oh is he gonna hit the left lane oh no I think he might hit the left lane oh I think he did it oh multiple time oh and then it's like oh he drained well he will the other person hit the left left ramp and steal the multiball oh that's when you get a counter and you just keep track of how many shots of the left you could play like a little drinking game with it you know exactly take a shot every time they hit the same shot oh man you'd be dead pretty quick especially if Jim belsito is uh playing sorcerer oh man yeah the open tournament local pinball players found hospitalized due to alcohol poisoning come on in to the yeah open high stakes and women's talking about Center still open also the Festival of fights us tomorrow if you play any fighting games like anime fighting games air Dashers as they call them and smash ultimate uh it's basically smash ultimate Guilty Gear which is interesting the room they're in it's the same room the free play Pitbull area is I wonder if there's gonna be staring over like what's that I think they will I'll probably be very interesting mix yeah um oh melty blood the the game that could and um tecton ultimate and also a game called Ultimate Marvel versus Capcom 3 the old school well no I love that game Alex the one of the heads here really loves that game that's why the game is basically over there Alex different yeah Alex Alex to uh Alex T yeah that's a fun game I'm Alex a with like a theater oh are we going to skate ball not skate ball what is the next Escape ball oh my God it's future spot future spot oh I don't think it's future spot it's um no Four Square it's Fourth Square okay okay I think it's five square one ball that's off two inch flipper game um tilt enter game five balls no bonus so you can tilt away on ball five it's a one player game so it'll be one player at a time what a game to have a game three on you know I know Stakes are so high yeah it's a one player especially if you're player one of the score and watch the other three players pass you I agree like imagine your player one and you need to like get a second place to move on to the next round and you just tilt ball one that'd be a great feeling I bet these players are not going to do that they are not that's why they're up there all right so Carl's coming back shout out to the IPA the world ranking and that's when we uh Joss and Zach sharp are both here in attendance playing in the tournaments and getting into the finals all right Carl's programming his little board there to uh make sure we have the right players in the lower third Carl's doing Carl things as Carl does he's gonna switch to the shot now and boom look at that we're on Foursquare all right so the goal of this is uh see how there's these numbers all around the field you want to collect sets of numbers and you want to complete these um this might also be one of the games where you actually don't want to do the fourth one yeah so but honestly um if you're really good you can just keep looping around but I don't know like an unintentional alley pass yeah that was uh he's gone for that too and that's what you want Jermaine and Chris are tied right now a second oh boy oh those two inch flippers aren't gonna quite get there it is a very playable two inch slipper game they are they actually have inlanes yeah I was very impressed with this game it's very popular actually you can't do some stuff yeah you can do drop catching or try ski passing oh he plunged the two oh and he got it he's working on his second set right now for the top roll orders are 200. what a nudge nice nice very brave he didn't no tilting don't tell man every time he does like a little yeah I'm almost like that oh still not tilted wow makes my heart race all I see is this and I'm like duh all right what does he want he wants the four right yeah to get the four on the outlet oh nice tip over oh boy how old is this game this game looks ancient uh great question I don't know but he has completed uh oh no he has he's working on his third and that's the once you complete that you just want to collect all the things right right you don't want to you don't want to reset it this is another game that three out of four could be screwed a certain way nice patience from Jermaine honestly oh yeah four squares from 1971. wow that's super old it's definitely the oldest game here it's older than me it was really old wow it's gonna be the oldest game here I think in any of the banks all right I mean you know got everything lit just don't complete another set oh he's actually close to completing another set oh oh [Music] he's angry I mean it was ball five so you could tilt there if you want he does a good score though almost no that was ball four right no that was ball five it was ball five that's right eight thousand four hundred that is a good score yeah I probably would have gotten like 10 points if I decided to play with this game I played it I got like 3 000. I got like last in my group all right Jeff teolis back from uh missed the game yeah no he's got the last first so he needs another first we can he can do the uh the Johnny Monica slash Raymond Davidson plus other players okay all right just kind of getting that one lane oh oh no that's exactly what you want not to happen you don't want to go down the same in Lane no you want to collect more of the numbers you need a lit in Lane oh nice hot bumper love paying off you can see Michael standing in the background watching yeah uh okay oh my God is so brave crazy I thought shooting the drop Targets in the center dropped Target Mega Mystic was Brave but now we're like a whole nother level right now this is the saint Jeff teals is just having an amazing ball right now but now you know he knows how to plunge the one so we got he should be able to get sorry Jeff I didn't mean to end your ball whoa all right oh no you shorted out the camera enough so I know the absolute power is too much for the for the cameras to handle yeah got it we're on the third row now looks like the four lights are burned down yes almost got it just needs to get a one or a four whoa got the one got the one he's the four now the pinball gods have uh shined on uh Jeff I think he's been a good podcaster all all of last year you know I pulled that out of his uh yeah yeah Jeff is like what has a check make sure uh you know everything was fine back there oh boy here we go I need the four uh oh not this time not this time but uh ball five coming up or is that all the balls no ball five is he's at least one more ball because there's no match letter down here take a minute to compose himself punching the floor would be really good right now that the oh got it wow beautiful beautiful punch so you don't want to complete this last row correct not really okay because what will happen is it'll reset the lit things and at this point you've played so many balls you probably don't want to complete yeah you just want to collect the stuff that's lit so get one two and yeah or like you want to collect see how it says like the yellow targets are now 200 and the targets are now 200 so you can just keep shooting this green Target 7 306 so he is behind Jermaine he's still a good score still a really good score top-notch players at the top of their game right now and then you can see Gene here Gene Wang of orange orange photography right there working on photos he's actually been posting the photos to his site so you can um see if you've been caught in any of them there's some pretty uh there's some pretty great shots there's one of Andre going what I don't know what happened but wow somebody rolled it amazing so Michael starting off his game he has collected a one and a three so far which is very good he's not drain off yeah honestly if I was Michael I'd just be going for uh for second place right now well right now he wants to probably get the flips in dang it's harsh yeah yeah yeah we know we know Jeff that's talking about the Lazarus Jeff coming over here gloating about this amazing uh Lazarus oh that's very nice now we're in business oh what was that that was hilarious that's a 50 year old insert yeah oh almost got the four there oh oh my goodness Michael is just getting absolutely insanely lucky oh okay nice still needs a one or four there he gets the one on two needs to get the four I mean Michael's owned it after uh some of those like house balls basically yeah all right nice all right what's the return of it oh those shorter flippers all right yeah I'd be bummed about that myself wants to plunge into that Ford is ball three now I think it's three or four yeah I lost track because unfortunately there were like multiple pseudo house balls basically a house ball and maybe one flip I think it's fall through all right mine is into the four perfectly onto Row three gets the two almost gets the four oh and it drains who did he Telltale that was a hefty nudge he did not It's gotta be the last ball this has got to be you're right the thing is for I mean he needs three and four oh he needs one as well okay yeah sorry three is what you want because you could have got pop-up for action and yeah you can get ones and fours that way so that was a good punch she seems a four now yeah I think he's trying to send it up top let the pop bumpers do to work yeah there's a four right there yeah oh all right uh-oh so floaty I know oh no oh 3443 for Michael that is third place currently depending on how Chris does that could be enough to get him onto the next round that's true you know if Jermaine get gets first which he currently is that's four points he's at six which would be under Michael's seven points if he has third right now yep so uh we'll see what happens Chris we even hide to the camera hi Chris good luck on your endeavors on Foursquare here we go game is started and balls plunged nice nudge wow oh oh nice got some three get the four oh but drain collected two fours in a way dang all right punch that one yeah nice walk it over uh oh man these flips they're precarious guess the two there's a possibility here of a three-way tie there is all right all right whoa whoa maybe dude let's just call it on your right flipper raise your hand raise your hand get it on the right flipper okay you know okay all right yeah I'm not coming out get the right flipper I say right flipper get a tournament official oh man I wouldn't even be touching the game I'd be like hey look man so it's gonna go on the right flipper yeah um so the thing that happened in my game was I got it stuck right here but I had entered the Playfield right because it entered the Playfield even though it was stuck at the top here um I could get it here but people pointed out that I should try to nudge it because I would get 200 points because I had enough I had completed this right so you have Chris Hess is my call but not Jeff or Jermaine then we have a time away time how much you want to bet the three-way tie will be on Argosy I mean awesome I can't wait I know right you aren't tired of spinners all day spinner something well I wonder Jermaine probably already picked it he probably already picked it so he can't fake it again I know actually I think it's it's the rule you can't pick it for the whole tournament the whole playoffs or just the group I wish they did that but I don't think that's I actually think it might be the group the whole the whole playoffs but we'll uh I'll ask Carl I mean when he gets back I'm curious SoCal is a very common thing actually that would be it'd be nice if it was the whole playoffs it's the whole playoffs in SoCal just because we'd have more variety right stream I know I know that's part of that we don't want to watch Argus right all right I mean variety is a spice of life guys but there are other games with spinners yep like Paragon or stars stars has two spinners Stargazer has three Spinners that's crazy that sounds like triple the fun for the stream to me so we are just waiting to see if we can get this issue resolved so Carl is going to do it so he's not only is running the Stream but he's also running the tournament and six games all right the ball is on The Flipper Carl is closing up the game slowly and gently closes the coin door not as gently as uh Bob does though and uh it is time for Chris to flip the ball into the Paw bumpers so we're all waiting all the time sick what did Michael have he had around like 3K oh unfortunately it does not plunge into a new number and uh oh Lazarus two Lazarus one game you saw it here first it takes the in Lane hilarious Canyon Lane skill 100 skill Foursquare feels bad after uh that terrible stuck ball incident he gets the four he's on to his third row gets the two wow things got better really quickly yeah I mean he's already passed um uh Michael if I remember correctly yes he is and he's on to his fourth and final row remember this is not the one you want to complete but he drains still has some uh balls to go I think this is Ball Four that he's going into right now I could be bad at counting though gets two in links out lane what a bummer it's that game that game that is game 6 560. is it the last ball I thought he had more maybe he does have more oh he's tricked us okay he just wants to hit things that aren't four like that and honestly at this point it's just an endurance race trying to remember what uh what Jeff had uh Jermaine had Jermaine had 8 477 points TLS had 7 306. okay so you already passed you so already passed elas and he is working his way to Jermaine all the out lane so I didn't catch Tremaine right he did not catch Jermaine Dwayne had about a thousand two hundred more points okay but he did pass Jeff teolis I think yep he did pass Dutch fuel so that puts Chris at second place with four points Jermaine with six points uh Michael in last place gets zero points Jeff teolis but I believe he will continue I think somebody Michael and Jermaine yeah yeah I think so Jeff has five right yeah yep because Jeff just got one point yeah that was a big deal when he passed him oh yeah otherwise we would have had a three-way tie on something actually we need to ask Carl that I think we were gonna ask Carl oh yeah I'll ask him can they pick the same so we have confirmed with Carl once you pick the game it's out for the whole finals you can't pick up for the rest oh great that's a very that's a very SoCal thing does that not happen in other term other regions I don't know we mostly do strikes tournaments for weeklies and big tournaments aren't very common in the Seattle area okay yeah like World Champs and stuff they okay yeah you can re-pick things because that pinball at the lab that was the rule as well I believe once you picked it it's like you can't pick it but someone else in your group can be yes yes right so does that mean we're going to be seeing artists someone's gonna get tired of picking RX or they'll yeah hopefully the people who like Argosy will be eliminated I don't know if that could happen to you well we're not rooting for anyone to be a limited I know but I'm just saying I just want to see big game I want to see a big game on stream so I can try to explain it you know what you know what I'm sad is not in the bank right now prospector yeah that'll be tomorrow tomorrow probably we can't say for sure but most likely it better be I want to see Hocus Pocus as well that's a great game Hocus Pocus has the best um noise when you roll it because it's like your laundry's done yep it literally is an appliance buzzer that's why it sounds so familiar yep over the top not laundry's done yeah whenever we're playing the joke it's like you do your laundry yeah I did my laundry oh this is um magic magic by Stern another Stern game do you like lit Spinners oh no oh no it's moving again I think it's moving across the room I got too excited I'm sorry internet how dare you I know my bad my bad check out these awesome sponsors though Golden State pinball Festival is coming up oh it looks like it's meteor oh tournament darling meteor another Stern game may not have two spinners but it has one spinner one really awesome so you like speed yeah I like speed you know what else I like I like it when the ball hops over my flipper into the drain yeah that could happen on this game oh That's a classic Stern trademark I know it happened to me ball three meteor I was gonna win it and then uh I did it all right I'm like oh hey look it's us again what's up guys hi everybody welcome to Riverside Adventure Center welcome to uh the second round of Classics one here at in disc 2022 I don't know what group we're following but we are going to be on meteor okay here we go we have Derek Raymond Timothy and David so half this team half this half these players are from SoCal the SoCal group Derek of San Diego Raymond from La all right so with this game you want to just hit that many drop targets exactly it's not hit any more drop targets then hit the spin this the spinner would be Max technically you want one of these middle ones up because the N ones give you more points interesting so really ideally you would have everything lit except one of these lights here however I want to point out that there are these things that spot meteor targets so it's possible to go in the in lane and then you reset the drop Bank when everything goes down very interesting yeah we see uh meteor targets also going to be involves multiplier yes any other strategy is you can just hit all those wonderful drop targets one two and three they please build these Rockets a little grid there the Rockets this is based on an actual movie it's just a licensed theme yes I have not seen the movie I'm told it's not right I have not seen the movie either I told Sean Connery might be in this room country's in the movie okay I know in the movie it takes three missiles to blow up the meteor oh yes actual integration with the film that's crazy 70s game yeah this might be one of those games that proves like the bad movie makes a good pinball I mean have you played Congo that's true I bet Congo is an okay movie eh that's worse movies it's just worst Jurassic Park I mean the movie Astro yeah all right so Derek this is ball three you gotta get something done but his spinner is pretty Juiced but you know you don't want to roll over these because that will cause one of the ones to go down so let's see if he gets to play oh he does not he got a tip there is the center post but yeah there is all right here comes Raymond in the lead Raymond's a really great player um I will say that Raymond doesn't travel that much so you want to play against women you pretty much have to come to SoCal Raymond uh always playing at Ace Gogi a lot oh it also doesn't get to play WoW but he is in first place though it is but that's not a lot of points no it really isn't it's gonna be uh Timothy's free he's in last place right now but who knows can make a big comeback on ball three first got some drop okay everyone's having a house ball on ball three kind of unfortunate is David real sorry yeah we're uh yeah house Falls all around unfortunate David real last ball of meteor I mean he's very close to catching he already caught Derek already caught him and you know one spinner one yeah first place right now one spinner so what do you do here backhanded obviously oh that can the spinner obviously just pull some Wizardry you know yeah I think you try to Alley pass no that's fine game that's it GG's ggs and as you see the spinner is very good it is so good game three so David is gonna get the six I mean he's got it I mean yeah you can just drain right now you're gonna keep playing I mean it is meteor so you'd want to keep playing one of the greatest figure it out David has six Raymond has five Derek has six and Timothy has four so is that Derek and David six and six yeah Carl's honing his head yes okay your math is correct hey my math is also not correct so I'm glad it was correct now all right so he is deciding to keep playing I guess maybe it's good for practice practice Yeah practice it's good for the stream too because I think we're waiting for other games as well oh for sure oh and that's it and as we say that okay yeah as we say to that you know he just goes great come on more meteor all right we'll start a new game it's on free play right yep congratulations David and sorry Derek and David probably legal so they're the type David practice or something all right here comes Bob I'm ready to uh input the scores all right I just want to check on the three of you how are you doing you doing okay doing okay need a break or you want to keep going I need a break need a break yeah all right I'll take a break yeah all right it's been fun guys okay take care yeah all right I'll go get the camera moved and we'll uh okay we'll try and fill a seat and get moving on to the semi-final that's good semi-finals top eight coming up everybody here at indisk 2022. yeah actually unmutes us I decided not to tag down I'm just gonna finish this ah so yeah please oh all right we're on skate ball again it looks like yes uh DJ picked us okay after uh Jermaine deferred because he picked all the games that he wanted so no Argosy oh you were here with us earlier and you saw a lot of Argosy so Mr real play this you'll know why oh yeah he's picking it makes the drop catch out of the saucer and it's been working out yeah that spinner Alex wanted him to hit before yeah he's gone and Alex doesn't hear it oh the spinner wasn't lit too unfortunate I like to take a break okay so we um are pretty close to completing skate two more drops but we're gonna shoot the saucers my guess what flipper up do you like a drop catch actually almost play the sling to get it to the right flipper get the skate targets repeat yeah yeah for sure oh that's unfortunate the game says not this time all right so it's okay as we saw I think didn't David do a really good ball uh three or I got two if Thomas is off I think he's waiting a little bit yeah nice testing him like he might want to do a tap pass yeah oh he hit the center Bank you never want to hit yeah I always forget that's there that's another similarity between this and Flash yeah this is not a good plan nope all right so now uh escher's coming up game one right yeah okay this should be the top Groove I'm guessing it's like I don't have to guess I can look we are in the semi-finals yep top group top eight right now that sure's up you got like a foot taller since the last time I saw him he's like taller than his dad now they grow up so fast all right I'm gonna take the full punch hey balls I'm sorry I get those skate targets he's gonna take the David real strategy it's gonna be the exact same thing my Flipper's got a little give in it there yeah Scouts gate so yeah that increased this value right here is doing the alley pass method he's going to go for the saucer there we go all right getting close to a multiplier oh oh so that was uh yeah I hit the the not great part part you don't want to hit the I think it was already tilted did he he didn't though right he didn't okay but he did a little pause yeah did I tell because this is a belly so there is a distinct tilt through possibility oh yeah that's true when they use these in ifpa championships they play what one in one and three three yeah I've seen that for that reason yeah Jermaine uh is the highest qualifying seat in this yeah I mean is the highest qualifying seed in this uh tournament left sorry yeah I mean and sorry in this group should say all right everybody it's Levy I'm tapping in hello how are these guys doing are they a little Punchy and I'm talking about YouTube huh it's been a long two rounds right it's been a long time a lot of Argosy a lot of Argosy yeah that might start running out right as people yeah Germain is number four because he deferred because his quote was I picked all the games I want to pick already right there's a reason I did not come in here the first two rounds because you owned an Argosy right yeah so I Blame You yeah this is your fault it's your fault all right so what do we got going here it's ball two Escape ball David real yeah he DJ he blew it up on the uh one of the other rounds so he picked this game he's showing everybody you want to drop catch out oh see he used the side flipper yes yeah he's showing everybody he wants to you want to drop catch here you want to drop catch it comes out of the song not actually flip with it right and then let it go right yeah and it'll come over to the left flipper yep all right here comes Tom Graf you know him you know you love him he's a fox City streamer man I wonder if these guys are getting a little tired at this point never I feel like they are in the playoffs so often that they should be used to this I mean perhaps becoming a factor it's like nine o'clock it's early yeah I was like wow so that was really nice that's that's the textbook maneuver there also works well on Elton John's Captain Fantastic by the way another game with the flipper you don't use other than this yeah they've actually been playing for that and almost have it hit the sling and then get using that to get to the right flipper plus The Flipper travels so much it's easy it's easy to trap there we go uh now to build that value he's got to shoot those skate drop targets yep right how come he's not doing that he's only because he can't get it over to the right flipper well he's getting 10 000 a whole I guess oh boy and that was really nice wow are you seeing a lot of that or is that uh are people losing their ball down there about 50 they're usually they're losing it more over here when it's over there all right is he going for skate or passing it over for the sauce oh well he's gonna live for 30 now I guess he just wants to 30 himself to victory yeah dirty 30 from Tom Graf oh multiplier time does not hold and that is not just your multiplier doesn't that also Advance the hole sometimes or do weird it just that's just always you're multiply I'm pretty sure yeah I'm pretty sure this is always just the multiplier and this is not the nice skate ball setting so it's going to disappear after the next after the drain a little too much on that one but it looks like he's not going to pay a price as it bounces around harmlessly on the right hand easily travel I don't know okay all right I guess he's just gonna uh you want this keep taking his dirty 30. I'd love to see him [ __ ] there now he's all in on this strategy I mean it's repeatable and he does have a lead and he gets a drop down this is trouble no no it's not oh man you know he could have backhanded that there on the roll he could have he could have gone that would be amazing he's not interested I would be I would that's the kind of stuff the stream wants to see that's like when Jermaine was shooting the center of Mystic you could do it right now it's about winning not about the well actually if you were satisfaction right now is bonus or something the extra ball is lit and that's points oh okay so 50 000 or something right I believe so something tasty it's something good and now we're back to the 10K oh whoa whoa backhand into the sausage that wasn't untouchable uh there we go oh that was trouble wow that was nice yeah all right is this the top group yes this is the top group this is the top group of the we're a group of eight right now top eight right now and this is game one yes okay it's a lot of mini booms there's no major booms how come his hole has reset at this point collected the bonus oh okay okay once you collect the extra ball it resets I believe so he's gonna have to go back to his skates if he wants to build that up but knowing Tom it looks like he's just gonna be content well you know he could there could be an argument that he could get one more bonus and then yeah okay now he's a 20 and he'll have 20 in the next fall and his extra balls lit again so uh I think would behoove him to do what he has been doing since I showed up here 10 minutes ago I mean I mean DJ did the same thing when he got to about one point something million I lost track you were here 10 minutes ago it feels like that I'm glad you didn't join us for the Argosy streams because those were I told you I purposely avoided those he shot that spinner though where's Alex yeah let's take a break he's uh shooting people are shooting that spinner that he wanted to do this game is playing very friendly well the next yeah the next game is going to be space shuttle just kidding and I gotta say admire you guys really for sticking this out you know this is uh yeah I know is that your plan to call all seven hours before you see this tournament well it has been that long plus neither of us made it so this is our punishment yeah we're not making it uh there is something to be said for perhaps taking a shot at the Open tickets true that's true the lines are still pretty short it's true that's probably why Alex is uh not here did they do that thing where they they did where they changed the switch on that right Inland so you can't no they did it they did it I think pretty sure you can back over no it's disconnected so if you're not gonna get it you're not gonna get your free cheesy or boat cheese or bonus yeah nice alley pass we had extra ball again or does that collect bonus with the 2x or 3x sorry is that three S3 right yeah curious what the high on this was uh I think it's two seconds 2.3 or something when I read it on stream a couple hours ago he finally he hit the dangerous uh don't shoot those buddy yeah about 2.5 million don't shoot those on this or the game that they stole the layout from flash or any other game that has the layout I mean we shot we saw Jermaine do the center drops at Mystic okay I have to admit I think they did and they didn't improve it a little bit they were funny all right so he's gonna get the multiple Steve I said that I'm sure he'll get very upset multiplier Steve Steve isn't a fan of Claude Fernandez uh what are those drops up there do I've played this game for 20 years and I still don't really know you could when you bonus it just it just points it's points all right so you shoot them because why not but I mean you do you do but I think you're shooting them from the right yeah yeah you shoot them from here maybe all right let's see uh let's see what he does let's see how Escher executes it's the same plan everyone else will be executing yep uh yes it seems that way this is ball two right yes all right and this is a mercifully three ball Game yes yes it's a three ball game thank you I know oh that's trouble have we seen anybody try to tap it over there um I guess I don't think we've seen it I don't think we've seen tap but I mean you have the gate right right and the flippers have such a sharp angle it's pretty easy to get control even after you rocket it into that thing well maybe not as we say that it's down a little shimmy of defeat yeah and she walks off I'm sure he's been having all issues doing the thing not as many issues as player four German has apparently had what happened there what happened that was so long ago that was so long I don't remember yeah I think that was like 20 minutes ago I felt like here comes Jermaine the Frenchman via Seattle Washington great player always in the mix in these big tournaments stop me if you've heard this before no keep going I have no idea what you guys have been talking we haven't talked about that we no we haven't talked about that um Alex I think plays a Jermaine I think what happened to your third Ruth mate he bailed out to go I think he went to go play the main he's taking your advice to go play open um you know I'm used to these Mega streams uh if you watch pins and Pirates I was on by myself for a lot of hours so that is uh that is hard work yeah Carl gave him a note and he took it you know what I think you know what I said I think it was like it's like you guys are on your own I'm leaving I can't handle this by myself uh this is true oh oh got it excellent oh this is trouble now yeah it's fine I'm just trying to uh oh the rare the excitement and danger man he's really kind of squirrely I would say yeah he's a little squirrely that's a good word for it I stole it from Alex who was on the mic earlier Seattle guys use that term does he want that in ours yeah because I mean it would be five thousand I guess it was not yeah it's not very lucrative but I mean I don't think shooting the center drops them I mean that was on purpose all right there we go how about going up top there hitting the spinner no no that's not gonna happen it only spun like five times so it's not even lit it's not even lit see the frustration not even lit I don't know how you like that it doesn't even matter does it it's a good question do you light it it does get lit sometimes I forgot there we go not too lucrative but uh people yeah people aren't going up here because this doesn't hold over on other some skate balls the bonus multiplier will hold over and the bonus will hold over right if you get it up if you get the 20 40 or 60 it will hold over you use the side flipper as an actual flipper it's always put it in danger and you see what happens yeah it's pretty much exactly it went like there there bounced around a little bit and then right there yep well there's one thing that the flash has over this game is the side flipper is actually useful for looping and for sweeping the center back for sure they're angled differently on nothing all right the standard there yeah the three bank is angled like the other way all right here comes 30. dirty 30 baby are we are we gonna boom each one of these 30s God no all right because DJ did this before and we watched him get to like one point he actually picked this game so I was gonna grind this Tim he's gonna grind it until the flippers fall off so Jermaine deferred and ended up with this yep yeah TJ picked it I mean you know that's not a bad move in Classics a lot of the times you know there tends to be uh-oh let's even get out he can dig it you take it out man wow this is one forgiving skate ball I mean they're all kind of forgiving but yeah but this one is really like I haven't seen anybody lose it down that left drain yet it's happened I mean I'm gonna take your word for it yeah no it's it we it happened on stream you blame me with the Jinx you can't just you can yeah oh you got out you can't lose it but everyone has most people have been saving it all right two exponents but the collect isn't lit yet bonus is poultry yeah why are these bonuses so low well because you're not shooting these okay you could have shot the S there why don't people they just want to do this yep because who doesn't do that it's safe and repeatable safe and repeatable that they tell me that's good in pinball ladies and gentlemen the extra ball was lit too it was will it be lit again I mean that was ball three so so it doesn't really matter yeah good call all right tablet all right put it here yeah yeah so Tom with a big lead wants to keep pouring it on here yeah I mean because one billion plus he's got etern germane after him you know I'm gonna Queen balls I'm going to bring this tablet over to Escher because he actually knows how to make this font bigger a little last night I was very impressed you got it you don't need that sure he had another thing oh but yeah you're right I don't need him I don't need anybody oh oh dear no not trouble you've got 20K super bonus do these flippers get steeper with age do you think the brackets kind of where like do they really roll out of the factory this deep that's actually seriously you got a lot of pinball machines they're also they're like the linear this is like a Premiere this is like a water World Travel oh it's not that bad this is not godly system three he has hit the 20 000 bonus uh threshold meaning that that will now carry over for the rest of his game two buddies is up all three stop saying that no we want him to be on ball free right I mean we sort of do so we can move on oh wait oh god oh that almost self-saved itself yeah wow oh no wow wow [Music] I love it flip that people bodies the streamers what's that gonna be he's got the lead yep I dare say a commanding lead yeah not with us that's right that's true there goes Colin MacAlpine strolling by you can never get bored of hitting the saucer Chad yeah we have a chat now this is great yeah all right Esther's up all right here comes answer all three the rest of the stream we had the 300 people we were ignoring yeah we got 300 people watching this thing uh last I looked it was 300 people that is awesome that is awesome thank you for tuning in to IE pinball support I.E pinball help Carl get um best in the business what is it called partner partner oh oh not quite is he gonna take a shot yeah I did oh hey guys wow he changed the price he paid the price he's gonna get a point the price was paid he's gonna get a point okay so is he gonna get a point all right oh sorry yeah yeah no yeah I did that map I'm gonna interact with this chat oh Neil McCray wants to know where my ribs were they were pretty good Neil was there did you go to grams or something we did maybe responding to chat for people who are physically here yeah I am yeah and I didn't wash my hands so there's gonna be rips all over the tablet I like it um yeah well Neil is the person also who will be in the room and in chat at the same time that's true that's true I like how Jermaine layers for these things you know he goes with the T-shirt oh no that is just a long sleeve shirt that's just fooled by the stripes the stripes it's the cool design I guess yeah probably as bad as mine that was a nice save nice great we going saucer what are you doing are you trying to throw a multiplier me and Levy have the reading glasses I like the reading glasses yeah I can read stuff that's the multiplier just like that yeah from below so I mean he needs oh boy oh boy he needs about 250 000 points to get in the money here does not want to open this series of the zero we all know how painful that can be yep or in my case lasts around two zeros dang ouch yeah yeah that left flipper really does have a lot of travel it sure does um and they all seem to and I'm just wondering if it's because they're the brackets at this point are kind of worn out this game did get played a lot like this is an on location game boom Oh I like him he is going for it because he knows he needs yeah he only needs 250 000 points he does and why nice there why shoot that saucer five times when he could just shoot it like twice and another good nudge wow all right it's time to cash in also it did not oh he hasn't he hasn't knocked down the whole bank yet yeah he hasn't he's it's like that there's two so those things oh directly down the middle yeah he's gonna take a zero um okay that game is mercifully in the books and it looks like uh that's Tom followed by sure DJ sure pass DJ wow that's gotta hurt six thousand points Carl is going to move the rig if we are gone by the time the next game starts you'll know they picked Argosy again all right everyone welcome to indisk this is uh classics uh one the top eight the what do they call the semi-finals I guess yeah semi-finals these are the semis yeah I'm Jonathan I'm a local Levy I'm from New York City and uh Ron Hallett Jr also from the great state of New York nice uh and we're just here you know playing pinball watching pinball watching talking about pinball um looking at pinball uh thinking about pinball checking our uh email for any news about pinball uh the name of the game is pinball and that's why we're here and that's why you're here and we hope you're enjoying it yep and we're here here is Riverside by the way Riverside Convention Center in Riverside in uh Southern California oh my God oh my God just hit the camera yeah it's okay okay we're still in frame we're still on frame sort of yeah that was actually a little exciting you know yesterday we had Fred Richardson trip over the rig really and oh we apparently was not disconnected we just couldn't see anything including the games but the re the it was still transmitting the game um it was and they could still hear us so it was like it was like Tommy commentating it's like Tommy commentating or something yeah it was a stranger but uh Fred has ugly been banned now from the backstage area so him and Tony Monica are both man yeah they fixed Stars it looks like I think we're on stars is that what I see some Stars oh you guys are in for a treat it's stars and in the background you can see Maine uh or open I should say that is still going on qualifying goes on tomorrow so if you're in the area you want to play some pinball and a tournament come here high stakes of women here join us yes and there's also a Classics too which is on an entirely different set of games I think there's gonna be overlapping some overall some overlap all right folks you you remember everything from stars on is going to be all that trapping you just saw all that controlled play well you're not gonna see any of that here out the window it's out the window all right which ball are we on here on Stars this stars are set for five ball oh how great this is the same group okay um nothing really you need to know about the Stars except the double bonus and triple bonus are both achieved by just knocking down one bag not both so it is a little easier those are the five stars right I think uh correction and one of them is spotted everybody knows Stars we don't need to tell these people the rules to start but we did explain it earlier but that was like three hours ago everybody knows how to play stars and if they don't they will know by the end of this 25 balls of stars we're about to watch oh four times five twenty balls 20. if there isn't a star there isn't a stars in your area find your local operator have to put stars outside now just so you know knocking down those that drop Target back four times will give you an extra body like oh and he's already got three stars he's got his rights thinner Juiced he's a dangler you know I Like to Swing uh does that flip around though uh he likes to dangle his uh his badge here um I like to turn it around behind me I'm a dangler dangler doesn't kind of destroy he knows it more importantly he only needs one more star oh what happened God forgot to flip what wow didn't press the button hard enough or perhaps he was thinking about something else yeah and it wasn't even that fast it happens to everybody it happened to me on Argosy once a day you slapped the game and just kind of missed the flipper button pilot error indeed chat uh regardless that is a nice thing to have saved for posterity yeah it's kind of my chats disappeared hey Carl can you charge our chat tab nevermind it's called it's called a screensaver s oh no okay going for that spinner obviously and get the in Lane very nice spinner because it bounces around up there can hit those stand-ups oh boy oh but he's got four more balls um it's really something playing a five stars but it is so when you get the usual two house Falls or so you still get to play three balls it's true any unlimited specials that's weird I've I've been a lot yeah that's probably one of those yeah I guess that's so Cal loves their Spinners so whenever you're in a tournament and SoCal The Spinners are always gonna be Juiced these Spinners are are very very wet Yep they're Juiced they move yeah oh he gets the 6 000 because he got a 3 000 points and a three oh no oh um you can also move this thing around pretty good but it will tilt um I guess he didn't really have too much to lose there I'm trying to notice that there's a little flipper hop on the right side there see the cool thing about the Stearns or this variety if you have flipper hop those are just little metal guides you could just pull them out and bend them right right problem solved all right here comes DJ he's played many thousands of games of stars I'm sure this was a papa favorite and DJ is a papa guy having been around that area nice little trap up there it's such a great game isn't it it's great because it misses everything it's hard to do on stars because there's so much uh there he goes all right now that license spinner oh more bonus double bonus he's all in on the bonus I like it I like it oh good he Bales out there at the right moment nice little tip wow that was intentional to the drops he does he wants to just go you don't get bonus for the drops you just get your multiplier right um but he's almost got triple bonds now he maybe needs some bonus here it doesn't happen well he hits him a bonus but he's going to get 15 000 points well I actually didn't even know that all the times I played it what that they had it set that way oh yeah so you just hit the three bank now twice and you get tripled off and then the third time you have to knock them all down um to Light extra ball and then you need to just knock three down to get it you see there's a Target that just fell that was happening too that happens on every stars ever yeah mine is the uh middle one on the right bank I just I've noticed it's just kind of random and it's a free Target and that's cool you know oh boy wow we did not speed this footage up by the way this is a normal speed yep that was a poorly handled ball I think we could this game was made in 1978. the machines on the right wall turned off because they're probably going to be used tomorrow and we don't want to confuse people what's in the bank uh for today right and there's two Classics tournaments and not get free practice yes right because nature aborts a vacuum and a pin motion that's on a board is not somebody playing it so people will go over and molest the games if given a choice for an opportunity all right let's see if he was more oh going back to the Stars he was the stars and Spinner guy on his last ball more bonus there yeah you see The Flipper hop on the right side he's only got one star left on the right um all he needs to do is hit that star on the right which he just went for a little early and he will have his roving spinner lit and we could see I got 600 000 points in specials 100K and it's repeatable boom got it got it all right it moves oh and that's what usually happens it moves around every every time you hit pretty much any 500 Point stroke here here here here here it's all the stars targets are specials that's possible specials um but uh wow so he's so Tom's only got 44. he would have liked to come out of that with a little more oh you got the white star yeah that's the hardest one right off the bat oh okay backhand spinner there nice defensive flip right a drop catch like a half drop catch nice oh he got it out nice of it lucky didn't tilt there he gave it a really nice whack uh this game is still anybody's game at this point um of course the special can always change things in a hurry if you didn't see the last game the score is on the back glass are in a weird order so don't be confused yeah this is four it goes this way I almost got the white star you know you're gonna get it off yeah um he's in Sling land a bad place to be on any game but particularly bad in Stars uh let's see is he going for I bet he's going for those stars in the top no he's backhanding the drops he loves getting his massive bonus multiplier without any bonus wow moving it around Hotel oh boy oh I love it love it anything to make it better oh wow double bonus again and drained I have to say I'm uh uncontrolled Stars play here don't tell me there's no other kind that's great I want to see some post action next they haven't seen the post has anybody done the thing where you trap it and then just let the flipper go and see if it bounces it's not gonna work so don't worry because you know sometimes it'll just get like and then bounce over the other foot in with meteor and I'm pretty sure not gonna work on either of those oh this is trouble oh this is trouble this was a thing I would lose a ball on a game like this by not plunging hard enough and it coming down there it happens all the time but uh he survives takes survives to flip another day oh oh he might have been able to get them with the right flipper he wasn't ready I honestly don't think I think he would I don't know we had a replay we could see but Carlos there's a I think there's a ruling and we couldn't see it we'd still be arguing about it I think it was just above enough where he could have gone I don't know yeah well regardless he definitely wasn't ready I agree he wasn't ready so he could have made an attempt I don't know I mean I thought he recovered from that disastrous short plunge I mean Jermaine is still in the lead right so yeah is he for now yeah and it can't be disastrous he didn't drain off of it good point I was trying to up the stakes here a little bit oh can we agree that was he deserves ball yeah that wasn't great uh by the way I think he's floated yeah nobody got hurt yeah but yeah Jared you're right maybe the full plunge is uh gonna get the white star I don't know I always full plunge on this game so I decide is good oh yeah seems to be uh pretty good working out all right I got 950 a thousand on this thing here in qualifying I was very proud of myself wow I've never rolled Stars before and I still haven't but uh I came pretty close oh this is my man this is one terrible game of stars and the thing is no I mean this folks this is an easier Stars I mean look that's not necessarily so it has very hostage it has the posts in too they usually take those poses I've seen them out I've seen them no the ones above oh no oh I've seen them removed I've seen them up higher yeah these are actually kind of low they are kind of low so they're trying to make this and they put in a five ball they made the target Banks easier well it's anybody's game at this point um it's got a small lead but uh that could be a race still what two more balls for all everyone except he's nice that was a nice nudge all right trapped so we're going for the yeah you're right he really likes the bonus uh he likes I don't know why you want to do that before you have any bonus but yeah well there you go bonus there's some bonus bonus all right nice another one no I didn't get that one yeah I didn't roll far enough nice oh all right two stars left and they're not the toughest oh he's got that one over the right slang and then the other one by the left of the spinner I'm not sure if he's thinking I wouldn't be shooting for him no no he's thinking Stars right now oh or does he go for the spinner rep and take it safe he's thinking but you start leaving that orphanimental one we'll give him a 7 000 Point bonus should he oh yeah and he misses flailing wildly now just takes the spinner rip that was smart and that's going to give him the lead as long as he doesn't tilt did he hit that did it like break no he I don't okay that he missed he's got another orphan 7000 Target for the Triple bonus oh he wants that bonus so bad and he's one star short he can taste it he's ready to blow this thing up he's ready to blowing up boom oh gosh I do want to see some specials here surprised he didn't just take that spinner rep that's worth 800 a spin at this time oh damn it it was a really good Ball but it could have been a lot better um that being said he takes the lead and that's a good place to be as player four keep counting man but you know hit that dropped I can't believe he didn't get that or if you got that one drop that would have been a triple but uh it takes a nice a nice uh lead there on Ball three Here Comes Jermaine plunging the ball again plunging it kind of lightly not cowed from his uh from the previous software drop I think he was going for the spinner not the star yeah all right up top 200 to spend not the white star I kept saying the white star was the hardest but everyone's getting it easy well you can get off the plunge oh no oh gosh um all right not bad this is still a pretty tight game that was amazing just like an apparition appeared to the left this is a victory you get a control shot on this game that's a nice little rep there another star only two stars left already oh it was backed up there yeah he almost walked away you gotta stay yeah focused stay focused this is one of what I consider a high Lazarus game yeah there's lots of lazaruses on this wow or or any Godly give it up they give it up Lazarus I like that I like that chat good job all right that's sure ah getting a star and the spinner nice nudge okay not the dead bounce you want that sure is not uh not got a handle on this game yet he's got one more ball all right DJ currently in the lead um would obviously like to get to five will you take the forehand or just the spinner I think he's gonna go for those drops I could probably go for that spinner I would go for the spinner but let's see I'll just go for the spinner he misses it but he did get a drop wow nice we know he's backhanding this one yep this is trouble yeah that pop-uper did not pop and uh this is about five yeah last ball anybody's game still who is going to seize the star which of these four competitors is going to rise above show this game what for you all right that was a good punch um it was good and that it oh there we go oh he did get the bonus off of that oh oh ouch that was uh not a great ball and um he drained and then it uh Target went down for players well he's currently in second and he might get some get some inside of this and you know since he has zero that would definitely uh math isn't my strong suit but uh two or one is better than zero yeah and that's what he's going for at this point I would like some points whoa before oh he did hit that uh it looks like he did hit that one oh bails himself out he's got to be good spinner right yeah yep all right oh no not gonna get there all right so that's a point for your uh German yep I can see him grinning from here all right all right can Asher bail himself out of the gutter on this ball oh it really is a full punch uh backhands that oh that was a really nice uh Post stop is that what you call that I don't know what to call it not what that means I think you're right most cats nudging harder than usual because I don't care it's ball five he's oh no he's not gonna get a point I don't think he's no it's gonna be close he got it wow wow he got it by 500 points uh and that's got a sting if uh you are Tom grass yes thanks jeez and uh well Tom is a very mild manner of midwesterner I'm sure it's on the sting that much so does DJ play this or Victory plunge time um he won uh I don't know you know he played out he played out media right depends on whether or not you're waiting for the other group to go um well let's see the Pittsburgh guys do like to play their balls out unnecessarily is that that's a Pittsburgh thing no it's a Chris Stevens thing and he is from Pittsburgh so naturally I have oh that was nice well you know I did say I wanted to see Center Post action there you go good action yeah I I I don't think like Carl should walk over there and stare at him so he knows well that's that all right well it's uh there we go all right what's next what's next so we're back here and uh once again where is it again Riverside indisk Southern California okay Chad talks amongst yourselves what do you think it's going to be next uh who's gonna get the pick that's the question uh Jermaine is driving the bus but he said he will he defer again will he defer again doesn't he only have one point or yeah yeah um but he said he picked all the games he wanted but I want to see a big game I would like to see big games but I don't think it's gonna happen I don't think he can pick Argosy Jim Garvey because uh he picked it already right I'm pretty certain about that I think DJ picked it once so so if he defers again could double defer double defer I've seen that happen I've seen yeah I've seen it go all the way I've seen it go all the way around to the last person in the back here you can see all the awesome some of the awesome open games Frontier Batman man we're really we're really scraping the barrel for still in time here uh it's been a long tournament and uh we're only about halfway through no we're not semifinals I I didn't I just meant the whole thing the whole weekend Oh you mean the weekend yeah because there's two more days of Indus yeah um you know let's show these awesome trophies grab one of these uh let's get the tall one let's get the actual one they're gonna give out or well it's gonna work so this is what they're playing for folks one of these look at this look at this awesome trophy they're really gorgeous it doesn't fall apart no no they're really gorgeous uh Adam McKinney let me fondle his yesterday after he won it on the match play um it's really a great event uh the venue's awesome there's plenty of places to eat uh yes you can walk to your hotel you don't have to drive you don't need a car I highly advise all of you to not be in the chat next year but to be here in Riverside California why next to your why not now wow one more day play the open we did it on high stakes high stakes goes on the Sunday Classics tomorrow you can play women um we did have uh we did have some uh late arrivals today Jared August showed up this afternoon nice play The Argosy that you've seen five times so far you can play the very Argosy right and the fact is you guys are well positioned to play these Classics having watched uh the Strand yeah you know the rules you know the bounces and you know what we're going to say when you beef on stream so you're prepared you're ready and we would love to have you right right Jonathan yes correctly right Ron yeah all right and Carl's back and we are on oh God what are we on meteor not meteor next to meteor is uh oh god oh El Dorado yes El Dorado on the City of Gold let's go for these drops drops I don't care what anybody says this is a great game um I'm a big fan of the plunge to The Flipper that's why you got it from the same place which is the 1977 pinball Wizardry book that I let him borrow most people are doing that um yeah now he's trying to do the truth I know I was saying most people who no most people have been going for that but they start out doing this and then they get annoyed and they're like yeah why would you waste your time with that nonsense because you want the skill shot even though it's like five thousand points yeah that's why you don't do that gopher go for just plunge it you know what the you know why that's a good idea too the tolerance is very wide you don't have to have a very accurate plunge to just get it over into this general area where you can flip it um so anyway it's an option no actually what afterwards on three balls after watching Derek Price's group I I would uh recommend this that is an interesting uh display artifact here yeah uh has it been doing that all night yes but it doesn't seem to affect anything nope it might look a little funny so do you prioritize the bottom targets over the top or vice versa I like to go up top I feel like it's safer um further away you got more time to react uh but sometimes you just gotta flip I've only played this game once in my life but this game if you clear this it locks in some kind of a thing for the value for the next time out of control instantly okay we got a trap kind of oh that was a nice little backhand up there Panic backhand but got the job done Panic backhand is that new term excuse the Trap that he could have taken there he's really gonna settle down yeah he is he's on the player control player too all right got too many cheese curds tonight see I would have went for those last two Targets because it's 2x uh yeah well that lasts the entire game for just about no just the ball uh this is trouble yeah I was just gonna say that um I feel like they might have moved slightly when they designed this cam oh these posts because this don't seem to be as dangerous as an old school Eldorado but he did just drain there uh you know we watched uh Derek Price's group and they are getting a lot of good Feats here right I've seen a lot of friendly uh feeds on this one but time will tell yeah can't leave was obviously backing up for ideas at this point Here Comes Jim belsito yeah man of the hour doing a great job he hasn't even put in a ticket yet these are all his games and I think he knows he can probably just uh it's short plunge City baby population Escher this game is actually uh project pinball Daniels oh okay it's actually a little sign on it I want to point that out because you can't see it but it would be up here now living in in short plunge City and this mess happens right and hits the pop-up everybody gets a trap he did get the Trap that was nice uh okay it's okay oh and doesn't tilt I think the better players just have this ability to just hit the game ridiculously hard and not tilt yep now this is still technically anybody's match right oh okay game three with this with this oh boy yeah it's all it's black you get Louis is that factory or was that a I'm pretty sure that's Factory it's factory unless someone drill the hole they might have it's awfully close to that insert is all I'm saying I'm pretty sure it's factory I will bet you two dollars that is not Factory all right here comes DJ real and uh short Pond City population two wasn't German three three actually wasn't Tom going for it I think everyone I think everyone's going for it go over and tell them they're wrong yeah I mean is that inappropriate for me to just go over there and start screaming at him to give it a fuller plunge that would be considered interference yes that would be oh he got it did it he actually did it yeah and they got 5 000 points for that and that bonus Advance the bonus in advance when he yeah that was uh why are they doing this go for the go for the power plunge get it over here and whack a Target it's so easy I guess ideally you'd want to whack this this one right if you had a choice you cannot whack that one from that flipper I can't do this I've never seen it done if it's possible in the book pinball Wizardry yeah they call that Target The Big C that's a cactus got it who wrote the book uh some dude I don't know it's a very cool book I mean it's got all the flipper tricks I learned how to alley pass from that book I mean I got that thing 20 years ago off of eBay pinball Wizardry all right well here comes Jermaine with the sharp lines take two he's in short punch the Annie and he gets Eddie how many drains no we got some pops he got Tupac oh it says two drops he got some drops there foreign and I think you can trace that drain to his short plunge all the way like that train was put in motion by the all the way two minutes before I've seen these players looks like I was playing this game completely wrong I was going for the bottom targets well I think you want to try to get these these give you the bonus right yeah if you clear them twice but you have to clear this that is impossible nobody is going to clear that right I know that's why it's like it doesn't this is like whatever I saw that says player extra ball so I actually read that in the rule card and I was like not happening I was bemused right when I found out I mean I thought it was like do it once maybe and it would Light extra then you probably have to get the extra ball down one of these Lanes or whatever unless it just gives it to you I think it just gives it to you continue to uh White Water this game uh I prefer to call it jackbox yeah for sure um I had to get rid of that game I traded it for a no fear because I could no longer stand watching people do that was nice uh okay getting those drops up there it's a hits a rubber there yeah for his troubles this is trouble speaking of which ah it's an inlet makes that rubber there he goes oh okay nice nice more rubber I mean it's not pretty but he's actually making some decency more targets that's 2X there he goes one left nice that up and up and down that's good right yep um goes for The Big C misses it what does that actually spell out oh it's jump the land yeah it spells City of Gold you got the 2x so hey that was nice you did and we don't know what his score is I thought that might become an issue at some point uh yeah what is the score his score is 1995-0 is it hexadecimal is that what's going on I don't know I said let's sort this out later well I'm thinking when it blinks you'll be able to tell what it is oh when he's up next um I'll have to get to the gym otherwise okay what about in game over yeah okay worried about all right here comes Asher but uh there is something that Tom might want to be able to see his score so he might ask for uh Tech attention we'll see what happens if I know my pinball player is right he'll probably uh request so we should start thinking about we want to fill the time with when that that's true let's be prepared this time yeah oh and not because of the short plunger that we're gonna say it was from the short point I mean if you look at how many people drained off the sharp no nobody ever drains off of the not short punch hashtag sharp plunge wrong you might drain off of the shot you took with that flipper but nobody just drains off of the long claunch into that flipper I see I'm telling you I've cracked the code on El Dorado city of gold and uh we are back in uh what's another game that this happens uh we already went through jackpot we already went through White Water I'm trying to think this is why you two folks Game of Thrones yes I guess but it's easy to short punch Game of Thrones oh my goodness should I make white water cow call outs let's go that's what he says right now I think it is what he says yeah you're right Soprano's another short plunge this is simply stupefying I I like after so many punches on White Water it just stops giving you the actual animation and the Delights and the call you know it's just just it is going to be hilarious in 10 minutes when he finally plunges this and drains oh no he got it got it and uh you can see the very close grouping here these are still any anybody's match have we had any overtime action yet yes we had one time break in um quarterfinals well it was on Foursquare I think not on Foursquare it was on something I forgot meteor no it doesn't mean I forgot already it was on something we can confirm no I can't remember it was a while ago it was a while ago it was not Argosy the tie break was not an artist Jermaine you know I think it was on Jungle princess I think no I don't remember I don't know jermain's gonna stop I can't I have time to think about this while this is going on let me think what game was it on and we're back in short plunge town and he drains oh nice try oh so that's it for Germans we have no idea what his score is but we will find well he has 109. yeah Tom Graham graph we have no idea what a score is we believe it's 290 298 yeah all right pretty pretty good lead from that awesome Ball Four yeah yeah he had a good Ball Four I couldn't tell him at some point just say I don't believe you yeah for what this course well you know it doesn't really matter what it says because the TD's decisions are final oh that's right we determined that your score is this true I hope you guys are enjoying the stream this is the uh oh my God we're back in short pawn shop this is the awesome IE pinball rig and production bringing you the highest definition short plunges pinball has to offer oh yeah uh there he goes checks out three drops and drains [Music] he might have been able to say yeah um actually I believe he records these in 4k so this is going to be 4K short plunging so Tom's up over 300 000 looks like he's got 320. um and uh these guys have a ways to go for sure they do he does have 10 times Escher score and uh I mean I sure just wants to get to 100 at least right yeah you get that 2X but you need some bonus that's true it's worth all too that's always the cost pointlessly plunge shorts it's always the comment and then drain I don't know if it's so you know the thing is when you see four guys and they're all doing the exact same thing sometimes they don't really know the game and they just see one dude doing it and they're all like okay we're all gonna do the exact same thing um and it's interesting I'd like to talk to these guys and ask them about their Strat oh boy Big C is down all right here we go the comeback is on uh that didn't work out did it no he didn't hit one nope Run for the eye he could backhand up there and but I think he's gonna go for that far when he does and he's got the eye his shot is true um making some good progress here don't look now but yeah sure just one more Target and that'll give him a bonus ax yep I would do it that is useful with these scores yeah oh now he excuse me the opportunity there and goes back up top for some more drops oh trouble is that gonna cost him it doesn't look like it I don't think he would have caught I don't think he would DJ yeah um could situation situational awareness there he knew he um he knew he didn't have anything to lose and he took a whack at it uh the Tilt is a little too tight to get away with that unfortunately all right let's see if DJ can um pretty close to getting himself into second place but uh can he make a run at Tom Graff store and Tom Graf will move on for sure winning this uh is it too early to start talking no it's not no it's fine all right well let's assume DJ passes uh Jermaine but does not pass anybody else um what would happen at that Tom and DJ would move on as a matter of fact it looks like Tom and DJ are gonna yeah Tom and DJ move on as long as DJ doesn't get any lamp tilt or yeah exactly thanks for letting me try to work that out in my head in front of the entire world when it's plainfully obviously we can still watch these short plungers yeah well the good thing about the short punch is plunge the bomb it lets it lets the Tilt Bob settle that's the previous two like by now it's definitely stopped like he could literally plunge and drain and he would win he does have bonus right yeah yeah whatever that says but he's not going to do that because he wants to show us this awesome skill shot and he is uh that's it's official Tom and DJ are moving on Jermaine and Asher are moving out probably to the uh while Escher might not have to play any more uh tickets on the open yeah yeah but he might want to get some practice in or just embarrass people did he play his high stakes yet no he's got to do some high stakes okay all right we are moving on to the next round and uh let's see here let's see who made it in the other bra in the other bracket yeah I'm looking that up right now uh it looked meanwhile take a gander at our sponsors it has not been recorded yet okay all right this is very exciting so we are now moving on to the final four this is why you're here Championship pinball action yeah the other group has not been recorded maybe they're still playing the winner will get ten thousand dollars in a new pinball machine well maybe not this is Classics I think not open damn they will get a cool truck I mean in the other group I'm pretty sure it looks like uh it's Robert and Travis unless I mean it was six two zero six so so two members of the triple drain podcast will be in the finals very nice uh I'm told by the chat that the center post is uh you know sometimes in our rush to get the scoop we jump to conclusions uh I I said it was Factory I said it was Factory right but no one took him on his bet so we we're I mean you guys could have each been two dollars that's a bag of chips here right but um you know we wouldn't want to promote gambling I'm like no everybody else in every facet of sports these days we are remaining true to our our morals by not gambling on the stream yeah just because you got on the stream we're an extent to my bed with the pinberg gambling before I had odds on me or something yeah yeah there was a there was actually odds for that you know I'd love to see that come back yeah it was like um which I was in one of the other things like which one of these podcasters will win or finished highest I actually think there was a spreadsheet in SoCal going uh about odds in the open but it was just based on your rank IPA like if you are not in the 250 you have a 1 in 60 chance of appearing on Sunday I forgot how they calculated it you have to talk to San Diego they did all that that's what I heard that's probably a Mike Welsh Chef San Diego question man I could use a drink you got you got any you got a flask or anything for Ron Hallett B no I don't think we're gonna talk about that on the stream it's John nope sorry he's got water that's all I got sorry I'm gonna go grab some water actually I'll be back on that sounds good what are the chances that this seed will be empty when I come back 30 seconds from now it'll be empty we'll make it up it'll be empty we'll keep it empty I mean I see a lot of I see some some commentary Booth bum rush uh candidates but they're all in line to play because unlike me they are not comfy yet with their qualifying chicken so I like my chances but I'm gonna risk it you'll be fine maybe I'll maybe I'll be back in 20 seconds you'll be fine or maybe you'll be talking to Steven Bowden we'll see I think you'll be fine one hour left in qualifying for open high stakes and women's this is it oh uh women's finals is tomorrow at nine so you'll be back he'll be back all right so um Johnny wants in right uh I'll let I'll tag Johnny in we'll switch SoCal for SoCal that's the most fair thing where's Johnny I'm waving to Johnny but he's talking to Brian O'Neill I believe so we're a jungle princess oh the other semi-final yep and yeah there you go 6602 oh yeah all stuck looks like pro wrestling will be represented yeah you know how this works right I'm assuming the buttons are pretty pretty clear okay so there was some score issues on this game from what Bob was telling me yeah the tens I digit I think are one of them so the so we're playing one player games player two did not get the bonus it counted on player one he's doing some funny math Bob's gonna ride now they're opening it up it looks like okay this is the other group yeah it is so they're doing some funny math yeah they'll be doing some funny math here Bob has to add some scores so what you see up there I mean Robert scores is actually over that it's a 110 or 120. okay but yeah I mean Johnny can talk in whenever I'm good all right we're good so I drive to him but if he wants in we're gonna straight soak out for soak out it's an upgrade you're gonna get a better player and a better commentator Jonathan you've done fantastic tonight thank you everybody uh the great Johnny Monica will be here thank you Carl I'm gonna try to play some open things wait a minute you're gonna let Johnny be the one with the number pen in front of him oh no Brian oh well Brian's sitting in the middle so uh okay Levy left so Levy's gone oh he's gone he didn't make it well well he he vanished so all right joining in the booth is uh Johnny hello and Brian hey all right so what are we watching here is this pinball or what kind of sports is this it looks like some really old pinball machine yeah was it done like before like we were born oh definitely okay how you doing how you been I'm doing great okay all right it's been a long stream I know and here we are instead of playing we're commentating is that is that what happens yeah all right so what's going on here we got Robert Byers yes uh looks like the first two group first two people so we're playing jungle princess so she's not quite a queen yet she's a princess in this one yep does that mean that she's meaner than Jungle Queen let's find out let's look at the scores here Robert and Travis have six points uh-oh okay Derek has to have and this is game three of uh three right three yeah so Derek must get first on this game to have a chance okay oh that's right because we got Derek price over there oh my gosh that's our that's a local favorite yeah so you know I'm gonna be a biased commentator on this right okay it's gonna happen what do we know it makes it more fun I can still respect the the you know the the looks like no one likes by his commentators all right we're back that's right wow what's going on hey man uh all right we're bringing home this two-player four-player game of jungle princess okay it's nice to get some fresh blood in the booth I think those guys needed a rest they've been here about five hours I know right yeah all right so I'm so fresh as a daisy so now we got Michael correct uh uh Travis oh is it Travis oh sorry Travis wait why is it Travis it was player one no now it's player one you're right it was Travis sorry yeah this was buyers and uh Travis that's right because there's two-player group okay and I don't know if you guys heard before I went to uh go to the bathroom there is some kind of Point thing going on like this might not be the actual score like there might be some points that are oh there might be like a consolation or something Carl can you clear clear up the uh the point situation for us on this is so you mean how many points are being added to Robert Robert's getting about 20 or 30 000 added to his score okay okay all right so he would have a lead at this point then okay I'm not a mathematician but uh did he lose bonus or what yeah like his bonus didn't get counted or accounted for the other guy you know these mechanical games Bob didn't fully explain it well but just mentioned that as I put the camera on and uh buyers is hole hunting um oh look he's got his um right uh landlit so there it is that's a shot you don't see that move too much on this game let's see if he can do it on the Fly and he's trying to on the fly yeah that didn't work out and he's got a double bonus already oh man well is this yeah okay um by the way in ball five does it matter if you get ABC it doesn't no it doesn't matter but you do get bonus every time it goes up up or down one of those lands okay so that's pretty solid at 56 yeah 76 or 86 100 156 56 plus all right wow all right our extra balls in play they are so to get extra balls he does need to get a B and C to light his extra ball um okay extra ball is I believe a b and c and all the drop targets and and honestly considering the deficit he's in right now um if you could get two double bonus balls he maybe could claw his way back into this thing yep I would say that's really his only play he's got six points so he's just really just needs to knock it last yeah okay I will play a conservative yeah I will play conservative just get as much points as you can just uh exactly and the other guys haven't played yet right that's probably that's that's a blower that's rough um so basically he needs to not come and last so he's praying one of these guys beefs harder than he did and you can see and you can see how he turns around the body language yes very beefy yeah all right so let's see Bob is here he's also praying for Derek Christ not to win the game as well so oh I see yeah so Robert having a hundred and whatever he's got is uh I think he's still in good shape and Michael's out of it yet he could play the spoiler yep yes uh in fact he could spoil Travis's email yep yes like a three-day old stake sitting on the counter here's a restaurant that they actually spoiled the meat you know Gallaghers I remember it's supposed to be like actually they're a dirty agent right yeah I was talking about more like a chuck steak okay I got it all right uh here we go this is exciting this is a great game to watch and play I'm gonna be honest with you they haven't all been uh doozies you know people have been watching hour-long games of Argosy oh that was a really nice save and he gave it a little um he gave it a little English there and he didn't tell you yep you usually see pretty tight tilts on uh the jungle ladies okay there we go look at all those drops all right so all the drops will give him double bonus correct [Music] oh the drops will light his Lane ABC's ABC is a double bone and the lanes the side lanes are lit for 5000 with a completed drop driving and that's very lucrative because you can go for that hole and if you miss you get 5000 going on the sides so Levy do you like to use the uh upper flippers I used to completely Askew them and now I think they have their place I like to use them to almost backhand a little bit sometimes I like to use them to tip it over to the lower opposite flipper and sometimes you just take a whack at those drop targets or the holes you can shoot those holes with those upper flippers yep um it'll be interesting to see how these guys behave with them I don't believe in just not using them that that was kind of the common wisdom for a while how about you Brian yeah I agree I feel like it's uh really useful for defense you know trying to get a good trap and things like that and uh or deflection and let's talk about Michael's first ball well on the way to spoiling yeah no kidding not a not a bad first ball yeah at all oh a little bonus there action up and down yeah there we go let's see here he did get his age oh nice that was very nicely handled ah and then how much you can do that but that's also not a bad first of all 16 000 it's not bad now Derek needs a win well Michael is actually he's kind of playing dead so let's see I think Derek needs to drink some Twisted Tea to get back in this thing was he nursing a Twisted Tea earlier he is uh he is one of the biggest Twisted Tea fans I've ever seen sugar and alcohol it's a winning combination she's got a onesie a Twisted Tea onesie well it's for his young baby I would say no a full body yeah yeah just for him he is a young baby Teletubby all right uh that ball um not as good as the first but he's still got 31 000 31 000 he's hunting out so Derek wants him to get to about 50 what was it 50 350. no Travis he wants to he wants Michael to beat the Travis's uh 53 000 or something like that right so that Derek has a chance Derek still needs to put 150 pounds yeah he's got to win no matter what so let's see if he's gonna hit the little one nope silently putting together a nice little ball here yeah let's see um he's got some whole action he doesn't have a whole lot of bonus it can sometimes be amazing how long you can play this game without getting any bonus 5000 in the hole there with a little flipper by the way right like like I was saying you can you can definitely get it up there okay nice control Derek likes control see what he's gonna do this isn't really really Target but let it bounce over nice more targets more monkeys get those monkeys yep he's all in on the monkeys nice little tip over there yeah that was nice nice almost nice non-usage in The Flipper that time and that time I think he's got this one figured out every jungle look at that another 5 000 with the little flipper wow I like it I like it and he's already up to 36 plus four for bonus if he doesn't tilt so he's up to over 40 000 now nice tip over also with uh naturally Dangerous by Design they are uh they have sunken inserts which will grip the ball like a tractor beam yeah towards those outlands um it's not coming out is what I'm saying once it goes over there oh look at that look at that the bees the the hardest one it gets the one you want to get them well I would actually consider doing an alley pass if you can't do it oh my gosh and that would give him a double bonus um this could be built just when the pinball machine gives you hope it takes it away and talk about Hope Travis may be allowing a little bit of Hope to seep into his conscious at this point we could um as Michael's now had two straight uh poor balls but he's so close to the what is it 55 yeah somewhere around there in the meantime here that's okay that works get in there let's see if you can use the nice where's it going he's fine yeah he's a little that was a defensive uh uh oh Johnny Madison it's gonna be tough but sometimes it can pop up there from the pops that's why it's so nice when you can get the bee off the plunge because you're thinking he's like a drop Target he's got to get that drop Target lightest land yep I think so he's got to go drop that thing it's all right we're late oh look at that little stop there okay oh he's like he's got a little bit he probably had to scratch that thing yeah you should ask Bob for Scratch hey Bob can you scratch my back uh Bob would do it too he's a very given guy yes all right the land is lit so now I think you're gonna see him now he's going oh nice is going for it absolutely I feel like I feel like you go for the hole and if you miss the hole then you get the lane yeah no no because as easy as uh I think it was uh was it Derek as easy as that was meant to look it is not the geometry on that shot is not that friendly towards it going up there I don't know I I still like the lane though but controversy in the booth but then again we're not even playing here so yeah especially if you don't hit it cleanly you could get it up and then back down again that does happen yeah he's done it and he's done it a lot uh man Travis now really residing in Hope Town maybe considering getting a summer home there as uh as Michael has really dialed off the B factor and you know he really could even with double bonus he could get a few drop Targets in Jordan he could but the thing is it's all here it's all about Derek trying to get to 180 000 so it's a line ShopRite let's see fate hangs in the balance and this is still ball four right yes okay ah nice good control get some targets uh use a little flip look at that drop cat with a little flipper sort of yeah he sort of did that uh-oh nice stop that's nice oh let's see monkey time what's with the sunglasses it's style kind of like a Southern California you know he's the West Coast guy right yeah San Diego yeah I think they're next yeah they're like surgically attached at Birth I'm actually gonna I'm mad at him that he's not wearing flip-flops because I mean he's got to represent down here but you know I'll forgive him all right Derek all right there there you go more monkeys ah Another Monkey all right he's got one monkey on each other seventy one thousand he's gonna he's gonna need an extra bomb no not necessarily he could Max his bonus out on the double Bonus Ball and get some holes but if he does get an extra ball then he'll get double bonus again on that just be amazing wouldn't it yeah all right but first of all he needs he still needs help from Michael here so let's see what Michael and Travis needs help from Michael well Travis is only going to care if Derek uh gets first okay yeah oh wow he's having a good ball good luck he really is having a nice ball he's gonna be a lot of bullets so that means that right now oh that was trouble but he bailed himself out very nice um oh that was fortuitous playing for pride is Michael and uh according himself well I would say at this really nice ball five on Jungle princess or queen well Michael did what uh Derek wanted him to do you saw how he like you know he gave him a pat but he was actually like giving him like five bucks and he didn't see it he was really fast doing that so now let's see if Derek can uh can bring it home do we know exactly how much Derek needs he needs about a hundred and fifteen thousand probably about a hundred thousand yeah less than that well no because he said he had to add it it's 180. Robert's final score was 172 000. he needs 101. 101 000. all right let's see it not Dalmatians and unfortunately oh boy okay that's okay that's good do that 20 times oh and just like that hope gone all right so Travis and Robert are moving on to play uh Tom and who's the fourth guy well we'll know in a minute Paula's gonna tell us DJ DJ DJ DJ Tom Graf Travis and Robert are your final four in this Classics pinball Championship yes um this is it it's Championship pinball time yes it is this is why you're here we're gonna make this happen we're very excited yeah oh listen to that yeah I didn't know we had some like stock metal background music this is good stuff look at the crab behind us too I mean come on look at that look Steven back Jermaine just not carrying you know everybody else dancing that's right oh oh no free plugs look if any Moto is in there I mean what what it's so hard to do this come on Dr tilts yeah uh-huh look at that look look at all the all the bond that's going on in the back and I don't even realize that we're listening to throbbing metal what do you do oh no that's Steve that was Steve yeah yeah yeah can you feel the excitement everybody can you escape the camera time all right there it is we're all here those of you watching that we we know you want to be here but you can't sorry we are it's the first time I shared a booth with the likes of Johnny Monica and Brian O'Neal hey yeah it's like an old sweat shoe oh that's that's the reason why we're wearing masks it's not for coal of it it's actually for the smells yeah we'll say this is the coincidentally this is the best smelling pinball tournament I've ever been to yeah I don't know if it's got to do with the fact that I've been Mass the entire time but no no it's all about the the tea tree oil that you put on your mask if you put the right one then you're not gonna it's gonna be a good smell or something anything is that what you do in California you put the tea tree oil It's gotta be it's got to be organic tea tree oil yeah okay not just regular teachers well good no you were from Northern California from San Francisco Carl strapping people and we are moving to the rig yeah let's see what we got come on what's going on production hurry up man you see Town graph mom is very loose considering he's entering the final four of a big tournament Johnny got the stink eye I love it from Carl oh you gotta it's paragon there we go oh I love this game all right you know it you love it I love this game uh you shoot those in lines for bonus X you shoot that hole for Paragon bonus you shoot that you rip that big spinner for bonus that's right and that's pretty much all there is to it yeah um the plunge you always want to do with this on the plunge right how come that and not the other one well because this one it keeps increasing the value right you started two four six and then it carries over yep okay so that's what you want to do all right there you go look at that we don't even have to press Escape no I know because caller's doing it oh okay eraser off he made it real easy for us Johnny there's two buttons on that thing I know but I don't even have to press it you know that's what Carl is for you know come on thank you Carlito all right so here we go uh is he Robert a tap pass over to the so we can take a whack at those drops this is one of the nicest tap passing games right here if you want to learn how to tap pass you got to get a paragon very nice well on his way to [Music] um the G is out but oh and I say very safe see you do a nice save and then that happens to you like why you know why it's like an existential question yeah you know why why why did that happen and then you walk around and every time you walk by away you're always shaking your head no why no why not yes it's always no it's always known it's always known though I'm not start saying yes instead of screening now you should be like yes yeah exactly why maybe it'll help turn things around you know I don't know all right here we go let's look at Tom here oh he misses both holes yep oh and he trains that was bad that sucks sad fall that sucks yeah unfortunately he's got two more and um so far uh we haven't seen a lot out of paragon I'll find out now I noticed some people were actually post passing okay not tap bashing yes and it was working interesting yep because it worked out it will get enough enough of a you know coming back so that you can actually yep and put it back on the flipper so but you have to react quickly uh I don't know if that's maybe it's the other button oh it's the other button out of two buttons on a 50 chance of getting it right and I get it wrong unbelievable I know and I got Carl over there rolling his fingers his eyes all right come on Travis all right let's see what Travis has got he survived the monkeys let's see if he can survive the monster oh he escaped it was not his time see the creature said you coward you you left all right we don't do anything for the first one no you do get a little bonus can you get a little bit yes I saw you doing that Brian I saw you were pretty good at it it's kind of scary I get scared doing that I got one of these at home uh I want one all right so right now not much from any of the three players DJ's got to be licking his chops thinking he could have a good first ball here yep um and remember this is for all the marbles the whole enchilada this is it huh this is the finals all nine yards oh my gosh a whole bottle of wax so whoever wins this I'm not this game but the series is gonna have their name permanently etched on the on the banner you get an awesome trophy you get a lot of money yeah and most importantly you get your name on a banner for all to see to all eternity in perpetuity yes all right let's see he's gonna post he's gonna tap it he's gonna tap it yeah oh no he's not gonna go for that thing all right what what you know what he's allowed to play this game his own way any drinks and that's what happens yeah you play your own way come on punished if it bounced around up there and gone in that hole like eight times we got the 50 000 Point Paragon bonus wow but that's not what happened just being hypothetical well all right he got plenty so uh this is anybody's game I think it's safe to say it's a two-ball game it's a two-ball paragon and uh buyers has got to be happy with the devastation that found in the wake of his own poor ball knowing that it's still anybody's game oh he already had the a that stinks that's the worst right yeah but it's all right nice to flip into the drops okay and it's either gonna win a Lego okay good I'm gonna do a little tappy tappy let's chat time see nice tab nice oh nice save nice for coverage no I thought he got a third one off that backhand he didn't get it um it's got nice little Falls too oh he's going kind of for that spinner for bonus I like doing that by the way when it's coming out of the The Falls just go for that spinner nice rip and every spinner in this joint is Juiced yes nice like fresh Tropicana oh that was nice defense nice nice oh there it is very nice and now he's he's one away from his five look at that look he gets a Falls too rip look at that it's a nice rip oh you survived it it wasn't his time oh he's so close he went there he is he hit the 20. he got excited there he hit the 20 000 threshold that bonus now will carry over and he's got his bonus x one away from 5x he will have he's got 100 look at the excitement boom look at that that feels good that feels good so he's got 100 000 in bonus now he's over you guys don't see it from the mask but he's actually smiling inside and then uh extra ball is worth 25 000 I think all right I did not know that yeah nope I'm surprised they're not drop catching it when it's coming down like that with the upper flipper oh man he's got to be feeling good right now all right that's okay nice and easy one at a time get a little help there you go there you go use that little flipper yep there's mustard on that nice boom there it is there it is wow this is yeah now he's like I'm good I'm feeling good and everybody else is like so now what do you do you rip that spinner or do you go for special which is worth fifty thousand uh how do you get that that is uh the drop targets down and getting back in the hole again yeah and that's what he's doing right now huh yeah I mean you can't argue with results yeah um but I think at this point it would be nice to get that 40 uh forty forties so um and each drop Target will give you 2 000 in bonus extra okay he's up he's getting close to the dirty 30. oh good nice ball though hell of a ball Robert Byers yeah um yeah as Taurus his first ball was I think we can say his second ball was good and then it's cool because you know right after he finished that ball at first you're like oh I've dreamed but then you're like wait I scored really good yeah you know satisfying it's like a sweet it hurts so good yeah it's nice when you pick the game and you actually right you actually don't put up yes it's like 50 points yeah all right short plunge town nice see he was going you know he wants to get us oh okay that's that's that I mean that's the second ball he's not really flipping you know what that happened to me I hit it and then it just ran right down the middle off of that thing so don't do it don't shoot for that right hole all right all right Travis everybody know what hanger pinball is I do not all right he shoots the left hole of course we like to call it around here the right one oh that was really nice all right the name of the game here at this point yeah you want to do your best but you know nobody wants to start this out with a zero so um you don't have to catch up to Robert but you do have to make a little progress a little bit see some tap passing action yes oh a little almost a little too much nice one two three nice stopping over there trying to get a control Oh I thought he was gonna nail it there oh savable I don't know you know he got something out of that he's got 61 000 now yeah and you know that'll win some games of paragon unfortunately that is good this tool looks pretty reasonable uh I believe it is yeah yeah not too many of those Mars Trek was pretty made um but most of these you can smack them around a little bit and live to tell the tale all right David show us what you got yep yeah nope he didn't got it oh nice rare in Lane that was fortuitous I don't think we can actually ascribe any skill to that I said skill to that same very nice all right let's try it again let's see if he's comfortable with the tap yeah that's nice that's right yeah I don't need a tab I think that post-pass might have just been a busted I I say try to post five if you're not good with that man yeah try it he's trying to tap and you're gonna pay the price Bob this one you don't care for David if you do it too soft you you really can't do it too soft on this game it's always going to be hard but yeah okay he's getting uh some balls oh nice trip nice rip these are 12 000 is that there you look at that keeps getting the right hole which is nice it's very close to 20. if you can get that 20 threshold oh look at that there we go 2x now nice use of the little [Music] the top one in that case when it's rolling like that but ah I'm so familiar uh okay good all right and Pierce's table maybe is leaning very slightly to the left yeah I don't know if you noticed that I think I know it looked like it caught an insert too uh yeah there's a lot of that in these old games another rip he's at 20 by the way okay there we go he's got that one good so he's got something going on veteran Booth move by Johnny Monica letting us know so we don't miss any important action um yeah he's getting close to 30 now very nice there it is another one no no a little late I haven't really had no choice there but just whack at that thing with that Flipper the little one all right you gotta find out a way to bring it over to the other side and meanwhile he got the 30 000 supermarkets yes he's getting so many calls it's crazy but do you see how many golden Clips he's getting uh yeah yeah he's up to a big value oh my god there it is it's gonna be carried over Byers man he's starting to sweat a little bit yes I think he is um that he's getting he can get his 40 oh he's there he's there almost there 37 not yet is it wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait for it there it is oh dirty it was dirty oh I'm surprised oh man you got to go in close he's gonna knock on his door Robert is gonna be like what yep I thought I was sitting pretty who is this unwanted guest on my lawn as he takes the lead what a ball from DJ real keeping it real and by the way uh David real he's got a lot more golden Cliffs than uh Roberts what does that mean just every time every time he hits that next time he hits It's Gonna Be what like 15 000. I think he'll be 14. yeah 14 right that sounds like a full plunge is a pretty reliable one as I say that he does not get it but you know the Paragon letter is a nice consolation prize right yeah um all right he's got he's there with his 30. and he's just all in on the draws when he already got that bonus in the tank I mean he's in the Phone Zone let's face it yeah and now he just needs to take advantage oh almost drop cast that thing all right well he's got the tactics yeah he has been uh really really it's it's funny how DJ can't get a handle on that but uh he didn't pay the price yeah it doesn't seem like he needs it okay so close one more for uh for his 40. that's what he wants anything it's ball three is about three seconds yeah he just wants points and lots of them and that's what he's getting I mean he's got 200 000 bonus in the tank right now yeah at this point it's just points oh boy that was nice oh boy he's thinking David you thought you had a good score I don't think so I'm responding oh Beast later surrounded what a response from the veteran oh nice ball yeah walk away good right over close to 600. probably 5.55 yeah very very nice solid that's how you open a championship pinball series ladies and gentlemen yep and there's no extra ball on this is there no all right there's a lot of print on that paper I want Tom to flip okay all right Tom is not in the bone Zone he's still asking directions at the gas station for how to get there he has finally okay come on time I've seen someone golden Cliff them their way to Victory I mean can it be done well it's a lot of points I mean if you can get it up there but oh it's a lot of grinding I mean you can get it to a Max of what 30 is it 32 000 or something so every time it goes in or 38 000. I think you can do them all so 38 38 but 40 000 44 000. yeah just came screaming I'll survived it again nice see that's what I love about Brian because he's going to find out if there's something that we don't know about a game he's gonna know uh chat says 20 000 Max okay survives another trip to the lair I like it I'm glad that Tom is actually putting it oh look at that rolling he's not making his move here to avoid of zero this is really what it's all about at this point look at that on the Fly upper flipper 5x he's saying ah I'm not going down like that man what a response from Tom after two pretty pretty crummy balls to start this out throw me balls I thought there were no flips uh well you know it was that plunge right oh the plunge okay but still and if you'll note it does say GC on his hat oh okay I guess it's thinking a little highly of himself huh well if you could do it with one ball right here I I I would stand up that would be amazing I will stand up in a well plot yes look at that pass I love it there's the second one yeah where's Dalton he is the king of test passes oh he's there in the chat he's got robbed a little bit oh he was devoured that was a really nice ball though that was good yes not as much as you would have liked but uh let's face it he is in the running for a point let's see what Travis that's a good Travis could do Travis has nothing he's basically starting with that little tiny one lit in the bottom corner see that one little baby bonus this little tiny one so if you were to get 5x he would have 5 000 points one he'd have 10 000 because uh or more 15 because we can get bonus off you can eat some bonus off yeah all right so I guess he's just over oh boy oh boy he's in the lair he survived it okay oh those give you points ah those little drops up there nobody ever shoots for him yeah so if you complete them it starts at 10 or 15 yeah it's not really worth going for incidental points there it is hey he's answering oh all right he's getting really close to uh Tom Score already I think oh he doesn't have it yet but he's super close he's at 20 000. no he's he's almost has it yeah he almost has him almost almost he's at 3x but almost okay the bills in these tournaments nope or maybe even gold now he's got him yeah he's got him oh what a nice day oh [ __ ] did he kill oh he tilted no and he does not oh he tilts oh he tilts away one point in the opening round of this championship match oh that hurts oh that hurts he's walking around with his hands on his head yep he knows what just happened there he went for the power save he slapped the game and he lost a point and who's the happiest man right now in this room It's gotta be not Travis Tom who was just gifted a point on a tilt it does happen that's that's pinball Carl chime in on this man what are you gonna say about that [Laughter] they're both from the triple drain podcast so this is going to be fun to listen to later maybe this maybe this clip will even be featured on that podcast oh traffic or call of that painful tilt boy and you saw it in his eyes too he's like did I just do that and he did it he's never going to hear the end he hit it really hard you know I wasn't sure but uh immortalized we've all done it I think well it's happened I think they should make a t-shirt with that with what just happened right now right thank you stated on the bottom uh DJ is you know it's not over yet DJ how is that DJ's gonna give his his best shot here to catch up to Robert Byers he certainly could do it maximum bonus is 200 000 points absolutely nice it's more than that maximum bonus would it maxes out of 40 right 49. okay so he could if he maxes his bonus he could definitely catch up oh he's getting there all right here we go okay here's his problem right here what do you do oh he's finally finally he found it maybe it was it was better but it was not it wasn't what you want all right let's see he's got another chance here prove it nope see try it again he's a little nervous to uh of course soon this is what we call living well oh my God and he's gonna get oh somebody is looking out oh he's in the lair oh no he's not gonna do it he's not gonna do it what a game we saw a little bit of everything in that one didn't we did and Paragon was really really nice to her that he gave him the Inland instead of the outline on that by the way I would like to give a little shout out to my beef buddies back home in New York City San Paul uh Austin where are they they didn't they didn't make it out uh you know it just didn't uh New York had a little trouble with um with uh putting it together you know it was very this whole trip for everybody was very uncertain yeah it really it really shows you how uh the dedication of these organizers uh in the face of so much adversity to put together this tournament to stick to their guns in a safe manner too in a very safe manner I've seen very few exposed lower faces this trip let's see it let's see let's see it Brian uh yes it's yes people do have mouths yeah yes it's kind of interesting you know you don't when you're playing it's it's like the poker players now where the sunglasses it's like you don't you know every bad move before people would see my Grimace or it's like now he's like let's you don't really see it it gives you a sense of anonymity yeah when you're playing well not to mention you don't even have to brush your teeth anymore right anymore right right anymore yeah uh or wash the lower half of your face I stopped doing that no no not that easy yeah oh it's great so you can actually have you know little pieces of you know of skin that go right right you know on the edges of your lips and stuff I don't think anyone wants to hear about your the little piece of the skin a little pieces of skin it's kind of like right right right there oh my goodness all right so all right and there's uh Colin MacAlpine yep there he is uh he did not qualify for this tournament but not for trying uh he tried very hard it was very difficult tournament to get into and I'm not just saying that because I managed to claw my way in only to beef out hard in the finals um but we got two more tournaments to go three if you've got the high stakes that's right four if you have the seniors if you count the high States what are you talking about I was like well you know the highest things yes very similar this is an interesting choice um similar to that's got the same bonus inline drop thing um it does have a spinner shot but due to the ridiculous width of this game the geometry isn't so uh it's not uh amenable to spinner rips I would say no you might get yourself eight or nine thousand points yeah yeah Paragon is definitely a little bit friendlier I think than this but I mean this is still a fun game to watch forget about this thing yeah it's it's like like a baby layer right yeah um and you can kind of bounce it over there when it's rolling down uh and also again this has the bonus hold over deal um yep if you can get your I guess up to your levels here right these even your letters will will carry over too well what about these you have to get to those levels you have to finish a future Spa to get to the Future spot yeah clear that for me uh Johnny sure all right but it seems like Robert likes the wide bodies here um yeah I mean based on that last game sure and he picked this one as well why not why not right stay in the same stand now the one thing about this game that can be very difficult is there's about 16 outlands yes and if you get the skill shot uh the lid Arrow here yep uh it will close one of your outlands it's gonna close this outline right here yes one of your many hours yeah yeah he's gonna close this outline right here yes because he got a little lever right here it's gonna be pushed that way right uh other way around no no yeah it's right this this gets opened up so basically this closes that one right and this always kicks out that is not an outline correct two Factory left you can see that it's right there you see this yes uh so it's really important to get that skill set the thing is that once you get the skill set even if you know if you collected that letter you still kind of want to keep going for that because I mean it likes to now what I did see also when in qualifying is that whenever the ball will go into this out lane over here this is not really an outlet uh it will kick it to the bumper oh wow and bring it back over yeah go back over so you told us like three four times and then eventually you'll just go this way so we'll see if it does Robert Byers is back all right here we go doing good he's got four points he is in the driver's seat around two a win here will put him well on his way power skill shot man oh no it's in the it's in the mini layer that was almost as sexy as the as the girls in the on the play field almost get up I don't think we're going to see a lot oh and the mini layer to go I'm gonna call that uh the locker room is it no that didn't catch on I guess it kind of I kind of yeah but there you got caught you know if you actually go over I guess you don't see what chat will call maybe they got some ideas yeah maybe they can name that hole for us all right uh let's see here turn on first ball it all went downhill after the awesome skill shot oh that's very nice you got the back door skill shot yep so that works yes you got one I think Tom is up for it he wants revenge man uh after what happened he wants some Payback oh nice after after Paragon all right the spinner is lit um I think he'll probably go for it he's got 2x bonus right now but he gets that Loop thingy which is points oh this goes uh good because it'll give you a letter too yep oh really yep it'll spot whatever and and he's three letters of orange he's starting strong very strong um he needs more letters though now to build up his bonus right oh oh no for that absolutely got 6X yep hit that Target in the back and I think he's got an extra bottle Lids look at that that's nice okay let's see some pops oh I saw how he was going this is a great first ball he's having and oh he's trying for it a Little Help from the pop bumpers good bounce it over oh that was dirty he actually looked up to see if he got it yeah nice save wait for it okay it's going for the inner loop then oh yeah yes man that's just that's usually it's the other way around nope and there it is I thought he had that thing open so from chat we got some ideas the moist room the moist death fall the sauna the pit the hot tub the wrong hole the wrong hole yeah all of those things sound good I want to hear something bad I like the fact that when we were saying all these stuff like Carl didn't have his his earphones on so he didn't know what we were saying he didn't have a chance to censor anything I like the uh the no future hole how about the how about the laundry laundry room like that's the worst place to be I think in a uh in a spot the towel room what about the people I don't know about that no okay I tried what can I say oh man he has not perhaps hasn't been able to shake you know something like that tail can really rock your world uh in one of these things yeah the thing is it's not over you just gotta you know take a breath and let it go and yep move on I mean look at Tom Tom had a zero I know he had a one okay you got a one so he came back all right come on David um oh okay man there's the geometry on those shots is just let's get wired drop targets over there yeah and the Drop lights are spinner too but we're not I guess we're just not gonna see anybody go for those and I don't blame them oh nice oh yeah that came down fast all right yeah I've got rock don't hit that middle uh stand up what is that by the way the Fountain of Youth uh uh I think that's the Fountain of death yeah that's terrain that's the drain literally yeah and figuratively what a strange game and okay is this what people mean when they say they want unlicensed damn stern put out a ten thousand dollar game tonight based on a fictional spot of the future would people buy it oh I thought that was trouble and it was not this theme is great now buyers again I'm sure he'd love to win this thing and pretty much punch his ticket to the title but he's also thinking you know don't take his hero here no oh no oh not gonna happen swatting at air but you know what uh oh no he only has 26 000 points yeah now right now Tom is uh he's definitely got the the number on this one wow this could be a this could uh this could really turn things around it could up up could be down left could be right tonight could be day if Tom were to win this and Robert were to take a last or even one point they'll make it it'll make it interesting that's for sure oh that was interesting yeah if you find devastatingly painfully heartbreaking can be interesting I hate it when it looks like it's going on the Inland and then just uh all right Travis is back let's see if he can shake off two consecutive terrible balls and a bad tilt yeah and get back into this one we know we can do it because he's in the final four still kind of flowering a little bit he hasn't uh oh and that's where luck comes in this case I would so ball was fairly there was a lot of flailing going on there a little bit of flaming but yeah all right okay you got a letter wow someone just ripped that RoboCop Center [Music] okay oh almost rolled over there into the ice into the locker room got the first one all right nice and steady steady with the ball look at that little what is it 2x three is it three two x oh 2x so it goes two four six oh that was nice this is vintage DJ real right here it's a Sizzle reel from the Wiley pittsburghian 's never seen play like this am I doing that right oh no that's all right that's it I'm now christening the the hole that's the showers the showers it's concise and we all know what it means what about the beef hole [Laughter] I can see hit the showers you've gone down the beef hole that's plenty of water going down there too there all right watery beef is the worst kind anybody who's been to Arby's knows that all right Robert Byers is back in play all right what do we do you can backhand it by the way uh he's trying to roll in backhand yeah I don't know if that was a I failed wow uh pretty bad game and he's gonna take a not yet nice up to Travis can Travis out beef Robert Byers I mean it could happen it's like it's not that easy to get 15 000 points or is he gonna go oh juice no a little French dip in the showers of beef whole all right so Tom in the meantime he just got a skill shot too and can he survive it no no no he's the beef hole nope he went to liquidy uh but he has a fairly commanding lead well I don't know about commanding but he has a decent lead I mean 135. can Travis um he desperately needs a point here um all right so he automatically has how many for he's got four letters so that each one is what two thousand each two thousand each so that's eight thousand points no that's not gonna do it he needs a couple drop targets he needs I say goal conservative get at least one point and let God well who is this guy he's a guy who peeped out of the first round by the way is it me or am I spending some oh man see we talk about beef and somebody look at that pizza right here is eating beef yeah again uh he's got a point yeah he's got a point now let's go for two see at this point just one at a time oh look at that oh my gosh he's just finished future spot so he's got 18 000. he needs those he needs drops right so what do you do here you can backhand that for sure I will backhand it come on don't oh he's gonna try to Rolling back at it that's smart maybe yeah yep there it is oh no oh but he takes oh you almost yeah all right you know he's in so he's in second place now yes this is kind of exciting Robert has zero points now uh for this game yeah right it's gonna make things very interesting all right you know this is why we watch this stuff all right so David again I will go conservative until I get my my 96 000. and this is my favorite format I prefer this to head to head uh it's just more interesting let's see oh nice look at that that's nice I might have done it though right there got one multiplier oh Spinners and four thousand points yep we'll come out of spinner tear so now he's good so now he's chasing Tom and uh not too far off really and if he could hit some drop targets yeah he needs drop targets what about a couple spinner wraps oh look at that that's always good there it is there's the pop there's a pop action oh no he's gonna be pretty close to Tom at this point he doesn't have it he doesn't have yet not yet now he hasn't he has it don't tell him he's got it yeah take it easy just play like it's careful yeah don't tilt yeah just just let it go down that beef yeah oh oh what a say I don't know if I would have done that but yeah now he kind of wants to sit there okay all right great comeback for DJ and uh this is gonna be a drastically changed landscape we're gonna have rival with four points Tom with three points DJ with six and uh Travis with one yeah and David is feeling really good right now I mean with six points I mean he's gonna be in a position where I mean it might be just a tiebreaker at the worst right for him right and uh behind us you can see the Panic towards trying to get in their last ticket there's actually not too many people here I think I think it's nap time for a lot of these qualifiers so how are you doing at the open I'm pretty good I put up a ticket my second ticket yesterday at about 11 in the morning well about 12. um it's still holding on the top 12 or 13 I think nice so all right I'm pretty much sad as far as qualifying I believe but we'll uh we'll see what Brian is City you've improved in all of us over here I mean what are you sitting on Brian you're not worth I'm gonna take a look let's see Ryan is up there yeah Brian's fifth right now wow he got left by uh Donovan Donovan Donovan just jumped up you know A wise man once told me uh Greg pop really uh at some point you're no longer worried about bleeders you're worried about leapers yeah these are the guys who are gonna like leap ahead of you and uh and we are seeing this you know that's actually what happened to Brian and myself in Classics actually yeah today so yeah I'm down to 16th but I still have a 90 point uh lead on the cut line that's good oh yeah so I'm feeling pretty good about that you're fine that's good here we go strikes trail of games that we're finishing this thing up on yeah boy I'm glad we didn't have uh another Argosy hour everybody news their artists that's why I avoided the Boom for the first three rounds I knew that it was going to be an Argosy Fest all right so I don't know much about Zac Stark's appear so you guys gave me a little tutorial Center be there to light your spinner which he just did got it and beyond that it's really just shoot the spinner yeah that's really it and that shot on the right the two kind of orbit shots what about the the rollovers in the middle dude you're gonna hit those they're not gonna shoot yeah you don't really want to go for them but you'll get them I mean he's off to a great start there that's exactly what you want to do um multiplier right just like every other yes ABC is uh multiplier oh very nice he's off to a great start so he's got a 2X multiplayer he does yeah but I think he's gonna it's I don't think the light is is working for 2x okay I'm not sure I'm not sure you got it I don't I don't know I don't think he got it because that sounds like he got his ABC did he no he did get his ABC well somebody in the chat will tell us yeah all right um it's cool like the chat is like the Wikipedia right you ask something yeah you just ask him the chat is a lot of things and uh we're glad they're all watching and engaged in this I like the chat let's give kudos to the chat we never like say thanks to the chat you know you don't want to give them too much credit right why enough you know come on and uh of course dude the chat reminded us that Travis picked first because uh he can't win right now so uh yeah that's very respectful kind of got out of the way and also just why not you know there you go very nice gets a spinner lit okay and [Music] um all right rip it buddy I guess he didn't get ABC he just got to be in the C that's why yeah yeah he didn't get all three of them oh a little late there okay what about that hole is that a good holder it'll give you some bonus points and gives you that strike value if you have any strikes so is that something that you want to do when you have it on your left foot so unless you have that spinner lit and you want to try to tap it or shots it over to take the shots what is the what does the spare give you uh I don't know it doesn't matter you need a b and c and you're going for your spinner and that's the name of the game oh all right so that's a decent ball too right uh yeah keep all one and it was good yeah Oh you mean it was a decent ball also oh so I thought he said it was a decent ball too yeah he's trying to help out I'm a foreigner all right come on making fun of me what the heck just offering moral support that's all right I can take it man me too I'm saying he's very uh these guys are really well on that skill shot oh a little bit of flail town here here we go all right what about oh boy okay all right Don come on don't shake it off shake it off don't worry about it you're still in the hunt he is in the hunt yep I think we all know this is going to an overtime game it just looks like it one four three six there's just something about that that screen good extra pinball it could hopefully on Magic that's what it takes it does so it takes two years I'm thinking DJ is gonna say no to that ah okay okay I like that he's probably just gonna go for that right orbit type thing yeah because also sometimes it'll sail over that hole oh boy oh uh there goes that ball um sometimes it'll just sail over that hole and go back up to the ABC Lanes yes all right Travis you know it's just for Glory but what the heck Gloria um so he definitely wants to win this game whether or not he can win the win or not you're right and he gets a spinner lit uh very nice up top yeah yeah and he's putting together a very nice little game here you know he didn't want it he didn't want to risk it he needs that a very nice look at this little whole thingy that works and a nice safe return that's nice so it's a nice little bounce over there it is sales over and no oh yeah oh wow okay he's killing it you know maybe the pressure's off a little bit at this point and uh he's really settled down and uh putting together a very nice game he strikes he's almost completely Fair too oh that was nice and he's got uh 20 000 22 000 pounds so 70 000 bonus almost that's gonna be a nice haul in the bonus collect very nice I mean he's still paying he's still playing for a lot of money so uh second sure second place pays a lot and five ten Whoppers yeah do we know what the price ball is right now or not no but I hear it's big people who are pumping and dumping well big is good big is nice in a big way the voids were coming Fast and Furious in the last couple hours could you say that the prize pool was beefy no boomy boomy boomi yes okay uh oh it's extra balls lit but that's probably points Carl's dropping on the cans he's gonna tell us he's not no he's not he's just ignoring us I'm just curious if that extra ball will give him points uh he doesn't know you know and I don't know if you saw there's a little bit of insert magic there it's okay those left bonus ones I'm sure Wikipedia Chad is gonna tell us well hopefully he'll get it and we'll find out oh that's that's you know that shot is a little tighter than it looks yep again the valley geometry very nice um this is the B really wants to get that spinner lit in the meantime he's still making some points though nice nice bounce over ah that spinner was lit but it's as simple as this if he wins he wins this championship and he knows that he's like he wants it he was oh look at that another spinner hit if only it was lit there it is nice all right move over oh power in Lane more bonus oh some cold blood there watching that ball bounce off very nice man that was nice that gets him right back into yep right back into so I got the prize pool it's uh 12 1259 uh for first place 909 for second 700 for third and 490 for fourth okay awesome very nice so we're talking about hundreds of dollars at stake yep even for Travis who cannot win the championship yep so it's the difference between Sizzlers and McDonald's is there still Sizzlers I'd rather go to In and Out winners go in now ah you miss it don't you huh yeah well well we were discussing the finery of a fast casual beef restaurants uh that's what happens when you move out of California Tom Graf handed over a very beefy ball and here comes DJ to try to get back into this mix he doesn't necessarily have to win uh but he but if uh all right Mouse is able to win then it's gonna be moving he needs he needs definitely more points than what he's got right now yep he wants at least at least well two points I couldn't even guarantee it but you know not the juiciest spinner in this tournament I will say that um looks like you got about 10 000 off of that and it was a nice solid rip too yep down the middle and uh one ball left in this Championship round this is it don't go anywhere yeah don't take the dog out five this is a five ball game I believe all right so you can go get the laundry uh you can heat up the microwave burrito yeah you got time don't worry about it yeah wow I was like why is he flashing that he wants me to take this we were trying to make it more tense we were trying to you know dip nope spoilers like ah whatever I'm changing the channel plot twist it is five balls uh it is pretty rare that you find these digitals these early digitals be five balls in these tournaments but that's kind of an interesting twist some of these games are set up this way Stars this one um that might have been it for the five ball digitals all right nice all right what do you do now go back into school yeah it's going back up there just makes sense yep nice bounce over oh nice in Lane a little early yep but it's okay he's still alive still alive is he gonna still be alive really it's eating on that thing in the pin another in Lane oh he's getting some love yeah he could really use a bonus accident but grow on the back glass likes him all right there we go oh oh and a little stretching oh what uh he did this before and he was able to tap it back that's very nice there we go as I get back over here he pulled the Scorpion move get over here oh I went through the little oh there's no gate there I can just travel through another inlay that's what is that the fourth that is good living that's a lot of love all right pop-up reaction a little bit go to the right flipper nice stop the boss stop there you go I thought that uh the slings here have been very sensitive I thought that might fire but he got lucky there we go no no middle for him no nothing but uh takes the lead very nice yep you had a lot of ball time but unfortunately he didn't get a lot of juice yeah he's got a lead and he'll take it going into ball four and five the championship balls all right let's see what Tom can do see if we can kind of sneak from behind a little bit and do something let's see we got the a he's still in this he just needs some points here absolutely he's standing he just wants to do it on the last ball and kind of create like a some drama like drama we've had enough drama we always want more drama come on sitting around for two years we finally get a good pinball tournament you know come on we need some drama yes all right here comes DJ real the veteran uh these are all veterans I would say I think I think what's the median age there are no systems here in this group youth is not served in today's tournament we all have weight here or no hair yes so hard to do that on this game oh and then the out lane just takes you man he's uh he's sweating a little bit because that's six points I mean well he needs well okay again he just needs Robert not to win yeah right now Robert's got the lead and Tom is still way down there so let's see what Travis can do here say I would say uh DJ is really you know if he can't win it why not have Travis win it right DJ uh would would benefit from a Travis Fury upset absolutely it was just too damn good all right he said all right it's okay I'll get it back that's another shot nope it goes into the hole scoop and you get uh 3 000 bonus I think after that guys and back in the scoop and man it really does not want to go in there he's not hungry this Cooper's not hungry like a pig you're trying to lead to Market it is being obstinate and refusing to enter oh my God all right all right if anyone in the chat yeah in the chat please clip that for us so we can look at the scores just what you thought Chad that you were just an observer guess what now you're gonna have a hand to this hey you chat people wake up we need be a hero come on chatapedia help us out there you go clippy look at the activity on the chat now we should have like a little camera that's just showing now we're not calling that a slam till we're calling that a reset right I don't know what is that games have been reset I cannot see it so he just smacked it and everything it appeared to be a regular nudge gonna look at the replay all right hey Bob we're bringing Bob Matthews to tell us what his call is as a tournament director okay all right Bob what's the official ah yeah as far as I could tell that was not a slam tilt that was just you know game reset because he didn't you know he was nudging but he was not nudging that hard there was no sign of a tilt tilt every step before he even nudged so yeah yeah so yeah as far as I can tell and from what Carl saw on the you know on the video uh we're just gonna call that uh you know a game reset all right so are we gonna restore this to the previous uh scores uh should we be able to get them from the screen and then play out the last two balls yeah all right so we're not gonna restart the game we're just gonna play the final two balls with the score restore yeah since we have it all captured yet ordinarily we would restart the game but since we have it all captured we're gonna go like you said that's good news for all of us who want to go to sleep yeah yeah okay okay but bad news for the people on the chat that I was like yeah we're gonna get to see another game it's like no uh two more balls you heard it from the horse's mouth Bob Matthews thank you very much for thinking about bringing us up to speed on that uh we're gonna give you those scores Bob as soon as uh and uh Carl can we get a replay on that um not yet no maybe my uh this thing did you see this monitor freaking out it's like it's like dropping I was gonna say are there any games maybe turn off the future Spa any of those games over there we should probably turn off as well don't turn them off yet no because the power will go up then I think that's part of my problem here oh okay don't listen to me I'm just in the booth so now the question is Travis is he gonna lose that ball yes no no no no he's gonna replay they're gonna replay I think the entire ball so he is going to replay that ball yeah yeah yeah yeah he didn't do anything wrong there um and any progress that they lost well he might have no I don't think this game works that way I think every I think it's basically an Em I'm pretty sure every game so here we go here's all right yeah there we go it just reset oh it just shut off before you even noticed yeah yeah Hey listen to us yelling in the background is that Us Madison you know we were really on that uh okay Pat myself on the back there Brian pack yourself in the back yeah Johnny Monica we're all petting each other ones back all right we're gonna do we have these scores yet I do have the scores all right 148 980 for Travis Roberts at 164 240. Tom is at 20 360. and David is at 78 470. all right we're gonna give that to Bob can you repeat that to us uh once he's back we'll calculate it after the after the game okay maybe we could put it on the screen for them or something yeah all right we're gonna put these scores up so our players can see them um situational awareness very important in these Championship rounds and um is at 148 980 Roberts 164 240. Tom 20 360. David 78 470. all right yeah write it down so that maybe we have it for our own uh anybody got a pen I'm hoping Carl will put it on the screen for us you don't hope you asked and he has to deliver okay that's what production does all right so Carl hurry up hurry up put this all together he can do whatever he wants I was gonna put it on the screen I think right come on give him a little crap doing what I can you went black probably didn't you oh look at that there we go I don't know sorry Damon who's player two careful of this by the way don't worry I mean Carl's actually going to change the font so that they're eye pleasing and stuff and everything all right all right just bear with us we're going to be playing very soon and right now all right very nice there it is oh look at that Carl's a hero as always thank you very much and this is Ball Four right yeah this is ball four it's like nothing it's like that never happened all right very good all right we're back so we're going to add these scores that they get in their next two balls oh it doesn't happen again no no that was it that was a tone until it counted the bonus down and uh all right so Travis has 156 000. so that actually counts uh kind of against it David they didn't hope for that because yeah he's uh he's feeling good and uh Travis definitely would have been better off if that whole shutdown had not happened he had a pretty good ball growing I believe but uh that's irrelevant it's pinball this stuff happens yep and uh now the undivided attention of the hall on this final two balls of championship play as qualifying has been shut down for the evening his spinner is lit like I said you're only getting about 10 000 but uh at this point every Point counts and the championship balls I mean he's basically saying David I'm coming for you bubba you want that oh yes I have to work for it oh and uh he's trying to post pass now yeah I guess he was well it's been her lit oh there's a nice middle oh nice he got a Little Help from the insert there I think a little bit nice nope oh that would have been a good spin but it's all right see if he tries to tap it over um he's not safe he's got to leave now and it's growing at this point just put extra points look at that help that he got from those rollers oh that's okay that's okay all right uh so he's coming out of this with uh 200 000 over 200 000. that's a good score um yeah he's got about 210 right now yep and um looking down the barrel of a pretty big deficit but again you're playing every Whopper every dollar counts by the way this is about four right we have one more after this we got one more after this all right I'm not over yet oh nice nice plunge into the spinner gets the spinner lit looks like we're gonna wrap this puppy up before 11 30. that's pretty pretty cool oh all right promising I'm gonna do the whole thing in ball five really Tom's kind of serving up a stinker here we're with you man it's been a long long day and long two days and uh there is some jet lag involved too it's not over yet it's not over yet here comes DJ all right if DJ wants to win this thing he's gonna have to beat Robert 's got to see and maybe hope or maybe hope he gets a little help from Travis foreign hopefully bypass the scoop and go into the D but no it's all right so eerily quiet in this hall now you can hear every flip with the tension after all that drama are you kidding we're still like recovering almost nice stop oh no singer these old games they punish misses but DJ survives yep oh gets nothing nothing for a trip to the top okay he's still alive he still has about eight oh good oh nice bronze over that was very dangerous and he survived all right unless you're gonna get that b is he getting them another a little insert help there I think it kind of draws it to one another in lane and he's built up his bonus pretty nice he really behooves him to get himself there it is the Spinners lit and let's see if you can go up there and get that a to multiply oh and then no just like that all right that's okay that was a good box yeah that was a good ball so uh DJ Now is at about 120 and uh still about 90 000 behind Robert who's got to be he's got to smell it at this point oh yeah even with his mask on he can smell this and the thing is this if David can get a second place it will force a tiebreaker for first if Robert wins and David Gets a second yes was that so yes all right but he's still pretty far behind Travis even yep well not that far oh he's not that far behind Travis at all so it could get very interesting okay so Travis ends up with hundred and well Travis has another ball and uh here it is no that was it that was it that was all five no that was Ball Four yeah yeah this is the championship ball but Travis already played his ball five so he's done yeah with 170. 179 okay yeah 179 actually 180 update that for us Carl 180 660 it looks like there you go all right we'll allow it at this hour so he lit extra ball yeah we still don't know what that does but it could be 20 000 points or could be nothing oh oh man all right so Robert Byers finishes up with yeah under 38 all right on there 237 820. there we go all right Tom my's gonna do a 200 000 Point ball right here oh it does remember your ABCs that was one scary answer right there insert a fear yes oh all right all right here it is uh what what is what is the LIE right here DJ needs um DJ well DJ's up so it's not it uh so David needs to pass Travis first okay so DJs about a hundred thousand points to make it interesting right yeah he needs to pass Travis and Travis okay so he needs him out he needs about a hundred thousand points this ball so he needs a top at about 140 to make it uh interesting and uh all Robert Byers can do is sit and wait yep oh man oh no out of control okay there we go with a nice shot to the spinner oh man it hates going in there all right there we go scoop I love it it's so tense I know it's so quiet in here right now it's been very loud for the last 13 hours or so and now it is there you go he's got the shot can I get that hey yes he can get the a that's his bonus X uh his extra ball is lit too oh how's it going nice it still doesn't have a spinner lid but uh bounce it over nice stop it there you go there you go he's chipping away but um this kind of this this isn't really gonna do it he needs that spinner lid he needs more bonus hello all right bails out at the right moment there oh no mistake and our champion is Robert Byers what a match Robert uh congratulations to Robert Byers um congratulations to all four of these great players who gave us a very exciting championship match even has a face look at that there's the show boating yes you deserve it El gonador the winner deserve a little show body what the heck all right we do have a tie between third and fourth place which is uh who is um Travis and Tom and that is a tiebreaker match considering the um and everything we got one more game we got one more game so I thought it was over it's not over all right did we deliver was that excitement yeah we had everything we had drama we had controversy we had technical issues uh wow I'm just I'm tired already I was tired now even more tired all right so first place Robert Bowers is our champion he's on the banner um he gets the big big trophy uh I think they're awarding it to him right now yeah and player and who's our fourth player uh our fourth finish is um Travis we got uh we have a tiebreaker between third and fourth third and fourth okay so who so Tom came in second yep I think uh no not no it's Travis and Tom for uh I think DJ okay I'm sorry sorry about that DJ uh all right so DJ second raw ryers is first and uh concerning the stakes there is going to be a tie breaker yes um well the difference is actually quite a bit it's like 300 bucks right yeah and uh probably about five to ten juicy plump croppers yeah who cares about 300 bucks I want the Five Points right and some Hardware too right I do know people yeah well everyone's getting Hardware right I don't think there's a fourth place I don't know if there's a fourth place for Hardware you know there really should be yeah I know if you can make a top four no I don't think so come on no come on nowhere man no you gotta make the top three come on what what gold silver bronze and what aluminum yeah what the heck is it I don't know no I don't know oh you can make a tin I guess you can make it's coming in fourth place in a tournament like this is quite an accomplishment but that being said the stakes are pretty high meteor um meteor I'm gonna let you two gentlemen call this one and uh I'm going to retire to my Bluetooth are you kidding me oh so you're okay with the first and second place when it comes to third and fourth you're like oh okay it's not working no matter what happens short of uh short of a replaying that game I think oh no I don't know this is pretty exciting oh see oh now he wants it is only a two-player game so what do you do you're just shooting that spinner right I mean you can break it down to that just shoot the spinner it's all about the spinner and I don't think this is gonna be a long game usually this is yeah this is a pretty quick game this is a three ball game correct yeah it's a free ball game and it goes pretty fast and uh um I saw Tim sesson roll this one earlier today um it was pretty impressive yeah oh he's got a Christmas tree over there on the spinner I don't know what is he gonna do um you can tap it over look at that oh my God that is dangerous very brave it is unfortunately though when he did that you know what did one of the letters that was missing and we said spinner he's awesome Carl we can probably take the scores off oh yeah we probably can but first i'm going to announce the winner of the Marco Specialties oh yeah draw today is Danielle Wilcox of Seattle congratulations congratulations and what did she win prizes from Marco okay there you go I think like a translate it was yeah it was it every day a different pack of some sort I have unfortunately forgotten what today thank you to our generous uh thank you yes thank you um Marco just sold me some Harlem Harlem Globetrotters drop targets last week and they arrived in mere days like two nice by the way it's not Marco it's not cool come on you know we're gonna say it right let's say all right all right and that's definitely oh you guys might be right you know could have saved actually because this game is gonna be a quick one oh yeah a quick one and there are now like four people left in this building one of them is Colin MacAlpine you can see him right here yeah with the light reflecting off his head and uh I'm not sure who else we got there I think we've already have Angry Girlfriends Too or something it's uh definitely getting back to the uh the die hards I would say yeah why are we still here we know the great thing about this place is when it's over you just go to your hotel you can walk there in five minutes don't worry the ball search will clear that out that's what we thought it was going to be a fast game and then this happened what's going on over here and uh you know Bob Matthews no spring chicken himself I think is napping and oh he's back he's back he's there Bob wants to go home too so that's what he's like he was right there oh you're giving them plugs what's going on yeah okay by the way most of us I think look like this right I think I'm lucky I think with my Cuban Heritage and I was able to get some some extra one in the middle you know I'm not bald anymore I used to be but now look at this yeah what do you call it I call it something that has been annoying my girlfriend for about a year strangely enough so she stopped complaining about it for some reason I'm starting to think about cutting it I don't know if there's a correlation there oh right on the left flipper that's nice because it was on the left side of the Playfield that's very nice setting up a rip potential absolutely you know what my favorite part about this is they can probably hear every word we're saying oh yeah that's so quiet I think so all right Bob Matthews is closing the machine go Bob uh by the way some uh trivia this is the best selling game I believe that Stern ever put out Stern Electronics really oh yeah um followed by I believe uh flight 2000 and then Stars oh and this was one of the first licensed titles people don't remember that it was a Sean Connery Disaster Movie yeah kind of a forerunner I think to your like deep impacts and Armageddon really yeah like a pre-armageddon type of thing yes they were giant meteors coming to destroy the Earth oh man it used to be when I was a kid it was on TV like every other Sunday and I never made it all the way through um that was a beautiful like not only a save but the the rip too the old rip and save yeah saving ramp yeah it was exactly um so Travis has really regrouped after his uh tilt yeah you know there's something to be said for that oh look at this setup look at this setup right here I mean he could come out of this with some Hardware oh he missed it though what happened there are people are just starting to Bellow randomly okay right now that's what that is oh yeah Robert Byers is still feeling the uh adrenaline and who can blame him what a huge win you know yeah it's got his name on a banner now yeah that's amazing that would be the best thing more than the cash more in the wild yeah the glory of always being up there Glory you can retire at that point yeah we're like the modern Gaelic Gladiators I mean we don't kill each other we just you know kill each other at pinball oh look at that trust look at that that's what the kids call it right the trust the trust the chill maneuver nice oh man think about that for a minute Robert packed that thing in his suitcase and brought it here oh that Luchador mask that Lucha Libre he was very confident very nice ball uh half a million yeah he is in the bone Zone look at that okay oh boy so he's got a times 100 on uh four time yeah all right Tom that was a slight deficit but it can certainly be done in even one ball cancel out those multipliers come on and that uh bonus X carries over too so he's uh starting ball three with uh some really good bonus acts okay hence his summer home and the bone Zone yeah see it ah I don't know I think Tom Tom might be a little gassed that's awesome Steam yeah he's walking around a little bit like uh that's what Travis was he was saving himself for this for this battle yeah I can't believe fourth place that's just mean no a trophy no what do you mean we have plaques for fourth place all right you don't get a trophy if you get a plan I I I don't like it gets Flats no Johnny gets the trophy first place gets this gorgeous trophy the other three get plaques Bingo all right so they're not playing for Hardware they're playing for money they're just playing for money and Glory see but that's the thing the trophy is a representation of Glory so is the plaque yeah I just I feel like it's you it's good that you get something no no aluminum Place everyone says never listen to Johnny I think I can agree with that a lot okay I'm still gonna be vocal what the heck foreign I think so all right what else are they gonna do go to sleep come on oh look at that I love these Stern inlands these kind of curved things the only problem is you get a lot of hops more so I would say there we go okay you got a nice rip there oh it's a little late man that was juicy four more of those and you're right back in there oh there it is nice look at that thing go oh I kind of did the return it's okay look at those inlades oh man nice yes we saw that you saw that from all right far away what a match to wrap this up good congratulations to Travis uh taking third congratulations to uh to Tom Graf for coming in fourth and the plaques are about to get handed out yep and uh Johnny Brian and myself are going to excuse ourselves from the booth thank you very much for joining us and uh come back tomorrow we're only halfway through this puppy
