Hosts express appreciation for venue ('my dream place') and competitive quality ('high level play'). Some frustration evident regarding machine reliability issues (Star Trek lock, Black Rose cannon). Overall positive energy toward competition and player skill, balanced by acknowledgment of difficulty and equipment challenges. ### Signals - **[competitive_signal]** Pin-Masters uses stroke play format with nine-hole course, par-5 scoring, and target scores derived from prior Nationals data to calibrate difficulty against elite player field (confidence: high) — Host explains: 'stroke play we have nine games on on the course each game has a different Target score set for a par of five balls' and 'you're being judged against everyone that all the state champions and provincial Champions so the course is US Open hard' - **[gameplay_signal]** Tournament commentary reveals multiple viable strategies on games like Star Trek (multiball vs. mode play) and Black Rose (whirlpool vs. locks vs. center ramp), with player flow states and cradle avoidance as advanced techniques (confidence: high) — Discussion of non-cradle multiball play: 'some players who can just feel the flow...just not stop' and Black Rose strategies: 'you want some Secrets here's what you do come to Secrets these ramps every time you hit a ramp' - **[product_concern]** Star Trek Premium exhibits consistent lock mechanism issues (shots not collecting, difficulty holding locks) and Black Rose has documented design flaw with cannon plastic crevice catching balls during play (confidence: high) — Star Trek: 'Have you noticed the lock hole underneath the Enterprise not collecting the shots' and Black Rose: 'Cannon is plastic set into the Playfield so what happens is you have a crevice...the ball gets caught in there when you're playing' - **[event_signal]** 2019 Pin-Masters Day 2 schedule modified to 9:00 a.m. start time (Saturday recovery consideration); featured group and scorecard management handled by tournament staff; live scoring broadcast with volunteer support (confidence: high) — Host: 'we have to be back at 9:00 a.m. tomorrow...a sharp special they changed the time...it's Saturday night's party night people going to recover by 9' - **[gameplay_signal]** Tournament par targets intentionally set to US Open difficulty level, calibrated against elite national-level play, resulting in many players scoring over par and few overpar finishes (confidence: high) — Host: 'you're not seeing as many players overpar because you're being judged against everyone...state champions and provincial Champions...the course is US Open hard...that's on purpose' - **[gameplay_signal]** Black Rose Pirates' double broadside cannon award is randomized rather than guaranteed as first occurrence, creating variability in strategy and scoring outcomes (confidence: high) — Player question/host response: 'is that still true is that still the double no no it's random random it is random' - **[competitive_signal]** Tournament play demonstrates wide variance in player execution on tight/difficult machines; some players (e.g., Jasmine Jay) show strong individual game skill despite lower overall scores; advanced techniques like controlled flow play differentiate elite players (confidence: medium) — Commentary on Jasmine Jay: 'she had some great games very skilled player' and on flow play: 'flow players...just not stop and also this game does reward combos...they'll just keep going with it until they miss' - **[content_signal]** IE Pinball producing live-streamed tournament coverage with real-time play-by-play commentary, scoreboard management, and audience interaction (chat questions) (confidence: high) — Broadcast structure with live scorecard updates, feature group

hosted in well-equipped retro arcade venue featuring pinball, Nintendo 64, Magic: The Gathering, Dreamcast, Shinobi, and other classic gaming infrastructure (confidence: high) — Host: 'this is like my dream place here it's got magic the Gathering Nintendo 64 games and a ton of pinball right and Shinobi Master System games...original unhacked Dreamcast games' - **[gameplay_signal]** Star Trek Premium features double-shot combo system where consecutive shots double their base value; players can strategically combo high-value shots (medals, super pop bumpers) to maximize returns (confidence: high) — Host explains: 'the double double points for combo's favorite flow players...if you combo the Vengeance on the last hit that's 10 million...double your shots' --- ## Transcript shot oh my God no the boy was on the F goodness there for half a second oh and then let's transfer it into another double lway into a double catapult super what are we witnessing here clip all of [Music] this shot hit got it Clark is it Clark Clark got it first hey uh oh what what what just happened [Music] happen yours uh no I'm in the 3:00 you're in the 3:00 round all right well that means you get to see what your target is then yep basically um it looks like maybe around even is probably what what your head for heading for so I mean just uh fours and fives really which can actually make a pretty big difference on your strategy um on some games where you can basically play the game where you're probably not going to get a one doing a certain strategy but probably get a four or five um for example on you know Game of Thrones you might try to go for multiball because in five balls you should be able to get multiball right but if you needed a one or a two it might be too risky especially with with now that that's on casual mode that affects uh yeah certain decisions I mean you can you can really kick button a nice uh what's the first mod a grey Joy right cuz you get it you get you get Greyjoy ready you have Zac Stark so you want to get your swords out of the way get your multiplier combos up yep before you even do anything yeah and then hopefully that will be enough if you can just destroy grey joy that fifth one shot I I got a 100 million Lannister oh really like I don't even know how I just apparently that mode is worth a lot but it's hard to start because you have to not be in a mode and not have gry joy lit right what you're kind of frozen out of that's like You' have to really work your way around that in order to do that I usually it's Lister in the multiball gry Joy three times that's why I got Lannister I mean does it work I mean is it a better strategy to purposely fail failed uh gry Joy I mean you you get the first couple of shots I did see a couple players doing that they were like timing out their gry Joy right but I mean it's a shot making game just shoot the shot like none of the shots are going to kill you if you make them yeah even the dragon will not destroy you you die from missing it instead of going in it yeah we're talking strategy I'm sitting FR Fred Richardson's here by the way so what's up getting ready to play you're getting ready to play You're three okay what's your I'm you know your first I don't know I know I'm with Andre massov Okay um I tried to see if I get Asher Zach in my group um and uh excited to play with Andre we don't get to play together that often so yesterday we started on this actually star trk and I was rejected three times from that Center lock going up there and the uh drop Target not coming up quick enough exactly that definitely did happen during play on Thursday right flipper or left flipper um both and they were like mediocre shots like a four out of 10 in strength like not hard not super soft I didn't realize it has to um catch it in order to count correct you have to it has to stay behind there to get the lock cuz when I finally locked it I thought I was starting multiball and it said lock one and I was like oh no ouch so that hurts is this our featured group today or is that just first group oh this is Carl taking care that will be the feature group Jasmine Jay Dan and Derek Thompson right and apparently they will be starting on Star Trek once we clear I guess the remaining 10:00 group yeah it was funny there was one group that was like three matches behind when there were only like two other groups playing one more match it was It was kind of strange uh what was the score on Star Trek everybody has yeah everybody's got it there so that's done yeah this is been here for a bit so they've been uh what other game should we talk strategy on Ray uh Black Rose oh my goodness actually on this one there is no the you just shoot the world poool until you miss the world pool and then when you miss the world pool you shoot the I was Wonder people it's 20 shots for 15 million basically you get 1 2 3 4 million and then million million million million yeah and the score is only 15 million so you need like maybe 11 12 shots cuz you get the other points too what was the last tournament that was played in I remember watching it on a stream I played it at Nationals last year but no this was in between then and now and um everybody was doing locks yeah I mean you might as well just locks locks and this one actually is set up on factory settings where every ramp gives you a syn ship letter um and mult two three ball multiball gives you two syn ship letters so yeah yeah so it's actually well you sync one ship and it's game over yeah although I don't know if I'd even really want to S oh I know that shot so screw actually my my secret Strat is when you get it in the cannon shoot the whirlpool with the cannon yeah yeah cuz it actually the lock the lock too so the lock won't start double broad side but the ramp will correct so the the the shot has to be flashing right for it to count as one that will uh my other favorite secret Strat on that game is if you're one ship letter away from sink ship and you're in the cannon shooting up the left ramp gives you that last letter boom boom into the locker right here in the background Josh Sharpe giving the official particulars before we begin the second half of day two of the tradition of pin Masters in the lovely fields of Las Vegas where the grass is green but it's outside cuz we're in here this is like my dream place here it's got magic the Gathering Nintendo 64 games and a ton of pinball right and Shinobi Master System games to my left you know original unhacked Dreamcast games to my left over there yellow we have to be back at 9:00 a.m. tomorrow whoever qualifies wow it's a sharp sharp sharp special a sharp special they changed the time you know it's Saturday night's party night people going to recover by 9 what was that announcement it we're just waiting for the rest of the official announcements here we go here comes our groups that's me good luck all right I'm Fred is on TR he will attempt to not be late on the end of line shot oh that scoop is brutal always go early CU if you miss you just go around the around the wheel again you know good luck F go I think I might have heard my name but I I did all right Rond David be going to Star and the rest of the groups are getting spelled out right now and there will of course be some groups waiting because there are not enough games for groups well actually not enough holes cuz there nine holes actually there is there 36 people so that does work out and once we do get started I we'll have to wait until Carl gets back here to refresh the board I believe although we do have our feature group listed on the lower third so and we're ready for our warm-ups here again this is just warm-ups not live where you test out all the strange shots you're not going to try during the actual game test the flippers shake the machine a little bit go ahead shake a little bit look at the Tilt y everyone just testing just testing for things they don't want to do question in the chat what do you look for doing practice well the first thing you want to look for is the Tilt settings how what can you get away with if it's not the first thing I look for I hope not to forget to to do that um post passes things like that get your basic shots down I know on this one just testing the staging of the flippers remember remembering to do that because this one has the upper flipper and then answer your questions about bounces get in that get you know this is the Le the premium you don't have to worry about the about the bounce out of the left kick out cuz that always comes to a flipper but um this game is pretty straightforward I mean it's like you hit the locks and you just hope you survive out of it how the bounce passes you know how the rubber on the bounces things like that but you only have 30 wink nudge seconds to test all this so it's kind of hard to answer all these questions so it's a good idea to spy on other people who are doing their 30 seconds as well just get whatever information you can yeah there's not much there's not much extracurricular on Star Trek especially on Star Trek premium I mean the only thing I had written on Star Trek before I started on Thursday was that you can nudge the game that's literally all I had written so because everything else is pretty standard what we will see all the various strategies on how to get this 35 million I mean some people might play this straight up and just go for standard mode play might as far as like doing space jump doing prime directive doing safety Enterprise others might concentrate on nero3 deep combine that with a Vengeance multiball maybe klling on multiball difficulty is normal so completing the first set of green lock Targets on the middle left will light two locks just like normal and then you have to complete it again to get the third lock so as long as you can survive that and not drain down an out lane off the targets and you'll be pretty good of course the danger of course of doing that is hitting a lock Target and then just casing it right down an out lane immediately on a game with no ball save oh potential Danger All right so we are we should be live now it feels live yeah that that look of disappointment felt live all right we on so again our uh yeah that was that was a real ball you hated how you practice ball just so smooth and nice and ites the ball doesn't even want to leave and then it's time to it's time to plunge for real and all of a sudden the ball has eyes and it knows how to leave really quickly and we have prime directive starting off here this going standard play just looking like we're going to backand into some away team and all we go just like as if it was a normal a normal route game careful I know it's I know it's early now you just started yep I yes take a breath you got away with that potential fumble back hand's nice all right no work on the a away team surprisingly look like just going for just going for a natural play here no away team even tested the Vengeance there but the keys is still alive he has three more button presses and there's his multiball if he can get that started now measure it boom all right but he he did end the mode on that shot so this is going to be a dry Vengeance with no mode but even so he can use this to really do some real work if he can complete this and get the victory laps maybe a 10 million defeat on the Vengeance you can combo that the combo Rule still apply you know if you can combo a shots worth double so if you he can combo the Vengeance on the last hit that's 10 million and in a game where you need 35 million that will be [Music] huge he does have his addab ball ready you see the black hole Target to the right of the Vengeance ship and to the left of the right ramp is now flashing that should give him his addab ball should he need to use it he doesn't want to use it yet asz he still has three balls in play little bit of a jailbreak there to keep three balls in play but we're still rolling there goes one now might be the time to get that out of ball there's two and grace period and no there we are we are out so he has already gone through his Vengeance multiball with one mode with 8 million a bit below expectations on that especially with leaving that all on the board question saw some players playing at Nationals who chose not to cradle doing multer ball might what might why might someone choose this I'm trying to read I'm failing well if they're feeling the flow you have some players who can just feel the flow and know where every ball is and just not stop and also this game does reward combos with double shots that's one way but so you know the double double points for combo's favorite flow players so they'll just keep going with it until they miss and some players just don't miss for a long time and so it becomes like well why stop if things are working right now we are working on Kling on one so this is maybe not a perfectly standard choice for most games we'll see maybe if he goes for three deep and each of these round one modes has an alternate Mode called the away away team if you should choose to advance to the next level of that mode you can take it the Moe will become quote harder un quote but also increase your your points for those shots and allow you to get to the medals quicker all right he's not going to go three deep with Kling gon's going to go down the left side of the triangle get his super pop bumpers and also attack some high pointed mes along the way yeah away team that's big that's your spinner away team on destroy the drill is the left spinner and he will not survive it so what that will do since he did get the away team that will get him past that mode so when he starts up he will be able to select the next mode if he did not get the away team he would have continued with that mode right guys mean steps up for ball one and that is ball one with no ball save then you're not you're not allow you're not allowed to even slip up a little bit with no ball save on especially when you're plunging right into excitement like this like this game does you see a lot of s plunging perfect that's excellent ball on flipper that's what you need that attempted a backhand on the on the away team probably ended up down the right out lane there with no side rubbers the outlanes are Battle hey spend as much time as you want in those bumpers they're little points but they matter get those get those bonus xes too that bonus X effects of course bonus but you carry it carries over with number of medals you got missions all that good stuff so that oh yeah this that that shot on vengeance is very uh strange I mean you think you got it that's one strike luckily that was only one strike you think you got that center Shot really mastered and dialed in but it just doesn't go in there right until you have to slip it in there and look at that feed from the Vengeance that's ridiculous but he survived it oh straight down there I mean maybe a little more effort on the nudge possibly but he already had a strike and he may have thought he had a piece of the right Flipper on it as it was curving toward it but then it was sort of Sliding Away you see right now just we have the next mode ready we just select prime directive and that'll be super pop bumpers that's unfortunate wait did that not count that did not count as a lock didn't make it far enough there's an opto back there it didn't quite catch that was going to be off the lock off the lock Targets in the lock but no matter it's cleaned up it's going to be multiball here it's time for big points and big jackpots here double rules still are in play so I just keeping it moving you will double your shots and the mode still running but what isn't on is the edab balls got two Targets left to get we need the stand up to the left of the right ramp is off and also the black hole stand up which to the left of that need those two to turn on the black hole which going the edal yeah that's right it might be worth just to take down some jackpots that's double there you go good patience all right jailbreak we're still alive the mode is ended there's a double shot Super Pop puers is now lit well now running rather and the goal on this is 35 million as a super but too bad it was not doubled that super could have been doubled you always want to double the super if you can if you can pay attention to when it's coming but no matter the add ball is here and now the jackpots are really up now couple more to go to like the super and there go the super pop bumpers as well combinations now we're transitioning back to single Play Let's Get control all right 216 and he's passed but there's the look up and there's the acknowledgement and there we go let it go congratulations on two balls it's a very good start again most of that was performance during during uh cling on multiball with the double jackpots he was getting and getting a double jackpot is just simply just comboing into it hitting a shot and hitting a double shot with a jackpot on it works nice save by as me there see if she's going to investigate some Vengeance targets first that's what it looks like yep definitely going for vengeance oh it just lobed right on out get that just that little bit of looseness there those outlanes are watching very closely for any sort of loss of concentration or control yeah that seems to be the play off the punch just let it fall to the right flipper just get ball and flipper ball and flipper that's what we want survives warp drive failure now space jump the most efficient way on space jump is hit four yellow shots into the away team and then hit the center that gets you to the goal nice okay shoot the Vengeance and that will end the mode and give you a medal in that case of gold cuz he's on Silver right now and that is gold like double points for that combo into the last shot double for the gold medal all the double rules carry through and that normal that medal would have been worth 1 million but it was comboed so yes it is a 2 million gold medal uh waste of a black hole award see what's next is it going to be prime directive or save the Enterprise which one which one prime directive is looking good and decision has been made prime directive and the prime directive just hit any shot to start the away team to have the away team ready rather once you get the your way team then the shots change to rolling through the top Lanes to advance through the medals faster or you could just decide to shoot major shots and it will take a little bit longer to get your away team nice surviv what drive failure again a little late on it he'll get another chance working on bronze all right chance at the away team little bit early paid for that Battle again if you are joining us this is the 2019 pin Masters the second half of day two of stroke play we have nine games on on the course each game has a different Target score set for a par of five balls if you do not reach the target score in five balls then you will receive a score of between six and 10 depending on what score you did receive and to figure that out you just add you just subtract 20% of the target for each stroke so for example this is 35 million for Star Trek you have you have five balls get that in 35 million if you do it in one ball it's a holding one do it in two balls that's two Etc but if you don't do it in five you have to do whatever your score was for and compare it to what 6 Seven 8 n and 10 Strokes would be and for example six Strokes would be 28 million because 20% of 35 is 7 so 20 35 - 7 is 28 so if you get 28 million between 28 and 349 it's that's a six and so on and so on down until hopefully you don't get the dreaded 10 we're ready to destroy the drill of allall three a little test of the lock Target get first lock Target completion will light two locks it was a good attempt at getting the bottom lock there good play is if you you shoot the the what ramp you hold the right flipper up often it will hit the bottom Target or the middle Target but the first two locks lit and you just see that lob yeah where are we now Prime direcor is still not Thea team yet all right get in there all right now you see the shots are only the top Lanes these are for much bigger points hope you can get it to go back up and down the top Lanes as the ball is trying to fine just let it go and put it right back up there careful little late on there that CU he's trying to find the orbit meanwhile the first two locks are lit there's a left orbit shot got to move that over oh too late with it okay but you see these points are coming through now that's a million and the metal and the round is over waiting for the final shot final shot coming Nice Shot got the final shot end at the mode and locked the ball in one move and he'll be able to choose another mode which will probably be save the Enterprise I wouldn't think he would be trying to go for the double feature attacking destroy the drill and Nero first yep going for Save the Enterprise now all right save the Enterprise shoot the green shots and then the away team at will light after one shot which we are waiting for presently still waiting still waiting oh yeah this said that same lob that y mean had but on the other flippers it's happening it's happening more often well that was a decent bonus collect there he does have a lot of modes done well he has a couple modes done he has some medal so each those medals are going to go toward the bonus and we come to a point where even getting bonus X's will become very important to getting that 35 all right 17 million Target score 35 again 35 million with the locks lit it's adding more time on to destroy the drill which could be good that's oh we saw the laob in progress and it was like time stopped for a moment as the ball just kept arcing over and it's like like your brain is trying to tell your body do something do it and then it just doesn't do it until it's too late all right where are we destroy the drill this is ball for that's three button presses survive it all right if you complete those left the right Amber targets I guess they're orange that fulfills your Torpedoes you got three button presses toward Vengeance she might save them but meanwhile destroy the drill is over we're going to move to the next mode which may be cing on Battle and it is cling on battle shooting the red shots the away away team will make the red shots only on the ramps but will make them worth a lot five button presses yes that's all of them are good start Vengeance this will be pretty good with vengeance with a ramp mode would not be too shabby at all live live live this is bad all right here's a controlled shot put it in there and here we go got Vengeance going which are which is the center shot first to get that ball out of there to start three ball play if it this times out if the 15 seconds times out well not not 15 seconds rather it's not many seconds at all it's only a two ball so you pretty much would have to do it very quickly as this was set on super hard settings that I did not know until just then but anyway back back to our cling on mode which is if the ramps and time has run out so the final shot is there on the left ramp but unfortunately it will not be collected the mode has ended boo yay hi Steve so is that boo like a good boo or boo that she didn't hit the final shot oh I'm good I I just took a two on uh Tron all right that's a good game to get a two on yeah uh Andre is in my group he also took A2 and I think he's one or two strokes ahead of me so okay we got great competition today this afternoon uh group about half of the uh field that's qualified right now is playing right so basically you don't want to go poooo the bed and knock yourself out you're already already in right you want to be careful just to play you can play par play normally yeah just play a normal game I don't think anybody's out here to play par though no that which might be part of the issue I mean you see erer had such a great run probably because he was just playing normally correct so that's also part of it so we're over here on Star Trek yesterday did me dirty oh have you noticed the lock hole underneath the Enterprise not collecting the shots we notic the shots the shot continuing to be difficult to make like the the shot where people know where they think it is on the flipper is not this correct so always missing sides really hard really hard like yeah cuz you think you're going to force it in there instead I ended up uh dribbling a few of them in there yesterday and they weren't holding that well can I at all any adjust oh wa no you saw that happening it was just a little late in the reaction and unfortunately that late reactions lead to drains and leads to Strokes added on your record and that will be five and outt Sh okay just wondering okay thanks and with 18 18 million that will be a 1098 nojust Strokes for 18 million no adjustments made on Vengeance on the uh Vengeance shot um not enough complainers I did my part here we go jazz is up ball five she was in my group yesterday uh thought she played well score didn't reflect it but she had some great games very skilled player and a good friend of ours uh backhanding this spinner shot was death yesterday it's bad yeah the only few times I tried on Thursday I was not pleased with my performance on that spinner and she just got robbed on there we're looking at the Tron scoring sheet so I don't remember right so this is 35 million so an 11 11 would be a n would be a nine there wow so as they move on to Black Rose pirate time the original Pirates of the Caribbean those of you out there that have not played Black Rose uh uh real fun game a lot of fun to play um one of the most difficult aspects of this game is that Cannon and what I mean by difficult is that Cannon uh is plastic set into the Playfield so what happens is you have a crevice that runs because that plastic piece turns so there has to be kind of a bumper or a a space in between the Playfield and the plastic piece well guess what happens the ball gets caught in there when you're playing with your food down low with your flippers likes to get caught in those grooves and does you dirty some bad dirty goes around certain inserts and steers it out I mean you you can see the ball just circling the drain all the way like for catching and going you know it's just going to drop right in the middle cuz that's it's notice how tight that is very nice that he was able to not tilt and get up into the broadside swing from the ringing level oh must be practice yeah this is all practice because let's see and the lower third is the scores here I'm not going to be updating this because I don't know how and this is Carl setup and so I'm not going to touch that so that's going to have to stay where it is until Carl back he is coming back at some point see right I I hope so or at least or at least someone who knows how to update it like uh like Adam Becker who is doing a diligent job as well he's doing that now yeah because I will not touch it yeah so well we have volunteers good people behind us all right so how did you end up attack how are you going to attack this to get this 15 it's 15 million right it's it's less than a cannon shot 12 or 15 it be 15 sh but you know the need to get there is here's what you do you want some Secrets here's what you do come to Secrets these ramps every time you hit a ramp gives you a letter and spell Shi so if you want to go the 20 mil route boom especially if you need the last one hit the left ramp and then it will open the locker go right in the other thing you can do is just really Whirlpool all day right you can whirl poool go to million and you're getting your locks go ahead and do a multiball and the third strategy then is what I employed yesterday in a probably do it again today is up the center just up the center just features in that way right cuz the first one is the double broadside right is that still true is that still the double no no it's random random it is random and there's some in there that are worth good points um you know you get pulie 500 thou Smasher there's another 2 m that's 2 and a half mil you're already one six of the way toore yeah that's a pretty good start okay looks like my group's up on Star Wars next and someone's playing so we'll take a moment there unfortunately uh sorry that was sarcastic we jump Four Queens just not something you want to play in a pin golf format all of these scores in case you don't know at home um were determined off of Thursday's play for the Nationals all our scores were recorded most of our scor were recorded and we took those scores and made uh what they chose for their goals and then of course applied the formula to it for not reaching a lot of good data there I mean yeah yeah it high level play good players it was sure and so these uh these goals are challenging I think that's why you're not seeing as many players overpar because you're being you know um judged against everyone that all the state champions and provincial right Champions so the course is US Open hard really exactly so that's on purpose yes seeing a lot of tilting going on over here in Black Rose it's very tight so I wonder if it's been judged to be too tight double broadside is saying its first cannon award I could have swore I got a video mode yesterday first I do know that is yes it's a lit shot when you get up into there but um I do know once you get one you can go back up and relight it and you got another chance for 2 mil right there if you can hit it in succession so that's why I think that middle shot is valuable it can be hit from either a flipper not easily and jazz is starting us off on game two so it is 15 million as a Target okay I'm up run some all right good luck Fred good luck with that Star Wars up what if we will just see someone just go after the whirlpool until it's over since it is a shot that returns to the flipper and just keep going for it especially since you've seen how tight this game is just from us looking at the warm-ups you breathe on it too hard will too all right we're on our way question from the chat when it comes to an autop plunge multi called for juggling or for cheesing or something like that that you try to beat Auto plune the second ball for a soft plunge but don't make it the first try you mean if it just stays in there well if it's not egregious you guess you won't get called on it but luckily I don't have to make that type of call but if it's really bad like some really bad cheesing like people do on Tommy sometimes where you just keep all the balls in there and just use one ball supers but it is on camera so at least for this group we'll be able to see any shinanigans all right moving on skill shots has opened the locker all right so he's not going after the whp here we're going straight for modes first one straight up radio mode Let's see and the verdict no not even close he's dead right but that is 2 million so he's on his way trying to go after another mode all right it multiball and now this is the time to shoot some ramps and get some sink ship letters three more to go nice save just tipped it off there off the right flipper to get it a little bit of control there's another ramp two more to go the light sink ship getting there or you could try to load up the lock some more to get three ball one more and and just one more bit of concentration to get one more ramp oh careful careful that was a tilt warning off of a hard flip he just pushed it a little bit all right sink ship is ready yeah and he was he he was kind of stuck there because he noticed how tight how tight this this game is though I think that might have froze him up J thanks yeah that's unless it's Dan but he doesn't have the right [Laughter] stuff all right so now here we go almost jinxed him all right so well Jay is looking to start his first mode and whoa you see you can see a bit of that insert that Fred was talking about there see how that took a crazy little knuckle ball off of that Cannon insert gets a little weird all right here's our first shot got targets lit he hit you hit one of them that's all you got to do and we rounded up in there anyway got a double broadside too he can keep going with this he can get this done pretty quickly if he double broadsides to it 25 seconds all right boom there's a second one that's 2 million comes here comes for 4 million plenty of time plenty of time yes for 4 million now this one for 8 million and there you go 81 2 4 and 8 is 16 and he's done that's how you do it let's not even involve any Whirlpool or any locks or nothing just broadside for one two 48 and he's done that gives you 15 good job [Music] Jay very impressive that's how start nothing like a good Ace to get everything going all right let's see if that plunge went somewhere else that I don't know what happened where was that a soft plunge that just went all right okay I totally missed even look I was just ready to look at the board and all of a sudden the ball was going down the right out lane the dangers of the soft plunge all right Jeff Tois just stepped in just for a second I thought I saw you so I assume there was a craps table around apparently there's a stream no taking a break Sten popamatic crafts is not here I've already I've regaled them on the greatness that is Papa mic craps so never play the real game again yeah I don't need I why Splash chips why have no control right why you know why get why interrupt everybody else's betting lines and reaching over stuff and I can just hit a screen and and maybe the way some of us are playing why even play Pinball today right okay that shot just ended that shot just ended uh ended Derek's uh goal there he's done so 20 million again whoa that soft PL no that's fine that was a that's a completed wall okay oh good gu but want did she think get to test that out I mean that's information that is information I mean into the skill shot skill Shot opens the locker and then it goes down again with no with no ball saveing no forgiveness no any of that even not a chance J yeah even that open opening plunge so important to be able to recover off of it at least it's going into the cannon now shot for double broadside no got it all right yeah I need a lit targets to do it so now basically back up 1 2 48 will give you 15 so four shots covers it long timer yep you got all pretty much all day catch it on the right oh that bounces is a little all right that bounce is a little awkward but he got it done third shot and he already started at 9 million so this this is probably the shot oh he's at five now he's at five that gives him 9 million and this is the shot makes the shot it's over no done that it was it was a little bit of a of a spot where you could have saved it but the shake was a little late it's not like you can shake it very much anyway but you can tell that he knew exactly where he needed to shake it and he also knew that he was too late so a couple of PL throughs for people who have already passed I know how much Josh cannot stand ball saves but I got to tell you on the game of Star Wars you have got to put even the one second ball save on it maybe well just the argument would be just don't plunge the out lane then you know I mean I surprised people aren't just soft plunging more I guess just to get the ball on a flipper well Raymond did he's in my group right now and he soft plunged right to the middle mhm no switches right no ball see you later amazing was like oh look at that even that was just a hard flip and that's a tilt warning absolutely that's two strikes just for that and yes the board did move but very imperceptibly did it move I mean it was very tough ramps wereth Millions not not as good as a double broads side but this is for 30 seconds what do you do here Sten all the ramps hit the ramps yeah hit the whirlpool right now since the double BRS side is out of play the whirpool now for the rest of the game how's the post pass to it post pass is okay good job nice hit so just do that yeah really just catch here she going to go she going to hit it again oh still time still lots of time and that's out but with the lock lit that could very much help so at least when he has gets back up I just put the ball on the lock and then two letters away three letters away I guess from sink chip I I can't express to those watching at home how tight these tilts are how difficult the games are playing I mean I don't know if I've played in a tournament where they were this difficult I I really don't I can't think not even Papa wow nice job with SH using the cannon to shoot the ramp that will add a letter still needs two more to go but he's only four 4 and A2 million away that Cannon doesn't always make it up the ramp too all right what is this oh this is just video mode but let's see if we can get half a million and potentially more here we go and the verdict oh T success now let's see where this ball ends up when it Kick's kicked out oh for 2 million broadside that was definitely exciting the way that came out hurry up running hurry up running too late all right hurry up is just ended and now the struggle continues unless he can just build up that Whirlpool really so that's where you're going right now he's not very far away if he knows where that shot is he about 3 million away he can't backand it what right but still you got one 2 3 four and then one and one that's 3 million good Loops there not going to try to post over he was good on the he's only two and a half million away two shots Two Shots away from a lock no again off the top of that slingshot is bad news on the top of any slingshot ever is bad Stephen good luck all right Jeff goes back into battle as we'll get two more plunge offs for people who have already passed all right second plunge off for player who has passed and now we get to Yas me's fourth oh don't do it okay that was that was efforting toward the right out lane again no good hit to only get one warning though great job there all right three letters for the lock you complete the inlanes it will light the lock actually the lock is lit now get it in there all right lock made two ball now we need enough letters four letters to go to light the sink ship wow that ball arrived and then it left but luckily there's still the ability to relock that ball anytime you want but just completing the end Lanes 08 swim hurry up but how do you swim with a game this tight oh you got to be careful get away away shark no shark no shark eating was she using the flipper buttons or the fire she using the fire button tilt oh man like that's a fair point I don't know why they always set this game up with a sneeze tilt like people might actually enjoy this game if it was set up you know not with a Snee you don't even need a sneeze tilt cuz those outlanes are so gigantic that no matter which way it comes in there just always goes out even if you could save it uh-oh we don't have our guy who can clear the uh monitor here and I'm not sure which button it is oh boy the one that says clear whiteboard no nope it's something over escape button maybe Escape someone says but that's scary I don't want to touch anything I almost touched it so I can uh message Carl real quick here you don't want to go over there anyway if the ball's in that part of the The View that's bad yeah Spock loock ladder double broadside still there so at with 6 million only needed that's three shots lock naal still plenty still plenty of time to get some double broadside in or you can lock a ball there's one NOP it went in and did not go all the way in well take a lock though that lock though all right I had to go like five multiballs before I could get one that went to a flipper there we go there we go all right how many letters left come on board show us the letters all right there's a little trick you can do on this game where if you wait for the multiball animation just a little bit uh then it won't kick out the ball until you hit three switches whereas if you plunge right away it will kick out the other ball on the like right away which is can be nice all right so I would definitely relock this one out Carl himself says Escape key on on the so if if it blows up all right all right we survived one ball just went in back in the lock Tim is on you got to get the second ball in there oh she didn't want that side ramp oh I guess not that side ramp has hidden treasure lit a getting close there's the there's the third or the second lot for three ball three ball is be getting pretty close she has three ball just tripping no I mean just tripping over the 15 million oh yeah yeah there it is that's 2 million that's got to be it done yeah it's over yeah finish four balls nice par par on this game is everyone yeah all right so we have two million to go the skill shots half a m and then basically shoot the shoot the war P to get it done oh my goodness the outlane almost again oh man oh Derek that is not [Music] success so that will be a six for Derek where everyone else has passed so we soon move to the what's the next game after this is Iron Man is IR manmen different men of powers and abil quick spin move oh someone's in the way someone's in the way of the X-Men let's see what is the goal on X-Men 15 million wow I feel like you could get that in one Wolverine 15 you get that in a strong Wolverine I me a good a really good a really good one like a lap and a half of it maybe yes if you get the super and then some bonus shots in there the super also gives you 3x bonus right so that can help right that can help so on X-Men with um Wolverine set the difficult because you have to hit the captive ball I guess that's the standard play now for every X-Men ever is to just I guess so I don't know Wolverine always on difficult yeah looks like uh it doesn't understand the rules so the rules for this is pin golf so you have a Target score um that you're trying to make and then once you make that score you stop playing and the number of balls that it took you to get to that score is your score for the the the hole as it will and there's 18 holes just like uh golf um we on the back nine today they uh the uh back nine looks mysteriously just like the front nine because they're the same games we're here at uh wonderful Grand line games in Las Vegas Nevada if you're in town uh make sure to check them out we've got uh tons of retro video games N64 Super Nintendo other memorabilia yeah other assorted anime and Magic together memorabilia for your perusal and purchase looks like I'm about to be up on Game of Thrones Game of Thrones Game of Thrones casual all right good luck all right once again X-Men will be 15 will'll be a 15 million goal once we get everything started and we should be able to see Wolverine's exposed captive ball that makes it much difficult much more difficult to hit instead of just hitting a big Wolverine piece you got to have to hit the C the ball but is difficult to recover from and with 15 million being just out of the way of most normal strategies I mean I wonder if we'll see anyone try to light up some Hellfire or Brotherhood multiballs at the start that's an alternate strategy we' seen sometimes but with this format it's pretty risky to go after those side targets already for fear of going down a quick out lane and taking a and please remain patient as we get ready to set up the rig for the next game because I believe there is a game in progress on it yep that's what I'm looking at now there is a game in progress right now the rig is still just in in front of black rose so yeah if I could where is it oh here it is guess that works oh cool thanks yeah I'm not going to touch anything until you tell me cuz I don't know how to do it I barely know from Texas so kind of know these buttons so now I learned another button so X-Men is up in the upper right corner you see Jason wrick is playing Attack From Mars which is right next to it and then behind that is apparently we're waiting for an X-Men yeah I guess I'm back here um oh good we switched the scenes so we're not staring at the yeah you told me where the room view button was so I touched it oh good so I didn't know where that game in progress I assume right yeah you don't want to slide it slide it in there in between balls no move the camera in in between players or no yeah yeah like when he when when when his Ball's over just slide it in there and then we continue also phrasing on that that last well it's pinball we you know worry about phrasing while talking about pinball you're going to be in trouble you know either one right yeah fig you guys change screen you want me to move something else you know what I'm saying like when when this player who I can't really see ends their ball in X-Men just slide it in until the next player comes so we can watch something so we can still watch X-Men you know we can watch X-Men now but not right now but when when he's when this player's done just say okay give me a second SL it in there yeah see the wonderful venue at flippers SPI underground in Las Vegas and the top floor of a nondescript multi-level mini mall I guess do St mini malls is what this is I got to take the scenic route here today uh not on the freeway but on the uh there like a highway that runs parallel and uh nice little Drive yeah still see the strip in the distance because you know there are no buildings between here and there so it's like we can just see it looks like it's right there the chat wants a deep rooted secret but I don't think uh no I like working yeah so thanks but no I just we had that plan to slide the rig in but we have some having a great ball on X-Men apparently just because we wanted to get it in there what's your next event Steve quite honestly I'm not sure after this are you doing Italy I am doing Italy for now you doing New York I may not be doing that I will'll see I am doing New York and pinfest is a maybe okay but I might see you in New York definitely New York pinfest maybe depending on some things New York I can't believe they sold out like all 160 uh spots unlimited qualify oh yeah well they probably well last year they probably would have sold it out earlier if they had limited it before prob reason why they didn't sell that cuz it wasn't limited and then they no they they limited it Li yeah they were like look once okay now it's going to be limited then it was sold out the rest of them in 4 seconds that's the secret to getting people to come to your tournament apparently we shouldn't do that for Northwest champs yeah just say it's limited it's gone yeah that's a great idea it's the secret to selling out tournament D Thompson knows he did that for for y pin it sold out yeah X-Men is up all right all right so now we're going back we are ready to go hooray we oh look at that run all right so the players are not correct here but bear with us we'll just uh yeah this is this is the grouping for the for the forsome right before our group future group Magneto multiball at least we joined in a good spot where Magneto started two two Heroes that'll be what 200k 400k jackpots I think it's minimum 500 so like no it's there's no if you have nothing it's 50k and then I think no I know but the big shot yeah 600 like your big shot would be 500 if you have one person but then it goes up if they're solid it's weird sure what it is but the max is a million you can't get any more than a million shot wow 600,000 just for two flashing yeah those thought it was only 400,000 yeah those values were raised but the minimum is 500 for just starting with one person but you only got one shot right so that's why you always always always play Wolverine before Magneto but it's pretty hard not to so at least you can do some damage if you get that Wolverine super then you get even more value meanwhile the villain mode was just ended I believe yeah Sabertooth was ended okay does anyone actually know any of the villain modes I know some of them well Sentinels is obvious just hit everything uhhuh right saber D is weird because it's like the directions change like there's a good direction and a bad one okay and Wolverine is always like nothing so like the bad direction is score is literally nothing like 25,000 okay and then the good one is okay like 200,000 yeah and then eventually you destroy them and it's like 8 million like you just saw okay um juggernaut's nice because you have certain shots with damag juggernaut's um helmet like the ramp ramp damages helmet um yeah both ramps damages element and I think Cyclops does too and then are other shots which just Advan the point value and he he goes through a truck or through other obstacles so like if you shoot like an orbit it'll he'll show him going through a truck and it'll raise the value of the ramp shots but you need but you need the ramp shots to damage his helmet to take it off so that Professor X can get him you know just like in the comics so which one which mode was that Juggernaut yeah you have to damage his helmet enough so that his helmet get broken and then you can go in Professor X and then Professor X does the thing and gets it wow very for big points true to the lore yeah whoa who's uh playing now does anyone know who this is I'm not sure and I don't have the list in front of me so I really don't know yeah I wonder if I can look at the roster here uh player list no that doesn't work for this one no it's not in order of group so that doesn't help the only way you could no there's not really a way to know I actually you could tell by what scores are filled in so find out which no that doesn't find out which uh grp which group has a score filled in for Black Rose but not for X-Men that's how you can find it out all right so black hole black black rose hole number six right so make sure they have a have a hole to six but no hole seven all right so we have our group so it's not that tell I know he's friends with Carrie I saw them talking someone's having a long light cycle Monica's up now see maybe I can find Monica's group now if I can just look and see throughout all these names where he is but they're not in in order no right that's not going to help either right you just got to so so anyway let's do some real play play byplay here which here's Wolverine multiball right so not sure how many directions he shot correctly but it wasn't enough to get to the the checkpoint where you see the different enemies show up for bigger points so he's still on the minor enemies you can tell which one is the right direction the correct direction because the lights are the flashing faster are the correct directions and also the screen gives you a clue it points to the correct direction in the lower left corner of the display so the game tell him to go to the right which are cyclops Iceman and Phoenix but that mode has ended and it looks like Johnny is the only one left on the course because it was the target of 15 million the other three players have passed getting more scored score updates right now from Adam Brecker Shadow King is started Shadow King is prot is potentially a pretty big mode you can uh shoot a shot shoot the shots to free the X-Men from the shadow King's mental traps shots to Xavier also help nice magnet lock lock light there right there's the Phoenix shot that feet didn't look too friendly but it was friendlier than before you still got to find the professor xshot in order for this in order to advance through this mode though once he does that then it'll it'll point to one of the other villains or one of the other X-Men okay so it's Wolverines and now freed Wolverine you go back in there back into the Professor X shot to free more villains more More Heroes my heroes and villains jeez ah come on take out Wolverine he needs to be freed that's a Miss oh no yeah up and over now there a lot of those that's been happening on different games L the up over now we have a special guest coming in 45 minutes here a Las Vegas native who's going to be coming here a game designer stepen you know very well from Deep rout Jon Norris is going to be stopping by oh cool live I have a feeling we'll have some other discussions to have amongst ourselves no do it on the mic just no one's listening it'll be exciting to see him um he saw some of the pictures of I think some of this play and maybe our big Sushi dinner last night and said I wish I knew you were there in Vegas and so I said here's where we are and he said I will be there yay y all right all right we're ready now this is our warm-up so so what are some questions to answer on the warm-ups here I mean you're going to soft plunge I mean what find out how tough Wolverine is that's irrelevant cuz he's random find out where the shot is on Magneto cuz it's kind of off center find out if your post passes work I was good on on the right flip I was seeing if I was getting rejected from the scoop which happened a bit I uh drained a ball by not flipping when it kicked it out of the scoop because it did this nice little uh Escape Escape Escape figure it out I'm Audio Only I don't do video chat wants a hot take from Jeff some secret uh a deep secret well April Fool's Day is coming up on uh Monday I'd imagine there's going to be a few coming out sorry that's all I've got signed sealed and delivered but what a month we're going to be seeing especially if you're going to that Midwest show we already know black Knight's going to be there probably maybe very likely another game so it's going to be I I said it before 2019 is going to be the best year of pinball ever and I thought 2018 was spectacular all right Game of Thrones practice time see you Stephen all right see you Jeff we got people finding out where those Hellfire targets were that was pretty interesting against is still warm up still just trying to figure out what's going on with the game here you can get a preview of saber's mode I find out where that where that lock shot is on the right although you don't necessarily need it I mean once you have the locks ready the middle shot will work for a lock when on the virtual lock does it still work even though the lights's not on and everybody gets their 30 wink nudge seconds worth of warmup on each game before we start that's we're going through now that's a nice combo if you can repeat that if you can repeat the right spinner on cyclops into the ramp or the right spinner in the Rogue and do that over and over it's really nice yeah good find out where the Tilt is even though it's not going to be the same Once you walk back up again because it's it's always different depending on who nudged it before and all right headphones going in this feels like a real ball and what do you do to block out the sound when you're playing pinball block out distractions I always like to hear the sound of the game all right first decision soft plunge into what that was a hopefully soft plunge into a right flipper catch but that didn't work out now the kick out from the Blackbird scoop has been working from left to right just kicking it off oh one shot to Wolverine bounced back and forth and had Wolverine ready but then teased and more soft plunging I mean do you take a lock first do you take a skill shot first do you take nothing and then just get a ball to the right flipper that was attempt at a ramp shot and this is just wow this we're just all over the place just to give me control that second danger was a all right decision one coming that was a go for a skill shot oh no all right we're still fine no we're not because the magnet destroys destroys that was just wrong just took it and threw it down the left out lane ugly all right so everybody basically has the same score all right a skill shot we're off and running you want to start some Heroes just shoot their shots to start their respective modes that was ridiculous had one successful shot and then the ball just took the perfect line underneath Wolverine's left arm and down the the middle this is wow okay so we all have to progress progress ress process that first ball which is basically nothing so everybody stepped up to the te and whiffed on the first ball so now we go for for stroke number two Wolverine started right into the first shot for Wolverine awesome so once you go the correct direction you have to hit Wolverine to continue luckily did get that ball back with the very little ball saved as available which is now already gone you want to add a ball you have to light you have to light the scoop and that's not going to happen us use the inlanes like the scoop for the black bird but that is not going to happen there is very little ball save available for any multiball and no ball save at the start cruel ah the worst award that's basically a nothing it's like pop score 4,000 they already score three at the start now his next Wolverine is going to be pretty far so he's probably going to steer away from that maybe not 10 hits Wolverine and that was after the two that he just got so that's how many hits it takes meanwhile three more Target hits on the left will give him hell fire wonder if we might go for it NOP more Wolverine work that's a long way whoa an early attempt at I believe a shot at Wolverine was way too early and ended up being a botch post catch and out before we even realized [Music] it working on some Heroes is not a bad idea so I mean really we can work on each hero well well each mutant rather we're probably going to stay story relevant getting each mutant at least started will add toward the value of each shot for Magneto multiv ball and also the number of shots available for Magneto multiv ball both of which are good things Iceman started which will prevent start a start of Wolverine but he does have a villain to start traditional first one is Sentinel since it lights everything on the board all right so everything's lit for smaller points but then it becomes really significant as you get further down in the mode oh and that ball just died I mean we were on our way and then we weren't finals is tomorrow starting at 9 a.m. for people who make the top 16 so if you finish just out of the finals show up at nine just in case the people who are in the finals party a little too hard on Saturday night look at that that is just that hits nothing on the way down we've seen that drain before and it just seems like time stops as the ball just slowly crawls down the center all right D's up for Revenge after that first ball skill shot made here we go let's get on our way here storm beating storm just needs one shot shoot the left ramp now you can also shoot the spinner shoot other things you can shoot the cyclop spinner to load up some more points but the big 2 million shot is the ramp oh back in is that a lock that is a lock ball one all right so now he's got that cleared he's got hit the targets in order to light locks two three and four this I like I like playing this game I like playing the pro version more than a premium because of that Iceman ramp but I like playing the pro version it's we going to get a skill shot make a lock all right now we have progressed into lighting locks again but before that we're going to have another villain probably Sentinels maybe not oh okay thought better of it no wait Omega Red okay Omega Red is going to capture certain Heroes mutants I keep saying the wrong one and you're going to have to free them so the first one is Beast pretty great great points for this but I mean we're starting off with Beast which is not an easy shot he's going for it oh that's one danger and not two okay that was a pretty good shake for only one danger yeah night crawler yes yeah forget him true that's true time him out if he can he's worth half a m a hit but still he gets in the way of the ramp and other things who that's a Professor X as we play who's that Pokemon with Professor X if you don't have all four locks in Magneto you could just pound the center and then get all the locks that way but you wouldn't get all four balls all right someone is returning to the booth very happy because apparently he just got an ace on he just got an ace on his first on on his hole so he's breathing better modest Game of Thrones the round is on me ho in one ho in one on Game of Thrones casual Edition four times groy end it boom wow that's big four times great joy with 4X here on the on the last one he's all right you're back in it Wolverine is ready now if the magnet would behave and give him a chance to shoot at it did give him one chance here it is now he can start Wolverine maybe he's going to risk for going for a villain first oh I think what he was doing is he might have been going in there to get the last in lane for uh um for um Blackbird to light black bird when he had Wolverine who was that who did that Dan not sure I think that was Dan I know it wasn't Derek I barely remember my name right now name tags yeah this is Jay so that was Dan yeah this is Jay now Jay loses his junk after every ball oh god oh boy there's that lav again man he survived it brotherhood's ready that instantly lights the villain uh kick out so he go right for it Wolverine okay yeah if he went in there he could have selected a non-villain multiball in the Wolverine if he wanted to and then come out and would had the villain still ready again so a bit of a missed opportunity there but we do have Wolverine started oh and that will not come back and no oh juggling juggled three or four times and then it did not did was not able to recover but when he does get back up he will have a multiball ready at the villains should he choose to go for that which I hope he will that is lock one so in order to relight the locks you have to hit the left and right lock targets that's done so now locks two three and four are all lit and you can use the center Shot to get the locks even though the lock light is not lit it's ready Wolverine comes that was fortunate that multiball started because Wolverine pushed it down the left out lane that was very fortunate but the notice the ball save is already over before I can before I can even say make sure you go the right direction you got to talk faster all right now as me he did get the at ball that's where ball save is coming from so that Ball's coming back that one's coming back now we're back to three each time you go the correct direction you get the larger points I think it's 700 and then you have to hit Wolverine to to continue down the hole that down the hall of the facility of the research facility there's another good shot if you get an incorrect Direction it's just worth less points and you don't make progress down the hall all right where we got a villain lit this is not a multiball villain but a good round of Sentinels will really work right here I'm always kind of confused which villain to start off with I Sentinel seems Sentinels is is the traditional first one because of a whole board lights what does Shadow King do Shadow King what Shadow King does is he will take control of the of the minds of certain heroes or whatever certain mutants MH and so you have to hit for Professor X just like just like okay you hit Professor X once then Shadow King takes control of somebody let's say whoever it is Wolverine right then you hit Wolverine and you free him and then you just free you just go back and forth freeing those people meanwhile Sentinel is just simple it just lights up the board so it's it's lots of small points which then get really significant if you have if you can get a multiball in here so she's going to have plenty of time to start this multiball like plenty and there we go we are ready to go this is pretty big because Magneto with three mutants plus Sentinels running the points will start scrolling up 700,000 a hit and you've got Beast running Beast is done Beast for 2 million not very long to go two more million to go ball sa is still on and ball saers restored with an anab ball and she will be done in a few seconds and just a few more seconds we're wait for the for the score to show up Rogue is done that will take her over the top and there it is 15 million and yming passes sorry it's just that simple just give me W just give me a a Sentinels into Magneto multiball and that will get it done H really because she started at seven and then started Magneto and everything just scores so like anything you know Wolverine Wolverine is not only a multiball shot it's also a sentinal shot so she got that done pretty quickly here's storm and storm has literally just shoot the left ramp once for 2 million spinter spins gives you points as well but you see small ones very small ones left now we also have Cyclops this is nice we can shoot Cyclops into the left ramp that will finish Cyclops and storm in one move the storm is the left ramp and you can shoot cyclop spinner in the left ramp start good timing and that ball was dead well that's all right great that ball was dead and now everything is back Storm still storm is still running and cyclop is still running you can hit get that spinner right in the storm that will finish two mutants this is just because of the Heroes Mod that's on this right you nor you stack you can stack yeah you can stack Heroes is um selection in the rules yeah love it oh careful that was a good nudge with no strikes but unfortunately we had the mode pass away and the multiball pass away and now Cyclops is done and we're back with Beast locks lit but a good a good byproduct of this is he he is starting a lot of villains that's one strike that's two strikes and the debounce will save him oh the vibration out vition Derrick's looking up like how come on Derek that was a big move that was just delayed come on Dereck so the dbal was like yeah we'll keep you around for a bit until you go do anything else and once you do anything else that will kill you and then and then he had the nerve to also flip the ball as well so listen you can't have everything you can't pick the group that we're watching and expect to have six dangers all right right nice try Derek no you can't Deb no I'm talking about the debounce in the in the in the uh tilt P so that you don't just get danger danger tilt like in the old games yep yeah but you can like shove the game really hard once and you'll get two dangers hopefully on most St games unless you do it so hard that you get the third one meanwhile how many locks do we have we'll find out right now rog's a good mode literally rog's using all the uncontrollable powers that she's inherited lots of shots score minor points nice way of digging that out into an unintentional shot of an in Lane I mean that was right off the edge of a flipper and he got that back that was impressive oh look at this lob that's good nice catch but then all right he recovered and Wolverine start Rogue is still running for a little bit but the big part is that Wolverine has started here so now again he needs to go the correct direction which right now is to the right cuz that's the there's no way of telling how long rogue's going to last for though is it no it's like but yeah cuz cuz that covers up it covers up the animation for rogue so but that at of ball is good that was very very Choice there Rogue is still running Rogue is done okay so 3x multiplier there ends rogue good mode collecting bonus oh he still has to make a right there it is there's the right turn he needs to hit Wolverine to defeat the first oh andit split Jane and now with the bonus X that is not enough he still has to stay on the course and Dan for the first time ever can't believe what happened until the last time it happened all right so now remember when we had that villain for the multiv ball we have it still so Jay has help has uh Brotherhood ready because the two Targets the two drop the two spot Targets on the right are on on so you can tell that he's finished enough targets that he needs for Brotherhood cuz they're on yep these these these guys sure those so since that's on we know that the the the Brotherhood is ready and villain in the scoop yep multiball so get get in the scoop at least start that he could he could start a a hero before that but that's a lot of risk a lot I mean you're already on Ball Four you want to put some points on the board well another issue is he has no in Lane so it' be really hard to light the ad ball as well yep he is in a little bit of he's in minimum security jail I mean he's not in full jail conjugal visits yeah he does have outs but it's like he has work he has he has to do a thing and then work while he's in the thing you know right about now uh oh wait we just had something happen there with a pinball went missing skipped him the a pinball went missing and then it skipped his turn so now we're going to have to have some compensation and other official particulars happening for that so that's a definite disadvantage with all the progress made yeah but I mean he just going to add a ball to it right easier to start a wolverine but still I mean you want that now six balls oh and now okay God bless technology so make that six balls and now it's fine no damage I Didn't Know It Go went up to six it goes up to 10 so we're all good are you telling us all deep root games are going to be 10 ball um they can you can if you want sure maybe more maybe put it to 20 or 99 it's up to you that's a that's a good dollar spent why not no all my games aren't set on eightball but I do have elastics over the outlanes thanks Dr Warren look at these amateurs still playing Game of Thrones I've been done for an hour is that is that your group oh yeah really Raymond uh Stewart Luke so when you play so when you played gry draw you were able to get the dragon shot done that my last shot okay that was I was wondering cuz I like yeah like like how I went I went Center left orbit Zac Stark shot Martell far right orbit and then uh I was able to hit the dragon not on the first attempt but which is amazing cuz I thought oh oh great Jo is going to be done boom yep take it but it takes a long time for the animation to come up I I figur I knew I got a lot of points on that didn't know what BR all right so now we have an autop plunger alert with two balls launched out now we have more activity but this is this is doesn't matter as far as the score because player three is already passed just things are getting confused where now the game is miscounting one in the shooter Lane right now we should be okay right boy that that was fortunate that player three had already completed that's that may be okay we'll see what happens when Derek plunges this if another ball doesn't have to just pop out it was because of Derek's aggressive tilt on the last ball that's what I'm blaming it on all right things seem clear thumbs up to Adam Becker good decision making there we enjoyed that that was a very aggressive move for somehow only one strike there's two strikes and then we still have the vibrations and death may be imminent yeah you need to hold this here for about a minute just don't move I mean this is even too soon just keep just look away from the game and also don't backhand and scoop either I know you're thinking about it okay uhoh don't backhand the scoop nope where's the shot right or it he can transfer it to the right flipper if he wants to shoot the scoop I mean oh there we go to shoot the scoop to get a willing started but backand SC the ball moves so fast it goes over the hole and then you're in trouble see I was getting ejected on the right flipper that's interesting good good to know I mean I think I think it's worn out just enough to where the right flipper is it lands in there more often that's that was trouble already then now the set sen knows the board is lit that's a lock the two he's got plenty of time to start this multiball with Sentinels plenty he doesn't need to rush 42 42 seconds and those time those seconds will be refilled ball three locked three one more nice ises that better count and will it count and not yes it does count Sentinel was going to be too fast for it to count but yeah he's ready and is Wolverine ready Wolverine is ready he's got W Wolverine is ready for his shot for multiball this is a lot he's got five five Heroes this is going to be good how much jackpot worth now it's going to be what like eight that's at least 800 possibly a million let's see we'll find out once he hits one of the people he has some hit one of them okay he's got it 900 all right a few more shots he's got his there's his ad ball he's in it this is good HD shot is nice damage on Magneto when you have five mutants active another Wolverine shot there good good keep keep it going oh is that yeah meanwhile Iceman did finish and you see how Sentinels came out with 97 seconds because L what's the goal 15 million you got it got it there there you go done good stack there all right so now you got to keep in mind that this is ball five for Dan right but ball four for Jay when he gets up yeah good point so we have to make sure we keep mindful of that all right now multiball ready for wol for uh Magneto thought might he might have chosen to go get a villain first but he did not he needs points on the board well good luck Dan points in the board I'm G to go check on those Chumps on Game of Thrones all right Jeff has gone to check on progress on his game meanwhile we have Magneto running at 700,000 a shot 700,000 the shot unfortunately no villain started but if he can grind away enough at this and make enough progress he's soon to pass and it's passing is imminent and there it is 15 million and done he will glance up he's G he's another player has told him and he's got it and so pass very well done now this is Jay's fourth ball not five I know it says five is fourth cuz he had that malfunction happened to him on the previous ball this is ball for and we have a nice villain sitting here but not many backand will happen there oh brotherhood's available whoa careful Wolverine no evil evil Wolverine why so terrible magnet's always dangerous on that Wolverine it is my goodness he throws it where he wants to yeah so now it's time for the plunge offs yep plunge it plunge it down this game's already set to six ball so we've covered that issue we've had before so this game will just continue on ball six and this will be Jay's fifth ball one more plunge get rid of another player who has passed that's a great feature on the Sterns just com in and at a ball just ding one more ball that's it no problem T director's friend all right skill shot what lock is this ball two now he can get lock three and four but there's lock three now I really appreciate him getting a villain before he does this don't do Magneto yet think about a villain think about no see he he'll go in there but he doesn't have a lot of value yeah cuz he has no hero started right two that's going to be 600,000 a shot if he had brought if he had brought um who does he have Wolverine and Wolverine and Iceman which is okay shots at least when they get relit there's his at ball all right here we go looks like he has Brotherhood lit if he can get into the scoop after this might be able to do some damage okay points are going on the board because of Wolverine so just stay alive and he can really recover this so just pretty much Magneto Wolverine Magneto Wolverine really 8 million coming gold is 15 million oh okay another magnet left out lane just another one because to the villains and then and then off of Wolverine's kidney and down I mean wow and thus ends that game unfortunately with only 8 million with a target of 15 million so that'll be 3 6 n so that's an eight an eight next so Adam remembering to set it back to five balls and it is now is there a group on is there a group on Attack From Mars no attack from Mars is clear so we'll be going right to it I'll go move the rig for you if thank you the rig is being moved if you are just joining us we are here at the flippish spel underground in Las Vegas Nevada for the tradition of pen Masters Steve Balden here along with various commentators and players as they jump in and out for day two part two of qualifying the top 16 players will advance to Sunday's final at 900 a.m. for another round of play to determine a champion in order to play Ping golf we have nine holes nine pinball games throughout these rooms have Target scores on them if you reach that Target score in your game of five balls then that's whatever your score your your your score is whatever many balls it took if you do it in one ball it's one holding one if you do it in two it's two and so on if you don't reach the score in five balls then what what score you did get will be judged on whether you get six seven 8 n or 10 strokes and that's based on the target score and percentages off of that so for example X-Men is 15 million Target score so you have five balls to get 15 million if you do not then every 20% less of that is another stroke so since 20% of 15 million is 3 million 12 million becomes a nine and then 9 million becomes an eight and so forth do that over nine holes and that's how you have your Ping golf course the top 16 will move on to tomorrow's final round and here we go with attack for Mars warm-ups are happening right now this game is playing tough Steve it's no ball save I assume right off the no ball save Y no ball save off the plunge so it makes that super skill shot decision very interesting that's a decision I'm I think most people are not to making right not doing it right so and then the uh locks the default lineman code apparently for five ball is extra hard locks so you got to qualify it for every lock so six shots yep six shots to get into multiball we're seeing a lot of people going for Total Nuclear Annihilation as such right cuz you get points on the board throughout throughout the way so and the Mystery is 50 million right it's set to 50 million yeah okay everyone gets 50 everyone gets the 50 million so no deterministic order of awards unfortunately no video mode no strobe no fun stuff only 5050 million that's it wow look at these combos yes you know look look at these combos which of course happen during warm-ups because it's a warm-up and then all of a sudden it's the real game and then uh do you like the Remake compared to the original well it's the same game other than the flippers yeah flippers a little that makes all the difference right yeah you know I mean and the remakes it's sometimes it's hard to see with the lights whether you have all three like see the left ramp yep you know it's tough to see are you compl or not do I have it all or not and I figured it was just the Remake I was playing but no it's it's a consistent thing but other than that it's a new game and it feels nice and and this was literally a brand new game when we brought it in okay had four plays and we were looking at the audits last night and it had uh like 400 plays give or take you know 39 right and it had 166 tilts so okay 33% of the games resulted in uh you know tilts so don't breathe on it yeah they loosened it up between last night and tonight to make it a little bit more forgiving now again cow shows up cows irrelevant no cow video mode 50 million yeah answer the question about the Tilt yeah look yeah you look how much you can get away with right now during warm-ups that that's all irrelevant right now because now the Tilt B's moving yep so everything's all different it's just such a tease that you get all that action and then the game's you start and you nudge it just a little bit harder than you did during warm-ups cuz the tension is on yep and so I was like how did I just tilt y because you shook it a little bit more or you even worse you flipped it too hard that's the worst yeah or you didn't wait long enough when someone else tilted and kind of Step Up and want of you're getting anxious let's go let's go oh all right yes mean takes the the regular skill shot have we had anybody like pounding the ship trying to get away with cold blooded murder for a billion and a half no just no okay I wonder if any any any murder happening you know trying to get away with with with with crimes against humanity like how do you not die from hitting the center yeah I pretty much uh went right for Total Nuclear Annihilation and ended up getting two balls locked on ball one and couldn't finish the multiball in the next four balls it was so brutal all right quick check on the target score for Attack From Mars it's 1.5 billion which is just Out Of Reach of you know what is that three ship as like definitely two yeah like little bounce over and again that bounce over is not strong and you can't make it much stronger cuz you don't want to nudge up cuz you might get a danger Point that's right so you're got to take what you can get and that bounce over was uh meanwhile that was pretty friendly oh survived that all right moving on a nice great nudge great nudge another nudge good wow she is living dangerously got to get control yeah that was a perfect Parabola down the middle and um what kind of start was that 277 okay that's a reasonable Pace to do it in five balls she's out of 10 range at least 300 yeah that's 300 million a ball for five balls gives you a billion and a half yeah but all right so again regular skill shots for Derek absolutely nice drop catch there guess that feed even that feed is little is definitely friendly from a left to right shot there left to right Bounce Off The Flipper rather yep more right orbit I assume here right just to keep going progress yeah I think for sure it's right orbit yep oh nice nice nice no no oh no yeah the first one was all right then he had to do another backup nudge and that was it yeah he's uh I mean either shake and get a tilt or you know kiss the ball goodby no matter what right get 10 million in bonus or whatever get not much yeah and that's certainly a case where you're thinking in warm-ups you know you get a pretty good shove out of it yeah but now it's moving it's everything's different yeah so it's like the warm-ups just change everything yep the pressure's on the pressure is on right now yet no one going for super skill no one I fig I mean if I was player four see I don't know see if I was player four and I was playing a normal game then I would but see since I'm playing myself on a course then no you know like if this were a game where I was playing against people and there were three people who failed in front of me yeah let's go for it yeah yeah but since I'm playing the course yep that's different and that's a it's an interesting fact when you think about Peng golf qualifying is you're not playing against anybody else you're playing against yourself it's just the it's just you and the course that's it wow that kick out went off the joint of the left flipper that was the worst feed I've seen from that kick out in a while that's a little firm look he's got the ship open going for the ship oh yeah he paying the price I was to see if he was able to get control that would he have continued to go for the ship but the game did not let him get control after that hit was one of you grab it and say okay let's let's take the first ship down for 200 mil cuz I think it was closed yeah there's a super skill shot attempt successful look what just happened all right and now a right ramp this is getting good look at this guy dial in dialed in huge this is uh one of our local flipper spielers here plays with us every Saturday all right so now that was significant progress I mean because yeah for 30 seconds so good at those ramps I wouldn't be against shooting a left ramp a right ramp into the ship for 300 million yeah at that point I mean sure you might want to go for the billion but again it's just you in the course you don't necessarily have to go for the billion that's it you take the 300 million and move on I think we saw the billion on Thursday yeah we saw the billion a couple of times on Thursday that was uh now I guess it wasn't pin golf play so you know was against other other players so you want to get the billion that's definitely uh a way to put pressure on who you're playing force them to do it there she goes she's got the go yeah so it's so tough to see like on her on her ramp and her orbit there she's done her or or's done but the yeah that's the only one that's that isn't done are you taking 100 million right here nope you going for that I'm going for at least the ramp for the 300 if I get to 300 then I'm going for come on there we go the party has started you can definitely get 300 ah come on there we go now the party's really started now bounce over she can definitely get 500 let's see there a left ramp for 500 and then an orbit to finish it off oh look at this could be a multiball a multiball so now we have multiball with about a 260 million hurry up on the board assuming she takes that done because the billion is now out of play clock is still ticking behind the scenes on the hurry up really want to hit that Center just by accident that's done okay hurry up for 27 million now we have to wait for for the game shows a score and couple of more seconds and it will be over gu a couple more seconds there it is and she has passed ypine has passed with very well done combination of two hurry up stack plus the multiball yes this is the group we are showing we have the one rig We are following this group now as this group finishes I mean that's not the night's not over at that point because I assume there will be more play which we could cover but we'll see at that point meanwhile Derek steps up and sees how Jasmine did that with relative ease tried to mirror that but was unfortunately unable to do that all right Dan showing up with a quarter of aill to his to his name right now needing one and a half billion to pass no progress on locks little progress on Total Nuclear Annihilation but the ship is down the ship shield is what the tournament mode on this one is the 50 million but it doesn't have the deterministic ROM on it so we can't give those other exciting Awards which would be nice too but no this one is only given 50 million in tournament mode yeah unfortunately we don't get to see the cool stuff like the video mode and other stuff strobe although I'm sure if like those things were on then the target score might have incre might be increased because of that and bounce over is nice and friendly for what we're doing here he's going for Total Nuclear Annihilation he just looking for to make progress there you can like Martian attack by completing the Martian targets that's the standard way to do it it's kind of hard to see with these lights but he he needs the A and the n in order to complete marshing like the lower n on the right and the middle a on on the left and you'll have Martian and you can start Martian attack but yeah video mode is only available through Stroke of Luck and so is strobe getting really close all right party started one hurry up is running see if he drop catch this nope they just went for a straight regular bounce over is it going to take the 100 or will he go for it that is too dangerous that is gone that is gone you can see that yeah any any significant move results in termination Stroke of Luck is the inlane like the four inlane outlanes so basically just getting four inlanes completed that gives you the stroke a up so that's the four bottom Lanes all right so Jay stepping up with it oh wow hit that right off the bat but unfortunately since it was the skill super skill shot it did not like the hurry up so this hurry up is only 100 million so he actually lost progress for that interestingly little bit of a intricacy in the rules there but no matter he does have the ship open and needing the orbits to complete for Total Nuclear Annihilation all right one down on the right two to go and on the left he still needs three shots dangerous dangerous get in control orbit done needs two more shots on each side well hello the real wobbly chair I recognize your unique username from all right so this is a plunge off for y me's ball because she has already passed and there we go all right now Derek with 200 million and the shield still up and not no locks done he just he just needs to play as if he's just started the game let's just go let's get some orbits let's get some Rams let's get control please give him control come on game there we go now we're on the way now we're on the way there we go starting to feel it getting the bounce over still friendly okay good now on this bounce over will he choos to shoot the orbit shoot the ramp shoots the orbit the hurry Up's ready that that kick out was a little bit fast there he does have control and he can make a decision clearly going for Total Nuclear Annihilation so now with the left ramp left over it ready he can start those two there's a lock shot for him he is working on getting all four no oh that nudge was almost a so close he almost was able to get that back in he was almost able to do some Ninja jumps little ninja guiding action to get it back in there but not quite then it just leaked too far to the outside and the inevitable happened meanwhile Dan only needs one right ramp and one right orbit to start Total Nuclear Annihilation so he certainly see he would take a regular skill but I wondering if he would I wonder if he would try a drop stop a drop catch rather out of that kick out if the ball would land in the kick out hole that would really set up some right orbit shots or right ramp shot he could do either and that would put him right back in oh wow what happened there the best laid plans the game had other decision we have one we have one setup here we're following this group if you want to check out standings go to ifpa pinball.com you will see near the top of the page links for the standings of the pin [Music] Masters all right Jay is up ready to make progress on Robert Englunds he needs two r two right orbits two left Orbits for Total Nuclear Annihilation and for Happy Times nudge that out nudge that out very good good subtle nudge very good good another good subtle nudge Off the Wall again no dangers oh get that yeah possible possible to do a slap save on it but definitely rough again a plunge off for yasmine's ball cuz she has passed the target score again this is one and a half billion is the target score for Attack From Mars all right where are we now Derek has made progress on the left he's not done much on his loss so he's focusing on Total Nuclear Annihilation and I would bet he's going to continue to go all in on that yeah he tried to Super skill shot and and orbit to complete that that counts for the ramp that was big that's big this is now this is now turned into a very interesting situation will he go for all three started the party on the left orbit that's one that's two oh don't breathe don't move don't breathe don't look at it okay probably safe now with one party started if he can get all three that's that'll be a 500 million hurry up oh but he's got to hurry up he's going to run out of time on this one 25 million is Middle minimum time and he is going to run out of time he will not be able to stack that hurry up but oh he did he got it in time it's stacked left orbit for half a billion that is one full period thank you Lyman bounce oh okay if we can bounce this over to the ramp that's half a billion all right here it is oh little bit late oh wow here it is here it isord he got it half a billion I can't believe that that dead pass it looked like it went off the rail what's his score 1.3 he just needs to survive here just a little bit and don't flip too hard oh no look at this it's it's he's going to pass this is imminent just don't flip too much unless there it is he has passon what a play at the beginning of the ball to Super skill the right ramp that was the key to to all that he cuz he was Far Behind he was way far behind and once he super skilled the right ramp it just likeing flipped over a car yeah yeah and he was right on the positive side do you know how that person got a ball save I don't know I was looking I was kind of DB it and I was I was wondering what happened is it cuz it the short the plunger missed the uh the the like the switches and then I think it might I think that would be correct yeah because the game didn't didn't know that it started yet and then it must have been like huh and then that maybe like no ball save is a fraction of a ball save yeah maybe all right so let's look out for for Dan as he is again he only needs one ramp and one orbit one right ramp and one right orbit but again part of is the right ramp one two three just a little bit too much yep too much you can see it hey can you backhand the cow ramp on this one or no I have not seen anyone try it doesn't look like you can I have not seen anyone attempt it just cuz I know how hard it is to hit the center Shot uh which uh penzi 39 which hurry up the uh yeah he got the right ramp he got he got the right ramp completion off of the skill shot off the super skill and that's what changed everything that's what changed everything you know so because he was far behind and all of a sudden he was right back in it for Total Nuclear Annihilation oh the 500 yeah that was that was three hurry ups that stacked he stacked three of them for the 500 so if you stack all four that's a billion but you don't necessarily need that oh man I mean that somehow that that ball found a way to just go around and hit nothing that was amazing meanwhile now we have yasmine's ball being plunged off and now dereck's ball will also get plunged off right thank you very much Dr curch for that information there that is the hurry up stack yes oh hello Raymond Raymond's here yep oh Raymond Davidson is here oh yeah Steve B's here hi Steve hey everybody welcome welcome to the tradition of pin Masters again if you just joined us the top 16 players will return on Sunday for the final round in the morning at 9 in the morning good luck guys good luck partying tonight yeah it is Vegas and it is Saturday I mean you know all right now back to the show where Dan is looking to all he's got his right orbit and nice what a job there wow well done so now he is right back in this this is going to look good cuz he's going to get some ball save to cover this that was 300 million that's 700 so he's got a billion now all right 1.2 just need some orbits there's a to there's a cash in there 1.3 just don't shake too much when you're flipping and this will be fine and he there we go we've got it 1.5 and Dan has passed he just hasn't seen it yet cuz the game is not showing him a score just play on just keep playing it there you go yes feels good feels good especially on that game my goodness see how much that score just jumps when you start when you start something good is like there like other linan games like your Monster Bash you know once you do something good then the point start rolling in if you're not doing anything good it's like a crawl I know you know moner very very true in that way it's brilliant oh he tried to oh tried to plunge off the skill sh what is happening can't survive that wow attack from Mar was just not having it not having it for Jay there goodness so now that will end our run on attack for Mars and soon we will have scores updated I mean I kind of think I could put it in cuz it's kind of obvious what to do on this score sheet yeah it looks pretty straightforward but but uh but I would rather internate director do it like Adam Becker who has been doing it uh all throughout today diligently working very hard hard to keep these things working and it's running smoothly all right so let's go to the room my apologies for that okay there we go that miss it so uh what is next Abra is next Abracadabra Abracadabra Abracadabra Abracadabra what is the Target on abraa cadav 30,000 30k yeah 30,000 which uh doesn't seem like a lot but oh boy man if you uh I almost you know if if you have a thousand pop bumper lit am I crazy am I crazy just to shoot it no you're not crazy at all take it hopefully you you can get it and go behind it and get multiple thousands and hundreds you can do on a on a good Target is a th unless you've got your you know unless you got the numb cranked up which you haven't done at that point the beginning yeah so yeah take a th000 hopefully you don't hit it too solid so it go down I did that mistake I hit one too solid and went click but hopefully you can hit it so go around the back and get like a couple thousands between the wall and a thousand and that could really help you it's almost worth just hitting targets for the 500 points even if they're not lit really yeah I mean just to get that get the target M done and just get that done yeah all right we're moving it take a ride we going to take a ride to Abracadabra somebody completed the lyrics for Abracadabra oh there it is that's it yep that's that is the name of that tune so the light on the right pop buper does is intermittent but right it's on yeah it's working I mean not not it's working but the Thousand is working see my my brain is half the uh the left cough strategy is uh aiming for right here so that it goes who my strator just went absolutely crazy no that's because we got scores updated oh that's funny sorry sorry okay it's clear clear so you shoot here and then goes into here you shoot here goes into here I'd only recommend that don't don't make just make sure it doesn't like I did shoot here and then go there that's what I did or um I bet I bet I've seen something like this before yeah yeah yes yes like the old the old Avatar before the Avatar was made I'm guessing this is practice Yeah it's practice and uh I and I suspect that the rule about not plunging the one is still in play is that still in play Don't PL the one don't don't do it because you plunge the one you plung the one and it does that there don't even have to draw it you saw it it was beautiful right so that was exactly don't do that it it it's really amazing to watch happen cuz it goes like this and then it's sort of like screw ball and then insert and then good night yeah right and so I like okay so when you plung the one you just flipped something judg anything just do anything cuz it's gone and so just make it not be gone looks like uh she tilted so that's the end of that practice game yeah practice game's done so I ass this is for Real unless she dates otherwise all right so again on EMS you practice and then you play and then the next player practices and then they play that's how we do it so the rules on ABC we got Target banks on the on the left and right we got thousand bubblers that you love but we also have the one through six lights which you have to compl I think there's only four of them on this game one through four I'm been confusing it with team one team one that I played two weeks ago which I like much better than this yes I I agree all right so if you get one through four which y me has made quick work already you advance the bonus ladder now now it's actually positive EV to start hitting targets instead of 2,000 for a lit Target and you can see it's which one's a lit it moves down oh man this is wow this is huge come on keep this going this is nice oh W did you see that turn it's so warped it's like a oh all right well you know just calm down here don't punch the one stay away from the one whatever you do on this game always try to save it off the right flipper yeah even if it looks like it should go to the left nice okay now and that's gone on oh see that is hard it's like the arm has an insert in it it's going off the arm and down they always say that they L this game plunged one plunged one oh nice see that one was so warped that it it delivered hand delivered it oh oh come on things were looking so great and now we're already on ball four three I think three okay maybe four I think four what ball is this but the lit Target is still worth 2,000 there's those thousand bumpers you know what finish it off with those thousand bumpers if you have to careful careful yes all right thank you now it's up 3,000 3,000 for a lit targets she just needs one lit Target or an outlane outlane would actually would actually do it right okay oh okay doesn't have any lit targets up there the two will seal it oh oh okay getting there there we go oh yes for the win wow and thank goodness because you see where the ball went right after it was like Broadway right down yep wow good job so I believe that was four I'm not sure we'll see if if this one drains and it's over then we know and that's what it was all right so yeah that was four believe so all right so now Derek will warm up and then he will play woo all right okay plunging to one has got a little bit uh less death than before but uh this game will lull you into a false sense of security I feel yeah really it's if you can get your one through four that increases the bonus value and yeah then it becomes get Target so once you advance to 2,000 then yeah get those targets down cuz even one lit Target will advant you pretty fast but don't sleep on the thousand bumpers I mean you know nothing nothing beats a nice thousand bumper into a wall and then more thousand bumpers on the way out because it'll switch between a th 100 on each hit so don't sleep on that especially if all your targets are already down I haven't seen anyone tilt on this yet so I mean tilt's pretty uh pretty liberal on this but uh one but also people are being very uh reticent to move because there are yeah jump right on we got we just got a special guest here we just got a very special guest joining and also it's not me it's like special guest introduce yourself and sign in please oh I'm Jon Norris and I'm here to watch a little bit of pin golf all right Jon Norris is here and I'm very glad right pin golf on the tradition of pin Masters on on Saturday we have top 16 people who are trying to fight to get to Sunday's action and uh we're following this we've been following this group all all day here but I'm glad you could drive by that's awesome oh yeah that's fantastic lots of good pinball I assume in Las Vegas I mean we know about the Hall of Fame this is a great location too yes um you know pin pinball in Las Vegas is you can go to like New York New York and play newer games and you can you can come to my house and play some three or four games I have oh we didn't get that invite but now we do now we have it right on if you're on the chat line it's party at John's Place yeah so unfortunately I'm not prepared and the games need to be cleaned and waxed and light next time next time R check he's handing out rain checks well it's good you could stop by I mean uh I see Roger sharp over there he's another Pinball Hall of Famer here so it's nice to have some great celebrities here and uh it it's this pin golf format it it's pretty intense too because you play no not too many people play to blow it up on the first ball you know yeah that's the thing it's like it's and also it's you and the course like there are other people there you're not playing well pin golf was originally conceived back in the early 90s as a way to make make pinball leagues where you can give people handicaps just like regular golf okay so you could set up a a a pinball league and have players of different skill levels playing against each other giving Strokes right okay that was the whole idea M and it was a collaboration I I came up with the idea no kidding and it was a collaboration between and I went to with we started a league with um Orin and and Roger and people from Williams people from day to East and me from gly and the whole idea was it would be nobody owned it there would be public domain and then when pinball collapsed in the mid 90s the whole thing kind of fizzled right so I'm really glad to see that it uh it it it stayed and and and caught on I think it's awesome and one good thing about this one man is that you don't have to wait for for somebody who's just blowing up the game right I mean there's a Target score so you're not waiting for someone to get 30 billion on Tech from Mars you're you're in you've done it and you're out so you're moving on and the the other thing that I I thought that it was a strong concept was in tournament play it's more like a real golf tournament where you get basically one entry into the tournament it's not where a lot of pinball shows you buy pumping D entry after entry after entry trying to bump people off the list as a revenue generator for that particular show this is you know you maybe you could set up a seating system but everybody gets one atry and go out have attic go out do it yeah I'm disappointed though they haven't taken your original idea and the handicapping cuz I could have got a few points I'm playing with Raymond Davids the number one player in the world I should be I should get a couple Strokes you just get a One on Game of Thrones listen I don't want you to brag in Fr of John you're embarassing hold one on Game of Thrones you don't don't hear anything from this guy okay you find a new room for tonight Stephen cuz uh the key might have changed right yeah exactly my roommate here best friend right here oh well it is a fun format but it it's intense you just have to forget about the psychology of okay look up I need 12 million on this game you can't play that way you just have to kind of play your normal game play and maybe avoid the long games you know Raymond for example on Star Trek has has scored a one just now he scored a two yesterday there was no multiball in any of that M you know he just comos and then once his one's over his game's over so he can free up the machine someone else can play it's not where someone gets this ball after this 25-minute ball and it creates a an issue at the queue of people playing the games and that's key with a system like this because when you have to get all these many people through the course we can't wait for somebody to get you know to destroy it well that's the the um tournament director's job is to set up a pin Golf Course right that you don't have that wait that that bog down hole or pin bom machine and which essentially what they did on Thursday so they used the our scores as like the guinea pig for Thursday's play to form this so it was BAS on high quality play on that point and that's that's that's really good because cuz then you you know you always have to especially when you're having days of eliminations you have to just get get it done on time the other thing that Ping golf format would would use favorably would be if it was ever televised or you know um commercial brakes like you know when it's commercial point so so it I think it has a you know it's I think it's here to stay that's that's I think it's I think it's great I I am surprised there aren't more of these tournaments cuz I find it extremely fun because it is unique you know we we do see the grinds of the pump and dumps that you were talking about we certainly see match play that's very very I enjoy match play a lot too um especially when you've got some Swiss seating for alternate rounds but this is unique and um well we'll think remember Ping golf can be stroke play for the course or it could be actually match play you could you could you could you could you could have two players playing like in real golf where you play Max play and golf so it can you can do it either way lots of good opportunities here last year's champ Adam Becker is uh here as well I think he came in with a pretty good score we're streaming now on IE pinball thanks very much for watching looks like the cut Line's going to be around plus two you can follow along the standing on ifpa pinball.com it's right on the homepage there click oh nice oh my goodness that was gone yeah yeah was down the down that left range that might have saved him a stroke there cuz this the target's 30 he us to try to back in that four oh he was going after that Target one's been deadly it is that that has you plunge one it is that every time really and that and that that and that table's bounced like it's it's let's watch where this ball goes it should come that's that's going that way yeah and so it seems like when it gets down here it it goes off a surface or here around the Wizard's arm and then just goes right see you later yeah I I think it's you know no criticism I think it's oh game that's a 10 no not a 10 that is 25 so we have to you can see let's see 25 he's going to get a six he's going to get a six oh cuz tilt end's game on on Abracadabra John Steven leave you I think I'm back up on Black Rose talk to you soon all right good luck with that all right good luck with black rose Black Rose is playing very tight so you can't really nudge that at all either but yeah oh yeah we forgot about tilt end the game right well that's that's you should have it was a liberal tilt because earlier we saw that save over on the left side that was shaking quite a bit so you know yeah but just a little bit too much action there and once again here's Jay up and he will give his 30 seconds practice and then he will play right after so okay oh trying to learn what not to do like don't plunge the one should put a sign up there says don't plunge the one here it goes it went over went over to the right flipper oh nice nice bounce right so too bad say too bad this is this is warm-up see this isn't going to happen during the real game that's going down the middle oh yeah that's a warm up that's that's that's Murphy's Law oh good that's a nice shot might answer a question from the chat for you John was ping off originally go Fork focused or Point Focus like this were you like goal oriented or was it basically score we we did we we actually experimented around in the league and it was initially a goal oriented then it it evolved into a score oriented as we were trying different things and um did you have like a mix system where some were points and some were goals within the same course I think early on earlier on it was more but later on in order to be able to not have a real you know cuz we were we were just bunch of people who met at the arcade uh Gayla North right arcade um after work we didn't have time for somebody to go and set up goals for all the individual games right okay so I think if I recall we used a system based on where the replay of the machine was okay so like whatever was set like that was the the autom yeah wherever the automatic proed was set the replay to it became a standard so we could go in there and calculate what all of the the stroke scores were right in in just a few minutes um obviously ideally it would have been good to go in there two or three hours before each match and set up objectives but right for what we were doing that wasn't too practical no it's like as long as you have if you have already an outside judge that handles that for you you know you can use the convenience of it it's right there so yeah yeah but but meanwhile we have oh one two three four is nice shot that was a nice shot up through the two nice so now that advances the bonus value to 2,000 so now the lit Targets on the left and right are 2,000,000 and also the outlanes which he doesn't want to look at right now but again don't sleep on those thousand bumpers you know a good trip into the wall behind the Thousand bumper can really be profitable all right control oh no nice off all right okay top Target he got he got he got the he got the top Target for 2,000 now so he still this is targets 30,000 remember now he needs he needs to oh he has a lit Target up then he drains y okay but now is that 20 I'm not sure how many balls he's in cuz I can't see where's the ball on play counter yeah it's not we can't see I see the backlash I just see the score right I don't see the ball and play counter here all right this ball four okay all right we'll see if it's Ball Four look at that shot that's a nice shot get the three for him do not go through the one all right okay that's see that that thousand buffer is pretty good we can get that Lit 27 oh oh the buffer got him okay is that it does he have one more he does have another one okay come on three if we can get that three get the three get the three get the three and boom there it is hit anything do not oh oh oh that is that that is a ball that's a ball sitting on the edge of the cup right there that's the ball sitting and chipped right on the edge and didn't fall in we were just waiting for anything a a drop t a bumper anything it it was one of those close games just about ready to break it open that was amazing yeah let's go to the main shot here on that one let as they move the rig cuz that's going to woo just just to process that that was that was tense that was tense as we Slide the rig down across the run to Tron legacy yes and I'm going to get a check of the target score for Tron really quick and it is 12 million which seems low but not on this Tron this TR a tough Tron it's a tough Tron how a tilt set on it it is the Tilt set moderately conservative um two warnings two two warnings still you know like two warnings then TT then D like two three strikes you know the normal stri but you can't really shake it that much and no rubbers on the outlanes and everything's fast okay so the rub were the rubber rings removed where there were nor rubber rings yeah so yeah we have a look here I think I think it's sling it's sling outs aren't AR how are the slings set pretty sensitive pretty sensitive yeah so that's all drain monster on the left and right yeah and but and as far as the kickout from the arcade store the most popular move has been the live catch straight here to stop it to stop it right holding it up you can't you can't you can't you can't dead flip it you can't I haven't seen many people do do the back and forth like that I've seen one person drop drop drop it from right to left and how about tap over not yet the most popular move so far has been the live catch but the mistake being holding it up well if yeah if you're a little bit too early on the live catch you're going to put it down the right side right so that's where that's where we've been here I mean it it gets to a point where the the first decision on the plunge is like okay sometimes you can Plunge and get this light cycle when if you plunge hard and come through here it'll give you that yeah yeah you're trying that but but you're you go on the arcade if you miss the plunge right and then you got to be ready be ready for the kickout right exactly so even that I mean cuz even like skill shots of 500 which is no joke cuz that's another 500 for a million well considering the low score right the skill shots really important right very important so you're kind of trading whether you're not going to go for the skill shot versus maybe getting this light cycle which happens about 80% and you'll get it sometimes it won't count cuz it's SP won't trip and then you're kind of just out of luck and you're in danger too so but uh all right we are ready to start with warm-ups here all right we'll see what we'll see what people find out I mean you know what questions we're looking to answer see there see there so now you see how he play that that worked now that worked then we don't know if it'll work during the main during the real game that's what we don't know yeah no no that's out and out that's out okay I want I'm to see how he's going to handle the the uh move out of the arcade store whether whether he would go for the hold or go for just seeing if it would bounce from right to left at all good night yeah you know that you know that we're knowing what not to do W both both balls near the drains have gone down all right here comes the there's the ski now here we go here's here here we go boom see that right so see that sling has been nice from from that right because it didn't it didn't trigger I thought that that sling may have triggered on that it went up the ball did come up against it boom there you go and that AR store shot has been pretty uh early we've been adjusting that like if you hit it where you normally think it will you'll be late and you'll hit off the far rubber right he just tried dead bounce right and it didn't work all right so now we have still more practice Yes means up practice you know just to find out some things this is the last practice ball shot yeah you get like 30ish seconds you know 30 reasonable seconds of practice that's fair that's fair especially when the games are are modded from from the original so enough to get in a few good shots enough to test the Tilt warnings you know all right list enough to think about that move there you go okay so now that was a better than average result yeah he anticipated and was ready on that on that on the dead flip but still went down the side all right now let's see what now let's see let's see what she goes for now yeah test the Tilt yeah test the Tilt and got all right so she knows so she knows all right so she knows um she knows the bounce out so she might be the one that that tests the Bounce from right to left because that was pretty friendly considering you know she got a chance of controlling it all right let's see what let's see what Dan chooses to do here with the yeah he's going on the fly it looks like all right get good and that's another thing that's a little squirly is the post pass the post pass is a little bit garbage on us well I think that the that post is is back a little bit on on TR now it does on most games so you got to be a little earlier in the post pass all right nice save that I hope he does during the real game he's trying to find where cor where cor is where where is Kora Kora is not there all right maybe a test on the 's trying to do that post pass a little bit on the end Lane there cuz that's going to be a problem when when the people play the main game oh never mind said battery here oh it still says battery low yeah battery low battery the multiball yeah we have multiball now but uh yeah just have to change the battery here for the the score display oh that's goodz that's that's the camera one of the cameras went down so so either the wireless to it had a thing but those these batteries have been lasting very long I mean there was 13 hours with no battery changes the other day it was pretty impressive it was pretty impressive pretty long for a b yeah I could go half a day on my phone right pretty impressive all right so it may it may be it may be possible just to just had a quick loss of signal but uh Adam is working on it right now as we uh wind down yeah H Roger hey Roger's here hi I won't interrupt please interrupt us we're commenta on play please interrup us all you want yes the Roger yeah yes the the the Roger is is here so he can interrupt all he wants he can okay all right they're uh adjusting the signal problem right now you see Adam Becker again working very diligently throughout the day to make sure everything is working cool and fresh rust so we'll get the camera going before the real real yeah that's off Game Y MH want make sure that's ready before we start anything serious all right and you know like like try it's a nice simple game you know I mean sometimes it's cool to do try and do the thing I think it's one B one them works better better better layout just do the thing like the end of line shot is awesome like you know you build it up and then all of a sudden you build up a nice jackpot and then as they shoot the RAM and it's like all right here it is here's the shot for 2 million can I make it boom you know or can I make it brick and it's like oh no I I missed it so but yeah I I really do like playing try is one of my favorite games yeah yeah and uh it's also holding the value real well you won't see any you won't see any TRS for for less than what a new uh Pro Stern prob machine would cost it's like where's that try Vault come on people will buy it yeah all right just a little bit more checks here and I mean again the rig the rig is awesome I mean they nice and convenient you know wheel it in you know we wheel we way acrossing 30 seconds right right and it's off in the wireless so I've got six Strokes better and he's got six Strokes Lo less okay so that's a little weird to okay all right yeah so yeah we're just adjusting making sure everything's good yeah make sure your your scores are nice yeah yeah that's the definitely difference if you're getting that eight versus five make sure that's right good job that's 21 39 okay it's a little bit of a differ man all right you got that you know I'm going to I'm going to switch to uh The Room cam here so that we can have the at least some action of the room Le see action of the room in progress see who's here who's representing this is again if you have just joined us this is the flipper SP underground in Las Vegas Nevada for the 2019 pin Masters I'm Steve Bon here joined by Jon Norris over there and we are here for the second half of part two of qualifying six top 16 people of the 72 that played this weekend will move on to tomorrow's final tomorrow's final round you can see the standings and uh All That official particulars over at ifpa pinball.com it will be the first post on there you will see links to the standings the players the Target stores the whole deal so I invite you to go to that and check that out as we are have a little bit of an interstitial uh action here yeah we can't move to to another game because we have the one rig um anything on the other one all right let's go back and see what we got all right yeah we got it all right thank you gentlemen again for being awesome here we go we're back in play we are back in now this is just yeah we're just getting rid of all this other stuff here they probably just turn it off or yeah well it's ball three so they're probably just going to PL out yeah it'll just plunge them out and whatever yep okay turn it off yeah the power and we're ready ready to go again now that we're going to get into the real game we're going to see what the first real decision is is again hard ples to attempt to get the light cycle or get the skill shot for a million essentially and when you only need 12 I think I I think I would probably up for the easier skill shot right get the skill shot so that's what I would end up doing because I mean the first light cycle multiball just needs four light cycles so you can get you can make up for that with the outer orbit see there you go see he plunged it it didn't work right yeah so that's going to cost them there the 500,000 for the skill shot and some extra danger and one and okay that was okay let trap up and let for a few seconds and let the plum settle now again that was one danger on a violent Shake yeah well that's with those with those outlanes without the rubber rings on them yeah I would I would concur that's probably a good the good thing yep oh right into the cor oh three-way combo here's our first end of line for 1.4 million boom there it is that's good to started with a nice comfortable shot like that with and it gives you confidence to make life catches like that I mean you know things are feeling good okay he's feeling good right now shoot the out of orbit and he'll have light cycle lit getting an in Lane oh wow he went through Gem and it didn't count oh that was messed up it went through gem so shot that's that shot's the hardest shot on the game and it didn't count count wow that was big well that's play on that is that is that yeah that was unbelievable because I mean just to even have that even if that did drain them just to light light cycle there's a warning already now then that one was not as vicious of a shape so you see the T Bob is uh still alive a bit there okay that's that's my think I think it was still moving oh make that b okay yeah again it's the outlanes are hungry all right so again looks like you know skill shot C catch it then do the light cycle combo into the cor into the ramp and get started you know that's it's a good that's a good that' be a good way to start get your confidence up yeah really on this because this game will like a sense his weakness right a little bit of flu and oh get out I've never I've never played a Tron with set like it's like like oh did you did you fumble that oh you did oh take it down the right out lane just take it you know I I normally think of tron's a little bit longer playing than Norm it is right mhm not this one oh almost the skill shot not quite let's see what we're going all right okay now here we going to see about the post pass here let's see now if he goes for the Post pass or if he just goes for the arcade scoop and doesn't catch out of it see I see yeah he tried he tried second one two that's it all right and again again yeah that we might have to take a minute to break here because him to not start I wouldn't plunge that ball for for 30 seconds to a minute the third player oh man okay this is Jay is up now all right Jay is still taking some time to uh study the board and also let the ball save let the uh tilt Bob settle a little bit yeah this might be a skill shot success uh yes got it done that's his first million how he handles the catch here on the Fly and got an in lane for it w all right now post post pass time maybe not it was just went after the orbit all right if you're confident didn't do he got up to the right flipper yeah missed a shot little bit of a rattle little bit of a rattle there all right see now the game is going to sense some weakness here see you know see it's like it's like this it's like the game is alive it must have been a nudge that we didn't see cuz I saw the Tilt right at the end all right all right meanwhile so nothing really significant happened on ball one except for Derek's combo I mean dereck's combo gave him that 2.8 and uh 2.9 right so meanwhile like C lit so he must have took care of one other one other uh life cycle Target here we go again let's let's get stuff done here he wants to get use this to get Kora right cuz I don't know I forgot how many cor shots he has but he just wants to get some more work on that while making some combos with some light cycles meanwhile ball save is already over so yeah that's it that's it that's oh multiball multiball's over try put some jackpots on the road no you got one more he got another one combo Nice Nice Shot he'll get the end of line for it nice 1.7 oh and then brutal out we just saw it whereas like if you just a little bit but we got bonus coming bonus coming he needs 1.4 he needs one no not enough okay you get three yeah so like like why why you see Adam there adjusting the camera there we had uh we were had a little bit of issue seeing some some of Derek's score for a bit but it was all right but Adam's fixing that no problem yeah I think I think yeah I think the raised right the raised flipper from the scoop now is a failed attempt at the live catch earlier in the day was people just holding it up to see what happens but I think now it's a live catch failure I think enough people know yeah if you hold it up it's just going to springboard back into the of the right out so I think enough people know not to do it that they're just failing on the catch and uh that's what's causing it to go out obviously there's not an auto plunge after 30 seconds no no obviously not no that would be that would be particularly evil and problematic yeah can't do that in the situation that would not be good no right here we go there we go and we are ready to go thank you very much Adam again yeah right it's going to be all right it'll be all right okay there she goes all right yasmin's up give me that skill shot ah all right let's start let's start the party there we go that's nice that's good more Rams to find that Kora oh give him cor oh give her cor no no it didn't no did not got the out got the orbit though going to need that anyway to pick up one of the light cycles every every every mystery is 500,000 so oh no okay she got away with it woo here she Lo again okay now here we are with the problem with the post pass again Nice Shot chose to make the shot smooth chose to make the shot between the bumpers is so smooth again into the combo nope again where is Kora where is that cor shot all right good good reaction all right we'll take another 500,000 mystery that was a add up all right there's cor all right we're ready to go here's for the money 1.2 million h a little late another core shot yeah another chance 1.5 million for the money oh more money oh like she she knows it's early and so she was too early yeah she knew it was early wow okay seven that would have been big that would have been big to make that with that end of lying cuz that was getting up to 2 million for that end of lying jackpot all right but now Dan is up no too hard too hard and it didn't give him the light cycle again it's just deciding not to do it now that right light cycle is remaining uncleaned how's he going to handle this try's post pass try he's going to try again yeah it's frustrating again he didn't he didn't try again he's going for the orbit you see people are now going for the orbit now man yeah double scoring oh one strike two strikes and out anyway and the game didn't even tilt just that's just that's just cold blooded like like come on at least least you want the G to no they don't need to lose the bonus after that that's wrong but I mean you see what I mean with this 12 million it's like any mistake it's like any wavering you waver that's that's a stay on the path brutal try stay on the path don't waver from the path all right Jay's going to show us how to do that live catch okay all right just to get the party started with the right left ramp shot good got an in lane for that oh all right that was interesting attempt that might have been attempt that maybe a COR maybe a backhanding the ramp oh wow oh it drifted out and oh just a casual drain by the bumpers like the bumper just aured it out it just it didn't look dangerous until it was too late right yeah it was there was no not no time to react all right so now basically I think Derek is close to having when in bonus coverage no he he doesn't have anything solid need skill shot get he does need skill shots got it just get just get the regular skill shot get the skill shot and it's over SK shot and let it all right don't think about it too much don't just you know just take it yes nice no oh all right so now he's got a little bit work he does have some bonus coverage not enough to get the million that he needs a spinner shot all right basically bonuses you got a flashing insert on the bonuses yeah flashing isert in the tree is worth 50,000 the solid one is worth 250 he's got it now so he just has a not toil not tail yeah yeah mystery 500,000 he's going to check his bonus now and he needs 120 and whatever cuz he's got he's got enough flashing ones bonus 8 he's got a Let There It Is Walk Away well well done kick out we saw you checking your bonus you check it all right well done get that skill shot into the light cycle light cycle multiball for yes B and two shots for cor for for the multiball Stag again well that ball save is going to be over pretty quickly there it's going going gone all right it's gone and now we want some cor shots now two more to go to light cor oh there goes the outlane control this one on the transition to single ball play and okay all right there's a core shot she's a she's a 10 mil 107 107 with 400 500,000 600,000 bonus 750 no oh Oh that's oh such a struggle just to get those points at the end it's like H well she she was scoring pretty fast there she she she jumped from seven or eight to um 10 million and it looked good it looked good all right here we go all right show show us now Dan all right get get in there for the skill shot no all right all right if anything we got the party started with the ramp into the Kora end the combo get paid it nice 1.4 and another 500 for you on the Fly he got forgiveness for that on the in Lane will he get another in Lane doesn't matter he's good oh all right nice nice job okay now let's reassess maybe right orbit okay okay he can still yeah he'll get points for that 5,000 okay all right that's a core shot that's a combo how is it get paid on this a another in Lane another in Lane light cycles ready good job one two oh please stay trap up hold it trap up hold it okay all right now that's that's safe that's safe Beyond Phantom tilts for now yeah I think we're good he's think he's pass that all right now woo this is a key this is a key move here post pass to the left flipper or maybe he can like do a quick flip and then backhand it in maybe into the core into the combo he's going to try and get paid into it okay oh here we go this is for 2.1 million oh little late but all right he got it anyway he get the 2.1 but he's got the multiball he didn't get the 2.1 million but he has the multiball so he they still have end of line jackpot is at 2.1 million is the most valuable thing on the board and now we're double scoring double scoring now one end of line jackpot will finish it 9 mil all right he's still at two dangers he has to be careful with his flipping he has to be careful ball save is over that quickly but double scoring is not still works 97 97 with double scoring still running oh ah no do not all right double scoring means double bonus oh oh the double scoring went off the double scoring went off before yeah went off we counted yeah yeah wow and it's like just just those golf balls sitting on the side of the cup is what's going on yeah look at look at that look at those three scores got one person who got in there and two are just right there now looking back oh but looking back at the 12 million is the is the goal it seems like it's it's a perfect goal because yeah right wow all right there there's a uh there's a plunge off and there it is all right all right so now yeah this is this was uh this was uh Derek's SP Oh Derek passed so now Yas me just basically needs to shoot a skill shot she may even have coverage with bonus she really does yeah she's got 250 on Flynn and then multiple 50s up the tree so yeah if she drains without she here she is there it is it's good she's got it it's fine it's fine bonus bonus got it it's fine it's fine just don't tell all right so now now here comes Jay oh sorry uh Dan Rather who is a million three away and I mean literally we're like counting bonus on this like it's like like it's it's 50 250 300 550 600 650 7 7508 it's interesting how in this day and age bonus is becoming so much of a factor in in on this game right so a skill shot and he's got it cuz he's got coverage a skill shot and he has it with the bonus coverage okay went past it okay do not die all right all right combo for the people boom he's got it that's it yes end it off with End of Line that's it feels good to get out of there it's like escaping a trap escaping [Laughter] danger like we have to wait for cor multiball to finish off ball saer will be gone soon it is already gone and and the ball is and we're done Ball's over B's over all right now Jay steps four all right he does need one light cycle for his first light cycle multiball lit with double scoring ah get control of it okay get that left orbit nice life cycles ready with double scoring oh it would tried to come back in try oh try now he's the only one still in the course so he has to he's he has to let these B filter through y yeah this is PL plunge offs of people who have go all right now we start with a skill shot no we start with control though get light cycle good idea but oh he left the flipper up The Flipper up was just a little bit too long and so when he used the left flipper to get it back it bounced off the bottom bottom of the flipper and now yeah and that is the way that story was written there Tron is punishing yes this particular one yeah that's amazing that was pretty and you just shows that yeah that 12 million he like oh I can get 12 million I'm not a problem yeah I if I if I sell that as a list I go that's going to be one of the easy ones right nope it's was like okay that was not as simple as we thought but now we even go to a even bigger butt kicker Star Wars oh no how Star Wars set all right Star Wars is no ball save on the plunge okay no outlane rubbers so like so you can plunge outlane you can plunge off the three B and go straight down so a lot of people are soft plunging to not even go for the go for the no because it'll plunge out Lan right so yeah they don't even want to do that because it'll just plunge out lane and you're done um what else is what else is peculiar about this that's basically it I mean tight obviously tilt is obviously tight obviously CU that's where we are but yeah you're going to see people making decisions on whether or not they even going to hard plunge the three Bank like it's that it's is that vicious out here okay yeah cuz I can see the uh trajectory yep going over with for the for the drain so they get practice game right yeah practice game so they going so I wonder how many plunge outlanes we're going to see I would actually try that in my practice game [Music] yeah all right so let's see here oh yeah I guess we oh we have a group that has not quite finished yet so that's what we're seeing Bon bonus coverage of Star Wars everybody bonus cover this is a real game right this is a real game but this is ball five yeah so this is bonus I don't have this group's information though unfortunately but we will get to see bonus coverage of Star Wars one thing that has been tough is hitting like indoor two in a row from the left flipper so you'll see what you just saw there the indoor into the ho yeah cuz that seems to work a little Reckless all right so quick check of the target score for Star Wars it is 200 million that is like just Out Of Reach of comfortability right comfortability 200 million so we've seen people start with Han right and then do video mode we've seen people start with everybody anybody else and select video mode like you know just to get that those free points and hopefully go in there with a big enough shot X so that you go in there with a nice five or six multiplier and in video mode and just get points that way um yeah oh that was a real ball I know we got to remember this is a live game so this is the end of a live game so and I think that was it because the players three and four have passed so the player three has 244 and player four has 229 so that will uh end this round on ball five yeah these are just these are just plunge offs just so they don't have to reset it they'll just plunge it off and we will continue with our feature Groove yeah it's a good feeling to plunge that off you know especially if you're like you've did it in one you know I'll plunge off four balls I don't care that's great the skill shot yeah all right now Begins the warm up all right all right here comes our warm-ups here and uh yeah there's Han there you know that's why people are selecting Han and also some Tie fighters too like to get that started you know to get the bonus hits you know get them get some get some points there from the Tie fighters as well that's happened I've also seen also seen some some layer selections as well appar apparently there's some code now that gives layup power before the hot dog modes I think I'm not sure how that works there but you know how the some of the pre-shot the mod the mode shots that you shoot before you get the actual mode lit both shots I think may be Amplified for layer I cannot confirm or deny that do do do these games typically have the latest code yes it has the latest code in yeah so I knew there was cuz I know Leia Powers up the the uh multiball the hot dog modes I know it Powers up these but like she destroys in mode fours any of the multiball modes but uh she may she may be the hidden treasure selection but lot of people are doing Han just to go into the multiball quickly and then hopefully do well in it but well enough for 200 200 million you know yeah that's yeah you know that Hoth that Hoth is a very nice Easy Shot there to hit and to use that to start the hard mode use that to start Death Star yeah test the tilt a tilt pretty pretty sensitive Prett sensitive you got two tilts two dangers up nice that he probably wishes he did that in a real game Nice Shot sequence wow if he hits this wow wish this this is the warmup of course it is yeah it's a warmup of course it's the warm up his shot was so smooth he's got 114 million we already on the warm up okay now that's fy's L do that again oh my gosh wow it's always so smooth on the warmup I mean come on it's weird it's like you just have that little bit of extra pressure during the real game and just you know makes that button press just a little bit too soon and it doesn't H oh yeah yeah it's wild right that's yeah he did he used up all the good shots during the warm up he had like four in a row it's like mhm oh different idea on the skill shot mhm that little bounce over see take some momentum out of the ball a little bit you know that's gone yeah I mean that's the right out lane that was a Swit yeah I mean the left out lane is big but the right out lane is big and like there's a guide to it like everything just heads right toward it it's wow well look at this a soft plunge you know trying to plunge the outlane yeah yeah right don't PL out okay all right and now we are we are live all right Derek steps up we know surve the board let's see who he's going to select we going to go with the R2D2 going to go with Han okay looks like we have we have Han here no not yet r2d we choosing [Music] uh Han with the tie fires off the bat we got Luke Luke Ling the Death Star missions you know it's it is a tough choice at the beginning I mean you know I have to yeah cuz five Tie fighters will get him right to the first hurry up so how much is the the first hurry up it doesn't start off very much cuz he hasn't got any progress in building it up at all so I think I think 10 but if you go for the next if you go for hurry up Str oh you see what happened he got it he started to hurry up which was 4.6 million for future reference everybody and then it walked went straight down yeah wow I didn't you know that fell so fast I didn't even see it I saw I saw him making the choice for the for the enhancement I didn't see the ball okay okay that's the game we are playing today so now y mean steps up all right so as me has selected uh light okay again that ball rattles from that on that shot from the left oh just a little bit of a miss and [Music] punishing all right so now Dan what's Dan GNA do who will he select all right earphones going in you know settle yourself you know you just saw the devastation that happened on the previous two those first two players like oh my goodness yeah you know yeah y stretch it out yeah do some calisthenics you know yep mhm think about our plan who we going to [Music] choose all right oh that there's a war that may survive but okay well the game says no I mean it's so oh and I guess based off random chance he has 55,000 more points than player one after the same amount of time both both balls are about 3 seconds long man this is yeah what is this the equivalent of in a golf course it's not even like high wind that's getting into the water that's like a water and a in the midst of a hurricane and then like a killer whale comes out I mean that's what's going on here all right so now who who will we choose we have not seen any R2 d2s yet right that used to be Oh short plch all right but he did select does have Luke and he got credit for Death Star missions which he gave him 5 million already oh and like I I barely saw the ball leave until it until it was gone yeah I mean and he didn't either cuz the flippers was still down I mean yeah what is happening it's it's like this game is just come alive and just started pimp slapping everybody oh this just like no get out of here get out get your nerves together just get some shots going and you get some score all right so now selecting the ti Fighters would would a take to a hurry up I believe or you could light a mission back to the tie figh back to the Tie fighters now that's that was his uh pick the first time mhm all right here's a hurry up that the same 4.6 million got a catch oh doesn't have a catch yet nice tip over all right hit it boom all right now butt hitting the button hitting the button do we have control do we have control not really a danger while hitting the button that's only one danger second one oh oh third one coming NOP he didn't tilt wow he'll get a little bit of bonus with it now just remind everybody the um the the target score is 200 million okay yeah we're sitting at it's 200 18 million wow woo thank you overe extracted for the bits I'm sure that IE pinball thanks you for your support hurry wow plunge out Lan plunge yeah that was outl I mean we're playing Pinko now I mean this is not we're playing this is not pinball we've seen we've seen one two three four five six balls now that maybe total of 30 seconds all right so now Dan steps up all right so he has modes ready shoot endoor start a mode good all right now we have progress now stacking modes is on I believe at least it was yesterday so he's going for one going for Endor by itself oh didn't quite make it great save without nudging now let's see he might might appreciate some like double multipliers maybe no good tie fight though increase hurry up yeah TI figh starts to hurry up TI F hurry up here oh way early on the shot another chance at it Y come on got it all right oh he got the Escape too so he's back in play more TI Fighters more Tie fighters more TI Fighters and you need I believe you need 50 for TI fighter multiball at least that's the way it was set up wow so it's not that initial at 35 from before you got to get 50 all right immediately it's jumped to 45 billion first hyperspace first hyperspace try ah the backhand is tough especially on the on the premium though cuz even if you make it it might not go up all the way oh hurry up okay that's fine calm down forget it forget it forget it forget it 800,000 yep forget it okay okay don't rush it yep that's fine live live to to take another shot still working on indoor he's going to need the in Loop the left side in Loop the Death Star shot basically so he's trying to fit it in there to get his next major shot in this mode oh not quite make it in there good good patience on the on dead flip there again trying trying to squeeze in there it's tough to squeeze it in there the the margin of error is so small dangerous dangerous good good n oh all right we try another back hand or maybe I mean the back hand is there it's just very thin can do got it nice nice nice nice all right now needs left orbit or he needs right ramp we also needs to Center too but got that done there's the ramp well done all right he's done all right starting indoor multiball woo okay now the ball saves are have been nerfed they're not very long at all still okay we'll we'll watch the ball sa so so the first thing he's got to he's got to handle those Force targets right off the bat just get the force targets get your ad ball ready let's get it all right come on ball saer is already over will he get one of these back no no he will not wow there's no there's noce per ball save just nothing left but to just look at it in disbelief just stare yeah just really stare at it because I we saw that we saw that no ball safety he was try he was trying to press the shot X cuz he was trying to purposely draining to get targ yeah that's all he was oh wow all right so meh Jay is up starting with a hurry up do not plunge the out lane and he did plunge the out lane wow well man this is scary so now this is still this is ball three with a target of again 200 million 200 million is two 180 million to go yeah meanwhile he does have 23 um Tie fighters though so you might want to select five more Tie fighters it looks like that's what he's going to do a strategy of choosing that each time cuz you you're you're building up towards more Tie fighters another plung outling another I saw it I in disbelief I saw it another one I mean it's like come on it's like wait a minute oh all right so yeah means up starts to hurry up survives the out lane good tip as defense and another good defense whoa all right there it is Tie fighters going up Tie fighters oh this is the war of attrition because people are just trying to survive the first few moments of play up final starts at 9:00 a.m. on Sunday the top 16 who Advance Beyond these qualifiers will advance to the final round at 9:00 a.m. tomorrow all right the video mode is lit now let's move the let's move it over and at least get a 2X video mode 3x video mode all right this is good now as long as he doesn't hit anything that's 12 million cuz you get 4 million for a perfect that's not going to happen cuz he started off with ultra speed okay so forget the perfect re now we just need as many of these St avoided as possible all right things are looking good all right we have a wide open area all right that was 112 that wasn't bad all right so just just polish off the rest of this let's see what he gets at 3x all right nice nice job stand oh okay that was all right 27 million how much does he need now he's at 125 so 75 to go see the spin on that wow yeah nice recovery on that he's got he's looks like has the Escape lit I think on the out lanane so he is protected there he does have Tatooine lit that's there his Escape his Escape done Gates closed all right so he has a TIE fighter at 42 million for hurry up big shot oh hit the Tie fighters how many how many I think many I think he hit it he hit the 42 but how many [Music] oh yes he got it he got it he got it and he's not he's he's just relieved it's more relieved than excited right I meanti start I had 50 no it no he did wow okay Jesus all right so now Jay is up and he just needs to do some work anywhere this first this this first one will be nice ah oh survive this good job oh that's one danger got it though got it come on let's get the danger off all right all right he's got a death star mode he would wow he needs he would need a ho mode to get close to a multiball there all right so at the end of three balls only Dan has passed and meanwhile Derek steps up with 30 million about to select five more Tie fighters yeah right so to 33 he's at 28 now yeah from whatever he earned yeah yeah he needs 50 right he's supposed to need 50 now I don't know whether Jay got the whether uh Dan got the 50 and didn't start I don't know but he's supposed to need good all right so now he go for the yeah he's going for mod shots just oh no oh no surviv this give him the ball on The Flipper all right get that TI fighter oh he missed it that was a big Miss cuz now he won't get the hurry up if he had hit that he might have had TIE fighter multiball but now he's going to have to work at it he does have hath ready so at least he can start that if he completes Hoth he will have the Hoth multiball ready so if he can get through this there we go now just finish finish this video mode collect these points Y at 3x right no problem no problem up problem now let's just clean up the rest of these everything's still looking pretty decent the streaks getting pretty high yeah rock on that side oh all right let's see what he gets all right 27 all right he was at 30 and some change when he started so but key when he comes out of here he will have hos mode for ready this is H perk there it is all right time for Hoth now get that good those Force targets completed so you can have your at ball cuz it's like 5 Seconds of ball save and that's it okay ball done oh and one more Force Target oh can he do it in time oh he could oh no all right no that's that's it that's going to be it for hath unfortunately off two M yeah Endor good Endor lit now survives that one endoor all right so Endor three if he can finish this then he'll have endoor multiball nice nudge to save that at 138 62 million to go maybe a backhand of the right ramp okay oh he almost got no feared out my goodness oh how much bonus does he have let's see I don't know if that's going to be because he still needs like he still needs like 50 million oh yeah because that's thing with soft plunge you don't get that extra bonus X there so he still needs 53 million all right guys me and steps up select some Tie fighters would like to start a mode save that get out get it's just a huge gaping M out there just accepting anything that's near that was just a plunge off of a of a of a danball who had he had passed already running if he hit this that will give you only need really one more to start the hyperspace multiball should be good might not make it in time doesn't look like it it down yeah okay did not make it but the Tie Fighter hurry up is here got to hit that whoa whoa all right take control uh oh very close just miss to the to the right gra it oh again again the ball was heading by so fast that he was had the other flipper up ready to sort of slap it but then the flipper was up too long all right Derek has returned with 147 I mean it's just so tantalizingly close right 47 this Cas you choose the ti figh I mean the TIE fighter has got to go on the board well he's got bonus well bonus held he doesn't have any bonus anymore he could light escape to light the out lanane looks like he's chosen I charge light escape yeah cuz it's been going down there pretty uh a lot it goes down there a lot yeah yep just like that's what he's going to do all right sawt plunge into oh almost a combo went to the hyperspace he had to do it that's one that's at least one I only got one I think only got one only got one for that I guess people haven't been nudging it so much just been died it's just died down all right how about how about a shot on that death death star oh yeah that's not going to be enough bonus there no it's brutal yeah it's just that was a brutal ball Star Wars is coming in just beating people up everywhere just H just Dan escaped with his life about two balls ago should have ran away oh not a plunge out lane no all right good woo Mode start that'll stop the timer for the hurry up whoa hurry Up's going hurry Up's going hurry Up's going oh again this from Clear across the world I mean that's painful I mean you don't expect it to go down down like that I mean it's over on the right side and it just clear across the world down the left right all right Jay is up let's see what he will select only got five Tie fighters right now you choose a hyperspace hurry up I don't know if he has one done already so that wouldn't be the hyperspace multiball if he got the second one well if he got the second one he would but I don't know if he has the first one looks like he going nope what's he going what's he going for get off of that I mean that's not yeah all right plunge is okay nice nice catch oh the death the Death Star shot has just become particularly brutal right and this is going to run out hurry Up's almost gone it's gone oh again just the perfect lob was like a three-point shot it was it's like my goodness from the top of the key just watching it go oh my goodness and thus ends the brutality of Star Wars premium my goodness we only had one person pass on that that you only had one person pass at all on that one so what now what happens if after five balls if nobody hits if after five balls you don't hit it then you're you get a score of 6 through 10 based on how far away you are from the target score okay so with 200 million Target score every 20% less is another stroke okay so like 200 million would be five then so that's 40 so 40 million is 20% so 160 to $999.99 it would be a six okay and then 120 would be a seven and then you know 80 would be an eight and then 40 would be a nine and then below that will be 10 okay so they have those scores posted up there like see there's Tron that did the same thing like Tron is 12 million and then you have a range with 68 those failures yeah each of those each of those is a 20% decrease okay off the target so once you don't get five you can get up to a 10 depending on how far away then that helps us move on to the next game without having to play 10 Strokes you know yeah no that makes lot but it's also what it also does it doesn't give everybody like sixes you know like someone who gets someone who got close to it gets a six and then someone who didn't get anywhere near it and also get to six you know that's that's not fair right so this is better this is yeah yeah mercifully our long war on Star Wars has ended yes Doug Parson says so what is our next next game I believe the next game is happening now I'm going to go to the room here we go going down to the a very interesting game the way it's set up sorcerer oh okay sorcerer the thing with this sorcerer is the left ramp lock is out of play there is no left ramp lock you shoot the lock it will not lock not only will it not lock it will not give you the points for the lock it will just go clean wow yep no rubbers on the out lane post of course that's good given but yeah you will you will shoot the left lock you shoot the left ramp lock shot it will go clean through now one time I think one time I saw a during yesterday's play or during uh I think it was during the women's final Carrie Wing shot that shot and it stopped in there and it did lock the ball if it does happen it's play on so so they've a mechanical thing the hole that's they it just s so like yeah so sometimes it might sit there if it have sit in there cool you got the lock right but most of the time as in like 99% it will clean and you're and you're on this upper flipper and here we go yeah okay here we go with practice so you know this is all practice stuff all right target score we can see the target score on this one is 400,000 and uh and also with sour we'll be playing players one and three um because of the displays and also to prevent I guess tilt BRS and other things but um so that will also happen there I think this is our previous group here yep thank you yeah previous group so bonus coverage of seeing a lot of um people catching it on the catching on the right transfer to the left shoot the shortcut through here to get to the bumpers to get the uh drops and also going for the orbit to go all the way around right the thing with that is that this shot is kind of weak I mean it goes on a clean one but there's also a rubber hiding right here there's a little rubber hiding right about there that if you go too late will just bounce right off it and come right back down yeah so that shots there just tight less often have we seen the shot through here to get up top occasionally we've seen that but the most popular shot I'm going to hit Escape in a minute okay the oh I missed I'm going toit Escape in a bit there to get the rid of it but good getting scores updated but the most popular shot has been through here to get here just switch just just just to get up there upper playi yeah just to get up there so that um you can just get some tens and 20s and 50,000 and um what we have not seen yet is whether people going to try to maybe shats an in lanane well now that you're here right say Norris in in Lane right right right to uh get bonus count well well the problem was if if if you remove the rubber rings from the inlane out lane separators an alley shot or even a strong tap pass may go up and out so which is true but but uh we haven't seen it that much on this can try boom you the man y so um yeah but I mean I've seen the lot of will go up and down for six bonus counts like you'll get three and another three okay and then they might set up and then they'll try and like transfer over and then try and get some bonus SS that way you know so let's see what he does here this is this is this is the decision we've been trying to make here let's see what he does yep there a spinner attempt all right and then oh no okay actually this one does have the rubers on the on the post you can see if it does then then you can you can then you can do a little Shake as it's going up up the in Lane to Rattle it so it doesn't go up and out right so yep so this does have a little bit of help there yeah no wonder right cuz no wonder why is they're there cuz I've seen it you you catch the ball on the right it would go up and go quickly go back down for the three for the six bonus counts so w all right that that little return is not nice all right so now I mean and then on the other I've just seen people just shoot that ramp even though it doesn't count just to get it up and then knowing that it's going to land and you're going to shoot targets yeah you know and I've seen people just do it just just is the way to get the ball to where they want to get to yeah just to get it up there see that's some decent bonus right there if you can keep going up and down there oh not quite not quite not very many competes of the word sorcerer no no I think cuz cuz you're you're you're afraid of the the ball going over towards the there it is speak of the devil that's kind of why I mentioned it cuz I was like you know what they might do this he might do it and there it is so now Spinners a 2500 to spin that's a decent spin right there we need a little bit more come on take advantage now that right spinner is significant I mean it was 100 in the spin now you got [Music] 2500 and with the target score of 400,000 getting a decent spinner hit oh oh it's 1660 all right counting the bonus Up 179 all right and this is this is plunging off all player four because uh only playing players one and three but they have all four players in so that you know we'll skip that so I hope he knows no we only playing players one three because uh they're missing the scar dis Place yeah yeah something some issue with the score yeah I think I'm looking trying to look and see I think a player four score is moving so I'm wondering if is that player four score that we you see peeking in the bottom corner yep now this cuz this this should be invalid play it's not a DQ or anything it's just nothing just a void like nothing H nothing bad happens it just he doesn't at least I believe that is what's happening now so when if this goes down but then he not he just tilted but then that was not his ball this is his ball uhoh see now he's realizing now oh right so nothing no like DQ happens or anything cuz he's not playing another player's ball he just because no one's playing that ball yeah he played a void ball so it's all that progress he did just doesn't happen yeah yeah right exactly you play the wrong player on such a good ball good you know good point exactly and then when you see what happens you play your balls right Karma yeah yeah that's Murphy's Law yeah wow and here's the plunge off of player two's non play nice needed that needed that post there look at that there's a successful shot that's good that works oh nice save all right get those targets get those targets over there how about another spinter shot come on yeah all right smooth getting real smooth over there that just getting the ball out of there all right how on how about another spinner shot a a thought I thought he was going to save good try at that but here comes some pretty good bonus the 2x 291 Target score of 400 okay this the that's a non ball there so now waiting for a score to Blink okay now we're ready oh again we have you just have the one rig here although I wish I could switch over to the uh I guess you call it the gatekeeper group I I we really can't we're following this one there's another group with scores that are kind of close facing like in and out people people are in or people who are out of finals uh they're in another group so what are which game are they play think it's uh let's let's see can I see what game they're playing no I can't see it from here I wonder um apparently according to the chats whever kayy is so wherever kayy George is is is whatever game that all right but meanwhile back at sorcerer this is the ball real ball this is the real ball oh okay that's that's another 3,000 bonus on all right plunging out the non player is going to let drain yeah that was off the joint you already saw yeah you saw when you tried to tried to catch that that was off the flip the joint that's trouble that's real trouble there yeah when it hits right right where that right where the metal and the in the r River meet all let's have a look at some of those T it just doesn't stay up there long enough to complete those targets sometimes all right so now there it is see there it is that's beautiful good shot not quite on the right orbit there we go see now going to come out and boom targets come on more more 50,000 nice more and with bonus this will be over just don't tilt 398 399 and passing is imminent and there it is all right well all right so now we just have uh one player left in the course believe so show you appreciate a whole lot of those targets just a whole lot of Target BS right in a row right you know just just get this done and and good shots like that yeah TR to end up exactly where you wanted it yeah boom oh come on but you hate it when you get up there you don't hit any Targets at all o yeah he he saw the trouble and then yeah that's the Tilt he he saw the trouble he saw the trouble happening and uh I believe that was ball five I'm looking at the now looks like the top of looks like the top of a five right so that so they're they're done with that so looks like they're getting ready for their practice gam yeah getting ready for our group we're following here for the practice games interesting to see what questions the answer here I mean you know really the big question is where's the right spinter shot find that find that find the post pass from the right to left right and try to try to backand from the right up to the upper area right try that I mean sort of find the left ramp I guess I mean that's uh that's an answer that needs to happen as well even though it doesn't again this is still warm-ups this is just warm-ups here so like the dead like the dead balances like seems like the rubbers on here are just a little bit less Lively on the dead B yeah they little bit um so we'll see how people will adjust to that there was his attempt at the right spinner 30 seconds was left all right so is Derek with his practice nice that's nice wish you did that during the yeah right again this is warm-ups right it's always warmups always oh right cuz it's like look at how much not death is happening during this warm up like look at that look at that in Lane that that's a warm up in Lane that's a warm up in lane and a warmup post pass and standings are available on the main page of FP pinball.com so you'll see links there and so there you okay so we are live okay we're doing only doing two players at a time first and then the second two will do I guess do their warm-ups and play so show like little little bit of a gift in Lane there and again it's just that see that rattle on the way upit it nicked the post it lost it all momentum good reaction on that again every time every time you get up to that Target area it seems to hit one and then it doesn't complete complete him nice shot from the left flipper nice to get it right up there that's 25,000 here whoa good reaction yeah nice smooth okay but then it just doesn't stay out there yeah all right even better shot there I'll give him a bonus X oh another in Lane comes back good bounce 96 maybe we'll try another backand through to the Target area bet he does let's see nice clean and he got it on the flipper this time he did it all right trying to force it up all right trying to snipe some more 50,000 that's 10,000 and he has built some bonus up too he's at like two times 19 right now so all right so that will give him another 38 on top of that he's just about halfway yeah all right 185 Target score 400 so yeah he did a really good job with those targets there he did a really good job getting back he made a couple good shots to get back up to the targets yeah all right careful on the way down here yeah yeah yeah that's right remember keep keep remembering that's the second ball so that's like a that's a non ball right okay all right now we're ready we're oh wow got a free set of targets on that plunge for 25,000 okay there's a ramp shot ramp more control tried to spin a shot on the Fly didn't quite make it we go for the rep again yeah or maybe or we just backhanded through it now he seen it can it can happen now he's going for the ramp and he's more confident in that shot oh nice nudge nice nudge to get it out of Danger All right we found a little the little side area there that take a spinner yeah post pass yeah Bo he get shoot it right straight to the bumper area y could take a spinner all right nice got got a Bonus X for it oh nice job he's building up some nice bonus he's at 2 * 12 right shots still that was an attempted to ramp didn't quite work there and all right a little bit of a tip and did not get an inlane save there but he'll take some bonus away two * 12 this is like non ball yeah let's get rid of this okay okay now here we go 185 no I'm I'm not sure whether the owner of this establishment has been interviewed I've only been in here today but I imagine he will be interviewed tomorrow during finals oh change oh key Miss there don't want to miss your bonus X's o nice good job Ed every every part of the flipper he could on that oh right good job did he dro the left flipper just in time ah too smooth down the right out lane too smooth he got to remember this isn't a ball just let it go through he's playing it he doesn't no he's playing the non ball he doesn't know oh is he playing the non ball he playing the non ball gets he just realized it I think yeah no y he did oh that nice bounce up to Deer flipper are you making progress now okay there's pass and the split spinner didn't work comes back let's see what he does nice post pass 3x where nice okay need to get one yes good job good job come on one more especially with all this bonus up this is this is good do not nudge too hard I don't like oh stop it catch it yeah need go for the top roll over Lanes shot yeah it's a lot of bonus he drains yeah this this this is significant now count this up now let's go uhhuh 336 all starts off with 2x the beginning of ball that's nice that's always nice to get the all right so now still working on 400 and oh good that he didn't drain there because he's tantalizingly close 10,000 in bonus all right he will pass as long as he doesn't tilt and that's good very very wisely he knew where he was and got it done guess all right so now with uh what Dan needs to do is oh D is not die from that see I should have just not said anything that's just I should not said anything that's bad me bad me bad now he's going to do some plunge offs this is like the worst all right so now he's got to clean up after himself this is ball five get those targets do some work catch it up maybe even back yes maybe even back hand through the targets even though it doesn't want to stay in that was a great shot through the that was a great shot through the spinner area let him live because of it oh no that's not going to be enough not clearly not and so that will end that but now that was only players player one and two we still got another game of this with players three and four even we though this game is pretty hard it does take a little bit to all right now we have yes yes me with the warm-ups all right again we're just using the other games that's why you don't see the scores moving but yes's warming up and we have Jay warming here now wondering if Jay and uh y me have seen uh players have have seen the first two players and have learned on what they can still do through this might give them the short cut to Victory on this who's up here Steve guys me's up now but this is uh this is real yeah this is you like the changes they uh made to this game Steve no not at all not at all nope I want I want I wanted the ramp to count no count no nothing I know he get 500 points where I didn't see any points the ramp is worth exactly 500 points so it's already a grindy game and they made it even grinder yeah the games take longer supp to take shorter they take even longer well yeah it's just funny that they they put the strategy in of you know if we take the ramp out the gam won't last as long no cuz now people aren't just bricking the ramp and dying off it now now we're just going up to the top she's doing pretty good she's already got 4X she's got some bonus working this is very good start this first ball I I I I just rejoined this is a very good start just just just run this all the way run this all the way to 400,000 come on oh nice start count that up 3 * 17 on that that's over 210 give me more 232 she's more than halfway there what already done this is the non yet my uh local intelligence source is telling me that I may have qualified for the noas finals oh all right as a scrub wo scrub pinball [Laughter] player I have approximately uh 8% of Steve's pinball skill on a good day is is that the Shaggy percentage give or take 8% on a given day so oh nice save that's a great nudge from Mr Kenny Jay's one of our locals and he uh he did a lot of work on shopping the machines last week getting everything ready for today and Thursday and Friday and Sunday oh yeah wow here we go get in there so he start ripping that uh right orbit CU he's going to finish Sorcerer And he's going to get the two for one benefit here sorcerer plus uh the spinner being worth 2500 good nudge hopefully this will be the last time we see this game with this with this set play field yeah okay this I bought a uh new Playfield from CPR so should be here in the next couple months but he's he's ready ready to go got a couple good spinner shots there he's got sorcerer done he's got 50k oh he oh almost okay almost almost snuck that 50k shot there come on come on let him live from that oh great ball they both had great ball ones well yeah yeah the sum is more than ball I gotta say Steve I was uh super impressed with your crank Jersey on Thursday thank you best Dr for [Laughter] sure he like I did bring it just in case it got cold in here [Laughter] so here she goes oh she out of a house ball brutal wow and after such a great start it's like yeah it's like the game wants to remind people what it is it's like hello I'm sorcerer here now this is not was that that little bit of on you did before now let me show you what I really am here yeah okay okay all right here we go all right so now close to a bonus X already is that something you'd want to save until you got a little bit more bonus to to reap from it or you just going right for it go for it get 3x oh he had to use it now you got to go for it got an extra 4,000 points going up there two house balls see how they recover here on ball concentrate no that's not right I mean I know that's pinball but that's not right that's not that's not right I mean what you going do there's nothing you can do there's nothing you can do about that I mean you'd have to you'd have to predict the future cuz it's like oh nudge the ball no I mean it's it was going down and it went to nice area then all of a sudden it was just gone like it fell off a cliff that's sorcerer wow you know they about made this game even worse than it is now they had the rubbers taken off on Wednesday oh yeah you know what when I looked up and I saw the rubbers are I was like oh thank goodness but you know with the uh with the ramp mod I guess we could say changing the game yeah it must be nice you know to be a sharp you just roll in working on other people's machines just take it you know take that take that bur an the magnifying glass to see how how ruthless they can make the gam you know cackling at others science it's a science you know how make everything brutal all right let's see how she does one good ball to get a par get out of here all right close to a bonus a so take care of that nice nice now come on targets get that 50,000 get the 50,000 for ah he's got some good work done on his sorcerer targets he's playing with no fear you can see right forcer come on come on guys mean oh here she is Two Shots away from sorcerer be nice be nice now okay 5,000 ah good with two EGS twox bonus 50 come on ball oh no love here we go sorcerer lit Sorcerer And done she got it yes St four glance at it and look up and see yes I've got the four and I'm out of here sigh of relief visible on her face out get out excellent let's see if uh Mr Kenny can do the same now let's see if he has all right he has two two of the bonus no that's a that's the dead player okay the dead yeah okay he had two to the bonus a but no oh I think he used it up didn't he last he did he did I hear Steve and Steve was like hey you got to get that bonus yeah all right so this is two of the bonus two of the bonus a all right got a chance go over I missed the plane change ,000 in and out get there great save great tip save come on all right just through there yeah just through through that going for the ramp just to get it up there no grind it oh great nudge oh okay okay he's got three to go on sorcerer oh no good oh bad catch turned into a great recovery still like 50,000 to go wants that orbit now yeah he wants that he can get the orbit and he get a bonus X on top no be nice we got another sorcerer Target okay here we go here we go get 25 get it get get it get it get it they uh shorten the timer on those as well I believe he's only needs 30 31,000 to go 10,000 bonus I'm going for that spinner all day there it is there it is okay get the bonus X yes he's he's got to be done with bonus right he's got it yep he's got it two times don't tilt Jay just don't tilt two times 14 yeah just walk away he already realizes it step back step back just want to play it down there it is yes good work from Mr Kenny both well done yes got theut deserve well deserved high five all right so now I guess we can trans we're transitioning to Thrones I believe right this should be their uh that's it yeah so let's go go to uh transition as we see everybody who is still here grinding it out trying to finish the rounds you know what they got on uh sorcerer what everyone got here it's a sad day all right scor score is about to be updated by Adam Becker right now all right so this doing this is more warm-ups here doing a quick check of the target score Game of Thrones Target score is 150 million so that's basically like a real strong um real strong groy mode really like if you can get all five with a nice combo or get your swords done and then use that are we seeing uh better scores on on this game um a little bit better I mean with the with the classic rules is the classic rules not the classic rules the uh the Casual rules are in now so C certain strategies that we usually do don't AR and play but if you just play the game it's all right I mean but you just try to play game relatively normally but one thing they did do is they put did put a nice fat rubber here and so it bounces off this way so to keep the ball to keep the shot from making right so like but see like even when you short plunge it will bounce off so that they keep you from doing short Pune catch and then or short plch bounce over so you always have to on any shot do something right unless it hops over it sometimes the ball will hop over the little fat rubber and it won't and it won't uh do that but yeah there is a little hidden surprise there which everybody here knows about now cuz they played it yesterday but it does throw a wrench into the proceedings so cly all right so now yeah see all right see now that one was an exception yeah yeah look pretty smooth that was an exception you're trying to try you know trying to see how much you can hit it you know can you can you make it not just land on the post which apparently um yeah that worked Dan found out that he can do it so you know let's just see how this comes off again I guess that post that post is not doing it now yeah you mean did they change rubber or just I don't know yeah I want to look at that rubber now cuz it was like every ball would go off yeah yeah I would doubt that they changed the rubber on that yeah test the Tilt thank you tilt yeah there you go all right still warming it up yeah warming up that that one went off the side that one did yeah that one went off the side a little bit so I guess if you do something to get it off of there it might will not kick over yeah that one kicked over yeah right that one did almost came back yeah there's gr like if you can really get all five grade Joy shots really quickly or at least get that fifth one with a the multiplier you kind of got the 150 like that sounds like a good Str kind of got it so but you got to get that swords done cuz with's in casual mod since you have um Zac Stark done already you get a sword lit so you want to get that sword out of the way so at least you have an extra multiplier on it MH there second they're ready to go it's a real game all right we are live or at least we can change the score we're missing a score hold on I don't know if I can run them down and before they start go yeah I hit that rubber so I guess it's like when you hit the rubber is it going to bounce off nice and friendly it's are you going to bounce you don't know cuz it's going to put it right it's you don't know whether it's going to be a save or not now again with great joy you have you have basically an 8sec timer to hit one of the shots and then they all light for another eight seconds and so you get keep stringing the eight right right and you got to keep going you got to keep going all right now we're going to restart gr again here they go one more Lannister make that same shot again triy to careful one down one down two that's combo oh you see the way that R the the rubber really affected that one yeah tried to backand you think that backhand is going to be key cuz there's a sword there all right got it all right got the sword done last one okay now you got the last one now that's 3x CL pass we can make it oh but the ball just got erased big value on it but the ball left the Playfield in super fast speed yeah you got the value but so that was a good first ball I mean you know now we I you can't see the score can't see it again I don't see what the score was did it go down yeah it went down the score went down again ah but we can assume a pretty impressive number for Derek on ball one at least in the hundreds definitely right I mean if not if not definitely now all right now let's handle handle these shots handle that orbit two all right it's going to B may bounce off that rubber all oh put the ball down that was harsh what is that that rubber put it right down the middle yeah there the score see all Targets 150 oh look at that 139 tantalizingly close so basically you know any decent Lannister right but you you got to do that but it's like in order to get a decent Lannister you going have multiball with it so it's kind of sort of just playing the game anyway but or you can Martel just Martell and just get out you know just start that get that's enough to do it two take your two and go that's it yep yeah the camera slipping again look it's slowly slipping down they all right now back to our show but the camera is still hovering a little bit uh come on all right so great joy starting here he goes here we go get the middle done get the orbit done and then we'll discuss the other shots whoa whoa whoa whoa get control all right Orbit's job try to attempt at the dragon real quick nice orbit oh nice combo now can he get the combo all he got the lock though is that got the shot then he got the shot this is this should be nice oh that's one that's already 140 carried it there it is there you go 23 he's done woo one he's shocked he's shocked he got it done woo nice very very nice to look up and see that big number there that's the first since I've been seen that's the first one I've seen now the camera is slipp camera slipped down but we know that Derek has 139 but it's slipping further and further and further and further no [Music] no we're falling oh no all right well we know it's time for time for Great Joy again same plan all good whoa come on we need that we need that Center shot before we discuss anything else there you go nice stop you can backhand his ramp get a sword where you get your sword you got to have that that L like an orbit shot attempt I don't know yeah lot timer ran out y so I can restart it [Music] Martel as we get another picture of the top of the Playfield from the other camera is going lower and lower whoa where are we going where are we going oh down Val so he wasn't a restart groy yet play Jo Tom yeah all right we can almost there you go now we're back I heard we just saw a one on here yeah we did we did have a one from Mr Kenny Jay Kenny got a one wow that's impressive I was telling Steve it's the first one I've seen since I've been sitting here really yeah I just got a one on sorcerer so I uh assured myself to show up tomorrow at 9:00 in the morning and this camera is had it the scoreboard camera is done for the night just like you know he's been working hard for what three days now finished what did Jay do to get a one Martell I assume no he did a very good performance in Great Joy wow finished it combo combo combo combo combo combo sword combo at that's uh 86 million 88 million for the last shot getting paid it's just the camera does not does not want to hang out with us it's kind of they're trying they're trying to get the step no you see over here on this trying it is trying we're watching some uh fancy camera work action here in Las Vegas Nevada at the flippers Fiel underground arcade Club had you been here before Steve no I haven't no are you pleased well I guess I better say I'm pleased since you're asking but non-politically yes I am pleased I'm glad I why don't we just get a roving reporter report the scores at this point you know whatever cuz the cameras had hey leave it there we'll take it yeah we saw for a second we saw all four scores you've been commentating all afternoon Steve most of this yeah since whenever I sat down here I just s have been sitting here I don't know how how long it's been I know long been playing for like 5 hours man well it hasn't been all of that time but yeah maybe four and a half yeah you've been uh working hard for us where okay we got good this we go walk away leave it this is good yeah no one touch it this is good no one nudge it you got to nudge it though you got to nudge it this is good this is good all right we did okay woohoo wa doesn't have much left all right targets 150 yeah targets 150 get that sword that might get it done sword and get out of here that's easily a back handable shot uh no didn't try telling it now he's at lanister rather all right which means he has to kind of brick something in order to or take a sword the sword's still there sword is there right the sword and he's going to get a Lannister shot with the sword he was going to get one don't H don't forget the sword okay there's a brick so now he's got some some shots lit oh no I know he didn't just try to shoot the center ramp from the right left flipper because it's oh because the post pass is not working oh on the Fly here comes some more shots that's one strike he does have the ball saves L got it done wow all right it's a struggle just to get these points 141 there's some more there's some more shots on the board sword oh he must not know you can backhand it from the right flipper can you back in that from the right yeah it's even better yeah it's it's a clean shot up the ramp it's got but it was a small oh it's the was the lowest sword part eater no combo no points on it okay 146 yeah going backwards up the sword ramp is m go to to get to the Martell shot cuz post passes on this game this game in particular uh are always been dicey that's got to be enough that's 146 and then yeah all right that's then that's enough with the bonus and here comes the bonus yeah that's fine yeah nice two nice two woo F just about caved his head in on the sign overhead here like good job we should have had that on the stream right going oh brutal lock out the lock is so dangerous on this game man cuz he not really thinking I mean you know not really completing those barathan targets and get the ball saves L on the on the outlanes that was the only time I was actually aiming for the lock is when I had the Lord of light lit for me and then I felt somewhat safe because it looked like the drain was always out one of the outlanes all right nice friendly feed from the post on the upper right oh oh my goodness going to goodness Targaryen is disaster there thing for the dragon oh boy another save go trap it up and he tried to backand it that's what happen can't backhand that Center shot it's a lot safer to backhand the uh left orbit I think all right so we have two players who passed who need to just plunge all right as me steps up ready to start someone gray joy and possibly something more backhand Center ramp nice all right three shots for Great Joy still needs to get the sword on the right ramp careful all right take that sword now right with the multiplier up yeah back hand there right there it is needle nice goes oh that would have been sweet if that backand worked in the dragon oh oh oh here all right so now we have to work on we have a lock another backhand attempt no yes one two and trap up and hold just don't do anything trap up okay look at amies did everyone see me just uh don't even dance too hard I wouldn't even do that I'm scared he's very proud that he disas St all right so now we take this we take this ramp shot and then we and then we negotiate from there or is he going to sword now oh he's doing my t that's a smart play Martel Martell was certainly my go-to all right Martell well he doesn't have any swords though to help out his Martel multiplier he guess he got distracted from that now he's back to now he's back to GRE jooy again oh make it all right okay okayo all right great joy and Martel do it yes do it mhm taking taking orbit oh let's get over there go back back hand in orbit uhhuh that's one good value well not yet well the back Jaa didn't build as much as I thought it would be right where's that 19 where's that 19 number that there's another one okay oh no stop too early he thought he he thought he had enough to bounce the over to the flipper yep stopped too early and that's what we get oh and none of those none of those shots were paid those Martel shots are not payment that was just a jackpot building right that's why I score is still nine that all right so now get that bounce over nice another back end up to Center nice and smooth great joy and Lannister now combo to this combo went to the dragon into the dragon oh oh ah this game do not want to just give up any points here no put together multiple different can't stack the modes the drain multiple different plans and just no okay all right now take the all right no bounce over that time all right it's almost tough to PR prct which way it's going to go backand for some winter is coming there it is now back to gray Joy oh we got some Lannister as well and Martel so now which one all right great joy Lannister was an attempt to stop it that's two strikes that's two strikes definitely and you might wait you got you got wa you wait you're going to lose the timer well it's going to stop it it is stop okay cuz he has H anything so he does have 5 seconds on his great joy now the time might run out if he doesn't hurry okay meanwhile he's still with appreciate the use of a sword right now ah there you go oh no oh no couldn't nudge it didn't have the have enough PL off and this being ball five and the target 150 million yeah and I believe there was one great joy shot remaining for Yasmine not sure what lock she's at either yeah let's see what this is whoa here comes the backand probably no try I'm going try it again cuz she she's been hitting it no one warning one warning for that hard flip nice there it is clean all right so here we go and three yes Blackwater now take out let's take out the Dragon Dragon yeah well you got your ball save on yeah yeah dragon dragon dragon dragon oh she tried another chance of the Dragon risky shots now yeah ball say's running out losing time for Dragon okay she got the right ramp right orbit I mean she's dragging all day right here drag got got dragon all right so now we see going to see that points but we' have no idea what oh come on mean back in that uh 127 just got to backand that left orbit there extra ball pay as well 127 extra Ball P 10 I think 127 and 22 that's got to be more I think she's going to be I think she's going to be at okay 289 okay got it yeah walk away what a clutch B five right five wow you sh that balls like 40 million yeah it was definitely yeah less than 50 certainly Dan so Dan has ball three ready at Blackwater got some missions ready to go right now just make this shot that's all make it oh oh my goodness oh my was late oh that was early on the fly all right okay good modes yeah yeah oh yeah here we go Lannister and great joy plus Blackwater Blackwater which that was ball three lost yeah let's see the same thing all right ramp into the dragon if he needs a dragon yep ramp into the dragon okay that one doesn't count the balls are coming out coming out yeah okay ball saver's already over fine okay there you go smart play give him a good feed there you go okay ramp into the dragon dragon dragon all day dragon dragon dragon dragon no what is he thinking here well dragon's over now yeah so yeah great joy is is ended so now I just got to complete backhand the sword there it is good going for the Martell shot now I think a bit of a jailbreak there cuz the balls were on top of each other still alive get some control we go transition back to single ball play ah good he lives he lives for a little while longer living dangerously oh all right dude trap think about it think winter is coming go that's got paid for it freebie freebie I think he's pretty close to the wall is he a wall one now there it is one for the wall I would think wall out right one more yeah do one more nice try to get on the close oh rubbed it off backand does he know he's going to wall up if he back hands up into the multiplier he do does he does give him a fortuitous pop bump there it is the wall should be ready did they give it did not he did not get that other roll over so he is not ready for the wall yet can you have the wall running with a mode yeah I think otherly you can as long as you have the mode start wait a minute no cuz if you're starting a moded I don't know if it counts down while you're doing that I don't know either I'm not sure that's why I'm asking the expert well that doesn't mean I know everything so it says it's ready all right it looks like it says it's ready so that answers your a very important stingingly based question that you ask you're welcome I mean he's pretty much ready right trap and finish up the middle and he'll be done with Martell where he goes to the wall I probably take that middle shot Martel dragon dragon dragon dragon yeah dragon now Martell didn't pay very well cuz he didn't get the multiplier on it is he thinking about yeah transferred over and now try for the dragon 's fine come on all right Dragon oh good yeah that's his first one that's his first strike I think that's his first strike all right you try to backand the dragon that's two at least strikes yeah he's fine he's fine trap up and let the Bob settle there all right so now nice shot right to the dragon hopefully we can get a very long mode here at least two supers maybe a third will get it done way the values grows on this thing and wall is what shoot lit shots and then into the battering yeah he's first the first time he's got to shoot ramps so he got to get three ramps done first then we'll will look at the dragon three of each or no just any three of them yeah so he can shoot the middle one three times if he wanted okay someone might have disqualified for the finals he's super and that is it and that's all for this group here now this we have now that we have this done my question is can we slide this over to another group who's left there got to be there's play happening and I'm imagining that there would be some pertinent play happening looks like Star Trek is still running but it looks like it's ball five right Kay on it all right let's go let's let's go to the room yeah okay so they getting ready to play Star Wars see a we see a Star Trek Bank Star Trek game running we see a Star Wars game on one that's play that's one player yeah so that's not a thing unless they're warming up and we got to be getting pretty close to being done here let's take a look at the scoreboard there's a few groups that say they have one hole left to play and then Theory there is a group that needs to play Star Wars but I'm not sure if they just got it done or not my question is where the standings is that group I refer that they had at least one bubble player in it so wherever Derek would play could be a bubble and then going the other way wherever Jason rrick is playing could be a bubble game uh Kyle George is on the bubble he's at plus three with one game Kay k okay so there you go so kayy was on Star Trek so so they that is Kaylee is on the cut line okay so we are moving it might be getting uh might be going they have one game left after it'll be black R that's where this is going depending on what Kaye just got on startrek he's at plus three and the cut right now is projected at plus three steeve all right so that will be a very very important game and Jason wrick is also in that group is he is currently even so if he doesn't get a good score yeah if he does well he's in gets an ace that would be good yep on the flip side if he get to 10 done good night all right so is that uh yeah we're not live yet so we'll keep it on the room Yep looks like uh Robert who was in my group he took a nine on Sorcerer And he's right at the cut line right now this at three yeah g okay both them right what do we what do you do for ties if there's people tied for the cut line um is there playoff there is a playoff tomorrow morning so tomorrow morning 0900 they'll have the top 16 will play and then uh the top four novice players will also play tomorrow and novice is defined as anyone ranked higher than 250 or lower than 250 however you want to look at it so it's yeah we have at least one bubble player that we just saw there probably two so thank you right now there are 17 players on the positive side of the cut so I'm guessing everyone who ends up at plus three is going to have a a playoff game to get into the final 16 tomorrow they not they are yeah they they are done but we're going to go over to Black Rose because it's going to be a a showdown game here now my question is is this live four players are in I don't know with the 25,000 ball one you think it could be live I don't know how you'd get 25,000 in a short play that doesn't hit anything and goes down in an out lane I don't know could be maybe yeah when when uh I played this earlier two players in my group had the same score after ball one five okay 510,000 100 and they exact they did the exact same thing um skill shot into in lane or skill shot basically into the out lane that that's it yeah yeah okay so this is this is definitely warm-ups as we saw a purposeful TR by Mr wri to uh just get another ball out and practice this now SK shot all right again we're here in fabulous Las Vegas deeta at the flippers Spiel underground arcade Club playing in the ifp pin Masters champion ship all right so there's can we can we can we change the lower third apologies for not being able to change lower third uh just go to ifpa pinball.com and look at the current standings for the people who are in this group let's take a look est's pretty much qualif yeah that's your in he has dominated he has minus33 for today Steve look at that yep clearly Far and Away ahead but if you look at the at the standings it's kind of clear to see with the four people in this group cuz they're the only ones that don't have a whole six yeah it'll be uh Ester Jason Kaylee and David Oliver David right and yeah Jason wck definitely hanging out by the cutline he will be the player we will be looking at there yeah Jason and Kaye are both in still in danger in danger as well y a good game by Kay assures him to not be in the uh playoff here which I assume will happen at plus three keep an eye on the scoreboard as other scores come in to see if the cut line moves oh so Kaye got a five on Star Trek so he dropped below the cut line Steve he's at plus four right now he's right on the edge of disaster and then Jason wrick also took a five on Star Trek so he inched closer to the cut line so Kaye needs to have a good score here a one two or three all right we're about to go live all right here we go we're on and we're off and see how tight it was it's just that quick I mean basically hitting the skill shot not being able to react off the skill shot which requires a nudge which requires an out lane and then walk away I mean that's that's just that's that fast we have eer walking in very secure in his position having played above and beyond pretty sure can take a 10 and still drive the bus tomorrow yeah all right skill shot is done and he got an in lanane and he got a second in lanane he can start his first mode already if he wants maybe do some double broadside hope he can get that what do you think the most solid strategy is here shoot the world P 15 times and leave whereever is 20 times yeah 1 2 3 4 a million and then another what 14 of them yeah so that's 18 shots so 18 in a row then drop the mic and Le but if you can get double broadside thenes four shots is it four yeah 1 2 four and eight is 15 and that's it yep and so you do that ramp out with the multiple running because you get a million for every letter letter right so there's lots of ways to do it but where do you think the safest way is I don't think there is one no they're all equally they're all equally dangerous CU all it just takes is one miss even on the whirlpool and that Whirlpool is uh if you hit it fast oh eer going immediately got it three ball not me so every ramp that he hits now will be worth two million all right 2 million done the letters are done million milon another set of letters he you just got 6 Mill 8 million he's already finished so he just hasn't seen it yet yeah he's done Ester with another one Steve unbelievable all right so that'll give him 14 under for the tournament very impressive performance by eer and and now I assume Mr wrick is up he's the one looking at it pretty intensely he needs a at least better than average performance to avoid a tiebreaker given that KY is behind him so as far as standing and I believe in position so all right so let's see which which one of the many strategies he uses to get this 15 million all right survives the oh he barely survives the opening plunge see what he goes for y transfer and now rol here we we go one 100,000 nope that next shot is timed if he doesn't get it going to go back down a step off the edge of the flipper and he's still alive that's yeah a swish disaster there a switch right down with three lock Lanes does he get to keep those Lanes who knows on these settings he does he does get to keep the lanes and he'll have the ship open so if he's shrewd he can shoot right into the cannon you know and then shoot into the lock and he'll have the lock lit right there on his plunge hello cows oh brutal Kelly is below the line so he needs to step up quick and now he needs to start running yeah three three or bust for needs to start running now cuz Robert has he's in the clubhouse at three under Robert and David Johnston are in the clubhouse at 300 so he has to at least get four to tie it three to push them down to a tiebreaker I think par is four yeah so he needs to have a three get in the clubhous with Robert oh so a par will not be good enough he needs to channel his iner Tiger Woods or Phil mickson coming here with the birdie on number 18 oh my and and the only reason that caught a piece of the left flipper is because he hit the game to the right so it's not like he had a play on it two plunges in a row had no play no play that's that's just that's almost unfair except that it's pinball but this that's a shot that you know he didn't know whatever let's just let's just th destroy a ship too that's has already passed did they hit the ship just messing around yeah cuz they had pled it and it went into the locker so you had to take the shot cuz it wasn't you know yeah I so was that the Blindfolded Chip Shot he just hit the button and went in there whenever course when you don't need it and go right in he'll get another shot at the ship uh next ball yeah that's how it works in pinball isn't it yeah the rich do get richer Jason the world is your yours go get it all right first step double broadside we can make it then we'll talk about what happens next okay you take it take the ship letter instead double broadside I think it's lit right no maybe not no no cuz he took he took the ship the lock yeah he took the ship letter with the lock potential but very sensitive tilt not sure I agree with that decision but I thought he going I thought he going to go for the broadside and then go for four shots and then the out of here but he was Al also think about getting the ship letters too so he only needs three to go but interesting choice fortunately with the ship letters there's no guarantee you're going to SN the ship you know right still have to make the shot which he then did made casually on he just yeah he pretty much already wasted his Bojo right he just casually wasted it perfectly fine shot but when you need it it's just not there I mean it's just that's just the rule for some reason it's amazing all right kayy who is again below the line and he does not survive the opening plunge I mean BR brutal opening plunge for most of these players and it almost becomes do you want to hit the skill shot anymore I mean a soft plunge to I mean we just saw how many times four four of these balls have been played having opening plunges down or opening plunges into trouble I think David is just excited that he got to flip David's playing pinball now he's like thank you Game he took three balls before he got to flip all right Nice Shot we go instant multiball in multiball let see if he can get control here let him have it oh my goodness that is come on man back to the drawing board and the ball's not even coming off the insert smoothly and it's doing curve balls off the huge cannon insert things are getting brutal over here in Pirate no nice oh no don't don't tilt him come on let him have it let him have it cuz that was great trap up unbelievable double danger save on a game that we know is so tight all right nice throw my least favorite video mode we're going to hit a barrel oh we going to hit somebody y me parrot throws better no [Music] yeah nice ramp to the cannon no combo all right side stepping into the cannon now double broadside and all right here we go double broadside is that 7 million already that's already 8 million so this will take him to 10 million all right and then this will take him to 14 million plenty of time I mean he's got 20 seconds so okay can I imagine his bonus if he gets to 14 will be enough as long as he doesn't tilt out yeah don't tilt it out right all right here comes 14 million so which needs 500,000 to go hit something else anything else don't tilt dude just don't tilt just okay this is actually really close with the way with the how low bonuses are in this game so I'm not 100% confident in this right now tell you the truth with oh with 500,000 to go show the score okay come on show the score game okay give yes that's another 100 into the lock it's into the lock and let's go don't shoot don't shoot the center of course it's like it's like have it but he got the million anyway and it's done done it's done just let him just show him to score there you go yes good three woo well done that's how you do it meanwhile here is um Jason shooting s's 30 million Cannon shot all right Jason here we go Strokes are running out plunge there skill shot oh no oh no no no like you can see how it landed ah wow as soon as it bounced off that it was headed toward bad bad trouble bad you see the arc watching these players if I were going to be playing this next I wouldn't even TR no like what skill shot like what we're just going to make our pinball shots yeah let's whatever let's just soft plune to a flipper and then I'll I'll handle that all right Kaye again Strokes are running out maybe we'll see an ultra short plunge by kayy that's what this gning to look like oh he got it and he will survive the opening plunge still does not have control but he did survive that oh and oh my goodness that's two breathe breathe don't move very often okay Center is millions where Millions plus ramp out here let get some Whirlpool get some left ramp maybe look at how that way that just dripped off the right flipper getting 30 seconds of this so this is a lot of time yeah a lot of time to hit this all right yes one million oh oh two million two million 3 million oh 4 million that was a great shot and then oh that would have ended it that's that PR oh that gets close to ending it where is he 400,000 to go be with bonus do not trust bonus on this game all right post transfer into the lock I think well he's got the will P for 1 million it's counting away there you go now right he's got it Kelly has finished he has made the cut at plus three he will play assuming Mr wrick also stays in the Jason now again yeah let's let's plunge let's just plunge um people's who's oh man now he's got to do a video mode it's like whatever just just don't the guy in the and then they're successful of course they're successful cuz no this this is not the ball you need to be successful on okay wow yeah look at yeah B is not very nice on this 100,000 all right now I think Jason just wants control yeah now you see how nice that ball went off of the three Bank there that's not going to happen when he bles it on his wall I this is ridiculous just give just give him the ball on a flippers so he can play the feud now come on all right yeah let's go for the cannon shot you know I'm feeling that I'm feeling that that point loock is lit loock is lit double BR side bang what's he looking for looking for double BR side you know what yeah let's handle this now he's at three all right he's at five now take the lock with the double BR side now will he get to keep the ball on the plunge yes all right a very key plunge happening need a soft plunge just like you know just a little just get it in is a TI oh what is it what is that he what happened he slam plunged it to make it go up the ramp to ensure that he was getting a SN shift letter and he til and that tilted he hit it so hard wow you cannot even can't even slam plunge on it he uh such a shame when you got toch three other players here's the situation Steve if he doesn't make a five he's out he makes it here so he has so he has to do it on this ball this is it and then this of a tiebreaker if so if he makes a five he is in the tiebreaker yes sir okay yeah so yeah you're looking at a five to even have a chance to play in the tiebreaker anything less than a five there will be no tiebreaker I don't believe he know that right now I don't know cuz Kay will move up into plus three and Jason will move down out of plus three with anything anything other than a five so we have people in the clubhouse at plus three yeah go we've got sink ship letters there I think you're going right up the middle yeah was his lock lit lock his lit to shoot the for 20 million and oh my goodness oh get it back on the edge of everything on the edge of oh lock is lit just get in there all right now spot loud that just like light a letter he still needs more not ready to go yet yeah cuz he tilted out we have to make it all again oh get control all right post transfer no no take the take the letter Take a Letter bounce it over get in there a little bit early on that shot all right this is for the ship isn't it yeah here it is s the ship and he's done Boom so that will put him in tiebreaker position I believe we'll have four people having what a one game playoff I believe that's how but I guess will it be a one game pin golf I assume I think it be one game pin golf right I think that's it so Kaye moves up Jason moves down there four people that'll be tied at uh plus three wow and I think two for how many spots two spots right I think two spots four for two spots which will happen tomorrow morning before we start wow so yeah there'll be 17 so four for three spots maybe one person will get cut one person will be out okay also four play for three spots four play for three spots one yeah so my math is right it'll be Jason David Johnston Robert G and Kay George we have a showdown game tomorrow at 9 o00 to see who makes it into the uh finals right that's the I guess we know what even what the what the game will be is that going to be a random choice or ooh I wonder you know what the rule is cuzz this it's not it's not a seed Choice everybody has he's looking he's looking to see the scores all done if you want us to be I am I don't know I still see play I don't know who's playing there anybody else playing is anybody else playing any anything significant is there any significant games left and is that is that a significant game I don't think so let's take a look here at number five who's playing number five Star Trek is a non-significant game okay all right uh it's Johnny Moda and he's down at plus 14 he's the best in his group all right uh number seven looks like X-Men might still be getting played and there could be some significance in Xmen but no it's um Zach Sharpe and Carrie Wing are playing Xmen and they're already well as we guess we begin to wind down officially yeah from the show thank you all for joining us and uh join us again not necessarily me but join whoever is sitting at this at this table 9:00 a.m. tomorrow for first the tiebreaker to see who will reach the 16 player final in the 2019 pin
