Summary

Coverage of the 2024 Pincinnati Women's Amazing Race Finals, a competitive tournament format where 24 players compete across multiple pinball machines trying to avoid the lowest score rather than maximize their own.

    Chuckwurt @ Early broadcast — Core explanation of the psychological pressure in Amazing Race format where players fear elimination by lowest score

this is it man welcome everybody to the women's finals for pincinnati 2024 Amazing Race format Sean and I are here to tell you a little bit about that format and to get things kicked off and then we should have a whole slew of uh commentators come in and sit down especially as some of these competitors get out they might want to come sit down and uh that happens quickly yeah and it happens quickly in this format do you want to talk about the Amazing Race and how it works sure I'll talk about the Amazing Race um so I don't know what their qualifying format was so maybe you can help me out there with the start how did we get here yeah so we had a pretty traditional uh sort of match play 7531 scoring for three hours okay and then top 24 made it in top 24 okay so of those 24 players they would have gotten a seeding based on how well they performed in qualifying and that seating would have led to who uh to people choosing their position in the race so ultimately score-wise it doesn't matter um what position you run the race because everyone is trying to not get the lowest score on a machine yeah so everybody's going to start here on Argy I don't know if they've sorted out the order yet maybe they have um but what will happen is the first score on a machine will get recorded because that is the lowest score in the beginning and then as soon as another player scores less than that score they will take over as the worst score yep um the the elimination score essentially yep uh and until someone else puts up a lower score that score will remain and that player sits in the hot seat that's right and that that is an unpleasantly Hot Seat it is a very unpleasantly hot seat I have been in it uh many times and a player will think that they are
16:29
done oh hold on we're getting we're getting a quick announcement from our TD Bri hold on one moment okay she's Gathering all of our players she said she has to redo the order she has to redo the order she has to redo the okay yep all right that hopefully that'll go quick because everybody's already made their first their first choice yeah so so sorry to interrupt it so basically you're in this hot seat you're trying not to get last yes and you've been in this seat tell me about what it's like when you you get up there it's a game maybe like Argy you've played before you've seen before and you just boof it and you put up this like really low score but you still have another 20 players in front of you yes de you just praying for them to do worse I mean little bit uh it's an interesting format where yeah so you hope that everybody's doing poorly or at least one person is doing poorly more poorly than you this is one of those where you really are almost waiting for hoping for people to fail and you never really want to right in pinball you want to cheer each other around but inside there's a little part of you yeah can I survive this yeah can can they maybe just have a worse ball than me yes and you do get a whole game right this is not just a one ball kind of deal full game and so what what you're looking for what you're hoping for is a tap on the shoulder that indicates to you that you have surpassed the low score the the TDS that are standing and watching um will give you that tap on the shoulder and you're like yep I made

    love yes excellent sidebar commentary there she said I'm not going first because I'm confident so I can be done if it goes poorly and just in different words um so the interesting thing is that you I have had myself like fully convinced that I would be exiting the party yeah with a with just a terrible um Bozo score and lo and behold I may survive five more rounds after that thing we were talking about that you gave an example from Tron where it was just like an ultra low score yeah and I can't it was it was sub three million three balls of Tron here sub three million score and the final player yeah was the one who got the lower score yep I won't mention the name I I'm happy to admit that I got a 2.75 million score on Tron I won't tell you who got less I mean really like that to me showcases what a mental game this is because even even in any other competitive format you might not be thinking about not getting last you're thinking about how do I build the best possible score against these other three competitors in my this one you're just freaked out about not getting last it it really like in the early stages of the race like the early rounds the the first and second and third and fourth and even fifth like half probably really halfway through I would say you just want to go get the low hanging fruit right you just you just go get whatever you can get as quickly as you can get it because there's a lot of opportunity for someone to get less than you right later it gets a little bit different that's one of the reasons I think going early in the order can be advantageous right because you're not there's this thing about setting a bar and then rising to that bar that sometimes it works the opposite way when the bar is nice and low you fall just short of that so if you're first you're just playing your best game yeah although players that have different strategies though some players do want to play near the end I tend to find myself wanting to be towards the middle me too I pick halfway through I feel like if it's me I want to be halfway through but it's easy for me to say sitting in this chair I don't have to be out there playing so we can take a look at uh at our players and competitors we won't obviously have any scores yet because everybody is still choosing their their order but let me see if I can bring up a screen and perhaps we can look at just our players this will take me a
    20:28
    second I made a scene just to do this yesterday there it is see if it works oh heavens no if only all right give me one second and we will bring that up let me come back to us and then we'll bring that up and it looks like they they're working pretty well through choosing players everybody seems to be I love your background this year yeah isn't that fun Jason who does our art got like the whole fathom Vibe going I really love and I get to do the animation so I get to make get all watery and
    21:07
    wavy all right let me see if I can fix this thing and then we can actually bring up our players we won't know the order until people start playing
    21:27
    but all right that looks better let's do that one [Music] so let's take a look at our players here yeah um if you look like we have again 24 players all of whom qualified yesterday now again this doesn't show us our um order because even having them buy seed doesn't tell us our order no because they pick what they want right because they pick what they want so Rebecca gets to get first pick of position then Michelle Nicole Diane Jane all the way down the list but we have some pretty fantastic players I'm guessing folks that others have seen before in some of these competitions abolutely and some some new folks I even got to see a couple of Players yesterday that I've never seen compete before so it's really exciting we got like a new crop of players in Louisville uh like Kentucky and a area like I think I'm sure you've seen this you've been in this long enough where you see like these kind of waves of like a new group of pinball players and a wave of a new group of pinball players and it's been it's been fun to watch I I started playing in 2016 and I've seen it happen a few times like few new groups of people and like I end up seeing them post the same pictures that I would have posted when I first got into it like my first Chicago Expo my first trip to the here it's like it's fun to see people get their first pincinnati in and see them enjoy their first their their events for the first time you only get to do that once yep yep yep I mean the the experience of even just going to an event whether you compete or not just going to an event that stays in your mind forever and then your first big competition stays in your mind forever absolutely oh oh that that was that was the move that was the right thing to do I want to see we can't see ball on here so I'm going to have to look I think we're on ball three already if I'm reading that right that's what it looks like to me as well and again she said I chose to go first I wanted to go first which I think is really
    23:27
    cool oh ah let me also post the link friends for the tournament today so that you can go and explore players explore Arenas find out where the person that you're cheering for or the the person who you're cheering for see how they're doing I'd love to know who y'all are cheering for here I'll pin that one to the top we had a little Showdown last night to find out who number 24 was going to be yeah it came down to to Courtney and Laura suak did he single ball tie break it on like Mando or Beatles or no uh big game but not single ball full game full game yeah with big game that makes sense does yep they did a full game on on big game well I would I would hate to have a single ball tiebreaker on that particular Mandalorian really not want I have not played this Mandalorian yet it's disgusting so this is the score to beat 177 870 177 87 okay and that score needs to be beaten in five balls ER sets up his em on five ball
    24:40
    settings now I want to find a good way to like so this is the first year that we're using match play for this so folks will have to bear with us to see how we get match play in the little Windows uh because it's not one of those things we could test beforeand so we're going to we're going to figure out how to get those scores up give me a minute uh to figure that out as we get scores put in you're looking at Laura suac now who was uh our 24th seed so got really no choice in order and ended up in second place second position so it's w nice nut to stay in okay love so as soon as well if I should say if Laura gets 177k mhm she will get a tap on the shoulder telling her she is good to go that's right she'll yeah and she will actually move on to the next game so she will set the bar for the next machine if she surpasses the score yeah I mean race moves on from game to game rather quickly how cool is that right that you you're in the middle of playing and all of a sudden you get a tap on the shoulder that says you're all good yep I've had that happen a couple of times in just regular match play and that feels extra good oh wow you got you got the you got the runaway game yeah all right not a bad start for Laura I think she's probably pretty happy with that start we're on ball two now again 177 is the target to beat and I'm going to find some kind of way to show scores as we go it's not as as intuitive as it was because it's a different format now but we are going to find a way to do
    26:15
    that she's got her gate open from hitting the top rollover top middle rollover mhm and this is a five ball game so bear that in mind is there she got there 4K so feel pretty good about this going into B she got 10K bonus already so she can don't tilt yeah I see some cheering for Deborah tman in there Liz absolutely Nicole Jen Jay Doris love to have the the entire fan crew here to cheer on their favorite players I the score is surpassed supposed to be uh unbiased but I'm also cheering for Laura as
    26:54
    well there you go got a double high five you're good Awesome Moving On so our TD Bri will plunge that off and move on while Laura moves on to our second game Sharky shootout and we will bring up our third competitor the game remains at 177 let me do a little exploring on how to keep these scores up on the screen for
    27:20
    you while we watch and Sean I will make it so that you can actually see what's going on oh I can't make it so you can see what's going on this is your only hope yeah uh Lauren says sized image there yeah that's going to be hard to work with huh ra says I love Brie Lauren says cinan Holly kinan deserves a big win too Holly had a big win earlier this week in the uh strikes turny but why not make it
    27:53
    too so in just a second you will see our third competitor yeah they don't have scores posted for some reason yet so we're going to I wonder if it doesn't populate until the whole game is complete that would be you think so I have no idea I'm just that would be a bummer if there's nothing there right now and Bri has already entered them yeah that would be a bummer that's a big screen view well let let me see if I can find another way for us to look at it so stay tuned while we wait for our third
    28:39
    player and pinball is happening that's Sydney now a UC student so living in Cincinnati I found out yesterday Sydney has been hanging on around the arcade locally more recently and I was like oh she must have moved here yeah yeah
    28:58
    indeed all right Amazing Race yeah so right now we don't have it's interesting it it it looks as if it should be telling us
    29:09
    right it may be that uh Bri is working on that but friends we know the number is 177 right now and as soon as we have access to the information on for instance Sharky shootout uh or the one that comes after that solar ride then we will happily share that with you it'll just take a moment I think while they get sorted how to get that information in here our Arenas are uh Argy as you can see Sharky shootout solar ride red and Ted's Road show Game of Thrones bad girls and Grand Prix I'm excited to see some bad girls right i' love that I love that especially as an Amazing Race game it's just it's wild I can't yet see standings okay I'm just going to have to live with the fact that we don't yet have that info and and we will enjoy watching Sydney play the number again 177 is the number that Sydney's running think she stepped back right so oh she's just taking a break taking a break yeah nothing nothing super modern in this lineup uh Game of Thrones is the closest we get to to Ultra Modern um but it is definitely a mix not it's going to display inter well did she actually start the tournament I'm wondering so once she has it fully set up and started think I don't
    30:41
    know Eric and Bri are working on getting those displayed so I'll focus on Cindy Wamsley playing she's she's um she's 5K away if she doesn't tilt yeah and on ball three so that looks pretty good yeah she's she's there she's she's got it um as soon as she drains
    31:02
    yeah you can see that bonus building up in the middle on Argy already at 70 so there you go that'll do it that'll do it Sydney gets
    31:19
    through and Bri will give her the go-ahead here in a second and then she will move on to Sharky
    31:29
    shootout a hell of a save what did I miss I saw the ball go out what did I miss oh
    31:50
    okay okay got it thank you so Eric says we think that the big screen view will actually start working for us here in a little bit once we start getting results in so we will be able to see that but uh I don't remember the exact number but 177 is the number to beat I love when that happens he said she was sitting on the post and she nudged it back in oh okay I miss that part that part is always fluming to me because it's on the post do you hit the play field in the direction you want it to go or the opposite so it goes the other way uh I don't know or do you just hit it in hope you know yeah are you trying to move the ball or you trying to move the game right so that's the question you move the game out of the way of the ball or do you use the game to move the ball to move the ball and you can do both right so if you nud you could do if you nudge up get it up out of the way and then move the game oo yeah I like that one yeah usually I tend to hit from the opposite side to move the game under the ball when it's in that situation where it's right on the post yeah I get that but you can also push up and nudge it put some energy on it and put it back in if you ask a TD to take care of that ball for you the answer is always out lane out lane out lane every time will assist I will escort that ball to the outlan for you if you would like if you would like me to uh and if there's a tight to on the game that's a good option yeah y escort the ball to the out lane I love that yeah that way you don't have to you don't have to tilt yourself that's right you get your bonus yep so you're watching Doris Bachman DJ Bachman right now our fourth player aiming for that 177 Point threshold and she is with bonus sitting at 105 already
    33:39
    one and it's tempting to think because we've had three players in a row do pretty well that oh that 177 is not going to get touched but that's not how that works that's not how that works y I just realized from this view that the flippers are making a splash in the ocean they are I don't know how I've never realized that I love right down here yeah this view is just a little different than so clever yeah that's so clever little Splish Splash there yeah the one under flipper art that drives me nuts is on a lot of Python's games he would put other flippers Under The Flipper such as in Jackpot so there's your flipper and then there's pictures of other flippers cannot stand it so
    34:22
    confusing ra uh I'm I love this game too and I'll tell you she is so far past the score upon draining on yeah training yeah just let it go one of the reasons I love this game we were talking about this yesterday is that it has a slingshot that advances bonus yes you don't see that very often so it's actually good to hit that sling which is kind of weird we have two games that do that here in this tournament not not an amazing race but here at pincinnati Trident does that does it really yeah all of those slings and uh switches that are on all of those all the flat rubber spaces on Trident Advanced bonus wait where's Trident I've never played it's in the annex oh cool all right that's a Steve Kirk game oh very nice does it have the post it does you can Kirk pass on it nice y was Stars a Steve Kirk game it is yeah Stars meteor Trident um I don't know the I don't know if he has other ones meteor is a pretty big claim to fame though that CERN made a lot of meteors yeah yeah meteor was also I found out uh not the first but maybe the second licensed film Game I've heard that that's a Sean connory film it is of which I've never watched and probably never will nobody has ever I watched it I went and found it because I owned a meteor so I just had to see I also own a meteor yep it's worth it believe it or not all right it's a movie about it's a movie about Cold War tension okay and so if you look at the back glass of meteor you've got these American missiles and these Russian missiles right okay imagine America and Russia are locked in the middle of the Cold War which is when it was made 1979 right okay and there's a meteor coming toward Earth and they have to work together or destroy each other one of the two it's very much the plot of Armageddon basically so is is it like The Hunt for Red October where Sean Conor plays a Russian oh my gosh absurdly with an Irish accent or sorry I don't know a Welsh accent whatever it is SC Scot he um I think he plays an American in this one but but also with a Scottish accent well yeah that makes a little more sense than a Russian was yeah it's it's a decent movie it's actually better than you think it's going to be
    36:30
    one of the other things I like about this game is you can stack up Awards on the scoop and collect them all at once yeah so you can you can keep hitting down these drop targets and not only will it build value here but it will also start adding these bad boys now the first one saucer value yep first one's double bonus which is great and you could just stop there but you can also add these other free prizes that shot right there was a prime example of how you don't shoot the S like you you don't shoot it you you happen into that saucer on this game I I don't feel like it's a very common thing that a player hard to shoot itly intentionally shoot that shot directly you know what's funny is we saw it yesterday and we were seeing that exact thing never shoot this and then somebody hit it right
    37:28
    refres 699 uh hold on one nope this keyboard hold on I don't know does it have a bit of a delay yeah and sometimes it just randomly types for you oh W one six nine another player is Advanced on
    38:06
    Argy maybe that'll help okay we need sorry there we go I can show this if it's helpful Eric we are starting to get scores into match play so if you guys are following along you just saw Liz clear on Argy
    38:54
    view okay and hope hopefully it'll populate there okay you put that same number
    39:06
    okay that explains it there's no broadcast view uh but you can see how we're doing here Nicole is still stuck at 177 on Argy so that's still the target there over on Sharky shootout which we're not yet watching Laura sukle has the low score at 29 million solar ride we're still waiting to find out so uh that is super helpful let's go back to our all games cam Courtney is at Courtney has it if she drains right now there you go I will say it's the hardest thing in the world even if you know your bonus is enough you're not going let them don't let it go nope I'll just keep playing thank you status report sometimes on a on a DMD to to LCD game and be like what is my end ball bonus yeah and oh I got it I'll play very gingerly uhhuh yeah you're still not going to let it go you just just play light yeah just play very light
    40:02
    so our TDS Josh Bri I think we may have another couple TDS are just there to confirm hey yeah you got the score you can move on it's super important in The Amazing Race because you don't play a full game necessarily once you pass that score you need somebody to say you're done you're good yeah we're not seeing a lot of those shoulder Taps we talked about are we it just kind of yeah not really at that place yet not yet I think once the tournament really gets flowing we'll see more of that people get eliminated yep we it's just everybody's so nervous at first especially even the TDS are nervous like I don't want to shoulder tap you too early or whatever but we will eventually get there yeah Sterling's dead that's
    40:43
    right all right Valencia Kelly we saw some phenomenal play on stream from Valencia yesterday
    40:52
    catch and and don't worry you're not going to watch Argy all day we will move through some of the other games hopefully soonish soonish y so you won't see every player every game we're going to move around and kind of follow each game a little
    41:11
    bit Blended traps left looks like maybe going for that scoop yeah look it appear looking for the saucer oh look at that that is a killer right there center right in the middle and I love the art I really love the art on this machine and I like how that pop uper kind of appears into here cuz you don't see it coming it sneaks up on you we did
    41:38
    eventually yeah the real one it took us a while we got I know I could watch Argy all day too but uh we do want to see some of our other games AR all day so we'll move to another game here in a little bit
    41:59
    I might follow Valencia down to Sharky so we can see that one okay I don't know why I just wanted to put a dollar on the glass of Game of Thrones just so you can jump in there maybe and play no so somebody could see a bill on Game of Thrones oh oh see a bill sorry it's terrible I saw a bob on Game of Thrones yesterday I don't I don't know if I saw Bill a Robert I saw a Travis M muy too built I think the stream did yeah that was pretty awesome
    42:31
    what amazing players we have this year at this tournament I me we always have great players but both the women's tournament the match play tournament this so many players came early for the Thursday night tournament uh 140 in our Mega Match play I mean it's a it's a big crew it's a big crew Eric's first all right I'm going to go move us Stern pro circuit
    43:09
    Sean how goes it it's going okay how are you doing all right it's good to see you good to see you uh where you at in the in the things I haven't started yet I'm uh I'm like 14th yeah I'm waiting for Argy um I had a good Argy game yesterday um but you know that that never means anything for for a new day so knowing that on aracy if you don't tilt you start with a base score of 50k how does that make you feel um always good yeah uh is that is that the scenario or is this a hypothetical no it's not a hypothetical you start at 10K bonus every time you walk up to a ball in Argy and so with it being a five wall game yeah you start with a base value of 50k okay and you're look if you don't tilt yeah yeah yeah so you're and you're looking for 177 okay that's a good that feels that has to feel I I like the way that you put that that's good that's a good way to frame it right for sure really need 127k okay I I had a decent game yesterday so the lowest right now is 177 said okay 177 okay um and part of the reason I picked a lower uh seed uh was so I could you know let let a few people go in front of me see if there's a lower score but I also it was funny I was talking to somebody yesterday about that cuz I've never uh I I did fairly well I came in seventh in qualifying yesterday so I got to pick but that hasn't been the case for me the past and I was like well well obviously I want to be last right but then I start thinking about it like well no I don't want to be last then there's nobody after me to pick it up if I mess up so so it's 24 players right uh something like that yeah what number did you pick uh 14 so I'm somewhere in the middle toward I wanted to be towards the back end but not the very last so my pick has been somewhere between the middle and like 3/4s right I want to be like I like that past the half but not at the end yeah all right so I haven't played so we're moving over to Sharkies right I have I played one game earlier on this I know very little um as as is typical with pinball I shoot for the flashing lights and that's about all I know so far Matt go this is Matt goin's game and he said it's eight ball Deluxe okay uh just with a a few extra rules so yeah yeah you can only get the mystery once uh it has a 20% chance of awarding multia um and beyond that I don't really know anything I have only played it with when I show it up on I I do see a lock shot I I don't that's not helpful for for viewers um I see a below the mystery shot I don't know what I'm doing so I'm going to stop playing around you can you can enter that shot yeah from the loop so from the upper flipper okay from the upper down from the like right below that mystery ball so there's a flashing light directly below the mystery ball and that the same place okay
    46:09
    okay it is hard to keep the um keep it together a little bit of like what the what's the current score to beat um I heard that match play in the past has not been very good at at tracking this but I've heard there's been a lot of changes and it's actually gotten a lot better so tracking it on Match play is a little bit new for me but I'm used to using like a Google sheet or something like that to follow Amazing Race because you played in two at the barn yeah Y and did you play any before that I don't think so I missed uh women's here last year I just couldn't get here in time to sign up okay um but uh yeah so I missed it last year um oh Justin you don't have to update my name cuz I'm going to be playing here in a bit but you're the best I appreciate you I am not Justin Masters and I don't mean to I it's not an impostor I am Hannah Schwab I appreciate
    47:06
    it some days I want him to show me how all of this works but then there's other days where I know that that's just a bad idea for everyone if I start great power comes great responsibility can I be trusted with that responsibility I was just saying like I don't know you might get pushed into something you don't want to do that's a fair point too I think I know some people at work who uh who by some philosophies around that too you got to love that I'm there I'm going to drop the flipper let this trap go drop the mic it's kind of a fun feeling sometimes like all right I don't have to I can I can walk this away we were talking about that like the tap on the shoulder that says you're you're good you don't have to play any more pinball now until the next game so looks like 29 is the one to beat on uh sharies is what I'm seeing good to know and looks like that's uh is that Laura on Sharkies oh so okay so that what that means is also is that Laura has been in the hot seat continuously he played it first so oh look at that it's got a nice little hop off of that reverse Loop doesn't it really wants to feed that left out lane you know when I played sharies earlier I finished out three balls at 33 so I really don't feel like 29 is is too bad of a score um again like I said the only time I played it was one practice or earlier um so I know very little about it but off hand it doesn't seem like a bad score it doesn't seem too high we were when we first got started this morning talking about this I was telling a story about how I Advanced past a game of Tron in The Amazing Race at the barn with something like 2.75 million oh my go I Advanced with I think sub 3 million wow and that's and you know that's it's funny I Amazing Race is one of the hardest format I think to organize it's there's a lot of things lot of moving Parts I do not envy brief in the slightest but it's also one of the most fun to play in it's yeah it's fantastic it's a really cool thing where you're you never stop uh feeling like you're going to be eliminated right until you're until you win exactly until you win the whole thing it's funny cuz you know I've only been playing pinball about I think this is maybe my third year um second or third year playing and I I've never expected that I'm going to be some Grand Champion or anything always we we want to shoot for the fences you know swing for the fences yeah but um you know I'm I'm not going to be on par with Los or or some of the other major players not that attitude I know sometimes I'm like maybe what do you mean maybe I need to have this conversation in therapy first um but but also like usually my goal when I'm playing is like okay Hannah just just try not to be last like let's that's a reasonable goal for me try not to be last and uh and so but that's like the whole format for Amazing Race literally don't be last or you're gone yeah everyone's going to be last in this race except for if you're not first or last amazing RAC is if you're not first or last Ricky Bobby rules Ricky Bobby at The Amazing
    50:16
    Race yeah someone is getting eliminated every game all right let's see how Diane did that is all right so she's over she's that's plenty y all Hannah I don't see any reason why you can't um play with play with the great you've no no you're right three years is not a lot of time I appreciate that and now it's not that I like think that it'll never happen it's I'm not there yet and I know where you know and it doesn't mean I'm not going to play my best and I'm I'm certainly going to and I'm going to try and when I do I I beat uh I beat uh Sterling yesterday and that was a huge uh uh accomplishment for me Justin was like yeah how do you feel about beating a 12-year-old like okay well when you say it like that thanks for framing thanks a lot that's great but he's s they're all just such competitors so if I can you know inch ahead a little bit I'm going to earn some points and feel good about myself what what I'd like to say about where you're at right now is that uh just enjoy the firsts enjoy the first time you beat Raymond Davidson enjoy the first time that you beat Carlos enjoy the first time that you beat Sterling oh yeah you know that these are these are players that are incredible and uh getting an opportunity to play with them not only is exciting um because we get access to these people in our sport that are Inc right like you don't get to be a person that plays street ball and go play with the great yeah exactly with LeBron but we get to do that we we get to do that we're here doing it right now it's really incredible and I mean it's going to make you better it's going to make you so much better you're absolutely right and honestly to that point cuz I got uh paired yesterday during the main during qualifying uh with Carlos um uh it was Carlos Nate and uh Sterling in on um uh World Cup soccer which I had never played and I was like okay well I feel very good about myself that I got paired with them however I play is however I play you know and so love my first experien is like that were at penberg like 18 18 and 19 penberg yeah um it was just like oh I'm playing with people whose names are on the banners on the ceiling that's it's wild that's interesting it's really really cool to
    52:27
    see and I think I've got some some friends watching um and uh hey Rachel I see you've uh you've been playing five years that's
    52:40
    awesome okay so 21.7 right now and she's what's the score we're looking for 29 29 is what we're looking
    52:54
    for Eric what year is this for pincinnati uh so this is the [Music] yeah yeah okay awesome so six convention this year okay so she's shooting for 29 I think she just got 5 million points there which may have put her we'll see whenever display score again [Music] 29459 so she will continue to shoot but I I would suspect that bonus would be enough to complete the job we'll find out right now the low score we think it's right bonus oh so that's what we're looking it's 29 something 29201 so she's over she's over she's over it's 29201 woo that bonus was only 200k so that was uh yeah yeah that was close not nearly the the bonus we expected to see all right I am up after Michelle on Argy and I don't know who's up right now I don't know what's happening
    54:10
    there so Savor those first like Sean said yeah Rachel you're right absolutely I
    54:18
    will squeaked it by all right I am up in a little bit after Deborah uh on Argy so I will be coming up soon so I'm going to switch over good luck to you good playing thank you so much good chatting with you
    55:00
    oh that uh yeah I got to see what kind of feeds designed there so three three million more points to get there that skill shot was worth 10 million that will do
    55:19
    it so I think that tells me that three skill shots in this game will get you through the
    55:37
    hello everyone hello hey R how are you I'm well thanks how are you I'm good I'm awake that's a good thing to be when you're walking around yeah you know
    56:12
    exist yeah we need somebody who can actually do you know knows the games the tech he knows the tech I know the pressure we we did an amazing race this summer up in Columbus yeah and I think there were at the bar at the barn yeah and there were 50 some women I think I can't remember the number oh that's right because there was an amazing race women's and then there was the then there was the main event there was the all main event so we have the main event on Saturday which you play rounds to qualify to be in the finals to play the Amazing Race part women's the night before we go straight into Amazing Race started oh it's it begins as an amazing race it begins that's fantastic just the amazing a we started at 6:00 at night we finished at 3:00 in the morning it was that's gring quite
    57:11
    interesting so Tracy L I think is was playing okay which game are we still on right oh we're on Sharkies which is a rough game and she is looking to get 20 I forgot 27 million maybe
    57:35
    okay you're good so this is an interesting game because it has different places where the ball can drop in like right there there's that little drop in right by the eightball yep yeah baby yeah they forgot the scoop part of that scoop didn't they Rita yeah that square hole yep it's just a square hole that drop just Bonks off the back and falls in the hole that that was the shot I was finding a whole lot yesterday the pop bumper finds it a lot too doesn't it yeah it's just you know oh oh she cleared she cleared the bank having she's got 18 only played this once it I still don't understand the rules set on it and the where you get all your points I also have only played it once or twice Matt this is Matt goin's game and he was like it's just a ball just play it like a ball but it's not aall it's
    58:48
    right the I don't know that that's the new that's the new bar 19,000 yeah yeah and here's the interesting think about Amazing Race you can play one ball you can play all three balls it just depends on how everything flows out that's right you know and you never know who can get like you never know how low the score can go right it can go infinitely low can't it because you could have played this game and just blown it up and then you get into this and it's a whole new ball game that's right and all you're waiting for is somebody to hit your you know come behind you and go you're good you're good you made it those are the best words right
    59:41
    there but this is a really good final you know format cuz it does kind of flow through pretty quickly yeah because somebody's going out every
    59:55
    time you just don't want to be that first one out the multi ball is here I wonder if that was from the uh from the mystery May did Matt told me that there's a 20% chance that the mystery Awards you multiball which is really nice that's a pretty that's pretty good odds for a free multiball
    60:29
    she I can't tell where it doesn't give you the running score very well either so which is typical there's 14 point it's up there 14.9 plus whatever that jackpot is so 19 that's that's it that's probably she she's through she's
    60:48
    there very good do it again this is a hard Bank yes it is are we going all the way through I what's are we going bad girls oh wait wait maybe it go it might go to Grand Prix does it go through Grand Prix and then starts
    61:10
    over oh we're not uh so we're not getting kind of the score support that we need on on Sharkies right now cuz she's there yeah somebody's not [Applause] see I knew you it's kind of the tendency to just want to keep playing until right until someone tells you you're the ball's yeah until the ball's over but yeah pretty sure it was 19 yes so I think Jin's given her that you're good no Bri is oh very very good you've doubled the score oh nice
    62:00
    then again if it's done on the first ball TD has to go and drain the other two balls get it ready for the next player get it ready for the next
    62:11
    player all right y'all I'm going to step away it's been a pleasure being here chatting about pinball with you good see you see you Sean take care you're playing later right
    62:37
    getting getting Sharkies all set up for the next okay and it looks like we are Ming over just s a
    63:18
    yeah Justin's got this so well set up he can change us in a moment yeah that keyboard's
    63:27
    weird there you go we got Brent joining us yep so Brent have you played this format before I have um not very well though I pr like twice it it it is very different but it's a lot of fun yes I I would agree with that all right who do we have up uh
    64:06
    think this is Michelle I don't recognize everyone I met a lot of people yesterday and doing qualifying for
    64:23
    this yeah here this Melle scar bar okay yeah and she's moving on 19 is now the bar
    64:34
    yeah yeah I was F on this game yester KAG handle on it have enough main ter yet you just wanted to stay in those bumpers and pop into that little square skip as much as possible it it seems that it seems that that SC that right here kind of it it feeds her cuz it goes like R rough to like the pop bumper like it's like usually the scoo goes like down but actually goes down and the skill shot I mean you have to just hit it just right because you hit that skill shot I think it's an immediate 5 million where for 5,000 which you know that's very a lot for I mean you like be like one four away there it was 5 million yeah you're like one fourth away there if you get the SK shot yeah it's all numbers yeah so but great thing about Amazing Race you can play one ball you can play three balls yeah prefer you want to for one ball and just want to get over with that is the preference
    65:56
    yeah my first Amazing Race was at our home bar of level one in Columbus and we were playing Guardians of the Galaxy and everybody told me to choose quill I had quill set up and hit my bumper and went to some really lame where no points were scored so first Amazing Race I had the dubious honor of being the first one yeah that's something similar to me I you know I had my first M so I was the first one remated on through Fighters I just that one I just kind of get out my head a little bit it's like I could be able to beat this very easier he's like no you know and you're just like okay all right you just got to shake it off and go okay so we're going to go on solar ride we're going on solar ride
    67:00
    s so so most of this game is pretty much it's pretty much a bonus uh so you have the in here right and big going order so 2x 3x 4X and then 5x okay um you correct you can get bonus for the in some drop targets these rollovers here and eventually will max out to uh I think 29,000 but this it has those fun double flippers which are real interesting cuz you got to really figure out where your shot is yeah and where you want to shoot it off of now this is a really interesting game because it looks like an older Playfield with a more modern
    67:57
    scoring those this is a early gy saw State and usually while this era gy has some very weird roles that they like to put in in their games I just I I I think I kind of love the way this looks it feels like a Frankenstein and then again there's a shot yeah you can take it right back into your well she also she also CS her bonus by going through up here yep but do reset her bonus oh if you get the scoop
    68:35
    here and there's three scoops on this one there's the one at the top and the two on the sides or is this not the game I'm thinking no there's only two scoops oh there's one there yeah there's one on the
    68:52
    right that you have to yeah yeah let's see a yeah what is our I don't know what our goal is on this
    69:05
    one all right so score be is 84 570 okay well and and Tracy man to do that very
    69:26
    quickly and we're at 160 yeah she's well beyond it I think she's trying to drain out the other
    69:37
    ball yeah this also this game has like a very quick ball save yeah your Blanket's gone
    69:49
    yeah I only played it once yesterday so just trying to get the feel of it yeah yeah order to get bonus Parts you have to like go in order uh on the top but you also get B you also get bonus more part okay sorry all right you're good you can also get your bonus more parts by um comping the drop targets the ones on the side yeah yeah there's only ones that drop targets I'm not sure what I'm not sure if the skill shot will then you bonus M or not but this is like also first I've seen the skill shot actually be a thing cuz I heard s right before out notification and that do not have a skill shot option also do not have a ball save
    70:43
    option we got Jen roer up there right now yeah so this is her ball
    71:03
    tops and she should be there almost a little bit further y she got it Y and she obviously looks relieved yep
    71:25
    Y and we have a bank of seven games so once we get through that bank seven competitors will be
    71:34
    eliminated and then we start all over on Argy again all right think us we're waiting for the next uh the stuff up here
    72:01
    all right now we're going on j z stepping up here so score to be is 85,000 well 84 84 570
    72:22
    though oh talk about talk about other forces right people have mixed feelings about the player
    72:40
    Camp yeah I think like in terms of like why have like a good oh that was brutal
    72:56
    think can't like just the camera the score cam R it down the ball all right so this is ball for you know yeah I think yeah Jay had a okay so skill shot is worth goinging 10K but does not Advance bonus on the fire yeah I think those flippers have been brutal for her oh I think unfortunately we're now at a new 60 is the new 6 5 60 is our new new new uh our new base yeah so with that um now Vero is able to go on to the next uh machine uh the next machine yeah it it it sounds better to say base than low
    73:50
    yeah yeah now now we're get skill shot it's like yeah I don't think you should good for skill shot you should always try to you should always try to uh bonus modier on the on the left but it's very tough to to get that
    74:06
    properly you need you you need basically you need like the the shots basically like just like be like nothing but net yep it it needs to like Avo that uh stopper on the very top
    74:25
    left and it keeps you a little a little bit of you can shimmy it a little bit not a lot yeah yeah yeah also like these like those inserts is like bait bait tens are not um like going but you could carry them you carry the ball a little bit if you dodge it if you ddge it right
    74:48
    right just kind of want to let it pop into the pops and go back up into the in Lanes from the pops you know that that is always the best feeling yeah cuz it stays up there for a
    75:03
    while want to say thank you to everybody that's on the stream appreciate it greatly you are watching the finals
    75:15
    of women's pincinnati it's in an amazing race form all right so this is um s SS uh she managed to get the skill shot but she does get a ball save right here which again that that oh she almost had it she almost had the 2x right
    75:39
    there and again oh yeah so oh yeah the one oh yeah I forgot to mention one thing about this so it actually does remember if you have gone through like previous spin raids before so you can actually once you get twox if you have gone through like the the next if you gone to the one that's the freax you also will pick up your fre X so it Stacks yes which is nice yes it will stack
    76:10
    oh all right she got it right there she's here oh yeah so it looks like the skill shot is 10K but and then add another 10K for every um skill shot you made for your three so she is through to the next so right now we are doing solar ride which is game three of this Amazing
    76:41
    Race hi Evan in Pennsylvania good to see [Music] you yeah why you're not here
    77:02
    so if you're not familiar with Amazing Race and I'm sure everybody watching pretty much is that has joined us but the lady started on arasy and who put up whoever put up the lowest base score on arasy is waiting to see if anybody will go lower than them and once that base score is exceeded a player will move on to the next game which in this place is Sharky shootout and then same thing and then it moves on to solar ride and then to Road Show and to Game of Thrones to bad girls and then to Grand Prix oh no Jane scissor herself right there oh Jane that's only ball one right yeah that was ball
    78:05
    Chicago oh quite an accomplished player oh oh you see what happened she she made for the gate but inste going down more what corrected bonus it actually went back up to the back to the upper Playfield all and then straight down the center which was rough but she's good yeah she's got it out she's good
    78:30
    Jane is quite a formidable quite a formidable um competitor PR sure she she's God she just gain some more extra time extra practice I think she's just breathing right now yeah it's like it's like told her
    79:01
    okay okay all right looks like we're going to R yeah so you and we're going to get a new crop of people who want to come play which is here on commentating which is great so just going
    79:24
    toer and they're moving it to Road show right before you got to see Holly cinin play on solar ride and Holly Holly on Thursday night beat out 77 other competitors in a progressive strike tournament I took home quite a nice little
    80:00
    see if we're going to try to update the move the thing to and Thursday night was the leadup to the tournament this weekend and there were 78 people just for that which was a lot of excitement okay so what do we know about Road Chef all right uh well first so the score to be is uh 48 48 uh 638 uh 634 430 basically got like 49 million you're good okay so so the thing about so so the way I was s the part shows you basically want to like uh hit you basically want to hit this and and you want to go to Friday and then once you get to Friday um you're your you um your multiple box are
    81:29
    all right so there's yeah so two heads yeah so yeah so you want to go like Friday okay and then so each hit on the head is a new day yeah well on his head yes so and then your rock will be qualifi here so once you and basically you just so once you go two balls locked here this thing will open up and then you have to hit in his mouth and that will start your MC and then there's other things you could do you could you could play modes and your mode which modes is good here but at the beginning it always starts at New York or Miami okay um I sold that the mode for New York is um terrible so if anything you want to Hope is onate and you could change um where your mode is don't be a stranger right here on a St up so that's kind of like the basic idea of Ro ah yeah 49 she's through
    82:45
    yep so I think we got what on Ro at the moment so next up should be it's j rer
    83:07
    oh yeah so seeing you actually going for the skill shot you actually just want and get fre get a free hood on the on T's mouth
    83:27
    there's a lot of graphics on this one that you yeah so so so while you're in a mode you can't Advance your progress towards most of
    83:47
    all got like 2 million off of that off of that and the ball save on this one is pretty generous
    84:09
    yeah well you could actually like like you can use that ball to like a dark hit on the on the pH for free for the most part all right just going to need to get about three which yeah
    84:28
    couple good shots will well so Advance her so she yeah so she's got a rock qualify so actually I would just go for the I would G for the skull shot right here at this point cuz there is no point of hitting the mouth yeah she go she shoots through cuz our base score on this game currently is 48,6 or 48,6 34,43
    85:22
    good so Jen will move on to Game of Thrones y [Music] all seven games have players on them
    85:45
    [Music] here you can tell you wanted to do she did not want St that mod but unfortunately unfortunately for that mode I am not afid of
    86:18
    you well well she's on the mo now so she could continue Advance her progress on on Mon w
    86:28
    and this game has two upper flippers it's got one up near the top oh yeah and then the smaller
    86:46
    there I have a friend who calls those a card flipper all right so first is s our mode uh so basically she needs to get the ball right right here best way doing that is actually going through here and basically the ball and she and she's done and she's through yeah part probably not the the way she uh had it in her head of theia but
    87:31
    she's just kind of looking at okay we're [Music] good and again whole lot of fun to play in this format and if you're watching we are at the pincinnati women's tournament finals and it is in an amazing race format all of these women competed for 3 hours yesterday to get here and it's basically the top half of the
    88:09

    race okay I think we got enough Road Show I think we get y'all like Road show but you know give of thrs will be fun yeah we don't worry we we're going to eventually SP up T on all the games because Game of Thrones is the one that it really does depend on player choice
    89:46

    92:37
    [Applause] Thrones you want to sit okay here give me just a couple minutes if you want to put your name in right here I never guess at other people's names anymore I've gotten it too wrong too often see if it does it work when youp work really okay give it a second hold on sometimes it connects poorly now it's thinking about it we have not been playing motorial yep we've not been playing motoros we've just been kind of explaining the basis this keyboard's a little weird this is a very weird keyboard yeah oh my go and it's adding letters yeah I you almost have to do it one letter at a time and then wait I don't know what it is with this keyboard it is a capital w I was wondering that yeah all right man thank you you're welcome awesome and I am not Rita Stevenson but I'm about to put Lewis bevans in this seat I just wanted to uh to pop in and welcome you to the stream and say I'm glad you're here you could not have a better partner than Lewis they are they know every rule ever in every game ever so so you are like a few months old as long as it's a few months as long as it's been out a little bit um and friends I'm going to keep working on trying to get the scores up so right now it's working for Game of Thrones thanks for hanging in there while we figure out this technology cuz it's brand new and Andreas has been awesome about like trying to get new features so stay tuned you know we're going to keep working on getting that score it looks like it's working now thanks for your patience I'm going to put Lewis in here and uh
    94:17
    enjoy hello everyone let me go ahead and sign the name in here quick
    94:35
    you oh wow the uh whatever connection is going on in this uh keyboard right now is definitely a little Jank I uh thought I thought it was a user error not a uh yeah you have to pretty much do one letter at a time all right so are we chilling out on Game of Thrones for a little bit here yep all right so I want to do it slower PR backspace yeah all right so Game of Thrones I believe the target score right now is 8 million uh which on Game of Thrones not exactly a lot oh yeah uh one second got you oh she got an outl ball save yep uh she knocked down the targets on the left she's already good to go uh Game of Thrones unfortunately we had some someone get 8.9 million which isn't going to knock you out yet but definitely uh is going to be a quick hurdle to jump if you know what you're doing on this game yeah you can like on this game you can do so poorly that you get like Lally less than a million oh my goodness I saw some like six-digit scores during uh come [Music] on oh thank you uh Lauren uh we'll definitely get to that at some point but but uh right now we've got some wonderful ladies running through the finals of the pincinnati women's Amazing Race uh they played 3 hours I think they jammed in like eight nine rounds yesterday and they have been doing such a wonderful job we're already on the second lap uh there's a big line up at Argy right now yeah Argus is a bit of a long player especially cuz it's fball oh yeah and there's also a line at red and Ted right now uh Dian spackman the low score of 48 that's actually um behind Game of Thrones right now is actually not a bad score to have an amazing race uh low score on yeah I have no CL how to play that
    97:00
    let see if I can change this [Music] Banner yeah if you're just trying to catch up to like 8 million on Game of Thrones I say Your Best Bets probably just go upper play field just full plunge up there just stay up there get your 3x multiplier or literally pick anybody and shoot a shot yeah uh so like what Holly did there is chose Tyrell uh choosing Tyrell uh will light the ti rail mode which all you got to do is shoot a ball up the ramp and you got 10 million points yeah so there's a lot of ways to go about it uh depending on how you feel there's a ball save so you could go short plunge and just start a mode and shoot a shot you could just go uper Playfield and complete one uh or two sets up
    98:07
    she got the score yeah oh yep she got the score in one shot it was actually pretty impressive uh sorry for the technical difficulties on the display right now um we're working through it um I believe this is the first match play Amazing Race at least of this caliber that's been streamed so we've got a whole new set of technology and uh we woke up uh Andreas at the ripe hour of 700 a.m. Western time Pacific time sorry uh so going Martel yep straight to the upper play field Nicole stepping up to the game straight up to the upper play field didn't get them all but there she go starts
    98:54
    mode going to pick's going to pass yeah oh wow out lane ball save also very helpful yeah also I mean even just like the shots to light modes give you some points on this game so you could chip away especially if you could shoot some combos oh does she see what she under 38 so she's not there
    99:23
    yet hits a castle Awards close finishes up the three bank and if she just punches it through or even hits the castle that's going to be good yeah three Bank castle that is like you said another way you can run this right now we've got a Target score of 8.9 um I'm going to just go ahead
    99:47
    and see if I can where is that yeah and if if you feel really dialed in on that Center ramp you can probably just do that the whole time just get you get that quick 9
    100:00
    million combo points can be pretty decent on this game oh yeah I mean the fact that the combos give you shot multipliers even just like comboing two shots together to spot a bunch of houses can do a lot of work and like that just plunging up there and immediately hitting the castle turnaround if you come from the kicker you get a one timer at the castle and you can just immediately move a stage up in the multi ball which will give you 5 million now the one problem with Lannister is you got to hit targets which very dangerous like that like you just saw but that's all right there still two balls to go yeah Rebecca's already at 6 million that is a great spot to
    100:53
    be T go back down to the lower Playfield B save yep she likes the backand on the um the center ramp which I I love too on this particular Game of Thrones I feel like that can be very easy way to just get it up there I feel like it's a lot easier than most Game of Thrones yeah I've been told by a lot of people that you should watch out for this Game of Thrones and I played it in practice and I'm just like this isn't too bad this isn't as Infamous as I thought it would be all right since we're having some technical difficulties there you go let me just slide that up she walks away safe yep so we're going to have a little bit of a break uh looks like the red and Ted uh traffic jam is uh still going uh let me see if I can uh figure out
    102:14
    some oh let's do bad girls I love bad girls it was a uh it was a good girl to me yesterday
    102:26
    all right since we got a little bit of a traffic jam here we're going to actually slide over to the next game down bad girls which I'll grab the score for you right here in a second 160
    102:44
    270 yep we're going to slide on in 160,000 yep 160,000 is the score to beat
    102:58
    now bad girls you could definitely get some really low scores on this game yeah but you know what oh no I forgot that he turned off the um uh the extra points that he gives you yeah you can't uh you can't scratch your way through this one unfortunately yeah um but good but I played this yesterday and I was going into ball three with like 300,000 so I uh definitely can say you can have some really rough goes of this game y uh so I believe let me get the get the line refreshed here um we are waiting on Sam Arnold who will be uh finishing up Game of Thrones here in a few seconds or minutes um but otherwise uh what do you think of the show so far oh it's wonderful uh I've been coming here for about 3 years and every year it's just better nice it's always better this is actually my first pincinnati so I'm glad to finally make it out here oh wow yeah I know I saw you at um uh the summer cback so you started to come uh to tournaments around around this area a little bit um I mean from Pittsburgh to Cincinnati isn't too bad um we did also uh lose two of our uh lovely pittsburghers to Columbus so if you see uh morit and uh Jared Schmidt around a lot more those are um x uh Pittsburgh xats who've uh moved out here CU Stacy got a job with uh pins mechanical doing Tech work oh nice oh uh I stand corrected um Courtney will be playing next as the new score to beat on Game of Thrones is 4.9
    104:54
    million well yeah I know anybody from uh the Kentucky area or the Southern Indiana area like I know yeah those are the only people I know well the more you the more you move around the more you travel the more you get to meet a lot of people it's a good time playing travel pinball yeah I mean 49 women came out for this event it's been such a uh it's been such a nice Collective of folks from all over uh I mean a lot of people from Ohio from Kentucky from Indiana since we're right on the border of pretty much all of those States and Ohio well you still have to drive a few hours but you can get to Cincinnati pretty easily yeah I I wish I could travel a little bit more but um I have a car but I can't drive it yet um I actually went to go take my Perma test on Thursday nice and uh it took me 5 minutes cuz I failed the eye test uhoh which I didn't I didn't know there was problems with my eyes so well congratulations you uh found out finally yeah it's only my right eye though ah okay so I can like I can still see and read and everything perfectly fine it's just if I have an ey pad my left eye I can't read So Courtney is up on the game had a rough ball one uh already into ball two uh score to beats 160 she has some full balls so at this point up to the top yeah it's like it's mostly a don't tilt at this
    106:24
    point uh uh she has enough in bonus to be able to carry her at this point very oh yeah finding that eightball from the lower flipper is always fun even if it's just like oh I need 160,000 well at least they know that for next time yeah for safety on this game I like to I like to start out with a short plunge and then hold my side flipper up and then um as soon as the ball touches any part of that flipper let go of it let it dead bounce off the left comes to the safe trap on the right all right and then just hammer on the eight ball Target uh so uh updates uh Jay Denham will be going out in 22nd Place with 6,560 on solar ride o that's a tough game oh yeah no that's actually not a bad solar ride score I mean this one plays a little bit more generously because of the Pascal boards but 60,000 on solar ride was not what I was expecting to be the go out score in the first round yeah uh Stacy Moritz now stepping up uh speaking of Stacy like we were talking earlier uh the Pittsburgh xat well actually say the Portland xat turned Pittsburgh xat turned Columbus native well I just stayed in
    107:36
    Kentucky it's a lot of moving oh yeah that that is a it's a lot of moving um she actually moved out during the pandemic uh was the uh former manager of Kickback pinball Cafe in Pittsburgh and then uh when we opened up a pins mechanical she uh became a manager over there
    107:56
    again rough ball one but knocking down a bunch of pool balls is definitely going to help you out um the bonus similar to like a lot of other games involving pool if you knock down that bonus you're guaranteed to carry that through and that outlan is going to do it right there in this situation I would probably just short plunge it and then just try to drop catch um from the left and then just shoot my right orbit all day oh yeah this is definitely one of those actually similar to eightball Deluxe a game where you can shoot an orbit and just ignore the rest of the game and it works
    108:36
    yep I love ignoring most of the game yeah it's great uh so I believe uh Teresa Roth either has is up on Game of Thrones right now so we're g to see her go uh Diane spackman uh has gone out with 48 634 430 on red and Ted's Road Show for 21st Place uh Teresa will be the last player on Game of Thrones uh so she needs to beat 4.8 million from Sam Arnold and then we'll see uh the last game on Bad Girls yep uh right now there is a log Jam up at Argy
    109:32
    you can actually uh hear the dinks of Grand Prix which is to the right of this game as well um after this last game I think we're going to move to solar
    109:51
    ride yeah have you played this uh Trident back there oh the Trident is amazing so for um for the HUD day match play because uh we needed so many games there is actually a supplementary room uh that does that has a bunch of games that are in the tournament uh for women since we have uh the ability to broadcast only the main room here which is in the lobby of the holiday in uh we've decided to keep the games here uh we actually have one of the walls of games uh used for the bank today uh so let's see yeah I've been looking at uh been looking at that Silver Slugger back there o yes 1800 uh so Teresa Roth will be going out in 20th Place with 1.1 million on Game of Thrones Sam Arnold will be stepping up to bad
    110:53
    girls bad girls and dudes and dudes I'm a dude I'm on there
    111:02
    I'm I'll just leave it at that yeah yeah I picked up uh during the tournament I somehow played a monster game and I ended up with like 12 million nice which I really needed cuz I had just played some awful games the whole night before that oh my goodness I feel you uh so Sam stepping up here with her ball one already getting some good spinner work it's a th000 a spin it adds up if you're looking for 160 at this
    111:33
    point looks like she's trying to go for the very Target I can't really tell though uh very Target might be missing the
    111:45
    orbit the orbit is very late on this game yeah that is something as somebody who doesn't play a lot of bad girls found that out the interest way okay she is good to go so that will be Tracy low going out in 19th Place on Bad Girls I believe it is uh time for us to move the rig so I'm going to grab hey Eric
    112:14
    Eric so we're going to go ahead and get kind of to the front of the line here since we are getting very close to the end of our first rotation uh we we have about three people left on Grand Prix and we have 10 people waiting in line on Argy oh wow uh for reference uh Sydney Wamsley low score on Grand Prix at 125 440 Sarah Quan low score on Argy with 27690 Sharky shootout 20 million 7 uh 793 100 Liz McDaniels and solar ride uh Lara sulac at 8250 uh Doris Bachman is setting up the first score to beat on red and Ted at the
    113:05
    moment little motorial yep little motorial shout outs to Eric for uh running everything helping with the stream just being an straight up awesome dude uh so I will go ahead and get the score updated he's got an awesome selection of games too oh my goodness I mean this is Collective of people I mean he's brought a lot of the his classic uh games that he brings to a pincinnati like the Game of Thrones here um hot trash I've heard um yeah h i mean or hot rash hot rash yeah um I mean I love hot tip so when I saw it called hot trash I took offense to that and then I played it and I looked at everybody I'm like I understand why you call this game hot trash my buddy Ste nice longer is playing the tournament was house sitting for me and he obviously playing all weekend yeah and I he didn't even tell me and I come home and he had put that sign on there and I was like this is hilarious I'm leaving it y oh my gosh I I think the game is fine other than the other than the upward flipper pitch
    114:16
    yeah oh no I understand it's just like one of those things where uh The Flipper pitch really kind of knocks some of the power out of the outer outer shots as
    114:33
    well oh yeah yeah with with the uh Power Shenanigans here it is definitely a interesting copy and that Captain the ball on the right is very like you have to shoot it from the tip of the flipper oh my goodness it's the thing you want to shoot and it is the thing that you unfortunately have to shoot off the tip of the flipper which gets some Shenanigans uh so we are currently waiting for Deborah tman to play her game of Sharky shootout uh the score to beat over there is 20 million uh depending on how skill shots go and depending on how things go could be fast could be slow uh but we are going to be essentially getting ahead of everybody so that we can sit on this game for a while we can hang out yeah I played uh Sharky [ __ ] out for the first time ever yesterday I looked up a mediatorial for it I drew in the tournament it was my 12th game and of course I drew Sterling on it he put up like 200 million oh wait you were the round wasn't that round 11 or was that round 12 I forget okay cuz I was playing the Argy next to you cuz it's like uh Redemption Arc time I'm going to go uh you know throw the first seven games in the garbage and then I win four straight and then it's like me and Raymond like in a KN fight at midnight trying to like get this done get home get the back to the hotel what I've got my I've got my wife that needs to be out here today and uh she needs to get to bed and we need to get some White Castle so oh yeah yeah I played Sharky shootout and I thought it was a I thought it was a wonderful game and then uh I looked up and made it and I was like John it said John Borg and I was like I love John Borg oh yeah all right so it looks like she snagged a Mystery Jackpot and has some bumper pool so assuming there's a few more pop bumpers in Deborah's future or she just beats her opponent she's good to go so we're going to get some uh pinball up here soon I expect there to be some
    116:49
    pinball yeah what's really interesting about this uh solar ride is that you I didn't know this but you have to actually light the in Lane in order for you to even get the bonus X off it yes um you cannot shats this you cannot shats on this version of the game you can't shats no you've tried I've tried okay I will take your word for it I um I'm probably still going to be stubborn and try it anyway yeah that's I feel that but uh Deborah here stepping up to solar ride actually having a solid ball one having a really nice plunge hasn't even had the all touch the flipper yet and she's got 20,000 plus another sorry 30,000 in tow uh with her bonus oh sorry MP by two oh sorry I forgot that gate is super wiggly so uh she's good as long as she doesn't tilt yeah yeah uh this is a uh solar ride with a very Wiggly upper gate so if you see this upper gate up here uh that will give you some that'll give you some points but it'll also Advance your bonus by 5,000 every time that switch closes and it can just rock back and forth and get very Wiggly and you might trigger it multiple times if you hit it hard enough so like right now she's at 39,000 bonus times three her bonus is enough yeah she's got
    118:16
    it that's how you play the game yep and I believe the uh saucer on the right also collects your bonus whenever it's lit uh the saucer over here collects your oh I'm on the wrong screen the saucer right here collects your bonus this saucer gives you 5,000 and 5,000 and bonus oh and if you knock down the drop targets it's how you reset them oh cool yeah I have not had to play this one yet unfortunately yeah this is a pascal board uh solar ride so there's some extra fancy rules like you mentioned you can only get this in Lane when you're at a multiple of 5,000 uh the bonus goes up to 39 ,000 and you have a little bit of a ball save and a little bit of a and a little bit of a skill shot even though the skill shot versus the 2x bonus you kind of have to weigh your options up there yeah which a lot of a lot of times you probably just want to do the 2x bonus cuz bonus is huge on this game
    119:21
    yep uh looks like we have another player who's uh beat their opponent so I don't see what the score is right now but I'm 99% sure we're going to have our next person up on sharies here in a
    119:40
    second yeah I think Michelle oh no Michelle Scarboro right now at 17.7 million hits a skill shot that's going to get her over the top so we're going to see Michelle Scarboro next on um solar ride
    120:00
    yeah uh Nathan Brent yesterday was telling me that if you hit down the uh two the the four white drop white drop targets and then you hit the red one it gives you like a bunch of stuff it gives you a special special yeah it can be it can be worth a lot of points oh yeah the spe I forget what the special points are on this game but it's definitely it's definitely something nice uh so she gets the skill shot it actually did Advance the bonus X I did uh see that um but she had a quick ball there but because she has the 2x bonus 33,000 points already on
    120:41
    Pace oh falls into the 2x nice o all right so 52 540 she's needs 30,000 points here the skill shots actually lined up with the 2X
    120:55
    does she get it she's going to land that that's 20,000 points that's a handful of she's going to get that back on grace period but she's good barring a tilt yeah she was good anyways baring a tilt but uh I guess the game wanted to be nice and not give her that much drama yeah if you could beat it without bonus uh it's a lot better you don't have to sweat out the math doing math and bball at the same time math is overrated anyway and she is good good to go so Michelle Scarboro moving on to the next game uh next up um right now playing shies is Sarah Quan and when she's done assuming she beats the score she'll be moving on to the next
    121:48
    game so what are some of your favorite games of this tournament so far um I love that trident um I play jaws and it's the best Jaws I've ever played oh yeah that is a really nice playing Jaws y I almost got to a Fourth of July during the tournament oo very nice again um yeah during the NK Y open I did end up getting it Fourth of July but I was this time I was I was literally one shark hit away from it wow but still I won with uh 500 million here you
    122:29
    go which walking it was uh all my points were just gotten on ball three wow I didn't know that um I don't know if it's like a comp setting or whatever but um I played my my moo Bounty multiball and I didn't finish it and so it let me repick the Bounty for the makeup huh which was really weird I had never seen that before what you failed it yeah yeah yeah if you fail it you can redraw it now so you're not just locked out of the award oh that's
    123:02
    nice yeah but um what's really cool though is that whenever I did do the whenever I did do the multiball again like my bounty value was huge oh yeah because of how many like in lanes and stuff I got yeah the bounty on that also gets kind of out of control now with all the uh extra ways to boost it y also uh hi Carlos uh my brother in the basement from yesterday oh yeah we were having a great time like hanging out around 60th place and then um like holding hands kind of just like climbing our way up game by game yeah I at the beginning like I had taken nothing above second place yeah so I was more of like in the 80th region and then after that game of bad girls I just got my flow oh yeah looks like Sarah has collected her prize money and she's good to go so um so Sarah quish will be moving over to solar ride uh 82 150 is the target score what really interesting about this solar ride too is is that um it also has a ball save on it yes which is something that is very unheard of with games of this era yeah that's the uh benefit of the Pascal board the uh newer boards that have come out with these games uh Nails the skill shot also gets a handful of bonus advances some pop action already up to 10,000 and change in bonus and unfortunately finds the outlane but the extra bonus not a bad way to go 39020 uh skill shots lined up right on the 2x so that's always a good thing to see Nails the second skill shot finds the drain but that should be coming back she's got 16,000 a bonus so she needs about 5,000 more points perfect the Precision on those plunges at this point she's got it in
    125:05
    bonus yep now just walk away hands up you're good to go and that is some textbook plunging on solarite she's going to move right on to Road Show um as an update I'm going to grab some scores while we're waiting here uh we have Jen r up on shy shootout trying to beat 20 million 79300 from Liz McDaniels Katy ferraria at 204,000 on Argy uh Sydney Wamsley going out in N
    125:45
    here Sydney Wamsley going out in 18th Place with 125 440 on Grand Prix um and then in front of us uh 38.4 million for Doris Bachman on red in Ted's Road Show 101 million on Game of Thrones premium from Deborah tman and uh she was actually the first one to post a score on the game so we'll see how that changes that's a nice um that's a nice way to play the game oh yeah I wonder if um she might have chosen uh braon if I were just walking up to the game and I was player one in this format for Game of Thrones I just do bath and take my free 150 yep um so we're actually going to get a change on that uh Michelle Scarboro at 10, 618,000 is now the score to
    126:44
    be uh so right now we have a tournament director in the way so I can't see where Jen is right now uh Jen is lined up a trick shot I think the number there says at least a two so she should be getting tapped out here and being moved over to solar ride oh yeah especially with that black widow hurry up she is good to go yeah I got the Black Widow hurry hurry up yesterday I have I didn't I don't know how to hide it I have no clue um you just get it eventually I think from left orbits or something like that I mean me being in my 30s and having that we weird I watched a lot of random stuff on ESPN as a child um it is actually funny that uh Janette Lee is a essentially got a featured role on a pinball machine uh she is actually like especially in the 2000s when this game was made one of the best pool players in the world so it was kind of funny just like oh we're going to get the likeness of Janette Lee to uh be on our pool themed game uh back to pinball though uh Jen stepping up to the game here already got 2x bonus already collected it twice um again Target score to beat 8250 takes a rough drain yep rough drain skill shots up she does if she just does that two more times she's got
    128:17
    it that'll help few trips around that gate as as you can see that gate swings that's 28,000 in bonus right
    128:33
    now she's going to shake her head she's a little under 20 million short right now I uh took too long to commentate so my family is going out to go get me something to eat now oops it's whatever
    128:58
    all right so Jen currently 2,000 points short um she's got it in bonus
    129:05
    now sweet never trust the bonus though oh yeah always try to get the score before you drain well that'll be especially nice I mean 2x good enough 3x swinging that gate watch those bonuses build up 35,000 in the bank times three and that plunge is going to be a nice little walk-off right there and she's going to March herself happily over to Road
    129:36
    Show yeah I um I have not played Road Show in the tournament yet and I'm kind of glad cuz I only thing I understand about that game is how to get multi ball cuz they we had one at the um the rec Bar for a little bit but it was never in the tournament so I never played it um that was like whenever I first started playing Pinball it's a nice game um you could definitely go for modes uh there's a lot of valuable modes on that game a lot of just really fun things that you could do uh multiball is another way to play it if you're really good on the Sid shot that's going to be something that you want to go for yeah I'm used to Rudy oh
    130:16
    yeah I love playing roacho for the modes um there's some really cool little things uh Valencia Kelly now stepping up after finishing up her game on Sharky shootout hits the skill shot another 10,000 falls down but that's going to come back even better you can now plunge the 2x bonus and there's no Auto
    130:42
    plunge so no 2x bonus yet and as you can see if you get that swingy gate and if you can really lock in that swingy gate that could be valuable uh but that out lane not the worst thing in the world it is another 5,000 in bonus
    131:05
    so all right stepping up to ball two little bit of Pop action ooh almost got that to Rattle up there I see where you're talking about now that uh Gate's a little bit bent so you can't just push it up the corner yeah and what's um what's really tough about shooting this gate is that there's also like a little post right next to it that you just always seem to hit whenever you go for that yep so Valencia stepping up here 66,000 misses the skill shot but she is going to get the ball under
    131:44
    control just rattling around that saucer there we go that's a swingy gate that's going to punt it in bonus so 821 50 is the score she's just going to say I'm going to take the
    131:58
    bonus I'm going to take the hands off the game I don't want to tilt this we're good to
    132:07
    go uh looks like we actually have the next play already on Sharkies
    132:20
    too yeah this is actually my uh first time ever comment I've been trying to do it every every pincinnati I've gone to every nky open I've gone to the first one that I've done
    132:43
    shot she has seven 14,000 in bonage takes an out lane has 34,000 on the DOT I love it when you get the uh rounded out scores it just feels nice on the
    133:12
    it so we have sakon stepping up right now just wanted to make sure I grab that o that's all
    133:21
    right uh it was looking down for a second is this ball two or ball three oh I believe this is ball three well that is a great statement piece right there getting your second skill shot for 20,000 at this point just don't tilt yep and you don't even need to worry about that anyway tilt if you want to you're good move the game to your house take it back y it'll it'll still be good yeah just don't uh throw it in the fountain yep what' you say we can go to Road Show uh so we are actually going to move over one game to red and Ted uh so we can uh get some uh more people in front of the camera right now uh so let me go ahead and update the score text uh that will be 38 452010 and that is Doris spachman all
    134:26
    God put up a high score on this game what' you say God put up a high score on this game oh yeah I guess so huh I didn't know he played pinball so I believe Valencia Kelly will be stepping up
    134:51
    work this is a very nice nice looking Road show I've seen some like off of watching streams like I've seen some that are just very dull
    135:04
    looking ooh o hello hello ooh it takes a double danger but safely gets the ball where's my replay where's my replay there's my Replay that was absolutely amazing just that little bit of extra pop as well
    135:25
    not 38 million is the target score oh gets another good bounce yep three CS got it yeah three CS smash that's another 17 27 she's 10 short but you can get 10 million pretty easily on this
    135:49
    game that's a that's a weird shot oh another nice little wallup [Music]
    135:58
    I all right can she get her paycheck all right pay her pay the lady what's it going to be all right 6.7 million that's going to be
    136:20
    it yeah does that side shot give you if you you make that side shot just give you like what 10 million it gives you like 5 million you get you get a nice little ouch as well I'm guessing each time you hit her it goes towards your bonus as well like fun house I don't know if it actually goes to bonus that's one thing I'm not 100% sure on I don't think there's a bonus it's just like a progressive score that's attached to [Music]
    136:50
    it Ted having a wonderful time celebrating here eating high on the hog tonight sakon stepping up now same goal 38 million I see that full plunge is going straight into the lock and with ball save that's actually a pretty good
    137:07
    idea it looks like she's going to gun it for uh multiball here nice backhand Miami is there a scoop right there yeah oh there's a scoop right there and that's your Mode start scoop I'm talking about um right here oh yeah there's also that one on the side as
    137:31
    well yeah I thought it was just a bunch of targets over there and that's yeah Friday Friday it is quit
    137:42
    time Ted wants his paycheck he does not want to be working overtime you don't get paid as much for your
    137:51
    overtime it's a messed up world where you're not even really getting time in a half yep unfortunate D um but that's all right y I believe she was that her ball one she is going into ball three right now 28 million takes another uh hit of
    138:11
    overtime let's see what would you do here multiball point I just go for a lock cuz a lock is going to pay me but that is going to probably put her short unfortunate
    138:28
    don't be a strer 35 64 6 9:30 but that's all right don't count yourself out yet nope cuz somebody could get a lower score than you it's
    138:47
    possible time to go to work Jane verweise stepping up now from hot yep the wonderful ladies over in Chicago already snagging a skill shot already snagging a city 5 million plus some bonus plus now you can sit there and just Bop on the center for some points is the center of the bulldozer yeah hits her hits red yep hits red get some big Millions
    139:22
    oh so when you're in this mode does it not Advance you towards your modes do not Advance you towards your multiball you're locked out of it actually but since this mode is just hitting the taxi cab anyway you're going to get points for it yeah and when you need 35 million points smashing a few CS not the worst thing in the world she's already good nice
    139:57
    Friday she's going to look up notice that she's got it looking all comfortable she's going to walk away
    140:38
    Ops for a short get on the flippers looks like she's also trying to go for Vol ball yep uh unfortunately that will not Advance you to multiball and spring break is actually a wonderful mode for this uh tournament right now what are you doing spring break Hit Switches you can actually at at this point with 35 million one shot to the spinner in spring break probably will get you all the way there is there a way to change what mode you'll get um that I'm not 100% sure of uh I know that some of these games have some slightly different ROM revisions I know that there are ways to normally change it but I don't know if there's anything on top of that yeah I know on a lot of games the way to change modes usually the Spinners yeah um is there a spinner on this game yes uh there is a spinner in this little kicker Lane here that might change it if not it's probably a Target somewhere right
    141:41
    there 15 million yeah um that is definitely going to help 8 million 15 million take some lunge take a paycheck and you're going to go ahead and uh lock that one off Holly yeah she got
    141:57
    it hands off the game we're good that's a pretty good pay check 60 million I'll take [Music]
    142:16
    that so Nicole Turk will be next up on red and Ted she's going to go ahead and and uh just get the thumbs up
    142:37
    up op for a short CL yep there is a skill shot right back here like she's trying to go for mul oh she tried to backhand it into the scoop SC split for Miami is definitely something you want to keep an eye on great you can keep this ball in play for a little bit you're probably set
    143:14
    nice ball in the pops ball in the spinner there's a lot of nice little ways you can uh build up some stuff quick but even that already it almost there looks like she's made it
    143:58
    I believe she's just looking for somebody to wave her off and there was a score being recorded on Grand Prix
    144:08
    so let's see uh we've got a little bit of a downtime right now
    144:24
    I'm excited for the uh main tournament tonight oh yeah I want to see I want to see where I end up right now I am just below the a division
    144:38
    bracket so it looks like Rebecca Hinsdale is stepping up um so she's going to get that ball back nice little grace period on the ball save she's just going to go straight for multiball I feel that like if you're if you're going to be getting 15 million off the locks like we saw earlier y then that's a great way to go ahead and get you 35 million well unfortunately she's locked out of the locks right now but but spring break the lock shot is worth a lot more in spring break unfortunately falls out of it 11 million isn't bad plus you're getting that that City bonus that 2 million if you can get that ball one that adds up pretty quick
    145:30
    yeah and Ted wants his paycheck we need to give a paycheck here not some overtime well okay fine some overtime is going to do it she's good to go so um she's going to go ahead and uh shake her head but smile that one off nice another uh Hond player and Stern employee yeah oh I forgot she's a Stern employee now
    146:02
    yeah I saw um I saw Elizabeth up here yesterday I don't think she's I don't know if she's playing in the main tournament or not I'm not sure but she's a St Point too I know oh yeah she did some uh coding on Jaws yep and she's currently coding her next game of Keith Ellen ah so she's working with Keith Ellen on a lot
    146:38
    quick uh Courtney smok is currently up on road and maybe I'm not 100% sure um I definitely think multiball is a good play here y especially if the full plunge just crashes you right in oh looks like she's going for the skill shot also finds the mode so locked out a multiball but you're basically doing the same thing
    147:13
    yeah there's one cab that's another three million in the bang dangerous getting close I don't know why that didn't send the link there we go sorry about that top [Music] rope she's got it she's good she's crushed the taxi cabs she's good to go we're moving on to the next player
    148:29
    is that supposed to be the red thing on the far right is that supposed to be like a boom box or something it's a radio radio yeah there's a one of the cities has a radio uh multiball on it and there's actually side targets right here where the lightning bolt is that are uh radio targets they get used in some of the modes the the radio mode is great because it's just they're driving along they're they hear talk radio and they're like change the station they just get so mad at talk radio so uh Stacy morit stepping up already has the lock lit locked herself out of the multiball for now but she could just continue to bash on the center and uh get the
    149:21
    cab some miles miles that's another thing you could do right there um go for um a ramp combo like that and uh light your wheel get double
    149:34
    bonus oh she just going to go ahead and uh bash some cabs another one for the road that's going to be an overtime it and she's good
    150:04
    uh so starting our second rotation uh Katie ferreri Ferrera is out in 18th Place on
    150:18
    Argy oh sorry 17th Place on Argy get out all right and we are just waiting for our next player
    150:45
    Str Liz McDaniels goes out in 16th Place with 20.7 million on Sharky shootout um we will have one more player on this pending the results of solar
    151:19
    ride actually uh speaking of Argy uh that's currently our lead game right now so we're going to get the rig moved over
    151:37
    already I I started not using my gloves I had gloves for a little bit there but I don't know I just got rid of
    151:46
    them there's like one night where I played without them I did better than I usually do so just Superstition I
    152:06
    uh this is Deborah's game oh this is Deborah's aracy yes she is the first player to play so you need to see the bow play it'll be up at the top of the play yep
    152:34
    getting those gloves ready yep getting everything prepped start your music I prefer avenge sfold yeah
    153:05
    in in 15th Place Lara suak will be going out with 82,000 on solar ride uh red and teds has one more player and then we have a handful of more players on the games in front of that and we kind of have a log Jam on Argy right
    153:20
    now uh Deborah here stepping up to her ball two uh if you are watching at home and wondering where's the ball count uh we actually have the bottom of the we have the bottom of the back glass here so you can see the ball count on the Playfield yeah Eric usually likes to um do that with all the EM that have the balls the amount of balls right there um I know he did that with his uh hot tip at the nky open
    153:49
    nice so if you are the first player in an amazing race uh what's your strategy here You' got to put up the score to beat so oh boy um honestly I do not feel comfortable at all on that spinner so I would probably just go drop targets
    154:12
    okay uh so what we're going to do is we're going to go ahead and tag out we've got another crew coming in uh they will be uh here for you to uh help sail the Seas of Argy yep and let me just find
    154:29
    the commentator names so we have that ready so we can get that get them uh moved in here and uh we'll be right back in about uh one minute enjoy the gaml
    155:09
    well hi there everybody glad to be back with you we have such a great commentating team this year and you got to see Lewis bevans and chrisa wit Jr taking us through those rounds of the women's Amazing Race finals now I am back with you Justin here along with Laura suak who just got out sadly on solar ride and you are our first competitor that we get to actually sit down and and talk with about the experience I'm going to change our names on here okay I mean I could be junior that's fine also also I love love watching Deborah tomman play because she is a she listens to music while she plays and she sort of like incorporates the the dance into the play which is really fun it is super fun and I heard something she told me once where cuz I don't love playing on stream uh and I was like I always get so nervous and I never do well and she goes I think of it as this like magic bubble that goes over me and the Machine and like no one else can get in and like we're it's just me and the Machine and like like it creates the bubble oh that it creates like a like a force field around the game good which is super fun and so now honestly that has helped me a little bit this is such a mental game that that kind of projection that kind of image can really help you yeah Dev dog dude we miss you out here in Cincy no I don't have the chat over here I can't read it I see Dev dog said the voice of pinball um really exciting to watch Deborah play she is such an experienced and skilled player that you can see everything you can see nudging you can see live catches drop catches you can see strategy she just gives gives you a good view on everything yeah bye 367 is the number to beat so we're going to put that in nice and spe watch her plunge like five like just during practicing all she was doing was figuring out the plunge to get into that lane at the top and so she'll just go and like work on those skills and keep working on them until she gets them um and I love how she really is very methodical in her playing like that y so it's really nice to watch and um like learn from that and and like her patience and just like yeah I'm going to I didn't get the skill this time when I'll get it next time yep and she also set now the standard for score to beat which is 37 or 367 that's pretty good yep it's pretty good score was that 367 or 377 you guys have to keep me honest on that I think there were only 3 I don't know actually I I'll look it up make sure it's correct uh Lambo man says first pincinnati for me and my wife well welcome ahead of time is there any info I need to know ahead of time like what's the ideal time honestly on a Sunday I would show up as early as possible and the reason why not all day right yeah it's not all day so you want to get the most out of your buck now pincinnati more than any other pinball show I've been to is good about not letting operators break down machines before it's over yeah so it's not like it'll be an empty room in there but it is nice to start as early as possible if you can show up at doors open yeah that's what I would do I think that's a good call too yep yep yep and can we recommend some games to go try yeah what have you played that you like in there um well I think the favorite thing I've played so far I haven't played everything in there cuz I was doing women's qualifying and stuff and then this but um there is a home brew that is the greatest showman uh that actually won Best in Show at the Expo I believe this year um and the owners are here uh they're like a team she coded it and he made it and it's incredible especially if you like the greatest showman it's really fun as soon as you hit start it just takes you right into the music and stuff so I highly recommend that one and you might even get like a little treat after you play which is [ __ ] they they give out treats that one's really cool and it had every business winning Best in Show at Expo yeah so I've played that one a few times also some super rare machines here so you can play a varcon there's a gorgeous fathom yes there is uh joust which is here uh every year I know there's one of those down in Louisville too I know something you've probably never seen it's called rotation eight that's right I brought rotation 8 this year uh Valencia yeesh 131 540 going into ball five M that's going to be needs to be a big ball five that's got to be a big ball five and I wouldn't put it past Valencia by any means but that has to be a big ball five look at that nice dig there good dig gets it back under control it's real tempting after a dig like that to just like keep flailing just flippy Flappy I call it yep play a little flippy Flappy I I tend to do that sometimes yep I really like arasy I think it's a really fun game nice there she goes back up she knows what to do she knows what she needs to do hit that spinner get it lit then keep hitting it oh my gosh oh my gosh oh no so that's going to be our new low score to beat 210 580 is what it adds up to so I'm going to change
    160:20
    that that's still not a Shabby score it's not terrible yeah um and this game's been a little bit temperamental today too um so dude this keyboard is going to be the death of me what why it like repeats letters it skips letters it's more more random I see a couple of hellos uh I don't know who ZJ you have to tell me who you are but hello and also Kashi pinball ktie CER we know you very well hi hello hello great to have you follow along mhm this is the first time I've gotten to jump on with you I know this this tournament I know we've gotten to watch you play but you've not gotten to watch others play this way yeah I had a rough one yesterday I had to to get into this finals I had to do a tiebreaker and that was scary really yeah not bad tiebreaker with everyone's watching you and you're on stream and I'm like and she's like you're going first and I'm like [Music] ah but it's all fun and I actually really I actually really enjoy um these tournaments there are tough people in this tournament like tough women and uh you know being able to just build my skill of like being competitive like I don't have a giant competitive nature so that's been really fun and then just getting to play all these really cool games yeah yeah I mean building that sort of competitive spirit I don't really have a strong competitive spirit either and I've had to learn how to do it so that I can rise to some of these compet itions were it can help you yeah for sure but then I get overboard and then I get all in my head so yeah you got to find that fine line how about Michelle
    162:03
    108 aiming for that 210 so if you get that Middle Lane on the top it opens the gate on the left super helpful which is really nice that's where I tended to drain like every time so it was really good oh slight flipper fumble there just kind of bobbled for a second yep uh advances your bonus yeah we are on ball three or five I can't tell uh we're on ball three three you can tell um right here oh thank you yep yes I intentionally lined that up that way for sure I thought you did I did like why you not know that's dumb luck but I'll take it Aaron and Scott are on their way over very cool we'll see you guys when you get here hey guys wait does that mean you're watching in the car cool I will admit that open I have listened to the stream in the car yeah like if I'm driving home from a tournament I have to leave early but I've never watched while driving I have listened nice see she get hit that spinner again so that there she go oh there you go and it just lit that feels good it lit on the way through um that saucer right there that she keeps Landing in can be really valuable but it's not yet she's only getting 500 points it so she's in the clear she's gonna get a at this point she's just uh building some extra extra points for fun why not a why not a rip here now I can hit this without getting in the way my spinner rip button spinner R rip rip sorry I definitely talked over Eric on that it doesn't matter Eric could be dead asleep at home and if I rip a spinner hard enough in the arcade he'll wake up from a dead sleep and go rip the ding ding ding ding ding on yep he loves those a I love this fathom um artwork this year it's really beautiful isn't it cool fathom is such a gorgeous game uh Jason does okay Jason from our our league does these and he does such a great job with them he always takes whatever the concept is and translates the art through to something we can use and then when I do the animations I'm working with this highres beautiful art that he made instead of like a picture you know to start from so yeah uh and there is a fathom here in the in the main room so you guys can come on down and play it yep yep it's really beautiful game I I've never really spent much time on it and I played it a few times yesterday really pretty game all right how Jane goes does here Jane uh down to us from Chicago she is a multi-time women's champion here at pincinnati and is this three has she been three times twice twice oh yeah yeah so she is a two-time women's champion then Jen took the title last year Jen roer and now she is back for blood nice right in love when you hit that Jane is such a great player yeah again another one that you just yeah you can watch her her focus and resolve she she picks her plan she goes at it voraciously
    165:22
    oh she only won one I thought she had won two of these we were misinformed everyone she's won once it was Jane then who it was Jane then who yeah Diane bman yeah an an Neil then Jen rert I thought Diane had won twice okay got it so we've had different winers year that's awesome yeah that is really cool um Buck Mania says thanks for showing the rotating four person pinball ma absolutely I was so so glad to get to meet you and uh happy to show off rotation 8 it is a weird 1978 Midway game that I'm always proud to bring and the laziest you can be playing pinball it is the laziest you can be playing you get to sit down the machine rotates to you four player game yeah so another reason to come to the show come see a game you probably will never see anywhere else rotation 8
    166:19
    mhm Lauren says all I can hear is p me from fathom oh it's really creepy it's a game about drowning Sailors I think that's the point yeah your job is to drown Sailors okay yeah that is kind of sad I don't like that yeah never mind I take not it's creepy okay what about Atlantis that game Atlantis is something to do with sharks we're not drowning people though are we aren't we saving divers mermaids escaping sharks okay they're riding on the Sharks and I likees saving divers okay all right so J I love it's coming back today looks like we got Holly up next oh I love the multiball all right so Jane had no trouble sneaking past Valencia on that one so Valencia Kelly still in the hot seat oh it's so rough to be in that hot seat yep and just like watch people that 210 that 210 580 is not a super low score on Argy but at this point in the competition everybody played it and everybody's pretty good this is our third the third time around it now everybody's having a good day y you uh Dom Hanks you were watching Argy this is a fantastic em from Williams late 70s em it's just the Art Is Beautiful the gameplay on this one is so smooth yeah this game is really fun um it's one of the more fun em cuz there's actually a lot kind of going on for an em um this one specifically the the flippers are pretty Snappy forem and you can actually hit the things that you want you know like actually make it sometimes I feel like I can't get to the upper part of the oh playing field sometimes with those older clippers for sure for sure this one's really fun it has been wellmaintained and much like far out like the time and effort you have to put into a 40-year-old Plus game to get it this Snappy that time and effort is substantial so always wonderful to have games like this that play this well that people have put the time into all right so Holly's plunging her third ball here not a great ball one and two nope oh there you go big rip with a lit spinner that's really going to help she's going to pick up 20,000 or 15,000 or whatever on that rip I actually tilt on this game earlier so I hope she doesn't with all that bumping around tilt it yep also just a couple things I'm not one to tilt there's that gate yeah the fact that you got a tilt on on this one you just generally don't muscle them around much couple things to watch on this game this bonus counter in the middle is super important to the game like most DMS bonus is everything and so um because the Tilt is so tight this bonus counter can be everything or nothing to your game the other thing to watch is this gate open right here because we're seeing a lot of left out lane drains and so if that gate is open as it was for Holly a moment ago uh that'll save your butt I'm worried for tilt for from Holly on this one yeah she's she's given a lot of I don't understand how it's you know there's so much and I'm not good at but there's so much skill to not tilting while significantly moving the machine inter spinner rip unfortunately not lit but we'll get a couple thousand out of that but it gets her a chance to get up there and open that gate again we're going to get you a little more volume there Laura oh I moved it cuz I heard myself so much and I thought it was too too loud but they want more Laura in their ears go
    169:45
    hello all right so uh she is able to clear Holly is able to clear Valencia's score at 245 5 990 and Valencia has been playing awesome all day this is not a super low score on Argy yep um so so we'll see if but it gets so tough these later rounds gets really competitive really competitive comes Nicole yeah Nicole Turk I used to play with the Nicole up in Cleveland area you get to play with Nicole Turk yeah y we in the same league yep friends if you if you haven't become a part of a pinball League where you live go find your nearest pinball arcade and ask around because pinball leagues and and pinball competitions even open weekly competitions that sort of thing they change the experience right oh for sure yeah and and what's cool is that you really start learning um well first of all like if you go if you have a league you have to go right you you want to move oh no I can no I don't you want me to call yes okay hold on technical difficulties trying to find Eric uh but what I really loved about being in a league was it made me really nervous at first because I was brand new um and I did a women's league uh and and everyone was super welcoming but what was nice is that like I had to go you know six or eight weeks or whatever it was uh playing mostly the same game so I really got to learn well um you know some some of those games and also people um tend to help you out and be like oh hey did you know on this game like this is this um so playing with players that really know games can absolutely up your game like really fast because you're just learning skills that you're not having to learn yourself um you still have to go figure out how to do them but um I think pinball can be for me it was a little bit intimidating at first because there first of all there's a million machines and every ball is different and yes there's a lot of skill involved but a lot a lot of times too with the newer games it's like if you don't know the rules like you're not going to be getting huge scores so it was really intimidating for me so being in a league where people were actually helping um because I knew the games was really a great way to just get into the game more yep and it's not unusual most leagues that I've ever been a part of and most even open competition nights people will help you with rules r as long as you're not actively standing at machine in your turn even the people you're playing against will help you with rules if you just ask not illegal how do I start multiball the people even the people you're competing with will often be like oh here's how you do it yeah yeah you're just not supposed to talk to people while you're actually playing a ball correct when it's your turn or their turn correct i' I've heard some confusion on that over the years where people say well you're not allowed to talk strategy during the competition it's not true if you if it's not your turn it's not their turn you can talk strategy mhm all right Nicole clears Valencia is still in the hot seat at 210 580 I don't know how hot that seat is but it looks reasonably warm toasty for sure the other thing is uh as as rage tilt points out in the chat is that you get better by you you sharpen that sword by playing around other players oh yeah you can't help it get better yeah exactly and honestly the better the players are the better you get mhm which is why playing in a super competitive area like Cincinnati even though it can be frustrating because the odds of me winning a tournament are like zero uh it makes me a better player yeah I know moving down here I was like woof I got to like step up my game yeah we're so we're so lucky to live in a state that is just full of amazing pinball and in a city Cincinnati that is full of of amazing pinball same is true up in Chicago Indianapolis has awesome pinball Louisville has awesome pinball um so we're we're likey to live in a region that is full of good pinball and then I go to a place like New York City where there's a lot of great players but not as many venues to play in that's what I going to say is like we have great players but we also have so many opportunities to play so here in Cincinnati on a weekly basis swing a cat around here without hitting an awesome place to play Pinball right or a tournament like every week somewhere yep so
    174:28
    yeah all right just going for those that last star Target oh trying to go for that spinner it's lit There She Goes bing bing bing bing nice little spinner rip there got 10 or so out before it rolled back through the worst is when you hit a spinner either you hit it twice in a row and the second time it just deadens it or you hit it halfway and it deadens it on the way through that's such a bummer you got in your own way yeah y that was a
    175:04
    drainbo but uh 227 is going to be enough yep 227 is going to be enough so she can move on and feel good about it also look at that alien star te my goodness I know I was talking to her early I was like what a f an alien star te where do you even get an alien star I asked her and she's like you know little all those little shops online now like ET and whatnot people are making just such cool stuff such cool stuff and I was like what I I actually didn't know alien star until yesterday when I play qualifying I never played that game I has anybody ever been to a tournament that had alien star in it come on this tournament is amazing and it I wish I could take credit kudos to Eric wertenberger yeah and all of the Cincinnati community that brings games because we have some wild games here mhm the fact people here love their pitball so we have dragon fist in alien star I mean bad girls I had never seen dragon fist I was like okay I'm going to go play this now yep yeah bad girls you don't see bad girls Diamond lady yeah Diamond lady Eric brings that whether you want it or not to every tournament I actually don't mind that game I'm getting to enjoy the go leades a little bit more yeah that a I used to make fun of until I played it a lot all right let's see what Courtney does here to get that gate open alien star was a Finals game in pin 2016 what cool memory and B that's awesome oh sad face all right she still has ball three four and five yeah Courtney's all right she's got three more balls yep lot can happen MH oh that was a big old whoop Evan Bingham says bing bing bing someone call please tell me that's your calling card when you walk into a room that's like your your catchphrase bing bing bing did someone [Music] call that's very funny all right Courtney lot of lateral action hoping to get it under control banging around there it's not universally true but when you start seeing a lot of left to right in a pinball game that's generally a sign that things are starting to get out of control but on this game uniquely it's not very common that sling right there actually advances your bonus so it's not very strong though it's not a terrible idea to to throw at it because yeah as you said it's not that strong and it advances your bonus right so that's actually not a bad idea yeah it's not a bad idea and often times you will get uh hit into the drop targets from there she has a lit spinner on the right but once again with a right outlane drain boo okay oh she got it on the bonus though she got it on bonus just past Valencia on bonus wow okay and that was ball five right yeah uh that was four was that four yeah oh it's now ball five gotcha
    177:54
    gotcha did they bring Eric's old Xcalibur I think that's over in the annex room it's in the it's in the annex room with the for the main tournament and I'm sad we can't bring you guys Annex games here's my dream scenario picture this imagine a world where we have this and the annex we have two streaming Crews on the same channel and we kick it over to the annex when this game finishes thatw wouldn't that be crazy cool and if we could start the annex games 10 minutes after we start these we could always have a game to go go to that's pretty cool that would be really cool all right let's see here how uh we just need five grand in donations to make that happen I think this is
    178:37
    Stacy uhoh uhoh o good pick up Stacy Morris good pickup all
    178:52
    get any points I sometimes with this game you hit around a lot of things yeah and you're not hitting anything I mean she's been dodging that Target for four or five good attempts there all right that's all right ball two ball two whoa B Dash thank you so much for gifting these Subs five tier one Subs that is so generous and I know you've gifted us Subs before thank you for that way to start some hype right there we talked about needing five grand for our second rig and B Dash is like boom how about some tier one Subs oh my gosh thank thank you so much how fun would that be that would be awesome to be like let's throw it over to Jason I don't know in the room come on that that's the that gets us on ESPN oo or like your life's biggest we're making it to oo Pinball's making it to oo and I'm I'm going to spearhead this effort thank you for all the subscribers thank you bad my God yeah it's still not 5K but it's hey man it is some hype look at the hype train is already getting started thank you for those bits all right she has one more ball to slip past Valencia here Chris Warren and Alabama thank you for those bits that gate advances that bonus I love the idea of a streaming Booth tip jar I don't know how to do that but that would be fun as long as it goes to the stream I don't need to take any of it home we are on a level two hype train friends for the next 4 minutes and 30 seconds we are 55% of the way there so if you want to get in there with B Dash and you want to get in there with Chris and throw some bits our way get that hype train to level three man oh man we would love that good digs here just trying to stay alive yep that's what's so fun about this this is such a Cutthroat Turn turnament Style yeah you just got to stay that y it really is okay now now watch watch this count if you saw the bonus is not going to be enough oh not enough Valencia is out of the hot seat she Valencia I just Valencia is sitting here to my right just got up with I think both loss and exasperation and joy right so 201 520 she played a good game Stacy was really really going for it really going for it pretty um poppy aggressive pinball there stay alive 201 520 is now the number to beat let me make sure Stacy has an e in her name right I was just double checking you don't want to get those Stacy's wrong they hate that all right so this is Sam I believe Sam is the last in the queue um here so we'll see yeah so in the hot seat if you're Stacy or Sam you're getting a little anxious at this point
    181:46
    yeah thank you for those bits meter made thank you those we are 3 minutes left in this hype train if you uh want to support and get us to a level three we would love to do that and I think he' unlock an emote if you do that over the top and through that gate goes for the spinner shot misses just a little bit all right but does advance bonus on the way out that was a great ball one yeah not bad she got some stuff done if she keeps doing that she's in the clear but that's a big if so much pressure too to be like the last on stream I just got to make it it really is a whole different game playing Amazing Race yep it's a whole different it really is after this we'll move to Sharkies although I actually I don't think we can because we won't have enough competitors on Shar we need to go uh up here somewhere we can move up to wherever we are Game of Thrones maybe love that hype train thank you so much for those bits those subs those celebrations woohoo all right what you going for those targets those targets are a little rough on this game the drops yeah yeah because they just like that there it's just like whoa thank you for those look at us hitting the hype train diet her my buddy did it coming through did you see who it was Sam did it our house oh what hello thank you for that thank you for those subs amazing hype train level tree alltime record what what what thank you guys yeah Road show or Game of Thrones is game is anybody up on

there's a little bottleneck on solar rid we'll see Jane next on road show right that's the way how amazing race works I want to go Game of Thrones Chris I really do we can move over we can literally just follow Jane just follow Jane the whole way through you know that's good advice for Life honestly or just follow her from you know Road Show to game of leave it there we can do that I just don't want to leave you guys hanging watching nothing there's only one first play right now cuz that's the way it's it's bottleneck that's the way it bottleneck so we'll go to Road Show and then maybe we'll follow Jane directly over to Game of Thrones and you can watch one player through two games in a row uh I would love to see bad girls though I don't think we've put it up on stream yet so maybe we can move over there at some point so was that it for Stacy that was it oh we're going to say goodbye to Stacy thank you oh my gosh you guys are coming through thank you for that sub thank you for that hype train y'all you all are showing up big time for us at this pincinnati tournament thank you so much and women's tournament too pincinnati women's finals yeah this is I always tell people this but like I get to do all the tournaments over the course of the weekend the women's Amazing Race is the one I look forward to all year because it is such a killer tournament yeah killer competitors amazing format everybody is so cool working together to make this tournament happen so I always look forward to it for amazing year yep and I just wanted to make finals and I did I got to play 10 rounds and super fun with all these amazing competitors right level four hype train thank you guys so much let's go I am stoked let's go I am stoked thank you Jack Flash for that sub did you guys know you can subscribe for free right now with prime you get one free uh sub every month with Amazon Prime yep so if you're a Prime member and I know many people are uh you can do that for free right now and it helps our Channel out so we're over to roacho very different game than Argus this is a very different game there's a lot more flashing strobing lights y for for one and Jane I think is she's setting the the pace for us here on road show so score to beat is who knows Yeehaw I don't know why there's like cowboy call outs in this game this game confuses me I'm not sure what is happening in this game well okay so I know why it's Cowboy okay so the voice of no that's going to be out good try the voice of red is uh carlen Carter of the Carter Cash Family okay country singer country star okay so you get her country accent along with it okay which necessarily sets this in a country setting or or at least a southern setting notar country a person who is country and excited says ye-haw yeah then they say ye-haw and so you also get it then from Ted her partner there and uh but they do travel all over the country fixing roads yes and we get stuck in Ohio sadly sometimes Buck Maniac thank thank you for that sub you guys are showing up big fashion on there we go Friday 60% of the way there to a level five we're at a new record thank you guys so much oh no straight down the middle drain so she's at 95 plus bonus it's not going to be a huge bonus and yeah three so she's going to be about 98 and a half and this is it ball three this is 98.9 Yep this is setting uh the new standard for everybody else have to set the record holy moly level five you guys Frisco Frisco thank you so much let's high five them ready high five high five to you thank you guys level five hype train I am so thrilled and who better to watch than Jane heck yeah such an exciting player to watch on this hype train pin heads thank you for that also it's my turn to resub with you on Pinhead Zen we need to make that happen all right let's see if she can she is on Friday right Friday day so so now it's about that lock shot to the left y that lock shot slap spinner shot if she can get up here oh takes another shot at it does not quite get it I find that shot very difficult it can be and it's super important to the game for a number of reasons so if you don't get that shot down you're screwed big spinner shot there ball two is locked all right so now the big trick is you've locked two you have to get it in here with this thing going up and down and up and down it's so odd so you're oh maybe it stays up maybe it stays up maybe you don't have to go outside Outlaw pinball thank you for that sub holy moly guys got that third Ball's got to eat it cuz he loves delicious pinballs he does him and Rudy punctuating Jane punctuates that with a multiball start you get this awesome multiball music putting up a pretty tough score to beat here five months sub thank you so much Outlaw pinball thank you there's that Prime subscription In Action Man yep Jane uses that left side lower flipper to get out of Danger on the left side gamble I sometimes forget that and I'm like ah oh for sure now the trick is it is moving up and down now so you have to get past that barrier and into Ted's mouth oh good good save there with that flipper she can restart this multiball if she does it in the next few seconds if she gets back to Ted in the next few seconds hit it a that's not going to do it there she might get one more shot at it you get a tiny grace period she is not going to get it right
    189:21
    all right so she's back to regular play single ball play she got like 80 mil in that multi I think so she's setting a really difficult standard here in terms of the score to be 200 very strong I mean we've had scores of like 40 today she flips away here's the danger of flipping away is that we talked about lateral movement earlier when she flips away you are putting it in here or you're putting it in blasting Zone which can send it right back down here so it's not an ease it's not a gimme to flip that one away worker trap that's a blasting Zone hurry up we's see if she can get it right now it's worth 30 mil she gets it with a backand that was a backhand shot that was so good if you can that's the way to get that shot because of the problem we just describe
    190:09
    yeah you guys I can't thank you enough for this amazing support level five this is a new record for us level five hype train you guys have come just come out to to support us thank you so much and Jane is giv giving you the show you deserve yeah look at that Focus that determination putting on a clinic man I love it she's like in the zone yep that's so fun when you get in that place and you're like boom boom boom when when you lock in like that and you feel like you can't drain you know what I mean yeah she Pops in she's going to start her mode in Ohio not the greatest mode for points it's essentially like it is a great state though it is a why is a great um they did not give us the best mode no they didn't it's essentially like you have to hit off of the or you have to hit the ramps to do the getaway it can be a really dangerous yeah shot it's better than New York New York really sucks all right where she going B Dash B Dash did you just double down did you just double down and drive us to a level six hyp did you just get five more subs to this community what thank you all right five tier one Subs way to go Jam huge support so generous thank you so much that's his b das's second set of Subs I don't amazing wow amazing I don't even know what to say just making it rain so Jane had an awesome score 280 49 640 what a start what 280 049 64 all right what a start Jane sets a very difficult standard yeah
    191:48
    that's going to be tough tough for everyone to uh to live up to that's that's a tough he but of course not at all impossible we just saw Jane do it yeah yeah West Coast is hard to get to on this I try to stay in the South and work my way over to the West Coast move somewhere else um I don't know cuz I was real exciting okay and so I maybe want to see at least one more player on road show cuz that that was like that's what we tune in for yeah that was really exciting and fun to watch it was and I'm I'm kind of glad I'm not in anymore or do we want let's watch Jean blow it up on Game of Thrones hold
    192:28
    on yes thank you guys so much for being here and it's so fun to see all of you watching this women's tournament we have some awesome awesome competitors here today and I always love playing this tournament it's I think probably my favorite all year so thank you guys for being here Jan is the Beast yes when she's on she's on hey hi Y come to pinti next year come to pincinnati everyone you heard it here come to pincinnati next year ladies yay also anyone is welcome to join the women's tournament you don't have to be did I just see a wild tiger crawl yeah there was a wild that was scary whoa it was scary basically barely just made it out so uh what our TDS told me was that we won't have a player on Game of Thrones for a little while yeah because because of the backup on solar ride y so we're going to stick around Road Show and again oh man what is on the oh that's her thing I was like What's blocking our way sorry you guys I left it kind of a skew I did a bad job you could go fix it again uh I'm not going to interrupt Deborah midw up oh I didn't even see her she's literally directly behind I didn't see that she was there she's directly behind Bri I'm like there's no in there what are you talking about yeah you guys I was a little bit of skew my apologies you know what sometimes happens is I don't lock down the wheels and I walk away and it just goes yeah could have locked down the wheels should have locked down those Wheels man master so Deborah tman again like if you're going to follow Jane with somebody this is a fun somebody cuz you know Deborah knows this game through and through as well she knows how to play it she's played it a million
    194:13
    times 280 that's a number to beat 280 she goes to New York City she's smashing taxi cabs and uh that means you're you're basically shooting at
    194:32
    Ted this is not my favorite mode because it's one of the most dangerous shots in the game and it's not a ton of
    194:44
    her all right she gets through to Wednesday and also gets a chance to buy a souvenir you want that salt shaker oh she just skipped it just skipped it I don't even know if she bought her salt shaker the souvenirs essentially add extra points depending on the cities that you've been through so if you're not planning on visiting all the cities or you know a souvenir is worthless in any City then you don't buy it but you have to learn you have to learn what souvenirs go with what cities so that's a I I don't know that it's an incredibly important part of the strategy if you're playing an amazing race you might skip them all right overtime means that she has already shot all the shots necessary to lock a ball and just needs to lock it there goes ball one nice job Deborah like a pro guys whoa sorry I just got to notice we are level six hype train I can't tell you how thrilled I am for all of this amazing support thank you we love doing this for you and that kind of support is just awesome to help us continue to do this for you she gets a ramp shot she's going to try and get it back to the right flipper I'm imagining so that she can get that next lock takes a shot I think at the lock but is not able to get
    196:07
    it she might take a bounce a dead bounce off the left flipper here I don't know how reliable it is oh no it's it's uh to the right flipper forgive me oh straight to that out lane she did pick up something on the way out though she got that special
    196:37
    award she's at 90 million in climbing again going for 280 but she is set up for a multiball which is where Jane got uh quite quite a lot of her points
    196:53
    it's weird that the Salt Lake the salt shaker would pay off in Salt Lake I feel like they already have enough salt maybe you need a salt shaker somewhere else with really bland
    197:06
    food 130 starting Ohio you saw Jane play this mode as well you're playing ramps on this one this Mode's a little better again the northern modes I'm not crazy about but this mode is a little better because you can just live and die on the ramps if you're good at the ramps you can just combo the heck out of
    197:30
    them Taro totally agree if you're going to to put up giant points on this game you're moving towards game completion you're in a big tournament where you need a huge score um and you're planning on going deep yep absolutely go for those souvenirs if you're playing Amazing Race maybe not as much uh um because you're you know you're going for whatever the minimum score is but hey look if you're the first or second player and you're playing against 280 maybe not a terrible idea to go Amazing
    198:11
    Race all right Deborah Ohio bias H you're not kidding all right Deborah she needs to get in Ted's mouth there to start the
    198:28
    multiball and picks it up that's multiball start right gets a jackpot there so at this point your jackpots you're going for red or going for Ted then you're going for red you're going for Ted then you're going for red you can build jackpot on Ted but your what where your real points are are completing those jackpots via your two characters alternating uh oh that's a center drain this is the problem with shooting Ted straight on is that it has this deadening effect and then straight down down the middle which is a great name for a pinball streaming Channel but a bad thing if you're a pinball
    199:27
    player everybody is just waiting for Road Show I think right everybody's kind of backed up because of the solar ride backup so solar ride had some resetting problems we had to deal with so naturally that slows everything down puts it a whole queue of people waiting to play it caus a little bit of a backup so I think what we're going to see is uh they'll spread out again our players will spread out again 25 million she clears Jane verse is 280 wow that whole break she stilling she clears that 280 on ball three that was amazing I I'm sorry I had to take a break I should have before I sat down when I came back and she's still playing I know not bad huh not bad Game of Thrones yeah let's move over to Game of Thrones yeah so we saw two awesome players there long games on road show did you guys learn some stuff you have to watching those you have to now we're going to go to Game of Thrones hopefully not as a skew as I left the other one mhm there you go that'll work thanks Bri also shout out to Bri for running an awesome tournament oh she's doing she is the best she always does and she's so friendly and helpful and kind and everything run really well an amazing race is a tough tournament to run there's a lot of moving Parts especially at the beginning when everyone's playing you're just like yep it it really is I I this is not my skill set organizing a tournament running a tournament it's there too many moving Parts the fact that this gets done this well is pure black magic to me I don't know how they do it
    201:07
    oh all right I saw that o I saw a call come through I'm going to take that call okay okay
    201:17
    yep all right so here we go Game of Throne so unfortunately I don't know this game very well which I should definitely because it's always in tournaments um I know everyone what are what houses do you guys go for I've heard like three or four different um just like I've asked four people and they all have given me different advice of which which house to start with I tend to go for Lannister get that gold all right let's see how she did on that ball 139
    202:07
    okay and I know getting up in that upper play field I just try to stay up there long as seemingly possible there she goes she gets the middle shot finishes that out
    202:22
    what what did I miss um some stuff she started something I was apologizing cuz I don't know this game very well I love something it looks like she's in Castle multiball perhaps oh yeah cuz she was up at the top is that what that one is y and up at the top you can actually build these jackpot multipliers that can be worth quite a lot and I thought I saw her that final shot and I was like something's going to happen I don't know what it's called yep yep it's cast a multi ball she did not waste any time getting there are we still on ball one no this is two two okay yeah wow so I wasn't awesome but ball two doing pretty well I will change the score to beat after this uh this game is over I don't think that we have a score to beat yet this should be our first
    203:13
    correct doing an awesome job with a 2X multiplier mind you with a 2X Playfield multip so that can extremely valuable that's up here if you if you're doing castle multiball and you shoot the castle shots correctly up here you can get that castle multiplier that applies to the entire multiball okay and it's a whole play field yep now we are on a 3X how about a 3X that sounds pretty good why not let's do
    203:47
    that we're at 260 in climbing an awesome start for Deborah tomman I asked them at the beginning I'm like I've literally asked four different people what house to start with and they've all given me different answers so then I asked I just asked the stream I'm like what is your what house do you start with yeah I I know I should pick something else but I tend to go Martell uh cuz I like that adab ball yeah but everybody's got a different answer I think barathan is probably that's the the most popular uh button yeah you hit the button and you get it back yep that one's really popular especially because multiball is so important in this one and castle multiball in particular okay just keep hitting that sure
    204:29
    sure in just a few minutes I might bring in Evan Bingham because this guy has popularized The Amazing Race format and so I might have him take my seat and talk about Amazing Race and why Amazing Race yeah and I love this format I I mean I it's definitely a nailbiter yeah it is but I find it it's just so different so and I don't know who sort of pioneered The Amazing Race somebody online may know in my head it was Trent but that may or may not be true I don't know uh but I know Evan is the one who brought it to my world via the great Amazing Race tournament that he does every summer
    205:09
    yeah and I think it's really fun that we adopt it here at the pincinnati women's for finals we do regular match play for qualifying and then when Bri gets a second to breathe maybe at the end of the tourney we can have her talk about yeah running this tournament yeah and why she chose this format you bet yeah it is Cutthroat though it is like if you have one bad game you're like oh that's it in match play you can have a couple bad games and make up for it that's right so well think about the other the other tournament we're doing where you have 20 rounds of match play qualifying right gosh yes you can blow a couple of them yeah for sure but not in The Amazing Race you don't you don't get to sleep on a single round yeah you have like two house balls and you're just like uh well now I'm definitely going to be out yep yeah now imagine that your every other competitor still left in this race watching Deborah set this standard right you're watching her get her 3x you're watching her get her castle this game too hopefully they probably all know it much more than I do she is at 423 million in climbing here on ball three looking to advance that castle and you can see the castle multiball is almost lit again see that right there gosh it is she's almost ready to go Castle again she gets a l of light save there she there's that dancing going on wall multiball moving forward whatever she's listening to I Love Her Style it's just so great I'd like to think that she's just listening to a book on tape and that the music is coming from within her I definitely have asked her before I'm like what is that what was that dance Bo what was that what were you listening to
    206:55
    yeah great use of the button tell me more about that Chris I turned my head for a second I didn't see her use the button uhoh winter hurry up in the middle yep and
    207:13
    oh game just so fast it is fast and her reactions were even faster she is like blowing it up right now yep she's going to go for that lock shot up the middle picks it up nice so that lock shot is a not only a way to start a mode which it looks like she chose to do with Lannister but it also is how you lock for your Blackwater multiball right so you could start your mode or modes you can start two at a time and multiball oh which she just did at the same time What of course so that feels really good I knew about the that's the Black Water multiball Black Water multi ball oh I feel like I should know these things better I read like several of these books as well as saw the game or saw the show but I'm like wait what are they called oh all right get
    208:09
    that try to separate them nice okay I'll take after this that' be awesome I was hoping you double trap look at that nice that was an awesome CH pass over there there she
    208:36
    fast so that's the end of that multiball look at those reaction times oh my gosh even with like the the light show the strobing she was it's really hard this this one here is particularly a killer because it has this kinetic thing that hits it right back at you and it actually increases the speed coming back at you so if you can react like that this game is for you she almost gets her uh Lord of light ball save lit on the left there there it goes un like you me like that kind of like that great dead flip great choice to slow things down here she's lit for swords on the right and that's going to be end of ball end of game for Deborah tman wow way to go that was awesome look at this let's see what her total is 532 852 620 all right 532 852 620 putting on a show that was awesome I I don't think I'd want to follow that 532 852 620 is the number to beat for Deborah and that is for Deborah all right The Gauntlet has been thrown friends I'm going to bring in our friend Evan to talk about why this format is so freaking cool
    210:03
    awesome hello hi Evan welcome welcome thank you Justin keeps talking about how he was first introduced and you really help popular popularize this format of Amazing Race and we want to know like why why is this format so cool and why do you love it I I love it because um it's me Evan right there um I don't know I don't like playing in it too much okay so you just want to make the rest of us suffer is that what's happening I don't feel it as suffering I don't know it's it's uh it's interesting it's Unique it's not I don't think it is um necessarily the best test of pinball skill I agree yeah um so there's I think there's rarely going to be repeat when with this type of format yeah well we were just saying we've had I think this is our fourth or fifth one and there's been four different winners um of the women's tournament for pincinnati so yeah and anybody could have a bad uh just a bad game right that's what we were saying with match play you can usually make it up but here you can't but I love it because it keeps you on your toes and it's like no one knows what's going to happen and it actually makes it really exciting and I think uh it makes us I think cheer more for each other cuz it literally could be anyone's game and we have no idea yeah and you can have a really bad score and if there's enough enough people in the queue behind you then there uh there's a high likelihood that you're still going to advance anyways especially towards the beginning so Deborah just put up a giant score here on yeah I think she's going to be fine what did she have it's right here 532 okay yeah yeah I think she'll be okay with that score yeah most people were struggling to hit 200 in uh match play yesterday for the main yeah I played I went through two rounds and I played Game of Thrones I think I only had to beat like 30 or 35 earlier so yeah so um I'm not too familiar with the premium rules uh I do know that this upper Playfield has its own multiball looks like yeah so she's going for Castle multiball it's blinking that top one um so if she can get that last uh Blinky thing it'll start um a castle multi ball does she have hit something after she has to hit that Blinky thing and then like the middle shot under the dragon okay yeah it is a it is a pretty decent upper play fill anything with like regular size flippers yeah it's great you can actually keep it up there for some time sometimes as Tiny flippers as you
    212:40
    so what uh what house have people been did she select uh Lannister I actually was not paying attention in the switch off um but we were talking about I was saying how every person has a different strategy what's your strategy what house do you usually start uh I have not done well on this I played Baratheon but so Baratheon gives you that outlane ball save if you press the button I am never going to make that on time yeah you first you have to remember to do it and then yeah okay so she has to hit that middle and then into the corner there I think yeah I do think baran's good just to get some U 150 million I think is what the collect is and uh if you want points as you go Tyrell is is a good option okay uh but is there one that's like easier than others do you think to like accomplish uh let's see rathan really requires three shots to finish yeah grey Jo's five shots um I'd say I'd say if you can handle that uh dragon kickout then then baran's probably the easiest to finish you got those fast reaction times yeah all right excellent but ever since ever since they updated the Lannister code I don't even know how long ago that was it's uh supposedly good for that you know that's she got that castle MTI ball she hit that sweet
    214:13
    yeah and it seems like you know if you really want to beat you you got to start the multiballs here and get those points even if she doesn't catch Deborah she's putting all the competitors behind her exactly
    214:31
    exactly good control play here good control play have you been playing here at pincinnati this year you having fun yeah yeah um 12 rounds yesterday it's a lot it was I I decided to dress up which is kind of dumbb so like I I was wearing these dress shoes and and just I'm was that a bad idea eh I'm I'm not like in a lot of pain today but I could be doing better yeah but uh this is my favorite tournament now it's just so well R ran uh everything goes by pretty quickly yeah uh everyone's always like no one's ever too stressed out I mean people are focused and they're trying to like get their jobs done and help out but like everyone's pretty chill honestly running the running the tournament even when things like the power goes out or whatever oh that was fun that the power went out here I don't remember if that was before or after that was not last year that was two years ago yeah cuz the same thing happened at The Amazing Race oh really yeah do you know that story I don't know that story at the actual Amazing Race um the one you run yeah uh there was six or seven people left in the finals and there's as close as you can get to a tornado without a tornado over by Trent Barn yeah and um all the power was out we we were sitting around not knowing what to do for about 45 minutes to an hour yeah um and Brian Shepard had some he has he's got a truck with this ridiculously good power generator on it oh wait I have heard the story yeah like what the what they finish right on this like truck generator yeah so we just did one game at a time uh we weren't able to stream it but uh I think somebody somebody was recording
    216:21
    yep all right so now Jane is the player to beat I don't know how to change the score thingy me neither do you know how to see where they're at yes can you change the score please thank you I'll
    216:41
    put where's comma 060 050 yeah all right so Rebecca's up now let's see if she can start some multiball here too and try to get up there to Jane
    217:07
    score yeah I I think the good strategy for Amazing Race in this is to try and just get cuz multiball on this is set to hard I believe I mean Pro probably that sounds right so I would take multi ball if it comes uh but really focus on finishing one of the modes that's not as difficult to finish that doesn't mean that's usually a good rle for an ball game yeah yeah yeah definitely yeah oh there goes Brie running by bye all right is Road Show finished already see who um got knocked out on Road Show
    217:47
    all right Nicole Turk got eliminated on road show with uh about 70 million what round was that 18 that was Seventh Place yeah great they with the top six
    218:01
    yep all right ball three here imagine she's going to try to get up to
    218:12
    that is the men's finals sorry they called it the men's finals oh yeah it's the
    218:23
    open definitely open yeah well what's crazy is that a lot of these women are also playing the open and I'm like that is I I that's too much that's too much bball for me oh both of them yeah they're playing this one so some most of these players have to now go play in the open that is a lot um so but then I'm like remembering pimber and that was 40 games that you have to play total that's that's an a very large amount of G yeah and and people were excited to do that yeah I don't know if they're still at that same format where it's actual 40 games I think they are just less players so 61 is now the score to
    219:09
    beat all right I'll do it I'll do it this time where do I put it okay so yeah so sport text and right colle go to properties yeah cool that's it it's at 61
    219:26
    530 and then I lost I'm trying to refresh here 390 390 was it Rebecca it was Rebecca yep thank
    219:45
    you all right so now we got Courtney up here I know she was getting some some rough comments before cuz she did not play very well on this game earlier uh on an earlier round but she squeaked by that's how this format goes yeah yeah but everyone's I think she had 9 mil and everyone's like well that's going to be but somehow she squeaked by with that but again you have one bad game right and you just and you don't want your friends to have a bad game either but you're just like what do I do right now I must be a bad person I have no problem actively cheering against anybody that I'm playing against but to each their own I I think um I think the torture in this format is really in when you have a bad score and you're just waiting yes I had to wait I I had to go second in the que I was number two and um I had to wait I think like 12 people uh I played I I beat the first round and then I put up a not great score on sharies and I had to wait 12 people before I and then you're just like oh my god did you um choose to go second I was actually the last person I was seed 24 so I got whatever was left cuz we got to choose so coming into this um whatever seat you were right you got to choose your order so someone had chosen one uh cuz they wanted to just get it over with I think it was actually Nicole yeah Nicole did yeah yeah and then I was the last one so I had no choice I got two historically when the tournament was you know like earlier runs but everybody wanted to be last like they would all just default to just picking the last available and then I think it was maybe two years ago people started just picking in the middle I like the middle last year I I was third seat coming in and I picked I think like nine and I ended up in the top four I liked that position it was hard for me starting out today having to set the score I don't like that pressure I like having a goal to meet that that like is way better like mental state for me I'm like okay I have a number I have to get to that number but if I'm the first one up and I'm setting that number I get super in my head about it I I prefer going early you like going early too yeah yeah what's up what's up boots what's up Cody Chris there's all sorts of people watching all sorts all sorts I can't see the chat over on my screen so I'm just like yeah there's definitely people saying things over there but I can't quite read it from over here so is that going to work match play Oh two T's here's now the score to beat yeah that I heard that um keyboard is like double hitting thing so did that work didn't work oh well um here's our new okay score so go to score text properties look at you learning things right way to
    222:53
    go all right so we watch Valencia she got out of the hot seat when we were watching all those arges um so she's still here in the tournament see what she's going for here taking a deep breath that's always key for me is like I need to take a deep breath like figure out okay where am I going slow down a little bit so this is such a bounc machine wide open outlanes it's you can go in with the plan and then get punched in the face by whatever whatever the bounce decide I just try to stay alive mostly if I can trap up I'm like oh thank God yeah in this scenario where it's such a low score the safest shot to me in the game is a backhand to the left orbit and um oh okay if you're consistent with that and maybe like handling in Lane feed or orbit feeds then a good strategy I think would be going just for winter is come uh yes hurry UPS the hurry UPS yeah cuz if you know if you're doing them with a certain rhythm you're going to get shot Combos and it'll be you know some decent value for it even if it's just one he might get you know 20 million out out of that MH it's still you know four or five shots o that was a rough game for Valencia a yeah that's not going to we all just were like oh no for her again you're also like you start getting tired you're like the the pressure of just staying in and staying in and stay in I think is so different than match play um not knowing if you are going to advance or not the
    224:37
    waiting what's going on just the toughest keyboard well we like to challenge you here right all right what do we got here 7990
    224:50
    at least the numbers are working well nice all right so Sam's up now see if she can beat that seven almost 8
    225:03
    million it's getting busy in here yeah even the even this game like I don't remember how you light swords but swords are worth more points than 8 million I and you collect them from the right ramp so okay I also don't how light I think I I think yeah I can't remember it might be it might it might be moot a moot point cuz it might be from like completing a mode or something all right house barathan we go so shoot the left spinner build it up to 150 not that you need to shoot the spinner shoot the dragon shoot the drops game over game over drop the
    225:46
    mic nice she's ready for W multi ball's ready so oh good dig
    225:57
    there n uh so she's hitting that spinner awesome yeah so it's not going to give you any credit for points until after you complete the mode sadly which is why I think Tyrell is probably the best option yeah if it's this low a
    226:23
    that pop back yep nice dead it scares me every time yeah good control play yeah she really is slowing this game down which is
    226:43
    impressive oh think so all right does she do wait what's going on I think that's 8199 so okay
    227:05
    whoa I think wall multiball is starting to plunge now I I don't know what's happening I mean she made it already so yeah I'm just curious let's
    227:17
    see shoot the right orbit full plunge oh no she just didn't the pop so I was going to say like if you start wall multiball through the right orbit then if you plunge that oh you plunge to that right orbit yeah I guess it doesn't start it you have to actually shoot the shot good to know I don't know too much about premium I know that the upper play field completes modes yes and that's important as well ooh a new game okay do we get to see bad girls I hope so I don't think we've seen bad girls yet and I like I think it's a cool game if there's only like one player left on it they they'll probably skip over it yeah they'll probably go to Grand Prix maybe which I love Grand
    227:56
    Prix I can hear it right now ding ding ding ding ding ding ding in this lineup what's your favorite what bad girls bad girls all right uh bad girls and Road show uhhuh uh what is it about bad girls that era of got Le to me is just they just always feel really good to play yeah uh I like how weird different they are oh yeah I think it's fun I love the little like loopy thing over on the left side yeah that goes around sure absolutely all right we're GNA have another finals competitor here how do I put Hannah's name in thank you friends so much for all those subscribers to you that was awesome all right I'll catch you guys
    228:40
    later I didn't see where you put okay is there a is it sh or yeah thank
    228:59
    it awesome all right so so I was knocked out pretty early in the women's finals which game uh Sharky so I was number two out um yeah I went I went uh on a on a Drive ran some errands prayed about it had had a had a heart tohe heart with myself yeah cried about it no I was I was not happy with myself it's always frustrating when you get out so early and you know you want to you want you you want to do better but um so so catch me up I've been I've been out um what are we looking at I think we're at the top six six or seven um well let's see I got the standings right here oh great I suppose I should get those queued up for uh you're the best Nick thank you so much 1 two 3 4 5 six left Sam Arnold Sam Arnold Rebecca Hinsdale Jane varis Deborah tman Valencia Kelly and Courtney smok all right all right Deborah's putting up some big scores lately uh let's see what's the low score on Grand Prix so I can add that to the list here yeah oh I don't think anybody's played it yet so we're going okay oh we're moving over to right now okay good deal so the current low score on Bad Girls is uh 633k okay I think it was Deborah a second ago I think she was stalled on it well the last time I checked so she must have
    230:39
    advanced this is such a unique format and I absolutely love Amazing Race I know you do big Amazing Race in the summer late summer early fallish time frame right yeah this year galvin's running it uh with Greg Kennedy oh okay um both top both top players I don't know galvin's raking but but Gregory's like top 15 oh yeah um and uh I mean I just got too tired from it I'm I'm not playing enough pinball lately I don't I don't blame you man it's exhausting I mean it's it's a blast to be able to play in it um it's a really it's so unique but to run it I can't imagine how stressful like you have to keep track of the scores for every single game you know as it continues around so that's it's a lot to yeah it it requires less scorekeepers than say like uh um Regular card format okay I think or maybe about the same amount like two or three cuz you're only doing what we do is like I guess two two scorekeepers at any given time each can handle four games um yeah this year it they doing it in May so it is spring okay great uh historically that's when it's always been except for like one or two times oh okay um but yeah may it we got to get it in before the heat because that Barn can be killer I love that Barn it's so great but oh my gosh the heat in there well good news uh you've been to the barn the the road keeps going past the barn and um tilt amusements is building a dedicated tournament space oh my go about a half mile behind it jeez so it's going to be the the actual building I think is going to be four stories but it's not it's not like a big footprint sure okay but it'll have four stories but not a big Footprints really interesting of a of a layout so so it'll be big it'll be vertical a lot exactly yeah that's really cool deborra would be able to speak about it more yeah absolutely I was going to say speak of the devil here she here she comes all right so let me make sure we don't have any current low scores on this game yep please and I'll uh update this here
    233:08
    she's okay the score to beat is Jane Okay so there we go I think the keyboard's been a little finicky all right
    233:25
    so yep all right 543 430 that's a good score that's not too bad so ball one Deborah's at
    233:46
    33 she just keeps it just keeps rounding around that saucer a couple times it's so frustrating when it yeah and and I think with this game it just comes down to who gets more spinner shots of course of course I you know I was I'm sitting here like oh I was going to ask Evan what's what's his strategy but it's Grand Prix what other strategy is there other than rip those spinners you know right um I do change my strategy on this game compared to normal games because of the the weird uh outlane situation oh gosh the outlane is so frustrating yeah so I'm much more inclined to flip away in this game than I normally would which is why I don't find I don't I'm not comfortable on it usually just it feels it's a it's a different uh it's a different animal yeah all right so she's she's trapped up a little uh she's had not great ball two or ball three oh good save y she's got to find that spinner shot she was late on the left
    234:49
    yep just right there like you said yeah but okay so the right arrow is is lit so is that better to hit the right uh hitting both sides is fine that just means that just means which uh side's going to collect bonus when you drain okay so yeah I mean it's not going to matter sure it's not really going to matter because you can still collect it through there sheo she found it that time yeah you can still collect it through the saucer below okay
    235:18
    I know we're in heavy competition mode but I do want to hear Chuck yell a spinner rip at some point I don't think he heard me he's too focused he's too focused oh my God right everybody felt that too in the room thank you he did hear
    235:39
    me yeah one of the more satisfying spinner sounds there we go oh there it is there it is oh [ __ ] she knew better right all right ball five here I believe yeah here here she's stepping up to ball five she's got to make something happen here yeah this is not a this is pressure this is not a good uh situation oh this this far into she got it cradled she's going to there we go rip not still not getting the Thousand this yet until she maxes out bonus on that side which she just did which she just did okay she's
    236:24
    trying okay okay so now that she's collected though does that mean that she she won't do a th000 per spin on that side um yeah I don't know why the lights aren't on I think it's still I think it's still supposed to do it but if somebody in chat knows yeah let us know all right what she get uh she finishes out at 282 2
    236:50
    910 28291 0 I mean that's just kind of Grand Prix sometimes I know a lot of people know what that's like all right let's see what Rebecca can do here I was playing um uh played a little bit with her in the qualifying for women's yesterday and then in the in the main uh H day tournament yesterday HUD day tournament yesterday as well yeah she's uh she's great I haven't played a whole lot with Deborah in the past so it was good to get to play some games with her Deborah's a formidable opponent she sure is even on her worst day
    237:42
    yep all right so what are we doing here we just need uh I mean she really just needs two two good balls I guess I'd say uh six to eight spinner rips that are solid yeah but you you can't you can't really think about that in this format you just got to play like I right H okay she'll find that shot eventually she will now they're they're a little bit different on both sides because of the the throw of the flippers the right flipper doesn't go up as far so you're going to have to shoot a little bit earlier interesting okay she it's it's interesting I haven't seen anybody else do this but she keeps uh she's hitting Spinners but she's not really ripping them all the way around you know like it's just kind of knocking around in there and yeah and look she's already almost there yeah and this is bore on ball one here so she's she's sitting pretty right now there is a good rip
    238:43
    yep I those those live catches I need to work on that's for sure all right this should do it here yeah
    238:53
    there oh oh 282 28 I did think it was 222 Al or 228 I mean hey 228 is my birthday hey that's
    239:07
    great oh oh good save yeah sometimes on EMS you get the U urge to control and it's just just veterans like Bob Matthews or or people who know hey sometimes you just can't do that yeah
    239:28
    yeah I'm not one of them I I still try to control and then suffer yep oh oh that was that was quick I think she let's see if she advances forward here oh yeah and there she is yep okay well done so let's see uh so Deborah is the score to beat right now who else do we have uh on this machine here on Q yeah is Sam Arnold Okay so we've got Sam Arnold up next
    240:00
    here and it looks like we've got a couple people waiting uh stacked up on Argy just to continue that on so so it looks like the last game is going to be on Sharkies is that right um potentially
    240:18
    Grand yeah I might step out for the final game then but no problem I can take over if you uh oh okay all right we'll see here we'll see what happens
    240:35
    here okay they started up on Argy yeah let's see what the low score on Argy oh they're starting it now yeah just starting it now
    240:50
    oh she saved it and then uh those are frustrating that was a similar drain to what we saw last ball five in the last game oh yeah that wasn't the same but like it's just sometimes we call them dropped frames where it's just it's just an error where you're like yeah yeah
    241:13
    exactly and then like before you know it something bad happen happens y nice that was that was a great Grand Pre move W that was a really great oh and then into the scoop too yeah if if you can get good at just hitting those those shots on the Fly save oh and almost uh one of those uh evil outlane drains there there it is nice save there I wish I could have seen it but yeah yeah we've got that glare it seems oh there was not a whole lot she could do there okay so this is ball four she's going into ball five here spinner on your bonus spinner only lit once your bonus on the side is Max okay Amazing Race is Fantastic Sam was absolutely out with only 5 million on Thrones earlier yeah wow now she's top four oh okay good save Sam
    242:06
    wow oh yeah she's been she's got those that those uh The Spinners oh my goodness wow all we all felt that for sure no she's got those uh those spinner Lanes locked in and it's funny because like on her on her counter when she's still trying to dig she can still hit those those spinner shot a it's a decent bonus collect I don't think she had double bonus I don't think she has the uh the distance but what a good game all right she had a lot of good moves in there a lot of good saves um de Debra was saved debah was saved don't feel like you got to stay if you want I can uh I can jump in we see I'm here I'm I'm here for for minute might as well stay it's almost over right no problem it's almost over too we're supposed to be starting the uh main right now right yeah I believe so but I don't think we can do that until this is over anyway
    243:07
    right um y all right so I'm going to put the score for the next game here let's see if argus's updated Jane
    243:30
    it all right on to Argy or yeah probably Argy what what we do for our amazing race is once we get down to this few players we're just doing we're we're we're giving everybody time to play but I guess we might it might be better to have them go to shootout honestly if that's going to be the last one cuz we've got Rebecca and then Deborah they might wait they might wait till after this this last game here fair enough fair enough oh I'm I'm with you yeah giving people more time I'm I'm with you what we did at mine is for the final four we let them repick seeds because it starts to get ah it it starts to get like the way the format works it gets kind of chaotic in the order it really has no meaning he you're you're starting order like I I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what my starting order was and then it's like it was meaningless at the end not meaningless but like yeah the main thing you got to remember is that if you pick to go last you're always going to be last always that's the only that's the only thing that's like Stone um follow yeah yeah yeah
    244:37
    sure oh yeah thank you thanks Bri so Bri just said we're going to finish Argy and then do the final two on Sharky shootout huge huge thanks de Bri also how good are you with Sharky shootout rules uh not great especially as that's what kicked me out uh today I lost on Sharky so I almost want to find Bowen to take my place for it cuz he started he started list listing off all these uh if you want to yeah score to beat on Argy is 372
    245:16
    that's weird if it's not updating oh there it goes oh it updated yeah it's upd maybe I just had to click something else is it all right yeah yeah oh big cat what's up Matt 2:30 2:30ish start for the open tournament okay not right good to know all right appreciate you appreciate when it's all said and done I want to jump onview please
    245:44
    absolutely I'm also a sucker for an Evan Bingham damn layout Justin what do you know about uh uh sharies and uh rule rule sets on Sharkies oh it's
    246:00
    basically get the after this game can you take my place for sharies then all right all right here goes ebra next to battle E I thought I heard you say EA for a second I almost put it down I do I do love that all right so we're going for 372 this is a this is a relatively longer playing em in general it really is you know um when I played earlier in the uh yesterday uh I really felt like I was channeling Deborah cuz she I remember from last year's pincinnati she rolled this um and cuz yeah you're right it's just such a a longer playing Em which is uh uncommon but I really enjoy that about this game yeah um do you have a do you have a favorite em you like to play I probably do I have to think about it it's it's hard answer I really love the original Fireball oo I don't know that I've ever played that oh it's at the bar Trent Barn they got a fireball there do they really okay yeah I like that one uh hot tip hot hot trash is one hot trash h i i it's not bad it's not bad I played it a couple times last year when it was here of course everybody hates it but uh or a lot of people hate it in anyway Deb throwing down the Deborah throwing down the glove ah all right what are we at 50 after
    247:26
    one this is for uh to advance to the final two Deborah's got two backto back though all of them have two back toback EMS and Deborah is I can I can sense the frustration on her on her face here but oh she's not trusting the dead bounce but that might be smart oh no all right so she's she's got to work on this skill shot she twice on that on that left out lane she got yeah she needs that she needs to open the gate I don't know if it's that that button up top or that or the is it the it's is it falling it through the middle I I think it's through the middle but I'm not sure oh goodness she almost had that this game gives you a lot of opportunities to throw it back up top though it does it really does and all of these uh all of the games this week uh have have fairly tight tilts the EMS especially understandably so so it's it is hard to to want to n to to nudge on some of these cuz it's it's a risky move sometimes yeah so she's she's dealing with the right flipper decision there she goes there's the gate open yeah she's going for the the drops with the right flipper yep but I I think a good strategy could be keep throwing it up top from the right flipper until you get that gate open yeah I think you're right now that she has the gate open she can work a little bit more oh need a gate on both sides you need a gate on both sides 229 and uh she's got a ways to go
    249:10
    here oh nice there she goes all right there's that gate yeah luckily that ball didn't go up any higher and open the gate and then drain on her cuz that happens on
    249:25
    this nice save and Nice Shot nice spinner what are we at with oh there we go I don't know what ball we're on is that that was it all right let's see I'm going to sign out absolutely thank you so much always good chatting with you all right Hannah thank you thank you
    250:18
    now I get to be Evan Bingham what a what an honor what an honor for real it was great to have you and Evan in there and Evan is so passionate about the Amazing Race format I know it's a big he's a big proponent he's really yeah made it more visible he may have been the one who rallied to get it ifpa recognized I'm not sure yeah I need to ask him about that k no I I mean rightly so it's such a fun format we were just talking about that a little bit ago it's so it's so different so unique um um no I do I do love it as a format I can't imagine running it as a as a tournament organizer has to be so stressful the level of detail and just keeping up with everybody required I'm glad they have uh two scorekeepers unbelievable um yeah guys we're down to our last two this is it this is our last two okay so Jane is in the in the lead right now we've got no uh you can up score no score to beat y Deborah eliminated on uh Argy so this is our top two last game um we talked a little bit while you were off stream um so and I'm sure you've talked about it on the stream here a little bit but uh Sharky a lot like eightball deluxe or eightball a lot like eightball deluxe I mean kind of both but but if you oh that's going to be going to be a she's going to take a walk let it calm down fine yep so essentially yeah so you've got your your uh balls over here that you'll need to clear out and then take your eight ball shot yep uh sorry the eight Ball's over here well yeah and I was going to ask so it looks almost like there's kind of three really tight shots up in that three right okay there is three cuz you you have your scoop shot oh my gosh see now that's something that got me earlier when I played and um uh it makes me feel a little bit better to see that it happened to Jane as well so this is the game that knocked me out um sharies and I are not on good terms right now you and shark are mad we're not friends um but yeah I mean it is it's there's absolutely no ball save right now um so that and apparently I rely on ball save more than I should so yeah this one no it's I mean it's vicious it's vicious it's set to be vicious you can see that lock shot she's got there on the eight ball was not able she's not going to be happy with that no that's a that's not a great score so this drop Target right here was what she was going for that would allow then for a lock shot she was not able to get that so Jane is the score to be 27 mil 27 587 that is a bummer and I'll tell you what this thing has been messing people up all night it sure has I mean 27 587 880 you got it yeah 587 880 and now we have uh the only other competitor left Deborah tman cuz Rebecca Hinsdale was knocked out right in the last one was Rebecca knocked out or no I believe Deborah was knocked out uh or I could be wrong oh online we I I was just watching yeah must be Rebecca got knocked out so sorry Deborah uh yes Rebecca got knocked out my mistake so I got to say 27 not a strong score for this level of competition thank you is it Kashi thanks for the uh for the clarification yes Deborah is still playing I got that incorrect I I looked at that wrong so we're we're at Jane and Deborah Jane and Deborah this is for all the marbles for all the marbles here these next three balls will determine who our 2024 Women's Champion will be and if it if it's Deborah that's another first time champion if it's Jane this is a 2X this is a repeat for Jane is an incredible competitor I oh my go I played a little with her earlier uh last uh yesterday during qualifying and my gosh ridiculous of course uh being in Columbus I play you know with uh against Deborah here and there in tournaments and such so yeah yep she gets one locked for multiball so again you can you can get your multiball locks without completing all of the drop Targets on the right you can get your multiball locks uh and then during multiball your major shots all light up to beat your competitors and then you can also build value toward the I forget what the name of the mode is the H not combo I forget the name of the mode that you're building value toward that can be super super valuable there too but honestly if she gets to multiball that could be enough I me it's 27 that she's got a beat so but that's obviously not a given I mean as we just saw that's obviously as I had earlier I had 14 is what knocked me out so now if she wants to go for that eightball shot she does have to clear all the drops wow she made that easy she could do on that last one right was that ball one or two ball one that was ball one okay now we're on ball two at 14 that's not bad that's again more than I had my entire game when I played earlier I'm not bitter about that at all by the way can you tell I'm totally fine oh no that was very similar to that's really tough really tough so so the the barn doors are open here this is this is a 100% all right she's going to get a little little free scoop shot there we cannot see a drain here oh my God we saw a drain here 27 18 is not going to be enough to get her the bonus she needs that means Jane Jane is our two champ wow Champion congratulations congrats to everyone who played this was incredible Bri again I said it before but I'm going to say it again Bri thank you huge huge huge thank you for coming out and and running this and everybody that were score scorekeepers and and TDS

haven't been able to be can you hear me yeah I haven't been able to be in the booth and I'm I'm so happy to just stop I'm so glad you're here congrats on your huge finish [ __ ] pardon me pardon me3 rounds you this is a family environment it is it is I'm really happy hey you should be so proud that was amazing what a performance and then Sharkies that was a nailbiter yeah after that first a after Jane went we were like really good first ball too but also okay two two things about that I'm not even like I'm not even going to parse what happened on sh because Sharkies is an idiot game it's dead to you I mean I love I love all pinball but maybe that one a little bit less um but but I wanted this for two reasons I have the gauntlet trophy from last year and like it's the teardrop glass thing it's my favorite thing ever beautiful but like I don't I actually didn't want another one I am like saturated I am trophy saturated I wanted one I got it that was it I was good so seeing the look on Jane's face I bre you're so welcome oh the look on her face I know she said she got sh I was like I'm getting Shivers for you girl oh I love it so that was magic and she just got like a crappy game sharies like we got crappy games and I didn't want did you see the other scores that she she was putting up monster scores like I was putting up a monster score she was putting a monster score and just kept coming kept coming so just even to get to play the last match with Jane yeah is stupendously cool yeah and to see her win was actually really more exciting for me than having gotten the win well I'm so pleased and it was really amazing to watch the process of you y'all getting to the point where you get to battle out yeah and then that that last battle was just Sharkies being Sharkies I that's what it does oh so Grand Prix and Argy were much more interesting in my my opinion y it was all good and I just well anyway I didn't come over to talk about this I actually just there was an empty seat and I haven't there's been no empty seat sharing the booth with you yeah this is great yeah and I hope that you continue to have great luck into match play luck yeah oh this is luck is that what it is oh great skill then okay well how about a mixture cool you know what it is pinballs a mixture it's never just one or the other let's be real yeah let's be real let's be real and one of the things that sustained me in the early early days of like sucking at pinball real bad was the luck part I'm it's the only reason I stay in the hobby if it weren't for luck you get you literally if if anyone here is watching this and you don't play Pinball competitively and you think well maybe I would but I don't want to make a fool of myself no you can literally show up and beat one of the best players in the world that's pinball you can't really do that with tennis it is such a rare hobby that way it's so cool it is such a rare and you get to hang around even if you don't beat going to say hang around the best players in the world and you get to hang around well pinball players in general are just the coolest pretty good life real quick uh I was gifted from an anonymous not so Anonymous donor I was gifted gluten-free goodies I like how they're like messed up with the with the green screen the green screen but I just wanted to say thank you publicly about my gluten-free snacks that I'm going to go have now very sweet thank you for being here thanks for running the booth my pleasure yeah it's love having you guys this is the tournament I look forward to all year it's the women's

you can talk her into it I hope so okay give it a shot you got been known to go on stream Jane there she is oh see that was easy you did it you're amazing I'm so good all right
    265:12
    bye congratulations R this way Jane holy moly huge congratulations that was incredible and this is a two you're a two-time winner now four four time winner this is my fourth pincinnati women's win is it really yeah I I thought I had you in year one and then this year but it's four the first three I won the first three I shall hold my tongue from here on out the next two I got second last year yeah it was I think Jen roer got it last year I thought Anna won last year or is it Anna maybe was Jen and then Anna maybe before okay either way what a showing and then it comes down to Sharkies and this is this was the nailbiter for all of us we were sitting there watching cuz sharies has been messing people up I mean yeah all day yeah the scores were honestly like the first two rounds through were about 20 like that was the that was the low bar so not doing too much more than that that I wasn't feeling very confident going into that last game but of course like anything can happen in Amazing Race and it did yep yep yeah we all got a little anxious cuz cuz we saw ball two right it was just like straight up straight down house ball then ball three we were all like come on we know you can do it and then just bad bounce you're out to the right out lane that was it and all of us went oh no and then Deborah had the same and then Deborah had the exact same thing happen exactly and we realized sharies is a giant jerk you know and what I will say is the first two times I played it I couldn't hit the skill shot and I noticed that people were getting like pretty close to the Target score just on skill shots alone if they could hit that so I punched a little bit differently and it paid off because I got my skill shot the first two balls and I kind of think that that's maybe what did it the difference yeah skill shots are important so in some games skill shots are half the game in a tournament yeah um how are you feeling now do you feel like you can relax now or is it just well I'm excited to continue qualifying yeah I was going to say just turn into into Mains for sure but I mean oh man I feel so great I saw that trophy and it's the first time that the women's had one of those glass trophies that the other Cincinnati tournaments have had for the main tournaments and uh yeah I got real burning in my soul for that yeah I love I love a good Trophy and that's and you went after it you got it now that beautiful glass trophy is going to be on your shelf at home yes my cats will probably use it as a scratching post but uh they're not going to be able to knock it over because that thing is is wey and also there was a big a lot of shoutouts for the hot nudge team showed up yes Rebecca got third it was so great to be in the final three with her you know Anna couldn't make it this year but this is my second year in a row getting to to Podium with my hot nut love so that's perfect well you all put on an amazing show for us too so thank you so much for that and now we get to turn our attention to the match play qualifiers eight more rounds we have eight more rounds plus some of the a division today and then tomorrow we do the final so I'm sure I will see you there as well but I hope so we'll take a deep breath congrats on this before we turn our attention this was was amazing thank you thank you all right guys we will see you in just a few minutes we'll come back for match play qualifying we have to stop the recording stop the stream and then come back so just get ready to log out log right back in we'll see you in just a couple minutes at around 2:30 for match play
