here but I'm watching a laser lock Carlos um Doodlebug this Doodlebug plays Super brutal actually I couldn't see what ball that he's on he's on his last ball here at the ball is on though so oh nice addable is on so you can get like I don't know Progressive all right thank you sheep wall you know you were the closest to ruining it oh damn so 23 000 actually would be it would be surprising to me if that wasn't good for at least like I don't know at least three points so the tournament we're playing today is a target match play um the scores at the bottom are not correct so ignore those but uh thumbnail was less undoable like how fitting yep so he was done at around 23 000 something so I don't really want to mess with the uh the streaming thing to like fix uh the scores at the bottom but uh see everyone bobbler Chief Walla I've already seen you a couple times today uh Dalton see everybody so we're playing the target match play today it is first once you're in 70 points you were gone so uh yeah I played uh I played very well today Jermaine Edie you helped me by uh forcing me to learn how to play El Dorado city of gold and all those months ago you can oh that is a very Doodle Bug way to drain he did nothing wrong but sometimes it just doesn't work out for you even if you do it right so again the score oh he's got the Thousand pop it's so rare that you see it it's so rare if he can just go up top a couple more times the value is insane oh still not a terrible ball though all right probably worth finding the exact skill shot how many qualify just 16. no buys no Buys so if you would like to go see the standings I don't know if there's a command but uh it is uh neverdrains.com t-a-t-l 2022. pinball at the lab at the Riverside game lab it's a it's a pretty unfortunate game of Doodlebug not getting a single 5000 any Ball but out of balls are on so you can uh oh so I think that's lost holding on to at least the point here so it's 23-17 someone uh someone write the score in chat I guess I could thank you for the sub Dr blueberry Johnson I know I'm not Carl but I'll still thank your subs there's a decent yep there's the uh link right there thank you outlaw best streamer in the business I wholeheartedly agree thanks Vine stepping up seventeen thousand and twenty three thousand are the scores to beat doesn't get to start on a 5 000 but and we'll see it's been a decent amount of out-of-towners uh Kaylee and his wife are here Jasmine and uh miles Grant and Dave Grant from Canada are here of course my dad and I from Colorado uh what does trap ball must be flipped mean so on Doodlebug when you hit the center Target it starts the the doodle and uh if you can live catch it on the crook of the flip or the top of the flipper like where the crook would be you can actually get it to like settle there and as long as you just hold the flipper in you can get infinite points right so like right now the Doodle's running for 10 points at a time but uh so you can't it's just making it sure that you cannot cradle yeah Nick I think Nick I assume that's how you say but uh Nick was the closest to beating me today by far it was literally one switch away on uh I think I don't remember what the game was called like Lady Luck something like that one switch away from Catching me one shot and just barely came short oh nearly the five thousand no five thousand left from anyone that we've seen so far oh there it is that's what you want to get right there all right arrow and an extra wallet on the center oh it kissed the target but didn't quite register this target almost guarantees like I had a 23 000. like it is great value because you start the doodle at 100 another extra ball this is so scary there it is so 100 points every every time that ball goes up and down oh it's up the doodle there but I also got the extra ball so it's essentially ball one yeah that's essentially ball one and already uh guaranteed five was just asking me if attleball was on does this go 16 gets 70 or what's our time limit what am I what do I click Carl oh I see okay it is doodle time you have 16 qualifiers uh it'll go until uh 16 people get 70 and I think our time limit you know what the time limit is do you know when this will run they're just asking uh I was told I think 10 30. it's somewhere on the website but uh yeah all right this is kind of just gravy here uh a good score on this doodle bike like if you go to the uh if you go to the uh let me look at the link actually it's actually really cool you can see every score on every game throughout the tournament so what's the top score on Doodlebug I know uh uh Jim had an insane game earlier Jake Collins got a 144 000. oh my God [Applause] I don't know if you guys can hear uh Doctor Who but the two loud games is uh what's a torpedo alley and uh Doctor Who of course you can hear it yeah fair enough nice that's uh that's how you play Doodlebug right there get those 5Ks when they matter even though they don't really matter right now I'm really liking the chances here so I think that's the game 49.85 solid solid game so all right Marshalls facing 17 000 for the first point uh 23 000 for the second and then call it 50 000 for the uh for the win Doodlebug is one of those games that I really don't like going forth on it's hard to a lot of the time you have very little control over what happens it feels like it so uh just being able to go first and you know put that score up you know it feels good sometimes unless you get 8 000 and then all right Center Post is up the second approach on this game is nice but like everything puts it down there's these two giant slings underneath the one in the four Target that put the uh extra balls lit oh an extra ball Target almost as guarantees them a point but uh this thing plays uh really mean like very very mean El Rocco with the sub appreciate it so the one thing that Nick was doing that no one else was was out of the scoot they were bumping really hard up and uh that seemed to work out better because they got a bunch of all this like kept going back into the scoop and at least remark he's gotten none that have gone back up oh that one nearly dead 13 000 is the score to beat he needs any of the 1000 targets anywhere on the play field all right he's got him so he needs what 8 000 more oh extra ball and the hunter doodle just needs to slow it down just a little bit okay that's a slow drain though you got an extra you're good you have one more ball I don't think he knew he got the extra ball there I really think you should the full plunge here has been going like bounce bounce in a lot it's at 5 000 that's all he needs there is a universe he just plunges and gets enough points it's I don't remember the exact score it was 23 something all right he's definitely got it it was 23 so good second place well done so what do we got here we got Doodlebug yeah we just finished up here on Doodle uh okay oh shine one Mark Schultz got second okay Carlos got third and Jared got four guys I believe if you can hear me I don't know if you can hear me he's on his phone score how are you holding up Escher right yes yeah uh I am I have finished 10 games in a row oh my goodness tent first place in a row yep you're an animal that's crazy and I uh I've removed eight percent of all Whoppers from everybody so Savage yeah that's all honest man yeah exactly you gotta do it you gotta do it I got some very good game picks today I I got to play all the LCD sperms and uh get rib certified yeah exactly but uh yep very good man I'm I'm doing a poker performance like the mid 30s somethings so yeah you need a couple first in a row to get back involved I'm doing I'm not making I'm also not so bad that nobody that everyone's like oh my gosh did you see that it was the worst I'm just very very forgettable right yeah so it's still recoverable you got time still yeah that's true not a lot of time but there's still time yeah for sure let me Colorado right yes I am Colorado so my family recently moved out to Colorado uh past few years uh they're in Parker like oh yeah south of Denver but so I get out there like every two months or so I want to play in some like local tournaments things like that I can't do League obviously I'm not out there but like do you have your finger on the pulse of kind of the scene out there not really so I live in Fort Collins which is very far north like almost on the border of uh Wyoming and uh oh so you're like a French yeah so I'm pretty far out there going to CSU but uh got it got it I mean Central Denver there's a tournament almost every Sunday yeah okay uh at one up or yeah so I think I don't I think the website so it's coloradopinball.com I think got it it's run by uh snow Galvin if you know who she is uh yeah and there's also a Facebook group there's uh yeah Colorado tournament yeah just just look it up yeah but there's some good tournaments with some great players you get to play with everyone's favorite pinball player Walt wood okay and uh all the other Denver people I want to try and represent Orange County out in Colorado you know get a little cross-pollination yeah you know that kind of cool stuff yeah Mr stealing us uh would taking two rounds have been playing your best and optimize your Whoppers potential yes I I think it would have been like I was all I think that would have been fine uh the main reason I didn't or like even wanted to is uh because Whoppers to me right now only matter like Whoppers between Kaylee and Raymond because they're by far the closest to catch me at number one right so if I tank the Whoppers for myself I'm also tanking it for them which means I can't I'm almost guaranteeing I can't Decay or lose ground against them from this tournament and uh also I don't think I'll ever get a chance to win 10 in a row like this in a Target match play so it's a rarity you know yeah someone like myself it's an impossibility but you know for someone at your level uh yeah you're in that Arena man that torpedo alley or is that torpedo alley yeah or maybe oh that was a doctor who profito Ali and Doctor Who and by far though 4D Whopper chests exactly yeah yeah it's it's interesting how much the math matters at that high level tourists when it comes to pinball and uh you know so you can you have fun few high fives yeah that's what makes it worth it yeah so what happened on Doodlebug is uh Carlos got a third Jared got fourth Nick sign Juan and Marshalls took second thank you for the sub Oak City 20 months 12 months wow no game on it next round appreciate that and Neil McRae you can't be too far I only saw him a little bit ago oh they're in the room huh yep the furthest traveler by far to this tournament in the UK from the UK flew in on a Tuesday exactly I like it it's perfect all right give me the quick 60 second Insider info on Doodlebug how do I how do I freaking blow this game uh I would honestly on this one I would just go up top you just shoot up the sides okay good things happen in the pops uh teams uh very friendly going back in the scoop if you are close to getting one if you do one two three four and then the center Target will be left for an extra ball as well as really good points oh okay so that's how you get like a lot of points is if you can do one two three four twice in the ball and then hit the center because the doodle bug will start and it's a thousand each time got it um you can get it up to ten thousand but you know good luck doing that how deadly are these gaps um the majority of your balls that's where you drain huh okay yeah so you just gotta flip every time and not play defensively got it got it yeah I mean you know these these flat playfields look so simple so much fun yeah um but yeah they keep you honest it is very very hot here in California it was we uh left Colorado's mid 60s 50s and we had some nice rain all the California people that just moved into Colorado for like at my school were all complaining and I'm like I got bad news for you guys oh okay where's that camera oh it's right here we are and Carl's right there say hi Carl yeah just talking to a an unoccupied uh pinball yeah they're saying hi to you Carl having fun Carl loads of fun I'm just checking the game to the left let's take a look at the standings if you haven't done that yet I don't think you have yet electronic I have seen that game the trombone champ game oh that was hilarious it's hard yeah I think a uh trackball such as this one oh really could actually make it easier yeah instead of a mouse what do you think because you're going like maybe I'm trying to think of like the best way you gotta do something like those sliders oh yeah the slider would be of course yeah but yeah so that's like cheating waiting for the trombone controller yes exactly yes I love me some Groove coaster so what are we wearing on here Johnny now tonight we're only gonna do games in here because the umbrella is too high to get through the door so it's gonna be a pain and you'll worry about that tomorrow yes tomorrow we will switch between the rooms so we have two rooms set up here this is in the private rooms I'm sure yep you've talked all about that all right um Doctor Who is still running No Doctor Who is done put them so we're almost ready for the next round where's my dad at he was trying to give me like sign language or something I don't know yeah let's see Colorado needs more bonami I'm working on it I have just bought a another one I've now and now I own two Japanese Rhythm arcade cabinets so what does the chat think of you uh getting the perfect 10 rounds and uh killing the uh the tpg going to the tgp in the tournament yeah yeah I don't know I'm just happy with how I played I mean I got some very fortunate game Karma like I played uh all three LCD Stern games I played Banzai Run I played Johnny Mnemonic I played um I mean even like what is it I forget what it's called so I don't know there's four people put after under that pressure I think it's great I think it's great sorry yeah so oh I'm ready to hang out tonight take it easy what time does this go to what's the cut off 11 11 is the latest it can go to okay I said 10 30 earlier because I feel like I heard that somewhere but but I don't think we'll go that long it's I don't think it's gonna like because a lot of the people at 14 that are tied to 14 right now are going to be out in three four potentially rounds are taking what 45 minutes ish about yeah so what is that it's like even even last really yeah so we should be done by 10 here now that you're gone it'll be less uh I guess I might have heard a little bit I think I only had like two games when I was last I I bonsai was kind of I I spent a lot of time on that yeah you did you did I did rolling Bonsai yeah rolling Bonsai with Cliff jumps at 25. am I gonna show off that hand beam what what's the hand beam I can't I'm not think of it yeah Morocco had an epic ball on Bonsai that's where I left uh she got over 2 million I hope nice let's see current standings I I don't know how he used that ball that's you know I brought the small keyboard and the track I say this is really nice keyboard no one would touch the uh the computer oh nice so people would be too confused yes exactly that's actually not a bad idea okay I have a computer I have a keyboard like this at home like a super small one uh 60 percenter I put like the super silent uh switches in it so I can bring it around with me and not be a nuisance to people around me get 20 million on it nice he uh had a 2X The Joker stack with uh I saw him doing this yes he was doing instead of you know it just gets it's actually really hard to time with this it is and uh this like hurts less overall like it's way easier it would have been cool if both of them were there unfortunately one broke but uh mostly for Lane changing because a lot of Batman is a bonus and especially that double bonus on ball three you can't do much about it so filing keys for the win exactly all right we're just waiting on Johnny Mnemonic now which is on uh Jack is on it right now Jack player three yeah I want to say I saw Kyle playing for a while on it but it could be wrong you can like kind of see it it's like yeah right you're getting there you can see the you see look there you can see some of it there is for those who haven't seen there is definitely a sign on there about the band maneuver yes do you like the various signs uh yeah the signs are very the Iron Man one I wish I should try and get a picture of it yeah there's a picture my dad got a picture of Kaylee next to it so nice looks like Gerald didn't make it Gerald was not having a good day Gerald did uh let's see where is Gerald right now I'm looking on the other screen here yep yeah Gerald yeah having a rough day okay and he had a rough ruling earlier bummer oh was that the double deck that was the double DQ yeah yeah I heard about the double DQ it was uh player four played player threes ball and then player four player or player three player for his ball they swap balls and so both of them got dqed which uh is a bummer cnk redeemed Channel points for laserless to play next game with thumbs I will go tell them yeah he was in Chad earlier yeah what does Iron Man sign say uh what does it say it's like it says Kaylee if you burn out the coil you have to fix it yourself right because Kaylee is notorious for for he's he's blown up several coils in several tournaments awesome you guys are all awesome sorry I've got all the notifications turned off yeah I'll still thank people unless something cool is happening and then you will have to wait I'm afraid so Mr snailman why did player three get that cute so here's what here's what happened I will tell you I'll say you probably so so we had a yeah we're all four player games player four plate player threes ball in player three played player Four's ball and then after ball one came to me and told me that play her four had played out of turn now player three had also played out of turn to this point too without telling us without you know informing anything at this point so we all consulted together all right everyone's done I'm told nope we all consulted and decided unfortunately to uh DQ both yeah like that one Papa Classics it really sucked all right I'm gonna move over to the brackets all right while we move the camera I'm gonna find which game we're going on it's gonna be whichever is behind yeah that's all my debugging oh man that Godzilla we're gonna go to Doctor Who man okay I can get there okay if you can get there that's gonna be a wonderful game of Godzilla I don't want to give spoilers but this Godzilla is worth going out the door it is Jim belsito j Collins Kaylee George and Carl D'Angelo on a factory-ish Godzilla I am looking forward to this game it's just too good of a it's just too good of a group I'm going through the door make way [Music] through player three played an invalid ball like playing player two or player four when I was on the classic so I think the reason that it happened was because um they had already played like I'm not sure I don't know because that's what I thought as well but yeah I think situationally it made sense Fallen but I don't know the exact situation let's see what other groups we got we got uh where's my dad Dave Grant Raymond Davidson that's it all right uh Raven Davidson John dropple and Adam levkoff on roller games it's just too good of a group Carl a that's funny I don't know can you guys you guys can hear Carl I assume you can hear the the game audio yeah you guys it's funny because uh Carl can't hear me it's around the corner so I'm starting to defeated a number of times never say you need to know which player you are period yeah for sure I mean that's like this in a perfect world right but because I think it was ball one and they had already started I feel like honestly if you're in that group like you could just like with the players if because dqing like it's not good for anybody it sucks it sucks for everybody involved like if you as a group can decide like hey like let's just continue on like so be it I mean it depends how important the group is and who's in it and if everyone's okay with it but dqing is just always a bummer catacomb is the DQ game that's I'd say usually like Godzilla is right there and it's like the group is so good you know it looks good let's see I'm not sure which one of the is Mike ons though Fireball em there's a lot of DQ games bunch of rookies on this game that's what I'm saying so I actually got the pleasure to start my tournament on this wonderful Godzilla and it uh it plays wonderfully he plays so good it's everything you can ask for in a Godzilla a strong right flipper and uh there's one oh it looks great that's weird my uh score isn't there I got like I think one point something billion on it had a nice game but uh yep the flippers are strong but all the feeds are really nice the scoop isn't like perfect at bounce but it's close enough the TV's job is uh too tough it's a it's a hard job it's hard to make decisions like that as well how many more rounds do you think this will go for Usher uh my SM is four four is my best honest guest here but it could also go to five and be like an insane tiebreaker so what's your tournament stride here Carl what do you think I'll see what other people do and then uh oh come on you don't have a plan right now uh so after in the building is not always perfect uh uh like the all the way through it was good on the game I played but on the pro they do struggle with that sometimes we're a really slow shot won't register so it's been forever since I played a pro but I will um so the only main thing that changes is that building multiball gets a little harder and uh Abra gets a little stronger why do you say amber it gets a little stronger because in the building multiball the spinner is always available okay in the building multiball the Spinners are the spin is always available regardless in the premium in the premium you still gotta light your AutoBall before it's available oh you're talking about that okay okay and I don't know for me almost everything I do in that game is around building multiball like if I can if I can hit both ramps then I'm just doing it forever right like all right so but I I typically I like Everett first because you if you're solid on it you get 80 million or so but uh megalons the uh it's real fun the mega one I didn't realize until at Northwest in uh high stakes I had a 2X megalon in single ball play for like 450 million and it's just like all right I mean if you need a lot of points really fast that's definitely the way to do it you ever played this game before Carl once or twice never never right the first time so really this comes down to how did you play this earlier today what did you play this earlier today it was my very first game of the tournament so are the Rams makeable Mis yes they are they're not only are they makeable they're very makeable so it's a very tight tilt also yeah I also uh I got a five-way loop combo in my Ghidorah on the upper loop from our extra so that's also doable oh I didn't see that number you pointed out I don't know why he didn't have information over there yeah that's weird all right Jake Collins I had to play Jay I think three times today uh he actually I think now holds the record for most Whoppers he's relying on one game of pinball of all time because uh if he beat me on Deadpool he saved eight percent of Whoppers for a hundred people which if you add everything up is uh at least maybe over 100 maybe 200 Whoppers total so Luca San Diego with the Prime look at thanks for the sale nearly two years all right that's how you want to start a game right there I pick Evra or I pick uh megalon I'm not going Gigan a lot of people that's see that's weird I'm a big Gigan person Gigan isn't worth that much but it's kind of like a free one to get you to Ghidorah right because like getting to the Ghidorah is like that wild card where you can kind of get any amount of points that you need in that mode like if you need a billion you bring a 2X in there you got your at least getting a good chunk of it done true true and you know that's the one thing with megalon is that it's very hard to beat it you know it's nine shots right it's seven shots seven shots and the pop bumper can be one of them yep left ramp is it very frequently one of them yep and you know when you have a short amount of time to shoot it yeah it took me four shots for my eyebrow yeah that's not good okay so then I was about to mention that and Gigan may be the way to go maybe well and I also like Gigan on the pro because the ramps build for longer than they do on the premium because you need more shots right um I think you need to hit the building at least three times but it was funny playing this Godzilla because it has balls here so short plunging isn't always exactly what you want to do no you want to get some sort of skill shot to extend that still rippers thank you for the uh for the prime stuff tear it up girl the cameras are it's in the other room and we didn't completely plan on this today so apologies for 80 years yeah it was just too good of a too good of a group on too good of a game stutters here yeah apologies for the stutters but anyway do you like me to come to England in January I cannot tell people enough that Indus is a wonderful tournament that you should uh you should come too if you have the time and money dinosaurs that would be uh that would be good uh especially because the stream just froze so winner of Indus 2023 are you talking do you think yeah trying to who do I think it's really hard to tell because indisk is probably the hardest tournament with the green line I'd say and this is the hardest tournament in the world right now to win because you have to do well on such a wide variety of games so once again we were not really supposed to stream in this room today uh there's two rooms at this tournament there's the front row and then there's the back room we in the booth are in the back row and so we're trying to stream from the front row Carl can't stream in the front row but just hasn't bothered setting it up because it's a lot of people here I want you to try an EPC kind of crash uh I really wanted to go to EPC this year but uh it's the same weekend as Expo and with Expo also being search and finals and also being Expo it's hard for uh it's hard for me to pass up on that but I know Kaylee is going to ECP uh uh EPC this year all right so Jim even though we can't see it Jim is uh not in the mode I think his mode is lit or at least it's close yep there's his mode I wonder what he's thinking oh we're back so we didn't see any of your balls so don't worry about it oh that's better though my apologies for the uh freezing yeah I was explaining that we weren't even supposed to be in this room today so no exactly someone's gonna hit the tripod now oh yeah how's Jim looking uh he just started So megalon's Random even on uh competition mode really and you just got a secret combo there yep you know this game too well man I don't know I just know like how to you know do like Vine but you know like everything wow that's that make a long shot on the right ramp was just it lit just right right as he hit it oh that would have been he nearly oh wait what shot is it I can't see um yeah so does it go back to zero percent or zero X or one One X yeah that sucks so you kind of get like a one one chance at making it huge right unless you missed like the first one then it's okay this is like a tier one mode that really feels like a tier two mode but he just started Throwdown so I don't know if Rodan is the right choice at this moment I think no with with multiball lid on the center I think it is right okay yeah because now he's in multiball I mean I don't know a lot of people I feel like don't understand how insanely valuable the main multiball can be it can be you got to get you gotta get to that you gotta get into the third tier though and you gotta go for the wall up shot yeah the pro does this now oh so you really want a short lunch though yeah that must have been a megalon shot because he got a replay uh oh yeah megalon's on the spinner I see it's purple now that's nice because yellow was uh kind of disappeared on you a lot especially it's such a big shot man and that wasn't even the best value he let the best value get away from him yeah I think he's still a solid ball here it's all in uh yeah super 35 yeah because uh when you bring in uh Rodan into regular multiball it's more of like 4X than 2x because when you add value to the jackpot it adds the 2x value I'm pretty sure yeah so yes you can get if you get into the last stage or tier three Troopers if you bring in the 2x you can get up to probably 600 million right and if you uh yeah exactly if because every switch it builds the megalon value while he's underground yeah oh there's no lip shot yeah a big shot here oh not quite oh ouch thanks for Amazon great win sure thank you absolutely spawn man thank you I had to tell someone that your gold um Banzai run earlier on because they thought you had a bad score it was a very nice game yeah I don't think I've ever played five multiballs or four multiballs in one ball before and I go it was impressive but uh yeah I could hit the kickback shot so so everyone at home how's the audio coming through it's really loud in this room it's extremely loud so we've got this volume on the mic clumped High hopefully you're hearing us and we're not Doctor Sonic moves right behind us well I heard one that Derek price guy in his songs Canyon loud and clear yes especially the dangers yeah it's funny I saw it yeah so did have they made Cactus Canyon remakes yet though I haven't seen any yet but all right when I saw it on the game list I assumed it was but then I remember it I'm going to a a game sponsor uh tournament sponsored by Jim belsito and I'm like there's no remakes inside here it plays really nice actually it does uh I played it once in warm-up and I got like 50 million on my first ball and uh I could find the right orbit and that's the only shot that matters yeah all right Haley's stepping up Jim's kind of the only one that's done anything but you know I think Carl knows what he's doing on this game he has at least some game time I have an idea you have an idea even though you know he called like the secret combos in the did you know do you have all the secret Combos and City combos memorized not the city combos I know the secret combos mainly it's a really hard one which uh yes um the office on the world luck shot if you get that one then you're going for the other nine yes I had one in my game that uh did that but it went to the upper flipper and I hit a loop I was like oh it was nearly the secret cup but there's no there's no way you can skillfully get it no so no way I normally play a female man I just find so I don't know it just feels the game is so different even though it's very similar yeah no I 100 agree I it is very hard to explain but there is definitely a noticeable difference yeah mostly on the right side of the Playfield yeah like just like uh I don't know what's easier I'm trying to think if it's easier it's probably easier on the premium I think it's easier on the premium yeah especially if you're going from Godzilla volleyball when you're locked in the balls I find that much easier yep um it's a good seeing everyone in chat you see zmac uh everyone else thanks for all the subs and everything including you Neil for subbing to this Trail that is uh that should be that should be at its own super secret skill shot what Carl just did there the plunge of the upper flipper to flip back down the right lane is uh remarkable this gives a very much so uh a momentum based game like once you get moving you're kind of like gone the game gets easier you find that left orbit or left ramp things get easier that's nice only one danger too Carl's struggling with that level you can't move the scheme a little bit you can get away with one slide save oh yeah that was the problem I had I think after it's been playing a while that cram shot because yeah the hardest shot in the game scoop on the Fly well nailed it going on let's see hopefully let's see what his first shot is I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm guessing left ramp I'm guessing left ramp what do you think yeah let's see and then middle oh TV it's got like one second left nice okay so that's his first shot you wait see hopefully he really is hoping for a spinner right now uh oh it's on the left ramp that's the scary one yeah oh he's got like one try at this Big Shot sounds nice all right so now you kind of want to get your jet fighters going it's on the center now it's like your free one nice oh it reset its value he must not like I'm the left ramp in time that's weird but his regular multiballs lit and he has two allies lit let's see if he gets his allies first I bet he does yeah all right so now he's in like the super money he just needs to hit the center so bad oh it's a little early oh he misses left spinner nice oh you can you can hit it from both flippers okay there's the spinner nice all right now he definitely went nice oh okay it fell off but it's fine I still give it to him yeah now he gets like some free multiball time but the only thing is during this animation he can't see where his megalon shots are uh that was definitely one because he oh I guess maybe not that I don't know oh it's on the pop big shot on that pop huge huge EV nice there it is 50 speed gigantic that's what 2x playfields so but now he's in multiball with 2x Playfield and he has his uh uh green audible on the center box also the one other thing on the pro is that the attleball during the regular multiball seems to show up a lot more which is you just shoot the three like little circles on the uh Mechagodzilla on the right above the top bumper thing I told Carl before I was like I I've so rarely gotten the Ally from the five-way combo but on this one it's actually doable his Troopers a lot he did not give it to him there's his out of ball I think I think he went for his wall up there he's getting a little greedy Carl he's got to take your points man okay so he's a ball saver is done but he has another attleball on the Mechagodzilla spinner nice I'm on the button I think still as well was it Derek playing doctor who I don't know who's got old man come on Derek why are you playing multiball man let's play just play side ranch man I know you're I know you could just shoot that side around here who feels good man indeed all these Cactus Canyon's all done I don't get to hear that anymore you can actually hear the Godzilla music finally there's his Atta ball uh how many supers do you need to validate uh what's the uh the the super mode Channel now DMACC will know for sure uh whatever the first paper mode is he's definitely qualified for it now or is it points you just need one okay monster zero that's the multiball I'm thinking of yes Monster Zero all right so if Carl can just ramp out here this is where some really good points can come in oh so that's good oh not quite all right where are we at here Carl we swapping cities we getting a little greedy we going for everything what are we thinking I think he's the shoot scoop here or maybe he takes his uh the shark Trend yeah you take your distraction Monster Zero qualified one and he has the power-ups oh so that means his monster zero is like ready to go it's just Four Scoops away I always forget about it he's gonna go you just gotta go so early on this one that's the thing my dad was telling me about when he holds the Opera flipper up yeah and he can drop catch it down below gotta try that more yeah I'll use that to move out the way of the sling because yeah this thing's quite tight end so you get a nice drone nice drop to The Flipper after that oh Carl's in a really tough spot right now yeah just take just take your swamp City he was only two he had Tesla's like Tesla strike running as well as only two tanks away I mean it could be good value just bring that tank multiball in and focus on your Tesla that uh that Carnage bonus is pretty solid but you got to think we're playing yeah you don't match play though we're in match play right now but Carl can only get there in two if he goes first first so winning here is worth is worth a lot to him it has a good advantage of being the last player as well yeah all right so here's his rage one shot nice live catch all right what are we thinking Carl let's go in the oh I I kind of Hit the spinner but it actually went through the building uh uh he wanted the oh see he's nudging it to keep it oh we've got it I thought it was wonderful someone clipped that because he was nudging it so the ball would continue to move and then he gets his imposter that was wonderful and now what do you think he 2x yeah 2x in the tank yeah yeah that was wonderful very nice this guy has definitely played Godzilla one or two times before all right if he can just get at least one tank super here great oh my goodness ouch the balls were like touching the whole like whole way down that outline all right oh that's a bummer oh he got back okay he's good he's good there's a Tesla strike Texas strike can be worth good points I mean honestly in this game I don't see it mattering too much but because either Carl's gonna oh that was actually a really nice Wallop shot okay Super's lit with 2x I don't know if it's he might have lost the 3x it might only be 2x oh he's gonna get one try at this big shot all right David go for it I think it was only at like 60 million 50 million Maybe five billion Tesla strikes indeed but 30 million destruction jackpot he was money on it last time let's see where he is here a little late we got a tail whip all right Tesla strike the spinner is just not that Juiced on this one I'm afraid nice 11 million at a time I think he has one shot left on this Craig but he hasn't played his mode yet so what shot is it this is the first time this has ever happened that someone's Tesla Strike last shot is the right round that is uh as remarkable actually yeah I was telling Carl when he was thinking about either starting with ebra or uh what's the other one Megalon uh I told him in on my game I need four or five Center spinners for my eyebrow the reason I didn't Jabra is because the Spinners here are a bit yes Megan's definitely not a bad idea at all let's see if he goes earlier this time nope they made many universes where he does not need to play another one yeah and all of his value is gone all your value gone [Laughter] well at least you have Monster Zero at least like two shots away it's a little barrier yeah you're nudging to keep the ball going for your imposter that was wonderful trying not to tilt it I know you just we wanted to keep it moving and it worked it was the same part too much greed too much greed yeah I mean where did I end that I was saying you might be the first person ever in the history of Godzilla to have your final uh Power Line shot on the right ramp that's remarkable it was like look he's like wait he has one more shot like which which shot is that I didn't even think to look there so I can still pull in Bridge to get a 2X uh yeah City yep I don't know how far I am though yeah we'll see honestly your Monster Zero is pretty close like I think you have it yeah it's probably later yeah I need to just hit it twice yeah and you seem absolutely money on that wall of God yeah so I don't know what uh I ended at 60 yeah would have been 500 if you made your destruction yeah and I was gonna I was gonna leave the city right then too yeah oh you haven't left the city yet no I had a 4X I would have 4X Carnage oh my goodness if I left that's why you were playing Power I thought you were at all I know 3X 3X Carnage yeah I mean that's especially with how much your megalon was I was a good amount of points oh that's a bummer then yeah yeah it took it took some time Carl is 460. Jim stays in Tokyo I was kind of surprised I shouldn't be so loud well with tank lit I would you know I think it's solid because it gives you 2x right when you come out of tank you can get that 2x right away yeah I guess that's true but also man just going for Ghidorah is good as well like get to that tier two mode true but there's a lot of risk involved in those a lot more than the multiballs here yeah that's true there's so much risk and rewards in this game and that's what makes it great that's what makes it great that's still my least favorite keep that one game but that's not it's still in my top 10 games ever made so what's your favorite keep going game uh Jurassic Park yeah so Jim's doing his jet fighters at the same time uh for your his extra ball right or is this his first that there's no way this is his first jet fighter right there's no way let's see it'll stay on there it will uh oh no it is his first one yeah that is uh that's insane that he's done that far especially on normal I haven't played a factory Godzilla in so long in the tournament all right I guess it's still on tournament mode but you know not like cough cough is Jermaine making setting everything to hard including Bridge like I get making main multiball all right you know this is for this is a direct that user man I get making like the main multiball harder but you didn't you don't gotta make Bridge harder you have to hit like seven Bridge shots uh the first Bridge isn't too bad if you have a nice spinner you can get the single spin to get yeah but it's like four it's only four well for the first one for the first one yeah and he said it he said it to hard so it was like six or whatever all right Jim's gonna get 2x on his uh Carnage all right let's see what it is oh he has 2x Playfield as well that doesn't matter for Carnage no that's boring so not too much C30 30 mil this is my that's why you got to keep shooting your tank shots after you're done yeah even if the uh the value is low but he's not looking for that he's just looking yeah yeah that was a beautiful save there's a bummer he tilted on that so uh you're in good you're in the outside you're in a lot better uh condition now his gym was yeah what's going on your tail I would agree but uh both Jay and Kaylee know how to play this game quite well I uh I don't actually know the difference between all the cities I just picked well they're listed on the screen now so you don't have to worry about it oh yeah we haven't played this in a while have you no I don't live at home anymore that's right that's my Godzilla isn't there and the one that is that location nearby doesn't play very well in Mr Pro so it sounds fun okay but I do play it sometimes at uh George's George's house but I don't he hasn't had it for a while that's how you dreams not exact angles it's a brick close to it yeah yeah I'm surprised you hit your first one but missed the second two usually the first one's the the hard one but it was way earlier than I thought it was too yeah I hit the the post and they vary so much based on how that ball falls off the magnets yeah every every Godzilla is so different for the most important shot in the game sometimes all right Haley's just looking for points right here when you're in the 50s and 70 is like where you need to be you're looking just to not get last right now like that's like the main goal once you don't get last and you start worried about other stuff the reason he had such a good game is be well take his headset off nice I'd say that when you get that first left ramp and it comes in lane and you're shooting the scoop and if you make that shot you're gonna have a good game again exactly that is the most important shot of the game like and you nailed it and you had a good game and you still have a ball to play uh uh when you're chasing like 16 million as your first point not a bad idea true I feel like I still pick eyebrow though in this situation right I don't know okay so he's already prod J I think now he's definitely caught Jay now he's after gym all right big shot nice wow one more and he's gone yep that'll be a 20 mil shot right there that's very nice beautiful plus the 20 mil for the finishing bonus that was excellent man that is uh the best you can do I don't know he didn't miss a shot 81 million yeah I think I used to get more than 81 million to do that it's so hard it would have been a nice Rodan yeah but but at the same time you don't want to pull Road in in the middle when you light it but yeah that's the hardest part of the guy again oh so he also went late there all right he doesn't want to tell he wants to you should really focus on getting yourself dead Fighters they're timing out soon oh he's got plenty of time yep so what's he do which allies you mean well no once again is he gonna leave the city at this point yeah for sure and he's gonna pick a Rodan and and that was a crazy backhand that was he blew the live catch and he backhanded the left spinner into the magnet into the final jet fighter shot yeah earned him some Godzilla power up oh man I missed the bug where you could get like 500 million in jet fighters good job Carl thank you you're in Striking Distance and with that Carl goes to he's in oh I they can't see you but it's okay he's right here I'm here yep I'm the voice of God you're still playing are you are you involved no I've kind of just walked like I'm playing like a guy he just randomly walked off the street today it's hard you gotta travel so much further than everyone else I could blame the jet lag but I choose notes I just know I had a great day I had a couple of good games a good game on Paragon which is not normally a game I do well on this venue's just amazing yeah no it's wonderful great why are we it's why we came back yeah I mean I saw it last year on streaming so I really want to come here and it just so happens yep and you are warming up on at least one or two in this game exactly you have no idea which ones but at least one of the games here will be in indisk it's funny like playing uh a couple of the games where it's like man this is the maiden from indisk like I remember this yeah I remember how fast it played or it's the what was the other one that I was thinking that Atlanta Atlantis yeah I never played Atlantis a single time in that index yeah I didn't I kind of remember to kind of ask me through what to do and actually one I think I won that round yeah yeah so all right what are we waiting on let me get the bracket we I think that was the last game yep that was the last game yep that was the last one okay can you bring my mystery castle back next year I got bad news for you man I don't think it's coming back it's not even here I was actually kind of hoping that it was gonna be here because there's only one time you get to play a mystery castle that actually plays pretty good and that's in California yeah that was a great game that was a that's how I discovered Mystery Castle was actually here last year at pinball at the lab it was here and uh did you did you pick one in the finals were you picking that uh last year yeah no did you pick Mystery Castle or was that Raymond Raymond picked mystery castle uh let's do paragon yep it's almost the same group again except instead of uh instead of Jay it is Derek but uh yeah it was here and Raymond picked it in the last round because we were all out of picks and uh Jim gave us the explanation and we played it I'm like wow this actually plays pretty good but I thought it played beautiful I tried to buy one there's a guy who's got one in the UK yeah and he just wouldn't sell it unfortunately but I did pick up a diamond lady which I also thought was a yeah not not as good as Mystery Castle but are you looking to buy a joust by a chance a Jost no that's what one game I don't need uh because I know a guy selling one so but I was I was trying to get a few of those games those kind of weird games for we got the UK open next weekend oh yeah uh Arvid was trying to convince me to go yeah I got school yeah no no it's a long long time it's a very long I've only been to the UK once ever though so well we'll be even bigger and better next year so yeah I'll try and make it out no I mean I'm already doing the Europe trip next year for for uh yeah if uh someone in Chad said that EPC and IFA might be back to back they are they are I don't know if I'm up for that that's a lot of pinball one of them's at Freddy's the other one I think is that um yeah um and Freddie I mean Freddy is a great place Builders just iconic I've got to run uh enjoy yeah take it easy I need it foreign I don't know which one it is I think it's that one I mean I muted you yeah all right I muted oh Carl's torn up the Stream uh uh nope not yet what do you think about Gigan rodent is that you'll score more by taking uh Rodan Midway through the keeping the full comic guard that is true that the final combo is or the final shot is really where the points are at so two World Championships back to back sounds painful it's not really two World Championships but uh it's too uh two majors but there has been a back-to-back uh World Championships before at uh if as we called it uh it was a papa that immediately followed up into an ifpa and uh anyone that was there can tell you that it was not that good of another experience just like I played probably a best of like 65 with Andrew Rosa because neither of us were in ifpa at that point so we were just going around the papa facility plan games for fun we probably played Dragon like 11 times and we were keeping track the whole time of our win loss yeah uh so we'll see how uh EPC and if Diego Go but looking forward to I really want to go to an EPC I've never been uh and uh I'm very I always love meeting all the people from Europe and uh at tournaments because we just don't see them here in North America very much and there's a lot of great players especially uh in Florida uh just because I like covid even now it's still hard to travel and uh so but it was really cool meeting uh all the all the people that have uh gotten to the top of their uh their countries during covet I think the highlight of people I didn't know about until if uh ifba was uh Marcus from Finland he was a pleasure to watch I've lost chat so I don't know what you guys are saying I think I can nope I don't want to mess with Carl's stuff I'll see you guys in a second but uh all right so if Jim gets second or better he's done if Carl wins he's done and if uh Kaylee or Derek get third then they are in Striking Distance so let's see let me have a look what everything else that is going on right now is anyone free yet no one else has made it but I like the chances of Jim or Carl joining me in the booth after this I kind of hope Carl wins because it's fun to sit in the booth with him be good nope so I'm I'm sure everyone in chat is also cheering for Carl it's very easy especially when he's you know a tournament director and running the Stream so it's very uh it's always good to see him play well all right I can see Chad again is that Escher on the commentary but if yes this is uh Escher lefkoff at uh at the game lab in Riverside California wonderful tournament thank you for Carl of course for running the booth and tding as well as all the wonderful CDs here love this tournament it's definitely in my roster of every year definitely want to make it out for this Ray fighting for his life on escher's favorite game you say Ash's favorite game so makes me think that he's on uh what's it called uh El Dorado city of gold they're just watching my CDC tutorial today thanks man I made that tutorial a while ago but it still holds up it's still a good go-to Strat on that game I really want to make more videos about stuff I actually have one that I'm working on right now that's a little less useful but I'm really busy with college now so it's hard to get get stuff going watching Carl inspired you to play competitive pinball that's wonderful to hear truly it's great to uh it's great to hear streaming Paragon working on it there seems to be some issues with the rig two sadly clashes with Expo this year that is true I really wanted to go to EPC this year but uh I just can't give up Expo in circuit finals especially with school like going to Europe is really hard so what does everyone think of James Bond uh I haven't I kind of want to see gameplay first I want to see gameplay and I want to play it myself but uh it looks good some cool stuff on it did you ever do it Guardians of the Galaxy uh uh I think so I I know I wrote a tutorial for it but I think the bomb players look beautiful the kind of armor should have been custom made instead of mooch movie posters yeah see personally I don't care about art or theme I'm just more of like the actual like game so how many final slots there are there are 16 and no Buys so 116 slots fill up everyone else is done I think there's a B division though so he's opening the box of streaming supplies that's not a good sign Paragon upper flipper is a bit weak fair enough yeah eight next eight going to be yep Captain the college pinball team I'm afraid I am not but I am on my uh college team uh Counter-Strike Global Offensive team and I'm missing her first match to be here we're playing against the California school as well so they're playing on Sunday at like 1am so how do you know are you stage slipping or know you're half flipping uh it's stage living is really hard it's uh it's very different for everybody um you just gotta find what works for you go out on location and play a bunch of different games at all stage differently and just find a strategy that like works for you what do you think about the bond layout uh I've like saw it for like 30 seconds I can't really picture in my head but again it looks promising uh I think it's Gomez I think was the designer and I liked I like a lot of his games so what's my CS go rank I am Pace at level seven and Global currently so I love me some Counter-Strike that's my uh go-to video game of the uh the current Lani on code is a little concerning you know I believe in Lonnie we'll see I have to learn it before Expo because there's gonna be four of them there so I'm gonna do two flipper put one flipper into it and use the second one the top flipping for the record I can't do it on the Fly that way that is a good way I know exactly the way that you're that's a good way of explaining it but um again a lot of the time you just gotta do it on the fly so how's it going Dave John's Croatia great to hear I'm not sure how the pinball scene is out in Croatia but uh hope there's at least somewhere you can go and play are you believe in Lonnie especially with vinacore I agree my favorite game uh outside of pinball uh it's probably Counter-Strike right now I've been really having a lot of fun getting into it with my college team and like learning how to be competitive with it and playing a team game like that so you prefer Valentine Batista is good too I like Valerian as well because their rank system is really good but the game mechanics just don't feel good for me and I haven't gotten a lot of time I only have like 30 or 40 hours in the game so what do you think of the Esports scene uh I assume you mean for Counter-Strike I love the eSource team for Counter-Strike even though North America is terrible my favorite uh my favorite count on strike team is phased right now because I like twists he's one of my favorite players but uh yeah Splatoon 3 is amazing nice you put some purple and then slowly put on until I found it and then it's just locked in uh that's exactly how I do it as well Zach is that I kind of just I have to do it once and uh yeah yeah phase up yeah phase up yeah I I really don't like phase as an organization except for their Counter-Strike team because I love all five of those players I love them all I wish the best for them so looks like uh we have not started on Paragon yet by the way you're a big fan thanks Mom appreciate it adios time in the 90s these days people forgot that their most cool start to ah it's a bummer to hear and then yeah a lot of places uh there's not a lot of pinball oh God that's a super smash training I looked like a lot of fun that's the uh the other thing I've been getting into I started learning how to play Super Smash Bros melee the the really old one for the GameCube it's been uh yeah parallel keeps climbing higher and higher indeed been trying to get back into Guitar Hero and rock band it's been years since I last play it uh I heard uh clone hero is actually wonderful like being able to just like play any song that's been mapped by anyone that has like rank leaderboards and it's easy to download and you can play on your keyboard like you don't need a an entire Guitar Hero guitar like that's that's good to hear you've been playing on CRT I actually do have a CRT in my dorm room that I've been playing on I don't have a uh I've just been running the game through my laptop into the CRT so it doesn't really matter but I'm looking into getting a GameCube now this is so expensive this is great that you guys have pinball tournaments yeah it's uh it's a wonderful hobby I'm so glad to be doing it yeah we're still waiting Carl is standing on various chairs you play Trombone champ I've heard I've been told many times to give it a try I might have to give it a try tell Keith to put his crtm his nightstand that's funny how are we looking oh it looks like we've started on paragon uh player threes Kaylee Wayne's gonna watch this so we can see a little bit what's going on guitar Heroes controls of the USB adapter yep I think that's the best way of doing it Revenge from CRT so it looks like player one is Jim he's done at about 11 000. I can't I can't tell if Carl's done at 4 000 or 40 000 but Kaylee's also done at about fifteen thousand George actually put a senior tea into Revenge he is the goat you have I say both uh pinball 2000s have CRTs in them because I'm young enough I can still hear the uh the CRT noise you're muted yep uh it's the I believe it third one yeah I'm now unmuted yes you are nope yep [Music] are you at forty thousand or four thousand Carl yep he's still working on it so yeah I owe me on New Year yep there you go hey how's it going there we go all right Asher how you been good a little bit there thank you that's good yeah I was a little poppy in my own ear I have a lot of voices we've learned today how you doing today not good not good not good yeah you know not not uh not like you were doing oh it's working Carl it looks good we have a cam of the chair yep I'm afraid we're having the back of Jim yeah who just drained another chair and now Carl is up at a whopping 4 500. Jim is now being called on everyone's favorite game grand slam it looks like I like that game so I uh to not play it I can take credit that uh yesterday as we were setting games up I made the suggestion of taking out the right gate I heard uh Richie Terry decided to get a few too many home runs it was it was bad it was it was like he just sat there and tap passed over and over and over again and I said let's take the right gate out yeah which uh a lot of people are now mad at me about but you know unbiased of course because I will hopefully go through this I can almost guarantee that I will not play it an entire any single time this tournament it's pretty close yeah yeah it's only if someone else in my group picks it if I yeah if I defer yep so it's honestly it's a fun game without the gate and that was why we made the call yeah it's like um it's like Robo War yeah it just became too yeah solved like oh I'm just gonna tap yeah shoot tap and shoot on the left you know you got to make a decision if you're hitting the slam the grant what's it say in the center Homer Homer says yep the Homer targets are if you go most people were just well we were practicing where we were trying to dial in the games yesterday we can see what Carl's doing on his phone oh I don't know what he's doing but we can't see the game anyways well we can see um we can see half of the game I think he's waiting for the person next to him on uh oh so he doesn't interrupt him yep yep but yeah I actually really liked Grand Slam I I wish I got to play it today um I'm glad I didn't have to I got to play good games like Iron Maiden yeah you got to play all the games I didn't get to play today my list today here let's compare lists today yeah how about we do that yeah we'll compare lists today so uh Esther's games do your games let's see so I started today on Godzilla what did you start today on uh I gotta find myself first way down here halfway through the field all right so I started on uh Robo War okay that's not terrible that's not great I got a second on Robo War that's where we started you know uh then I played Johnny Mnemonic what'd you play I played Atlantis okay that's that's pretty bad but you won but I want it uh then I played Bonsai which went very well Bonsai so much uh I played Street Fighter 2 which I lost horribly on okay you know it's all right you have a decent start still you want your second first uh then I played Doctor Who I was on class of 1812. that sucks which I won though that's yeah fair enough I won that because I can do the hold on I'm gonna pull the mic away so I don't mess everybody up yeah that's right they can hear it every they can hear it on the game so I can do the I can do the chicken yeah 1812 Overture so then I played Iron Maiden I played Johnny Mnemonic okay there you go you got a modern oh I think we're starting here on Baragon oh he's moving in there all right let's go quick all right I played John mnemonic and then I played uh Black Knight I played Lady Luck yeah I played Lady Luck as well the round after and then yeah twister and then I got El Dorado I had El Dorado as well I hate that game yeah all right girls Bonsai twister Bonsai again and Iron Man Bonsai is Iron Man twister I've not played a single modern so if you right now had the choice that you could oh my dad looks like my dad won right now he had the choice that you would forever only be able to get it in the cliffs or the Paragon side which one are you choosing for the rest of your life it'll only ever go in that scoop when you Plunge so tough um I think it's the cliffs I think I think that eventually you get more from The Cliffs if that were every single time let's see what the chat says what do you guys think also Carl uh there's not really anything else going on this game right now so Carl getting 5x would be huge and I would say almost guarantees that he is not uh he's out of this tournament like they're good kind of out like the the free from the free from Pain and uh far away from where I'm at 25 000 right now on that Mr snail man I am I am glad your your dog enjoyed the uh dmac well lock it in his Cliffs oh he's got it I think I agree I think Clips is definitely the winner I really think that is it like but it's the parents letters are only guaranteeing the plunge right yeah and the Paragon letters is a random element sometimes like on this one it's in order oh is it yeah oh I didn't know I've not played this today I haven't played this I didn't even play yesterday we were setting up games yesterday I did not even touch this game no chances to get the top going for the letters and a rebound I really think on these videos were designed to wear up safe shots yep it gets a tough roll over again yeah yeah you gotta see here I'll ask Carl no no I'm just asking if you had to pick that every time you plunge on Paragon for the rest of your life you had to pick does it go in the right or the left you say Clips yeah okay all right I think we're a unanimous I think this is for you answer this is Cliffs yeah but I I don't hate your opinion if you say Paragon letters I mean there's it almost depends on who you're playing against where you think you are there's a whole lot of other elements to it yeah so Kaylee also grinding here really wants to not get last like that because if he gets last he's still two games away from getting out yep but if he gets third or you know preferably for him better than third he can be free much sooner yep or at least have the chance to be so where are we at no one is gonna get in this game right uh Jim and Carl can both go through here sorry if Carl wins and Jim gets second then both of them are out like they're free but those are the only two that can do it gotcha so my dad is also in Striking Distance now sitting at 63. and he did really well against me did he I thought uh I thought he uh I thought he had a bad game against me oh against you oh yeah no everybody else maybe not yeah he didn't even win a game on that he had a great score I had an okay score the other two players had great scores was what it really in my opinion in your opinion yeah I would say because like I'm at Cactus Canyon it played so good when you could just shoot that right over really well I just did not you didn't come together yeah I didn't I didn't oh the insert sucks there oh I wasn't even that was so hard to read yeah all right all right last ball best ball no one is locked in their 20. uh let's see Jim this is I mean Carl's got a pretty Carl's got a good lead here he didn't quite lock in this 20 but he's at least I mean Carl needs to win though win or get second the second also guarantees him next rounds because the next round he's 100 in if he gets second here yep so Carl's feeling good right now um I mean even if you look at it Jam Even in last place still is at 67 only needs three points he only needs a third he really wanted Jim really wants to get out right now absolutely all right oh so he's going he's going multipliers oh yeah he already had a good spinner shot oh my goodness once you get that spinner shot multipliers are definitely the place he's just going for it oh that was scary let's see if he all right let's see this is one of those games that split flipper just uh my brain cannot get around where I drain I yeah I did see that 3x Cliffs collect I didn't know what happened just hit the scoop or did it did it like actually just like jump back in I didn't see it oh there's another beautiful tapass oh a little early a little early on the shot but the tap pass itself was nice that's easy to roll down to that second flipper you gotta you gotta be super critical of everything yeah oh there's his Clips oh he's got his Clips it's up to 12K as well oh come on another Cliffs right here oh it bounced down so locking in this 20 doesn't really do him any good right now because he's on ball three oh that's in our Cliffs that's the cliffs yep see that's that's the cliffs paying off right there upper flipper so he'll drop it yeah it's it's a great shot because it's like the moment the ball touches the bottom flipper is when you flip yeah it's the same shot on every Paragon even it is it absolutely there's there's the money there it is nice okay so that's great now ahead of uh no he's pretty far ahead of Carlton oh cause a bonus yeah but Carl's still got a ball left yeah he does but again Carl has no progress he did not lock in 20 so he does not have a guaranteed bonus yeah he doesn't have anything guaranteed so he's got to build bonus and hit drops yep he also I saw Jim go for the up the spin that was the upper flipper twice but it kind of like screwed him there is gonna get out now like I think he's free 200 oh no more than two 220 220. Carl needs to get his 5X that's like the main thing that Carl's looking for right so if anybody's questioning what we're talking about is here is that he is not locked in the bonus multiplier in terms of the uh the carrier is it going all right so Carl is still oh that was a good save all right all right so oh he passed over that was a beautiful tap pass that was dangerous that was yeah 100 lost the ball on that one Carl's Brave oh he blew that oh he's not even gonna that's not that's that's I'm not gonna pull it out but uh yeah for anybody who's like yeah nobody saw a car we would have lost on that nobody would have thought no one saw it yeah if Carl gets second here he's still in great shape because uh he still he can just not play his next game yeah his next game does not matter at that point yes unlike some people who still played their last game it actually does matter because uh oh and Kaylee scissors himself that's rough I can't even see his score but I'm assuming there's no one in front of that yeah or it could be 66. no it's a it is 66. it is but even still it is not gonna come up to these so it's down to Derek now Derek great player could absolutely hit these scores like yep that's funny uh T walrus and China was that an Escher shirt uh every my entire online presence being Stevo pup is actually from that shirt that Kaylee gave to me when I was like nine what so the the shirt that Kaylee is wearing right now the Stevo shirts from Champion Pub oh um uh he gave me that shirt at a Northwest when I was like 10 or 9 or 10 years old so about three years ago yeah oh goodness no okay I'm getting old man Matt that does not sound like you've been around I've I've been around a long time I've been around long enough to uh Oh Derek oh no he tilted he tilted tilted a point there we go I did that earlier what's what's so uh so Kaylee is now in Striking Distance Carl is guaranteed to go through but it still matters what happens because if Carl gets last someone that also gets out we'll have somebody else with 69 points yeah and so that's he's going to be Swiss up with well and he wants to drive his group right yeah he wants to be top four still matters a lot because in the first round you get to pick the games so if you're in the top four one two three four only me and Jim are done yeah I'm Topsy Jim is second seed and so that seeds up for what game do you think you might choose oh I can tell you let me let me pick let me know let me guess I'm not gonna by the way this is Amy I just joined the stream yeah I'm just uh we're all over here a little over here somewhere I don't even know where I am I don't think I'm on the picture yeah oh no if I bend really far over no no you're cool all the way over here um so if I were to pick this is Matt uh you will know me as tequila guy on uh several several of the IE pinball streams yeah tequila guy tonight as well because I've hit that guy um so my prediction uh if I'm Asher so the one other thing you have to remember is in this tournament if it's the same as last year it is three two one zero scoring and you have to play four games yep which means if I'm playing all the rounds that means I have to pick 12 games you do which means not picking okay let's go through here what I think obvious choice is going to be Godzilla okay uh uh modern Stern Godzilla Maiden I only play Monster I have not no name yet I've not played one either uh Godzilla Maiden yes uh Black Knight nope no that's fair that's fair fine don't do it okay pretend I didn't say that Deadpool nope really I'm not a huge Deadpool guy do you like Atlantis I had a good game it's not like Atlanta season no why I had a great game yeah are you gonna go with like an Iron Man I wouldn't have thought so Metallica but Metallica's not in is it it is oh no it's not yeah I would say I wish Metallica was here because I love Metallica uh uh what other games do I like here I mean I like Cactus Canyon Cactus Canyon was fun I lost to your dad yep all right good job Carl nope there's Carl I'm in the picture qualified um are you gonna are you gonna skip your next game and just not be a top qualifier I'm gonna play it they're still seriously it still matters absolutely play because you really want to be the third seed pinball has formed me into a great Doodlebug player because there's a Doodlebug there and people pick it against me every single tournament they get the chance I love Doodlebugs and you know what and the one at Lions I can plunge directly in the scoop directly in the scoop after one switch or two switches like every time which means I can almost guarantee myself 25 000 in every game from skill shouting and then the game's like actually pretty fun I'm a fan I'm a fan of The Doodlebug uh Doctor Who of course is one of my favorites oh so are you uh obviously a Looper yes just Looper and over and over again I uh the story I always say is uh I was uh 10 years old at a papa World Championships with uh Jason zoller Gregory Kennedy and uh uh Timothy Street okay uh all people that are still Gregory played wonderful at Glee pen I hadn't seen his name in years and I saw him put up like two billion on Walking Dead like some great scores I'm like he's still got it I was like I was so cool seeing him on uh on the stream but uh they everyone had to learn they put a doctor who in the kids bank that like was the easiest looping ever and I was good for one or two to three billion on it like everything you hit about 100 plus Loops uh Jason zoller who was like nine or eight at the time who's of course one of the best players in the world right now um was also good at hitting Loops so like I played them both rounds on that and both games we were well into the billions yeah and uh yeah that was uh the most boring Banco games because it was also um Stern Pirates of the Caribbean where you could backhand the left ramp and that was miserable all right all right and brought a vimlock they're all very interesting games to play Carla what do you think your picks will be without giving it too much away what would your picks be for tomorrow I honestly don't know right now okay all right I haven't thought about it I'm just trying to make it through the day you have yeah you've had a rough day and not playing wise you you've played well but just running this wise I'm gonna I'm gonna on the stream I've already done it live but I'm gonna on the stream again thank you for everything you've done for this because you have made an incredible tournament that everyone is enjoying at the same time this really my involvement I feel is very little in this I bring the software I bring the stream but Jim Jim and Jay so Jim and Jay dongmir there is a balance there is a if it's a uh uh a tripod in the sense of if any one of you were not doing this stuff it would all fall apart yeah and that's that's what I'm trying to say is is had you not done what you did today and you went through a horrible day in terms of of stuff going wrong so anyone in the chat I came here this morning with my primary streaming machine and tried to power it up and it would not power up so I've lost the computer I had to run home grab my other box and and bring it here lost you know a good hour of time for setup it's just been a whirlwind of a day he did so as I showed up Carl was running back to his car to run home to get a new computer um then so we have a project pinball tournament going on which is amazing it's so much fun that Carl put together of uh Ninja flip so if you've ever played any of the uh Ninja Fruit games where you're you know swiping your hands around in VR that is what's set up for uh Batman Dark Knight which is set up that you have to actually move your hands in front of the flippers you can't actually push a flipper button you have to move your hands around in a certain area to make the flipper slip and it broke before the day started uh uh but we figured it out had one of the two sensors still working so yes one of the central store and everybody's having a blast with that I will say like everyone is having so much fun I wish I had more questions I have to go to the bar and break a five to go put the yeah that's the hardest part of that let's find him once I was gonna say I brought a bunch of ones but they're locked up right now the bar has all the money yeah of that yes yeah yeah I played it while we were setting it up yesterday and I played it while we were setting up this morning but I have not played it officially yet but I did have a blast playing it now uh junior says Lindsay but there's really none there's none it doesn't matter finding where the beam is it is so I was I found you can even I trapped up so I got to a point where if you just hold your hand there you can actually trap up yeah you can you can then like aim a shot there's different strategies to it because also it's a hype thing not just an in and out thing which is there was one point where I was playing with it of holding my hand up 20 inches above to not flip and then bringing my hand down almost like I was mashing a center button from 20 inches above yep to play it there's so many ways so uh this is uh Ester left golf on Mike joined with Carl of course and with uh was that your name you forget my name again I didn't forget your name I'm letting you introduce you Matt robot him mad robot him also known as uh tequila guy apparently which is several people have come up to me because of our Godzilla tournament the on tilt uh heads up uh I uh apparently got a a reputation there all right we're just waiting for the last score to be input on Johnny Mnemonic they are done we're just waiting and then our next round we should uh we should watch so is it one two three four five six seven eight yeah okay let's not watch your group I'm afraid Carl no I would not think so unless the other group isn't but it also depends on the game because I'm not pulling it in there uh one of my cables up here has a short that's why we were having so many problems do we want to pick something where somebody could middle of the ground where somebody could move up group two or drastically we gotta be in the top three groups right now sure because everyone else I'm afraid is kind of out so if you scroll down to uh the 23s area at least there's a good chance that someone that is the 24th right now chain chains group that's all right that was me clicking yeah all right starting the round uh round is uh should be up I just need to find which game I'm going to before the crowd of people uh okay well I have to leave as well because uh uh I have to go actually play World Cup soccer right now uh it's not gonna go well I love me some dog soccer but uh uh I'm being asked what other people are on so you are on all right I'm gonna go play some dog soccer and then I will be back Esther should be back here any minute to walk you guys through the next group so thanks everybody for tuning in 1006 nothing sticks right this is the 10th Zone I was giving it like a yeah yeah every one is three but you agree every wall it will start in order yeah because this will move it does it re does this move it yeah bump out of the right yeah you're always shooting greens seriously yeah all right we're almost up and running here thanks for your patience everyone let me get the players up we'll be watching El Dorado city of gold and I have a line on my that is weird great I hope that's not my camera that did that hi Carl I'm getting there hold on gotta give me time and then I got to play my game yep and I'm up first I think good luck sir even though it doesn't really matter all right we are on my favorite game and my favorite game I mean one of my least favorite games of all time so everybody here if they win the game will guaranteed qualify for finals second place has a very good chance as well Frozen are we Frozen oh we are frozen I'm sorry guys you might have to miss us first of all oh he knows about Frozen cam okay so uh unbiased commentary of course um I have uh I played against everyone except for Adam levkoff in this group I played against Nick's Donna play against Carlos I played against Jay so I can see the chat is uh I know who the chat's going for right now Oh wait we're back it just fixed itself Sanjay standing next to it as fixed the camera nice oh all right so I told him the alley pass here that also works I don't know really why he did that let's see don't do not feel bad that's the main thing is that that upper right shot is this area on the Playfield is by far the most dangerous part of the game and it's not even close oh okay so in this game oh okay that's actually not a bad start you got a decent bonus um how do you play this game green targets right here you get them all down you get a bonus multiplier every single Lane on the waterfall and every single flashing uh Target is a bonus It's a combination of both if you get all bonus multipliers you don't really get that much bonus because you've been focused on it too much for your phone focus on bonus you know those drop targets get scary to survive so a good score on this is somewhere around 500k I'd say one like good solid 3x ball next time stepping up the camera fixed itself miraculously it just started working again it's on the way this is the furthest game in the room um tomorrow will be better there'll be fewer people in here yep today's obviously challenge always a challenge always my umbrella doesn't really uh like it's way too high to go between rooms I had to pull it up what's the umbrella the umbrella is to block the overhead lights so there's a little bit right here oh I see that and also a little bit uh the left-hand side is my rig light I think it's just not far enough away I see if I'm in a rush right now so uh this Gill shot is like so hard and what's it gives you Five Points and a lot of bonus yeah um you don't honestly you don't even really oh that's an unfortunate drink you I don't think you can ever plunge the flashing one I saw Kaylee do the absolute most perfect lunch and it just rattled out I saw one I saw one person do it today one time intentionally intentionally yeah the one that I nearly got was the it felt just barely short but even if you miss it and it kills you oh that's that's scary the one that works is the Bounce It bounces over here and then back end that you can't you can't get it Direct oh this is trouble I save D now there is a center post that you it's actually a solid Center Post like it has a rubber yeah yeah exactly sorry about that um uh Kaylee got a Lazarus in our game with the Center Post so oh he's one target away from the money he doesn't have a ton of bonus though no he he didn't know about it the first time and then trusted it the second time and that's uh that's when it gets carried how's that nitrogen going for you you having fun uh no how do you use your War Factor yet I did bummer I got 450. oh okay so you still you probably got a point yeah oh well I get a point regardless of right yeah well yeah all right low stepping up Carlos oh that's the really oh goodness so this looks like first place is a is qualified except for Jay actually he still qualifies because if you get it into two here you're still good yes uh looks a lot like Target Alpha yes it is actually exactly like Target Alpha it's just a little different rules and you know solid state the drops will actually reset on this when you get them down unlike the uh yeah oh that looks good oh look at that oh and it bounced out though okay he still got his skill shot though which is really good value how many points do you get out of that 40 like 40 45 000 okay and on this game that's not terrible but you know you really really wanted to come down this way because you got another bonus there and this is if you survive it it's scary but you got a ball and flipper if you do if you survive it exactly that's isn't that pinball so all right this is a this is a very important ball for both player three and four you can really get your foot in the door but uh man this skill shot is so hard I took better to do the harder plunge and try and get it on this flipper to Ricochet and uh that was a very unfortunate drink all right are you up I didn't even see what happened because Carl was drawing and it blocked the black the ball all right a little hard almost got a flip on that upper flipper oh once again this seems pretty so this feed on the uh what's it called uh El Dorado I'm used to playing the left pop bumper like this feed is really nasty but on this one it's been pretty friendly like it's not been uh it's not been dead like the right side has been only two Targets from a bonus X but he doesn't hasn't progressed any of his bones oh we tilted oh my goodness 42 000 43 000 44 000. that is a remarkable but uh this game you can once you get your 3x then it just starts rolling in because every lane is 30 000. you just gotta survive those green targets oh my goodness that uh that drain was remarkable I was I I mean I don't know what you do against that but there is still technically universe that Carlos gets a point there does this game always put pressure on you sometimes but yeah I think these people are playing for their lives right now they're so close they're so close to being like free and they can go home and sleep early and you know all the stress goes away oh just don't tell that's the main thing that if you're Adam right now you just don't want to tilt like the uh oh that was really close he has more bonus than all of his opponents that have in sport including Carlos so there's another 10 000 there this is the scary one nice all right three targets away from 90 000 more points should say Adam's got this you know you could say that but at the same time this game it's really easy to get 300 000 on the ball but uh that's all I saw a game from Adam I feel like and then especially when you're looking at other people's scores here I mean 250 000 is all all you could ask for especially he's guaranteed a point Carlos has a chance for a point but the only the only real out is if any of these people miss their skill shot and it doesn't even need to go on the flashing one they just need to go on any of the three top Lanes we'll guarantee that they're ahead who is this atom guy yeah I've never played with him before never played with them seems like a nice guy uh my dad has had a pretty remarkable run for all the people that don't get the joke yeah Adam is my dad for all the people that don't don't know my last name so uh he likes Green Barbecue yes he does so I think sign is guaranteed ahead of later loss unless he dealt and then 250. you're a 250 thousand 245. all right next time gets the points but does not pass Adam coming down to Jay Collins and Jay get into this tournament on the last ball I mean when you're in this position you're really just playing for one point at a time you want to make sure you hit the skill shot you can see he's going so slow he just oh he misses it all right there's the one bonus advance another drop okay ball and flipper as long as he doesn't tilt he is ahead of loss oh it's uh Adam levkoff advances to the finals Jake Collins getting uh third Carlos getting last and next time getting second I wonder if you could shots to Max of Base bonus so I actually tried this on my game I had one out of I think eight shots that uh bounced up the uh the left inland my dad won he won his last five games in a row to get here so he's qualified then yes he is so he can uh take a look at the brackets which is in the bracket but we can go to current round and uh did you qualify for him I've got 1.4 right now or 1.3 or something right as long as you don't DQ yourself I'm just doing warp warp factor I love I love playing the game like that it's so much fun it's boring to me to be honest really I'm outside I'm not a Star Trek Next Gen fan whatsoever yeah me neither I don't like the game no you don't like shooting the Cannons back and forth that Cannon I had a ball in the it actually airballed into the right Cannon I shot the uh something and it just barely like limped out it was pretty sad all right there's gonna be a left cop party yes left cop booth good job good job Dad I've never known what this felt like so there's gonna be another round and I don't have to play you don't have to play it right oh my God that's never happened before I'm always the last you know the last group for the last position hey how about two skill shots I know you got two skill shots in a row on all though I assume that was good yes that's a that's a crazy game of Street Fighter 2 right there oh my goodness 100 000. oh we were just I was just talking to Ray because he built snake bit but it was like oh it's turning around I guess it all evens out but not fair I guess not there but he's still in Striking Distance now Mike's a little a little hot there Carl well yours is uh not quite enough you need to pull in I can turn your volume down yeah on your headset but if you want to pull in more but it's hard with the masks yeah they start to scratch on it yeah so okay there we go how'd uh Carl's in good shape I think he's gonna qualify who else uh who else in your group is looking good is Kayla up here yeah Nancy's Nancy is just killing it today I know I didn't play with her uh I don't even know who she is she's from San Diego yeah well I recognize her if I see her uh she's right there yeah I know I'm pointing somewhere with the everyone else can't see but I don't think I've ever no you wouldn't she's a local player she's her scores have been outstanding phenomenal day yeah yeah Street Fighter 2 on stream not until tomorrow I'm afraid yeah exactly it's in the other room it's it's very difficult to move this over there right now how uh we got anybody watching in the uh I have no idea we have the chat here if you see the tab I know far away hi Chad uh it's Nancy getting the point on this game is she in good shape um Nancy is player two she's got 134. Haley's at 21 million player one's at 1.3 bill yeah that 's Carl oh just warp factor over and over so technically I finished before you yeah oh sure yeah but you're gonna have 76 yeah Street Fighter 2 is finished says Neil yeah most of the games in here I mean I'm not moving the break because there's not too many you know they're on last balls and tomorrow we'll we'll interrupt game you know we'll go in between balls to get people you know the complete game then I'm up uh start start tracks really this Star Trek next Generation is interesting though but uh it's set up so that you don't get any locks you can't plunge locks oh yeah so what that means is almost everyone is plunging Warp 4. and you do your Picard maneuver and you either do it or you don't I'm glad I didn't play it I'm not very good at the picardine I love the carpenter yeah but obviously Carl's got it figured it out clearly uh and Kaylee's uh looking intently at his phone yep Kaylee Kaylee it is Carl will kick you off after the uh after his ball is over I'm afraid but you might be getting kicked off for the second here thanks man uh let's see you might let's see what uh what's in that uh fuchsia drink this thing over here oh take a drink go ahead no no there's the color of it is it's amazing I call it a Blue Margarita which it really is it is tequila lime lemon but it's blue I can't remember the name or whatever it is it's a it's a blue liqueur oh okay and it it tastes like blue that's the best I can describe it is that it is a blue tasting margarita so for those that can't see it there you go this uh this next round of pinball is uh is sponsored by Blue tequila blue tequila blue blue margaritas not for me that sure is too young to drink but in Australia how old are you a 20 19 19. okay so if we just bring you up to Canada in Australia I I uh he's been legal for many uh I had many people buying me alcohol I'm Canadian so I get this I lived in Canada for the first 20 years of my life so oh there you go I became 19. okay could drink in Canada yep then at 20 move to the states and couldn't drink anymore legally yeah for a year bummer I uh I grew up in Atlanta Georgia and it was uh back in the 80s when they grandfathered in uh we they moved it from 18 to 21. oh yeah for six months a year I was legal for three years and six months I was illegal yep yep and you know this is our formative high school years you just bounced back and forth you stockpile is what I'm saying we all know Escher has had a drink or two come on yeah especially in Australia Cold Stone sober yeah you remember that time uh Usher broke the pinball at the lake tournament I do just broke it in half broke everyone's Spirit I've never seen 99 people collectively root against him pinball at the lab I'm gonna call it we we've we've transitioned I I get it as well there's a lake somewhere along the lake it's Lake Alice it was three years ago that was pinball at the lake uh but yes no there was a moment tonight where nine or nine people I'm not gonna say they booed I'm gonna say 99 people deflated it was a deflation they just went and Jay kind of gave them hope like Jay nearly yeah sure he was coming for it he was coming from uh so for those that don't understand what we're talking about uh ifpa rulings which we've checked with Josh sharp on is that the limitation to become a certified event which is the I think it's 20 extra bonus uh is that you play 12 rounds for the first person that qualifies for finals because Escher made it he won 10 Rounds he won all 10 games going first each time I love going first the coin first makes it so much easier for me it's just like if I can just blow it up I feel great right yep so so 99 other people went no actually I was I was Jared for him too yeah because I'm I'm sort of I'm on everybody yeah I'm going off into the sunset my walk I'm down to like almost 200. you're past 200 yeah be available to play in the B division shortly that's where I'm at I'm I haven't even broke a thousand I'm at like 1100. I'll pass you on the way I probably could have broke a thousand if Ezra hadn't had done that to me tonight but it's fine it's fine well said I'm not gonna push that against you I wanna I wanna calculate and see truly how many Whoppers were ruined by us you're not losing I think it's 20 I think it was once for everybody I think it was eight percent like you know was it a thousand Whoppers that died because you were too selfish too there was a lot of Whoppers I want to say there was there I will say there was some scrambling at about round uh eight uh yeah uh Josh yeah oh we called him at lunch yeah we called him he said there were any work around yes there the one working around is that if they just made it so that for everybody else had to get to 77 it would go to Max and Carl was like nope we're not doing it then we did the 11. we can't hit the time I think next year I think next year we'll compensate for that we'll we'll account for that but I will get uh when I'm back in District 82 in two weeks I will make up for my Whopper lawsuit but yeah as Jermaine I think it was Jermaine in chat earlier said would it be against the IFA rules to intentionally do poorly to boost the tgp like is that against the rules against it it becomes an ethical question not a legal question I've always hated that particular there is yeah that you have to always try your best maybe but it is but it doesn't make sense maybe he wants less Whoppers because he's playing the long game in circuit finals well you you cost yourself Whoppers as well I mean when you're in first it doesn't matter here's my reasoning but still you did technically technically cost yourself Whoppers by doing that yep so my reasoning is that Whoppers don't really matter to me at all right now because I'm number one the only Whoppers that matter are Whoppers ahead of Kaylee and Raymond yeah so you knocked them down so by me playing the tgp I'm guaranteeing that I can only lose a little bit of ground against them [Music] and there's going to be a new rule next year in place and it's cool to have a rule that you that that's like made after you yeah exactly is the last game out there's some oh I don't I don't want to talk about bad girls right now but uh uh yeah there's absolutely a point where we learn and grow from this where we say okay maybe we should at lunch time when I talk to Josh He said now a Fisher goes ahead and does it then we'll fix it for next year exactly and it's like okay that's all we wanted which is fair I mean the reality is this is not fair to change it happened very often we can't change it right now it would not be fair to esher on that point of doing that especially with having a strategy there of saying I can think of 99 other people that would probably support a on-the-fly change though they would support it but that doesn't make it right no it definitely doesn't make it right so my final four games were I had all solid States from class of 1812 through Robo Wars through I don't know how to block a person or no worries Carl so uh so here we are if you're just joining us we're at pinball at the lab we're going to be going into round 16 15. I think it said and what are we going to be watching I don't know probably uh Doctor Who here uh yeah we have to watch Doctor Who Doctor Who it's Kaylee and Raymond who is going to sit there Jay has a Jay has a bounty on Loops really this should be fun this is Jay's game too bad and Jay has had a bounty on his name is yeah Ray Ray has the is at 98 on the current on the board there yeah which is funny because his high score is is surprisingly low like he didn't constantly yeah it was weird it was like 98 and his high score was like 1.3 billion which means he averaged like about like one Sonic we'll also be keeping an eye on roller games because the four players there are also probably all I know Nick just needs not to take last uh because Nick said 68. I'll be there in a second yeah because he was in my uh he was in my uh eldo yeah top 16 is uh for a Division I can handle the drink 27 what it's one of his initials are still on it from uh yeah I'll be there soon can you announce to everybody I'm about to be here yeah exactly yeah so when group one only two players can make it what two players are going to end up at 67 and 69. so so this might be our final round well that's what I was starting to look at how many how many are done now how many are in the clubhouse I think only like five or six three four five six hey you're a four-way tiebreaker for a bus driving yeah I saw that stay away from group one that's all I care about so is there gonna be a tiebreaker for top four or is this what's the auto tie breaker is there a four-way tiebreaker at 70. Mr Carl D'Angelo I will talk it over with Jim um I don't believe that's a significant tiebreaker because it is who gets into Asher's group [Laughter] it is it doesn't have a uh by consideration so that is not a so it will go get against the number first number of seconds number third you got oh yes I like that that means I like that that's all we that's how we roll here in the left cost it's either a first or last we don't do it anymore today for me I gotta last yeah of course all right so before this round starts let's take a look at the standings just to see how many yeah this is things when things really get tense too I mean you can find it's uh I think we're gonna have one more round I I yeah how many we're looking for how many spots left 16 and eight so nine eight oh so nine spots here roughly yeah or yeah nine there's definitely gonna be nine finishers in this round right two from each group there's only gonna be two so two there's wait let's see yeah that's what sixty two words are are locked out locked out yeah so we're gonna happen around so there's definitely two rounds to go all right and we're on Doctor Who but so everybody go get your Blue Margarita drink this and uh sit back because we got two good games to go all right so if I'm Kyle going into this game is he a Luke guy uh it looks like he's the most always going multiball it's it's so hard to go multiball when you have Kaylee and Raymond in your group yeah but you gotta play the game don't worry about your maybe they miss maybe they die without hitting it's so hard to think that right like you know you're gonna need a billion all right then I'm pulling for Kyle here to to do something 650 million uh multiball but he also started as three as his first doctor so what's that what three is longer who's yes that's weird it's not what you want that's a weirdness three is the best one to start on if you're doing side ramps what's the multiball a doctor uh seven seven that's right but but I mean so you're not going for Luke obviously he's not going for Luke this is a buffet yeah Buffet strap so he's going for multiball it looks like yeah everything you know some people will lock too just to block everybody else it does kick both out every ball yeah so it doesn't do anything if there's no use yeah so he's taking his uh yeah he's doing I mean he's shooting that left orbit which goes in the pops the light video mode Let's get some who's going this is why I don't like Dr free because you're stuck into doing Hulu that's right I actually like doing who's but only when you have only when you have six yeah yeah you gotta have six because you're not shooting a bunch of side ramps to build that multiplier if you don't know a lot of people don't really know how the multipliers work on this game you can see him right here on this Arrow um each shot adds half a Playfield multiplier up to 4X and because of how long they last if you're not in Forex you're really in negative 4X like you're you're losing points they degrade but very slowly and one of the doctors keeps them well six not only do they degrade slower but they also build twice as fast this is incredible ball time for for but yeah like this game is really draining oh so Junior asked is The Game's like the key is the key to the game memorizing the video mode no it's really hot it's on really need to memorize them you can watch them and even if you don't know them it's pretty easy like it is you can see him coming there's no surprises yeah and there's really three main strategies you're looking for you're looking for Sonic booms you're looking for multiball or you're looking for video mode and so it's like rock paper scissors video mode will be in a bad multiball um but we'll always lose the Sonic booms everything will lose everything that beats a sonic boom is a better sonic boom yeah if if you have someone in your group like Kaylee who will loot for 100 Rams and Sonic Boom every single time you have to do it as well you don't have a choice or not if you play for a second here we just said there's gonna be two rounds yeah but he still has to do it yeah uh so Jay's going video mode what did Doctor three also I think no I think he was aiming at it's the the H on this one is so late in your head he's going multiball that no he's going he's going uh side wraps he just can't find the edge shot and Jay knows this game yeah he loves it it's yeah oh my goodness he's inlanes yeah that left Inland been friendly but uh that the age is so late in your brain it took me so much I played it I I mean it was where I expected it to be see that's weird because it was so far off so he'll hit it here oh he went early again maybe he's just shooting repair targets all right now here oh that was late yeah all right settle down for a sec find your shot all right here we go all right one see how the ball holds up though it's the nicest feed yeah but it does come out a different it has a little it has a little spin to it right it's a funny one it's not it's not completely free all right but it all comes down to you gotta make the you gotta make you gotta make it this is a really important shot he makes it okay here we go here we go 40. oh huge big doctor three so he can take more time if he misses it this is the only reason is he gonna get a third try or is it done yeah he's got plenty of time it's like 20 or 30 seconds with three days all right so two-thirds of uh 80 is good enough but that is exactly why three I understand yeah you would not have gotten either of those if he didn't pick three right exactly make a targets that comes up and you have to hit those targets oh interesting that's actually not a bad idea because if a lot of people's like oh just shoot the W room to feed if you shoot the W it locks you out it locks you out and puts you in who combos which are 12 million a shot but they're not 40 million of a shots yeah or 120 Loops there's a typical Doctor Who drink all right all right so he did he did two thirds of one boom so he it's zero to two thirds and now let's see what Ray and uh Kaylee can come up with I agree Dawn 90 Bally Williams flippers are the easiest to tap on on Modern games I know go talk to Nick Stein Chief Walla he can pass on anything yeah that shirt's Gotten Good at it so all right here we go uh what right pick six six yeah not a bad idea all right because if you play who's twice now again I don't blame him it's not like a lot of documentaries all right he's settling in now every time I miss I miss late yeah but it looks like he's found it this is the important one all right here it is the hard one that's awesome he missed the easy one oh all right so zero two thirds two-thirds and now Kaylee's turn all right let's see and warm up I watch Kaylee do 50 loops on one ball and he's like oh this plays nice and then that was good enough yeah I was like Haley it's oh it's almost hard when you have such a good starting game on something it's funny that look the Rays score and uh and J score are nearly identical shot yeah you hit all the hard shots though but yeah the lock block does not work on this the ball is released daily goes straight oh my gosh that was an insane drain I mean because you make six ramps in a row you've got that multiplier maxed out you're not gonna lose that he's missing twice I would say he missed twice he was good on the first one but not the second let's see he's gonna adjust here see he's all right oh that was close though he's taking it away it's he's shooting it right there this is scary this is how I was looping as well yeah this is right where I felt all right here's the important shot he was good on this H every time earlier this game nice and beautiful okay so he's got one no he's uh he has not missed the time to settle in he's settling in he's going early right now what's the one thing you don't want to give Kaylee on a pinball machine Escher uh a repeatable time exactly all right so it's uh not a lot in it it's uh zero to two thirds to two-thirds the one yeah yeah 1.1 this game doesn't look hard at all you know I think he's his multiball is gonna be the greatest multiball in his life he needs to lock in six here and he picks two it builds hang on faster but hang on really isn't that much it's pretty easy he'll get that back two is the the one I pick on ball three no wow so I always go six seven one for me see I don't I don't ever bother multiball and wait what's one dude a video mode gives you two letters each you know Forex video modes all the way through you get that massive bonus at the end so I personally I start with three for my extra who time I'd say three for both three and then uh I do six because then it lets me if I need to bail out to multiball worst case scenario that means I can get my multipliers easy let's see remember the other reason to do video mode is every video mode you complete you get a doctor all right here we go so by the time you get out of those you've got all seven uh he's five out of six now yep one and two thirds uh the good old replay taking away the Millions how uh how how come Jay has one more Point than every but how can he be at 65 group of three we have three player groups at the very beginning of the yeah even it's weird he's out of sync he's only right now but later yeah but he must have had at the beginning of the day yeah he's always he's always been at the auto Mount right all right here we go oh early so now he's he's hit four out of nine yeah or no five out of nine we'll call it yeah we'll call it uh so that's uh such a rough way to drain Dive Dive all right Raymond taking three it looks like all right this is the Money Ball yep well next two balls of the money bro well but oh a little early but he's fine he survived how many oh he just played Sonic okay yep you're already starting to think about you already start to think about the W like it's you're in background yeah I know it's oh it's so hard all right here we go it's like just survived just survive oh and he does Miss and he does yep so the one thing one Nuance of this game that a lot of people it makes that last song boom harder if you missed on the nine like at 19 29 39 that's yeah it ruins your Sonic Boom because when you do it your Millions aren't built up no no it's not that it's that it diverts the wall to the upper flipper you don't get a full oh right yeah okay it's actually a really good Miss for Kaylee because he was locked in the hoos he's still locked in the who's though oh yeah you're right it'll continue right now yeah yeah so he picks two again uh uh let's see what he does here I know I think it's I think it's dead I don't see it flashing I think he's just gonna go back oh you know he is and locks it in yeah wow yeah okay so you can time it out yes or no yes dude every Miss is killing everybody here so I tell you man when it's round 14 now so everyone's yeah I don't want to say fatigue but you've been playing for a lot of pinball today oh yeah all right Kyle is one shot away from multiple it might be the way to go here so I don't think Kyle is picking doctors I don't I think he's just plunging oh he's reading the card now oh you won six you won six two six oh man you got some clothes so how long do you have the complete Sonic Boom depends on if you have Dr three or not yeah that extends it otherwise it's well maybe so we got the like five seconds yep about yeah all right real not real seconds all right five pinball seconds yeah all right so this is only 40 million because he's like so this is the problem with multiballs oh my goodness everyone out of the pool simultaneous end yeah but Kyle is done at 67 which means if he wins next round he's probably gonna be ahead of the time Kyle yeah uh he's at 67. and we got all three it was all three yeah if Kyle is gonna go to 67 which means if he wins the next game he's almost guaranteed it like in a tiebreaker at least but it's gonna come now next round there's gonna be a tiebreaker but he has to win next round all right so here's Jay now Jay's in first here is the universe you don't have to that's right just took a little too long all right so just one Sonic Boom we put rain ahead 240. uh not quite yes it will work yeah with the millions yeah oh I was going to say something about the point we changed the 7531 this year so you're getting a point versus last zero the hurt zero hurts so bad right exactly it does you feel like you're gaining no ground here's one Nuance Carl when there's that double uh DQ yeah with three two one zero a DQ is identical to last place on this one a DQ zero is different than one point there we go all right here it is for the for the lead every Miss killed Raymond three for three for three on his misses pinball God just all right so when you're short 40 million you gotta you can play who's here you don't have to get to Sonic Boom I agree just go straight to it just play who right yeah I I don't know if you can bump over but I would almost be bumping over here right yeah oh he's only two away never mind you go Sonic Boom all right here all right here oh way late is he okay that's it so Kaylee is done he's free Haley made it he holds 71. all right I mean you don't get to see her score in this game that's the cool thing about this game though is if you don't miss during the sonic boom you'll never see yourself you never see your score and then when you drain you look up and sometimes you look at like two billion and it feels great yeah he's good he's always playing for fun yeah all right so Kaylee's gonna go uh Jay gets second yep so JJ's done it Jay's free as well so we got two two finishers all right Raymond there will be another round and Raymond said 67. so Raymond well Raymond goes yeah 67 as well hopefully it's in this room so we could show it you can't stream to the other no with that cable I'm no I don't want to move it all right yeah because it's I gotta swap it out completely I like your chances here Kaylee but you know there's a you know there's his last game tonight man yeah but there's a less than zero percent chance that game breaks down that's unfortunately when you try and do it that's safe or you get dq'd that is a that's a ballsy dead save to go for it hey when the death save calls you gotta all right so let's see who's left and this next round is gonna be this is it all right refresh wow there's still people out right like playing yeah there's still people playing all the rounds are not done let me pull that up over here on the difference oh yeah because there's at least Jay and uh well here I can go to current round hold on let's go here oh wow there's still a lot of people playing doctor who is just not recorded only one person Kevin Kevin Curtis got done and then the rest these guys can't oh no the 64. could Johnny demonic yeah but uh so so Marcus through Leslie's Rocko through uh Scott and then we got uh yeah Kaylee and Jay so there's these come in so there's at least six spots or four spots yeah three fresh refresh come on put the scores in oh sorry I muted you all right I know you're talking right Ray uh thanks I appreciate that uh a contestant was asking for some Johnny Mnemonic advice which I I gave her and then she mentioned that she was um had been drinking and was pretty tipsy and if I had known that I would have given different I was giving her advice as if she were sober I'm a totally different yeah torpedo alley is very loud here play torpedo Allen I watched Kaylee play a very good game and then someone else got played a much better game nice to see El Rocco make it yeah make it in yeah always always a great player we see her a lot she goes to District 82 now yeah I've seen her District A2 a couple times um but I have not seen Nancy uh there's three people at 69 that are not in great shape they still have to get second or first in this game because there's only six spots left okay so so below the line you know what about the B players because we have a a you know or some of these it's gonna be available it's so hard to tell if to be available though right because a lot of players there yeah Nick isn't uh Nick isn't Carlos Laura Stoddard look at that yeah Lauren's doing good too yeah I saw Brandy said he was retired but he just comes to play this all right uh here I'm going to the current round again just to uh well no we got we're gonna refresh here so where's Raymond all right so we are gonna have only um three more spots right uh four more former spots oh wow yeah there's only four spots so so there's a universe where Ray wins and still doesn't get in yep you gotta win to get to a tiebreaker well no because this is well yeah because of the people down here it depends on yeah well no no if he wins he guarantees yeah that win and you're a win and you're good but you gotta win not as easy all right we're waiting on two games torpedo alley um Jim is looking at this which I I'm worried about now and Cactus Canyon which I guess Cactus Canyon look at it looks like it's finished so we should be starting the next round pretty soon pretty soon we got a Sal from uh Vegas I never I didn't uh ever play Jack slovishek and uh I didn't have him I had Nick Stein in my group a few times I had Nick a few times oh Johnny Monica too I uh thank you yep Johnny is the name restricted that's not there yet Nick Raymond Nick is not Nick is B so you uh oh is he yeah wow he's a good player he's three something okay he doesn't what's the cutoff what what's 250 for IPs I might be eligible next year you're like I mean after this I'd love to have eight eight more spots to get in that would be awesome yeah I can't just go and win win all the time when I need to after taking last you do player you play I do better at night yeah yeah Derek's restricted but Derek's not doesn't have a chance he was doing well earlier I didn't know Richie Terry as well Richie was in my group of just a couple rounds ago like yeah it doesn't take much to lose touch with the it's crazy yeah I try not to think about it while I'm playing because I know it's it's it's amazing I was I was 28 points from the end and I won all the last four so that I got there because you were saying you were retiring yeah I heard you yeah I am retiring just slowly very slowly no we've had years I've had years on this tournament where you know the last couple rounds was killing me and I have qualified that's right it's brutal it is brutal oh that's why I love the format though it's it's even though I wish it was 120 and he took 24. yeah I struggled a lot more last year than I did this year but the games are just not there yet I mean we've got there are extra games on free play but they did this for the arcade it's just not it's not enough and you don't want to do too much work because you got in disk in what three months uh I don't talk about that are we all set for in disk everything all set up we have our location sharing the show with anybody else it is just us cool we're in the Riverside Convention Center all by ourselves 500 entry fee each day a for everyone no not that much but there's the 500 high stakes oh yeah when's echo on sale uh I'm hoping end of October October 29th is the 10th of date and we're trying to work it out if you haven't got your uh pin Masters uh registration and if uh Masters went live today it's 350 and if you don't show it immediately you're only getting 50 of it back so there are plenty of tickets available there are and if you win your state at the ifps uh you get a guaranteed spot so or if I fly out to California and when that's well you know what the California they still won't give me a straight answer on where it's going to be it's at The Flipper room in Concord where is Concord uh Northern California yeah it's no cow and what's in that room how many pins they got how many else all moderns I don't know it's uh is there a stars do they have a star no but last time I went up there for States they had the Paragon with the remove gate that's that's not nice okay so you want to play that come to California so what's it feel like I'm trying to be well what's it worth to California to maybe help escher's flight to Wisconsin we're not doing that like we weren't paying them today to you know not as far as you know as far as you know as we know of course yeah we were not you know given an option to pay extra a lot of money to have them not make the finals or not to do 10 perfect rounds yeah yeah so that we could have a fully vaporized tournament certified no we haven't fully weatherized tournament we don't have a certified one it's ironic because we took 10 Rounds instead of 12. it's ironic because it was this tournament last year that got us thinking about that certification process exactly and getting good better tournaments certified and then to have it yep the new rule comes out of it then so be it but you know anyone were you in Esther's group at all this snow today no not once okay you have you have a beef you never had a chance to beat them yeah well so but Raymond I beat the convergence I was it wasn't even like Slaughter when I was still playing yeah it's around 11 to slaughter exactly so I beat the slaughter so you never p lay gym either probably I never played Jim well that's how I played Jim half the battle I don't know half the battle is staying out of Jim belsito's group yeah especially in qualifying yeah twice now it was like World Championships uh what are why is torpedo alley is this like the second so yeah uh I don't know is anyone in chat can they check in on the pin Master see how many spots there are I think they had 81 available and there was only like 15 sold this morning yeah so another I didn't realize uh Carlos was also under the line I didn't I'm like regardless yeah he was in my room oh my goodness is he out no make it yeah he gets to 72. that's not enough it depends on what happens up here crazy crazy things right yeah that's weird though because Carlos is usually gets stronger like because he plays so much in so long he sort of has that reputation of being a stronger player because he plays forever he doesn't get tired yeah but uh wow I know we had a bad game at eldo because I kept walking around and he came out immediately like each time I was like oh he had some kind of drains on that elbow I saw him missed the first skill shot and after that you were all the only one that we're making and it was good fortune well no that's the way you have you cannot do it straight on you have to bounce it in and you bounce it in both times yeah so how do we tell how many tickets are available I go to buy the ticket and can I buy multiple is that how uh let's see yeah let's get ten tickets Carl all right all right we're gonna do a giveaway yeah so 10-3 uh yeah at two at 350. speaking of giveaways uh Captain's auction right it's Captain arcade showroom you know next door to the auction they run an event called Penta Pirates early December I think it's December 1st to the 4th have to check on that but we are giving away a high stakes entry at that tournament oh nice 500 500 value yes and the wave the way high six is gonna work is 500 but you get five you get ten cards ten why not just take the glass off why not I know yeah sure but this way hey you won't feel so bad if you play a bad game on game one you you go ahead burn it like I really think that's how you play this is their solution there's no reason to play ten ten entries like you really would burn your first three entries yeah maybe you play play all the games once for does that mean that you're gonna guaranteed put at least one solid state that I have to play on my ticket of course and we always put all errors in yeah that's tough son that's right I'm so bummed I I played Robo War as well I'm sorry I'm sorry everyone watching the the torpedo alley is we're still waiting on torpedo yeah I mean you can imagine let's go see everybody kind of overhead yeah so this is the tournament Pirates rally Finn's Empire Charlie that's the one in December and where is that where's the uh auction where is that located in Anaheim it's oh right down L.A yeah it's off of the 91 freeway yeah I think like uh 20 minutes from Disney Disneyland I know it's nothing but that's that's a reference for other people I see I see [Laughter] Anaheim off La Palma Kramer XM 91. exactly thank you I hope everyone's getting excited this is our last round and so uh there's gonna be a lot of drama we're gonna have 12 people qualify this next round yep because we have to go all the way through b yep and so foreign there could be another round for the last couple beats possible okay or timer [Music] I'm afraid my we're uh yeah we're gonna go get some Ramen after this round oh yeah 24-hour ride I hope that place is still open the yeah we had Cheba Hut love Chiva oh Chiba my favorite restaurant update uh a lot so with without this round completed we have no idea you know you've got Michael players Michael potentially could actually if he wins he's at though oh yeah he's done I watched player one Michael played very well in my group earlier today oh he's it he does not have a good score at the moment I don't think but it's all right Carl's gonna Hood yeah one of the best that's like one of the best reasons to come to this tournament is because there's a Cheba Hut for lunch all right he's in last Derek Eric has over 6 million points uh player three is John so oh so Derek see we were thinking Derek was done because he was done at 62. he actually he's fine John is 1.8 and um Richie has around 600 I think oh so original he's an eight player too so yeah he is again I had to touch you in a couple groups um are we gonna play another round for B players yes and the a players will play in that round too even even though yeah because they can still they have to get past 70 points before their final placement is locked in right right so yeah even if you don't qualify in top top 16 you keep on playing for those those little Whoppers that aren't going to be multiplied by 20 percent right right because of uh this is this no longer selfishness of one player over over all the other players picking all the points I want to see Josh's response to this I do we're just gonna say run a better you know yeah 12 rounds minimum yep but again for this tournament we run 12 rounds minimum we're running to midnight at least and we didn't want one to do that no it's a it's it's gonna happen once once a century kind of it's a it's a hundred year flood kind of thing like there were two or three chances where you won by it was uh miasma against Nick Stein I won by like one switch on one game on uh Lady Luck was it yeah and uh what was the other really um Johnny Mnemonic uh I had one shot away one spinner shot with a coffee yeah you won by like 50 000 points you get 50 million 50 mil well that's like 50 yeah so I mean there were there were opportunities to at least go 11 rounds yes many opportunities but man the pinball pinball gods were on my side today so this is a more complete picture now that okay 69 also so Nick should Nick Raymond's are they going to be all the 69's going to be in the same group yes and one of the 67s ray once you've also got this group though that's finishing right now so Oh I thought they were done no Derek's not quite down so we're not this isn't Final in frame is in trouble trouble yeah oh absolutely if there's another 69 then all the 69s will be in the same group and Raymond's gonna be in the 67 group there is going to be another 69 because Derek yeah Derek is 62. he's winning this game he's like seven million so four six there will be four players at 69 which means and all of them will get to 70. all four will get to at least 70. that is correct and in 67 only two players from the 67 group will get above 70. right so there'll be six in it but the two who get there are going to be 74 and 72 the 70 point isn't gonna be enough in the sick but we'll see but yeah this is fun isn't it yeah I've been on this side of it so I know I would say you're on this last last year yeah the only difference is like I said you don't have the opportunity to get that goose egg yeah that's right now I'm wondering is this actually good to go to the scoring we went to it to get rid of the half point for three player group or to get the we were doing three two one for three player groups which never felt Fair no that's why I like the IFA scoring seven five maybe it should be three 1.50 because you still get that goose egg you you have to actually work at it I like that a DQ is worse than one than lasso yes that's true another one yeah but the best part it's like when you play when you play in these last rounds because I did it last year it's like playing in a you know a pinberg final like it's all the nerves and the focus and the it's it's really exciting I felt that today but like in a different way whereas you do regular match play and everybody plays to the end it's like oh great Escher and Carl and Jim are playing again on a game and oh is it this great oh look at them you know it's it's great to pull the players out and then let everybody else and that's what most people don't do with the target match play format they they end up ending the tournament when someone hits that yeah and we did that in Indus because of time restrictions right we're not doing it but this way with the qualifications and pulling them up oh you've been there so much about that Thursday thing you run the Thursday thing yeah to keep people from winning the bounties is that what it's for yes you learned that rule yesterday last year that you if you play in that match play classic thing at indisc you don't get to get all the bounties on the 100 bounces yeah when I saw when I saw that I could pull out and I would not like lose ifpa rating and that there was a a mystery castle yeah there was a hundred dollars for getting crowned which I had done on my one game ever on it and I'm just really good about it so you quit you're a quitter I'm a quitter yes and then I that qualifying ticket was the number one ticket by a large margin so I I don't feel bad so you feel like you quit well if you're gonna quit you quit well I got a bounty on that mystery castle because Lonnie brick drained his crown like he had it on a lot of yes so it's uh so is Richie Terry the only Seattle player to make it down do we have anyone else I mean Kaylee of course well like Kaylee and Yaz but I guess I didn't they go to everything they're in District 82. Richie hasn't come to District 82. I'm looking around the room I didn't recognize any other Seattle guys in Seattle right uh Northern he's normal he brought his son his how old is his son I don't know older than that six or seven I had to play I had to play him twice he got oh man because it was his first tournament right yeah so he's the lowest seated yep so uh it's good you get that experience early and it'll uh it'll pay off in the end imagine pulling out of it that's funny because yeah he had some drama at uh District 82 a while ago so I have to bring up that you shouldn't be allowed to pull out of certain amount I know why you do it but I I don't think it should be allowed so the real playpoint why not so the reason I don't feel like it you're playing bad but I think you should still your reasons up to that point you should still count I know why so no wine doesn't but I think there's an exit there's an exploit here obviously yeah and so like when I pulled out of the tournament it was not for like you weren't doing it as a next Point even if I did lose power 100 I didn't care like I was gonna and it wouldn't have cost you a power 100 yeah and I just I like how the like the ratings work all the people that were beating me I have played many times before so like I can afford one loss especially if I do well at indisk every single one of those players is gonna be in class I don't know how you find the balance point like because there are lots of legitimate reasons to pull out yeah um yes yes there are and but because you're playing poorly and you're feeling fine just because you're playing bad I still think it's not your legitimate reason I think it is I think that's still your choice as a player that there's no you shouldn't be forced to play if you're not feeling like you're playing well why not pull out it's costing you you're not getting any Whoppers you've caused someone else to spawn that event by take by I'm going out yeah you you've crossed the other players in the event they're the extra whopper or whatever I don't you know like I've said before I'm not taking it you've taken a spot yeah you're taking a spot from someone else that would have run the full length of the tournament unless they themselves also were planning to pull out if they play for them okay unlikely yeah we can make it work but here's I mean here's the underlying problem though they you play too much at District 82. Two a days or yeah then you have to pick which one to skip from the beginning yep but but you you pay as a a single price for all of them so it sucks it sucks it sort of forces you into I mean I went once and it's like no I'm not doing this anymore and this is crazy I get to go in two weeks right you're going only because you're going you're going yeah you're in two weeks I'll see you too you have a roommate yeah uh Derek Raymond said uh he might uh Jermaine are you in chat of course he's in chat he's always instruments always Jermaine are you going to District 82 and two years do you need a roommate well because no Ray said if you were going then he was going to stay with you but if not then uh finally finish the game again I apologize to everyone watching and I wish we had some more pinball quicker but this is uh the nature of the Beast and we get like I said tomorrow will be better yeah yeah easier to train games when there's not 100 people here yeah so you're still only streaming in this room no I'll do both rooms because I'll pull this whole thing outside I need to change out that one cable that's a problem okay torpedo alley right um when I go there I I've stayed with Tom many times all right start round and uh the amount of work that goes into it because he has to set up the stream it's a run everything first there he's the first one there in the morning in the tournament he's tournament Paragon should I go to Paragon paragon's got Raymond Johnny John and Kyle today it can happen wow it can happen what's our other choice uh no we don't have any other choices all right Paragon it is yep Ed's got to be Paragon that's all right I'll be back so it and all we've heard is Ray badmouthing this Paragon right it's tilty the the tap is in the upper right flipper is maladjusted so it's harder to harder to hit Oggy in more ways than one all right uh did you play it today I did not I did not neither one of us wow and I will not be playing it tomorrow uh hopefully unless unless the higher seat in your group picks it unless I defer yeah unless you go last which you would never do in this tournament uh well yeah in the tournament I will well I was going to tell you right now I will because you get to pick a game once yeah okay but there's and I mean you only need 12 12 games yeah but I'm saying if I can just win the first two I can probably then you can sure at that point and it depends on who your co-pilot is exactly if I can you know if I will not I will not be your co-pilot thankfully last year I was in your group yep I love being number one seed but mostly because I get to pick the game and go first my two favorite things I love going first and I love picking all right there you go chat that's the key to beating National if you if you're in my group and you're and you're in between second and first and you pick to go first you were pissing me off yeah that's I think you should do they always do that given a choice between first or second I'll always pick first I I hate the burden of choice me too I like to just well it is actually hard to pick a game at like Expo for example it's really straightforward right like I'm paying Godzilla I'm playing Jurassic Park like there's no games here I really disliked but uh we're uh we're welcoming Kelly George into the booth hey Kaylee hey what's wrong congratulations on not having to play this round hey it feels good welcome to the club Industrial group so we're gonna watch uh Raymond and Johnny Monica Monica and Kyle keep in mind there are four players at 69 so only a first here yeah it's gonna have because there's only four or three there's only three yeah yeah first here is necessary right and even then you might not even get in no no first we we figured it out first is you are good but second isn't it's gonna be like this like 30 way tiebreaker I tell you I'd like to go first on this rather than last there's nothing worse than trying to chase the score on Paragon and the ball Never Comes Close you'd rather hope you make it over the Finish Line yeah this is the question I asked earlier if you if you're forced to decide apparently this is frustrated Raven to no end yeah no he was not happy about it uh Kayla we saw you scissor every every time he's been dying yeah he's really snake pit yeah I don't know what I was doing yeah you were trying to do your little drop catch but it was just that wrong well I was telling Usher like I always get too cute on Paragon like I thought the ball was like spinning counterclockwise so it would hit the crook of my flipper and stop and then I could do stuff and it wasn't and it went through yeah and like it doesn't feel good one timing it up there it would have been better a well-deserved scissor yeah so you know oh look Johnny gets a couple of bonus oh oh nice tilted because the game's so tilty yeah that was a great save the question I asked chat and the other people in the group for the rest of your life when you full point or when you plunge on Paragon no matter what you do you have to pick a scoop and it's gonna go in that scoop on the plunge for the rest of time which side are you picking left or right right the rest of time yeah right most people said golden Cliffs and I think I agree no I don't want points I want the I want to spell my Paragon letters well okay what happens after all things being equal well it's just regular Paragon or like you get it in the scoop so it's regular paragon it's just off of lunch so on a fiber you're maxed at 20 000. I always want Cliffs this is why okay Cliffs is a static progression on every Paragon you play there's plenty of tournaments where Paragon is not that is he's right there's a lot of Paragons that don't go in order right and a lot of them even so it's still it's Advanced bonus and it goes in and you get the other Advanced bonus on the red target yeah but you get that for Cliffs a lot no he didn't right there all right what's the feed here oh it's good oh nice big shot look at that oh it's a little scary yeah it's been so close to the golden giant John getting the best ball time here that was nice nice no Panic save oh oh yeah that upper flippers if you like look when it flips you see how like yeah all right here we go all right is he a tap tap it or just go back up yeah yeah nice see I'm I'm the more I play Paragon the more I'm just like sending back up the right side what do you think about the old shots up the right uh the shots in Northwest that's what I had to do yeah you couldn't tap on that one you know what the tap Works some on some and not others but the shots always worse he's what I tell people on a lot of games yeah this game is the shots is weird though oh okay so he survived one he's all in them there's the three ax oh that was tough they don't want to get tilt that I'll tell you points his points there is a universe where 100K is enough on this one yep like all right Kyle Smith he was in uh group for two of mine earlier I don't think I played him the chat says backhand the golden clefts what kind of universe is that Dalton invented that or I don't say invented it but he doesn't know how to tackle ironic he's the one promoting this in the church he got over a million doing that but it's still the wrong thing to do that's like that fabled you know story of whoever shot like three billion of goals on World Cup like I don't believe it yeah well you know you know that uh I know it's scary but that uh on the Fly just dead bounce just dead bounce trust him it's going to a trap I swear I agree you're gonna drop on the left there I like this Paragon going just just see ball hit ball is not a terrible way to play it yeah the the pops don't seem too dangerous like we haven't seen any drinks now okay here we go okay it seems to go into there like if you go on the Fly and you hit the spinner or the it's fine oh well yeah those flips are the scariest though yep all right it's like a see like again hold the flipper up there off the tip boom yeah I like your dead pass there yeah oh nice nice all right oh that's unlucky yeah I I agree with that decision holding the flipper up most people do and it's usually a good feed but yeah no it's hard to gauge that that was just not quite enough speed to do it yeah yeah playing I'd say yeah zmac I'm in the same boat as District 82 is taking all my trust of dead bounces on Paragon yeah well that and every other a lot of yeah all the bets are off on uh all right Ray tap and go buddy nice nice spinner nice nice all right that's what you want to do this is this is the Raymond all right he's gonna survive that's that was good yeah yep God nothing wrong there he did nothing wrong oh but you know that's how you gotta get used to that at least once on your game right yeah but if you get all he missed three times on Doctor Who and all three drained and two yeah yeah Raymond said to me why does your RAM feedback to you and finally it's the Outlander did you explain to him that pinball is a uh yeah I tell them it was about missing correctly yeah all right Johnny again Johnny did everything right there and I don't getting an in lane on Paragon is like surviving Raven's in the chat Paragon again yeah how can he be in the chat and play is that allowed is that in the rules and laserless have both been in chat today while they're playing yep I don't I don't understand the interwebs enough to know how to do that yeah all right here we go no 20s have been locked in for anyone nope so he's all in on your Paragon hole oh never mind he's getting a little bit of both yeah I'm telling you that the momentum gods are on his side because he had the best ooh that was a nice shot oh and I like going on the little flipper now now that he got burned by it he's also oh he's also uh one Target on the right away from his 20K but more importantly once you get three sets down of these drop targets yeah it lights a special and how much yeah on we have to get in here which is really annoying because you can't really shoot it and sometimes when you hit a good spinner shot it'll go around like how it was designed but yeah all right so nobody has their 20 in so it's still anybody's game on ball three if they get a little ball time yeah really rough right now yeah not giving people a lot of chances all right here we go that's the scariest feat on Paragon he's got to make a decision I'll tell you Kyle is absolutely determined not to have his his ball scissored yes he's defensively only flipping the right side very quickly not holding it up oh he survived oh that's trouble nope oh the inserts are so scary yeah all right he's alive though boom nice again boom nice nice all right he's still committed that was a great bailout early oh no action on the Beast all right the Beast is uh two for three deaths yep John all right here's Raven's uh tournament life on a game of silty paragon let's see if it ends ironically or whether he pulls it out as Raymond only can tap and go Ray resonates like a lucky in Lane like a beast layer and then he'll like oh okay do it again he needs bonus and oh just barely kissed the knives he's doing everything right there's that Target all right dead down all right nice come on let's go all right oh okay nice bailout and uh yep one more no yeah he needed he needed one little bit of love there one just one Beast layer all those Taps were great yeah rolling he was feeling that it was but that's a that's a great way to play Paragon Ray he's Fearless is out I believe yeah oh Johnny with the interesting dead bounce Donny's not out of this either Let's see we saw radio he is oh that actually is not bad going up to the upper flipper gives you a little more time to time the uh the shot I like the upper flipper tap well that was the Dead one he survived oh that's nice oh nice okay yeah okay this is a really important drop Target nice all right let's go down to the bottom boom nice oh we got that great oh we played with his food Raymond is upset about that yeah get a napkin it's all over his face oh okay he's fine oh he's fine he's been playing this perfectly and he just freaked out on the easiest oh he hit the crook the mini flipper all right he's one shot away from me [Laughter] oh my goodness it's all coming together all right so I'd say uh John or Kyle's to nobody this is yeah John is really wants to get Kyle has a 10 000 point lead appropriate t-shirt here don't panic yeah you need a nice nice Douglas Adams around 8 000 points on Paragon and uh he doesn't have a towel like if you're gonna wear a Don't Panic shirt you would definitely have a towel as well that's your that's your primary uh he's warming up his tab yeah he's going for it all yeah I think right here is c-ball hitball yeah well more important golden Cliffs once the golden golden Cliffs like what what is it up to eight eight odd six boom nice all right back yeah and so he's ahead of Raymond an inline so he's guaranteed second now I want to see this tap pass attempt that he's been working on yeah all right here it is no we will never see it man oh man one this is a really important now you can get less than 2 000 points on Paragon you can go straight it's hard though just get in a scoop he's getting a scooper hit the rollover or yeah do anything all right like it's Gotta really go but oh yeah that's a golden Cliffs and he's oh my goodness Smith is the Victor and we'll see if Kyle makes it in or not yeah the line of death line of death Raymond gets to 70. so uh if three or four people don't show up tomorrow maybe if they pull a uh a Jared yeah sleep in too late yeah that's how you assert dominance you just don't show up for finals you know I love paragon like your life on the line that's really that's a that's a terrible game that's the worst what we already saw that we saw the version on uh on Doctor Who this is the Doctor Who of solid state yeah you do the thing and you win yeah Raymond did the thing and didn't win he just needed one he just needed one one yeah tactical strategy will not always be rewarded in Paragon Jared says too soon Adam oh sorry Jared will be at Expo this year we will yes and you'll be playing in the uh finals Kaylee you will not be at Expo this year yeah you're gonna go to EPC and you're gonna win another major I'm gonna do my best you got to say hi to uh you know heliana Walters from Colorado moved back to Sweden and took Adam Higgins survived like 20 like five percent cut lines or something I don't remember what the department is the eight player round robin that one person survived yeah no you should like that sort of format yeah I'm I'm qualifying just tell me it's qualifying and I'll do great so you gave up your spot unfortunately I'm the last alternate for uh circuit finals uh okay I need somebody to have like a flight malfunction on the day yeah to get in yeah I tried to take last that wouldn't fly apparently so yeah get your 700 just for yeah oh but that's gonna be fun uh so Stern's gonna film it and we're gonna not tell we're gonna try not to tell anybody what happens and then you'll have to watch ESPN the Ocho to see it played out a few months later ah friends of 8-bit arcade in uh Seattle in the chat nice I was gonna go when I uh had a layover there yeah it's the closest to the airport right relatively pretty much yeah yeah and they had a Godzilla I think is when I was there and I uh I fell asleep and did not go but I wanted to go yeah they had that Toe Tan that was great oh yeah good times I gotta I gotta do the totan I explained it to zmac but he couldn't get it to work ah did you get the uh the whodunit stack no I haven't gotten a chance to it's not on I don't know it doesn't need to be on tournament mode it might need to be on Chase ball I'm not sure or sorry um not chase at all stage ball deactivated so this is the uh this is the deep cut portion of this yeah yeah we can get the the deep cut on WHO dunnit you can stack roof and basement but we're not going to tell you how and you have to go find it at home anyone who can figure it out the only person yeah the only person in chat that already knows that's not how to leak is Zach McCarthy no no spoilers Zach just tell them what is it so you need the flashlight yeah you get the uh you get the flashlight easiest to get on four right ramps yeah four or five right ramps yeah then you need to prime your elevator so you have multiball basically lit on the elevator yep and then you start shooting the sewer you pretty much need to know who the suspect is yeah you have to know beforehand yeah and uh once you have the flashlight does the sewers actually basically like a a random award machine but they're locked in tournament mode I guess or maybe in regular play yeah and uh not too far like the fourth or fifth one is uh select WHO dunnit when you shoot it in there while it's giving you the select it like shoots the ball out so you have to be it tries to drain you because your flippers are dead so you have to like rapidly select the correct sub the subject and then one time it up the middle one flip one flip and if you can hit the exit it'll start multiball and you'll still have roof going and then you can shoot your roof and complete it during multiball and get the stack there you go so if you ever WHO dunnit at home there's got to be a bounty for streaming that yeah the other one I was looking into is the uh the five multiball stack on circus Voltaire oh yeah that one's great um so the Home Run they think there's no there's no uh resurrection of multiball in the Home Run yeah you can't do it fixed it the home ROM whoever did it uh what's his name it was actually the pro the original broker whatever no it was um Eugene Jarvis no uh he only he only did a couple games younger kid at the time God I met him at a few shows isn't it one of the guys who's that we're all thrilled now uh no I don't think so yeah but uh so you need a you need a regular ROM not the home ROM yeah and uh so and the the lead that I have right hey we're gonna get uh we're moving Carl's gonna try moving the stream over to uh Deadpool okay yeah well the thing is you can never guarantee neon's g onna happen that's uh three percent chance so on the home run at least we kind of figured out like a somewhat pattern to the the sideshows which is it goes from the first one's always popcorn every single time yeah and then it goes between either video mode or a mode like hat trick or or sorry not like and then sorry uh in between video mode or a normal mode uh Cameron Silver Cameron that's who I was trying to think of yeah um yeah so this is it goes popcorn and then there's points or like a mode like hat trick yeah or and it goes back and forth and neon is one of the most one so it's one of the modes okay and then the points okay so you could stack at least neon and juggler so to give yourself a good chance you play a video mode and then the chances of it being neon is not zero okay and uh so but if you play popcorn and then you get your next one it's it can never be neon yeah well so here's the bug that I think if you go back to a district 82 stream can we switch do you know how to switch to the camera um if we yeah uh the bug is that if you shoot voltaire's jackpot at the right time yeah it diverts the ball but doesn't give you the voltaired jackpot plus what I accidentally did when we played it at one time and he resurrected and I resurrected after like multiple 30 seconds like there was an insane gray Spirit which makes me think if I started juggler during then I could have brought everything together but you have to do the bug and then also roll the like one in ten chance of getting Neons I've never been able to do that I've been able to like sequentially add a multiball all the way through four oh right but not the fifth with the grace period yeah so great grace period in the Voltaire collect every time and stack everything except for uh juggler and high wire hate each other they can't get together like you that's the except well except grace and grace is how you do it yeah you know another way I've done it is intentionally dumping yeah I think it must be patched in home run then because we can't do it in Grace yeah okay like the original Like Home Run yeah you could do it so I yeah I have some weird extra one yes who knows what's at District 82 because that's something that's something here yeah there's like I don't have I have the home Ramen I don't have that setting where you can do two locks for one shot that's that's weird oh we are going to Deadpool yeah yeah Dalton definitely confused my brain I was wondering how circus is one of the most nicely coded games ever but I love circus because the second time you joined a circus in a game they're different challenges yeah and that was that blew my mind I thought that was great okay let's see who's on uh who's on this autofocus uh well I mean we can see here I can update it Deadpool is Hillary Jacobson Shane Klein Paul Xavier it's on your screen now no that's Sal I'll hey you that's not uh yeah that's always what's that oh it does itself okay so this is uh this is this is Meaningful yes this is very beautiful this is the 69 group uh next time we punched his ticket ball two oh it's about two uh that was about three where's uh six times at 240. so 240. we'll check his weapons because that means he's gonna be getting close you know 240 can be a lot of things and apparently this Spinner's super dialed right you can get to it's so funny you can get disco lit in one shot one good shot it's hilarious that's funny because I played I played one just recently where I had to hit it like nine times yeah I think the one to District 82 is like four or five shots yeah Esther said that and I was like okay exaggerating and then I hit it it was like no I was like I literally on my first ball shot the spinner and it was lit how does it look super comfortable on on the Deadpool yeah and then essentially just drained out of multiple okay he was acting like it was ball three or something all right 122 player one Derek Derek got some work to do somewhere oh he's in second place so I like his chances still even with a second yeah tied with the win of the 67. so seconds okay but he's not really that far in seconds so let's see what what has he got lit he's already it looks like he's already playing he's definitely already plays ninja he plays a little Deadpool he finished T-Rex but he didn't finish his regular mode how about his game he started a little Deadpool with Juggernaut and that's how he drained his first ball without finishing drug or not all right second ball he brought in t-rex with his um Katana and that's where all his points are so he still has disco real quick so yeah and qualifying the the top 16 qualify for a in the next eight qualify for b b is restricted to Whopper 250 and Below yeah so uh I show certain people as ineligible because of uh their if a ring so maybe he just never played little Deadpool because it is flashing right now oh he got the super skill it was the second time around he Oh I thought it would oh no I know that was his uh will Deadpool multiball that was lit really he hadn't played little Deadpool yet so Derek can only get second here bummer Nick is looking really good let's see yeah he's probably feeling really good he looks like he hasn't played his uh Katana either yeah one shot oh in his life he's close to his uh what's it called uh siron claron he just needs to finish mystique and he's already started it and look his lock is lit so he's probably all three where did he get all those points did he play Disco maybe maybe he had a big disco uh I mean we can yeah maybe or maybe he just had a bunch of team-ups in one of his modes it's hard to tell but he could have also just lit another lock yeah it's funny to like guess the score for like you could yeah there's so many plateaus in uh in this game like yeah more plateaus I I feel like I have to he could have already played a ninja right yeah that's what I'm thinking all right I think colossal jackpot awesome jackpot can be really good but not when it's the first shot in your ball that's about the worst uh word versus weapons 32. so he's got 13. and missing someone's dead like she is one child oh yeah oh no nice nice speed was not awesome on this I need the center shot but Sports call out mystique's one shot one shot all right all right here it's easy spinner oh oh wow there we go from the right okay I still need some Rampage no it just needs any switch there it's lit all right two scoops away one scoop if you time it up all right trouble nice left catch the backhand was back again oh that should have stuck not trouble oh all survives all right this is the scary one and now you got to go back to the scoop right now and can you like flutter catch out you can drop catch half of them now remember the one in Florida like killed you 80 of the time yeah wrestling oh nice yes look at this also six pins to disco right so what's the best way to play this uh you don't like you can play combos right yeah you play for weapons it's like five million a shot Super's like 25 million so really if you can prep if you come out of this and have mech suit ready I did it right it's like a Madness multiball in uh so what kind of combos are you hitting you get your weapons left ramp left ramp in the center spinner those are your good ones yeah or I think you can just do left ramp bump over shoot scoop I like grinding bombs yeah the scoop doesn't count as a shot it just collects them I know it but you're collecting them and uh and you're building smart bombs yeah I would I my mine is all right 36. all right nah it's on nine to go but again disco is one Center spinner away how can you tell whether you played it or not uh you can I just saw it on the screen but I did the wrong thing oh oh you go Megalodon I think it's single balls but T-Rex oh I actually have two bombs uh T-Rex is good because the only danger shot in T-Rex is the little Deadpool shot and they put it yeah the bomb always spots a little bit so that's why it's my favorite Quest mode yeah rest in peace original Megalodon you will always live on yeah that was probably like that was awesome the silliest Nerf ever who who found that I think it was you right I don't know I thought it was you and uh what oh me and Nick Wayne and Nick Wayne yeah we might have actually done that so yeah it was good for like 500 million if it were skillful yeah the so I would use a bomb here that was the year that was the year I won and uh definitely I beat Carl with it and I beat Andy Rosa with it yep he's a bomb yeah so it's the second ninja I mean this game is still trash because of the Snick Target but whatever this next is my least favorite part of this game by a lot and yet you hit it all the time yeah and profit from it you know it's like this you know you feel like everybody by hitting it like I can't hit it but you hit it all the time oh that's gone yeah you should feel super dirty yeah first nickname so well yeah I snicked like what three times in our game today it was a nice ball clearly based upon the score yeah nice game so I like Nick's chances here but uh punch in the ticket all right I feel like you should be DQ to not skip your animation it should at least cost you a point like just I'm sorry we're docking you a point yeah for slow play especially like when you have like a bunch of ninja apocalypses or you could be the next player and come up and just sort of you know finish it yeah with gruffin uh I played so this is Jack okay I didn't know his name but I know who he is because I played him in like the final eight of like Indus Classics oh yeah he was one he was I was like I had never seen him before and he played really good how old do you think he is we can look on his his webpage like he could be anywhere from 13 to 35 yeah uh you pick T-Rex here I think I I so I assume he hasn't used his Katana yet isn't a bad idea either because if you can kill him really fast it's good points and he has got a team up as his team up which means the final shot's double oh nice that was great yeah all right I think he's going after a katana for sure the fact that he has his sunglasses on the on his head like that make me think he's at least 20. 23 according to ifti okay well there you go like you won't see it or wear their sunglasses that way oh he must have little Deadpool still maybe he's 57. oh that was a bummer I didn't register nice little nice all right Katana Maybe nope oh yeah it is that's worth it yeah for sure when you're catching what 180 yeah it's totally worth it and again if you just got to kill saber tooth you have that doubler he's kind of losing the saber tooth right now though like he's in the yellow Health which means but more importantly he's losing the value yeah a lot of the values and how much health you have left and okay so he's probably just beat David oh yeah he's got Sabertooth for sure okay so that scoop will definitely put him ahead of uh Derek here we'll see though needs to hit it come on hit the scoop you do lose value this is the time oh I want to do it from the right but oh Three's a charm four but I can't nice so yeah there's only like four bucks seven seven that's four times two but that catches there he's there on bonus yeah and it feels so good when you're still in multiball at this point like you know so because that happens and you're still playing for a moment that was a great little nudge yeah oh another one good Knocks yeah now you just want to survive the transition out of multiple yeah and it's still hot Derek it's a good way to put it if Sal doesn't catch Jack I think he's through as well because that gets him to 74 which is the same as a win at the 67 group yep so I think he's okay unless there could be in trouble Derek Derek's already got third I think he's out maybe that's the same as second on paragon I might have been the fastest full set of little Deadpool targets completed ever nice shot that's one uh we when we joined he just joined that up ninja look at this yeah oh my God that's hilarious it's still going yeah oh nice do you think he knows about uh yeah yeah I think I think he thinks better here yeah nice okay so it's lit will it if it keeps spinning so much will it actually start it's a switch slap save he just thought that was gone he's had so many of those from the pops oh see that right there is where you need your little drop catch yeah oh geez Whip and Jack is probably the finals you have Derek and Johnny are both not qualified for or can't get in the B wow all right let's see uh some solid play so that's where that's where all the points came from Battle chance the standings here and let's see how how it looks yep but for B only one spot in b and A's done all right so there's a tiebreaker at 72 yep so it's uh Carlos yeah Mrs Raymond Raymond misses yep um Laura Stoddard makes it in wow good job Laurel and this is not actually updated that that the 69 group is not in yet oh dear 72 is getting scary 72 might be tied for 16. yeah it is it's gonna be a three no it's gonna be a four three four for one it's gonna be a four or three for one wow uh how do we refresh oh it's not in yet did Miles make a triumphant no I don't know he is eligible I believe in him though he kind of needed to win his last two and he got three again he's gotten I think he has the most thirds in the tournament so man that was a good that was a fun game yeah both of them were really fun because it's such a great format other than the one loophole the one loophole that somebody wins there we go seven shoes I'll clean 72 is out 70. 72. we are done we are done aren't we we have to eat the below the line yep we're done one two three four five six seven eight yeah that's it we're done there's no spots left oh my goodness misses out 72 misses clean jackets in we're ready to beat it the ineligible means uh B division they're not eligible for B division we've got an issue Derek is not uh eligible oh you counted I thought it's counting it for some reason I don't know why so yeah we are a light one we need one more round one more round let's rack them up I think I have this stop stop talking and start talking I think I'm ready to go dude no if I don't get an early night I got a big day tomorrow I'm thinking I'm gonna shut this down right now okay just save my batteries and everything and um get ready I got to fix
