Hello everybody. Hello. Hi. Good to see you all here. I mean, I guess we all wish we were in finals, but we're here. It's the second second best place to be. Yes. Yeah. My name is Yasmine, a knitting champion this year. I like it. Awesome. I'm Kaylee Campbell from Charlotte, North Carolina and Superari Game Bar. I'm Lesie Rockin uh from the Bay Area. Okay, so we're going to watch the finals of the women's in this championship. And who are we going to watch? We have Ariel Dutton from originally from South Carolina. She was in my group, so I got to talk to her a little bit. She said everything she knows pinball wise she learned in South Carolina. Now she's in Louisiana and it's a little bit of a pinball desert, but she's building up the scene there. That's They're having a state championship. Oh, nice. That's good. That's good. I also see we have Carrie Hill from Victoria, BC. Uh she is starting her own location. Oh, that's called the I think it's going to be called the Neon Ranch. And I think they're aiming for quite a lot of pinball machines there. So, I guess I don't think they're done yet, but I think it'll open up soon. So, I'm excited about that because I live reasonably close by. Always good to hear about new places open and up. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. And then we have Jane from Chicago. She I think we've seen her here many times. Yes. And Yeah. She's very used to being in final fours of tournaments. Yeah. And then we have Emily. I'm going to mispronounce her last name. Emily Ryhan. That sounds right. Um anyway, I think she is also from uh from BC. also from uh BC representing here. Oh wow. Double representation. That's fun. Yeah. Yeah. So this is very exciting. It is cool to see the world coming together for these events because a lot of people get stuck in their local regionals and it's just kind of see the same people all the time and this really brings everyone together. Yeah, I like that about this tournament. Like there's so many people here and everybody that is here likes traveling with football and that makes it very exciting. Um, so we're going to start. I think they're going to pick games in like a few minutes. Um, but let's maybe we can do some guesses about what they may pick. Uh, Carrie Hill, she is the top seat right now. She got second in qualifying and she picked almost all the games already. I think everything except for Funhouse. Exactly. Yeah. So, you know, I wonder what she if she picks Fun House. Maybe get it out of the way first. She can pick any game she wants because you're only allowed to pick a game once during the whole finals. And that makes a lot of sense cuz she'd be giving up control the whole final round if she doesn't get Fun House out of the way, right? So, yeah. Um, but it can also be kind of nerve-wracking like the fact that she has Funhouse left over is for a reason. Maybe she doesn't feel too comfortable on it. So, it's going to be exciting and see what she picks or what she does. Or maybe now that she's played most everything and she was second in qualifying, she's probably maybe she feels good on everything. True. And she wants to be fourth player. True. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then she would she would defer to to Ariel who who just played Funhouse and picked it. So Y could be could be a good Yeah. Good strategy for her. So, they're playing for a lot of money here and the title of the champion of women's at indis 2024. Um, the prize pool for first place is 1236. $1,236. So, pretty significant chunk. Oh, yeah. That'll at least pay back for part of your travel. Yeah. We don't do this to make money, that's for sure. No, we don't. But it's fun. You also get a very pretty trophy. Yes. Well, yes. And they all got hardware. And I mean, we're seeing some of it like right over there. You get your name on one of the banners. And then you live forever. Live forever in Riverside, California. So, how did the tournament go for for you, Leslie? It went okay. Um, played well first round, made it to Yeah. semi-finals, but then I lost my first two games. So, I was mathematically eliminate eliminated by game three. Um maybe that's why like the pre Yeah, I think Funhouse was streamed a little bit. The pressure was off and I was able to actually do something. Yeah. But now I'm here. How about you? How's your tournament? I Oh, to be continued. Starting. We are on Funhouse. We are on fun house, but Carrie isn't first. So, no, but Carrie is second. What if Ariel picked first? Maybe. I think I've seen her do that before. Just take the reinss and Yeah. try to make everyone chase her. Yeah. So, this funhouse, it was playing really nicely, but it seems like the kick out, the scoop has changed. Sometimes it does one of these. Yes. It was so nice in qualifying. You could just hold that flipper up and catch it easily. Uh, but we see Ariel right here. She is in quick multiball right now. You have to hit Rudy in the face to get a million points. And she's already out of multiball, isn't she? Yeah. Yeah, that one's real. I mean, it's called quick multiball for a reason. I guess doesn't have to be quick. No, it doesn't. You can if you keep it going, you can just keep hitting those millions forever, right? Yeah. Oh, that was an unfortunate rain for her. Okay, put some points up. Okay, Carrie stepping up to the game. See, you can see a neon ranch on her head of her new pinball location. There you go.

    product_concern: Funhouse playfield showing mechanical inconsistencies between qualifying rounds and finals (scoop/kick-out behavior changed, requiring players to adjust strategy mid-tournament)

    high · Commentators: 'This Funhouse, it was playing really nicely, but it seems like the kick out, the scoop has changed... It was so nice in qualifying. You could just hold that flipper up and catch it easily.'

    • 6:13
    The character in the middle is a cat. I like it. So, a lot of players choose to short plunge there because it's a little safer. You get control and you get a shot at that scoop that's flashing green right now. Yeah. Which gives you your mystery mirror award. And the first award lid is the quick multiball. You definitely want to avoid the pots because that will change the award. So take the multiball while it's there. She's in a multiball right now. Oh, and she is out of multiball. Quick multiball proven its name again. Or did she not hit anything? Yeah, she's staying in multiball. Oh, lucky. Okay, take two. Let's see if she can hit Rudy. Okay, the other one is coming out.
    6:55
    So you'll see the players really trying to get control as soon as possible. Yeah. All right. Well, she lit her mirror again. Yeah. You do that by going over the bright most bright in lane or by hitting Rudy in the face. It is fun to do that. Oh yeah.
    7:17
    Yeah. This this game is I think a very nice playing game besides that the scoop is uh being a little bit weird. Um, but it's really, yeah, it it's it's nice that all the shots are very makeable. Um, hitting Rudy in the face is not difficult. It's it's doable with the with the upper flipper. There was that feed we were talking about. Yeah, I just started flipping it away. Because bouncing it over to the other flipper also doesn't seem to work. Um, but this is a good start for Carrie. 1.2 million. um by shooting also by shooting some ramp ramps and getting some pop bumpers because that's the other thing. So you have the mystery mirror which you pointed out on there. And then the other thing that a lot of people want to go for is multiball. How do you get that? You want to get the clock to 11:30 and the clock is in the middle and you do that by collecting minutes on the pup bumpers, on the ramps, on the loops. So you'll see what time it is at this clock here. Yes. And when you hit 11:30, you can start lighting your locks. And you do that right on the left of Rudy's face. And then after locking three balls, you can start your multiball. She's got unlimited millions in her quick multiball. Going to go for that Rudy shot. There's one of them. Look at that. Oh, another one for free. And she's out of multiball. But I think I think getting a 2 million multiball is not that bad. Quick start of her ball. A less quick quick and million is lit. Yeah, this million stays lit. Doesn't time out. Does it fold over to the next ball though if she drains? Oh. Oh my. That looks so Those are terrifying when it's just sitting on that outlane post and you're like, which move is the right move? Yeah. And that is not If if your ball gets stuck there, the TD can either drain it for you or you try and shake it out. Oh wow. Well, she collected another million.
    9:20
    So, what do you get by doing all of the mystery mirror awards? When you get do all of the mystery mirror rewards, you get a super frenzy. And I think every shot is every switch. Every switch, I mean, sorry. Yeah. How How much is every switch? I forgot the attack number. Uh, maybe we'll find out. More than the regular frenzy. Exactly. and and and but it goes so you you get it at the end of your ball. So you don't want to tilt because that loses you a lot of points along with not wanting to tilt to not lose your ball. Yes. Yeah. Like you can get millions in your super frenzy.
    10:04
    And the best part about that also is if you have one more ball after that uh quick or if you survive it. Yeah. Click multiball will be lit again. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because after you completed your mirror, it will not be lit on that ball again. Oh, okay. So, you do have to wait till the next ball. Yes. So, she has locks lit 11:30 again. That feed two for three. But this this is a almost 5 million on ball one is a great start on Funhouse. Let's see what Emily can do.
    10:44
    also short plunging. Oh, that's interesting. Yeah. Going for that quick multiball. There we go. Oh, it hits it from the left flipper. Mhm. Yeah. Another thing you can do is uh aim for the super dog from the left flipper and it will often bounce into the mirror. Very nice. Gets her first million.
    11:10
    flips it away from the scoop. Gets another million. Very nice. The way to get a get a really nice feed is to shoot it into the lock shot and then get it with the upper flipper. Oh, yeah. So, like Yeah. There. Yes.
    11:38
    So the steps gate is open. If you shoot the left ramp, the ball will be diverted to a lane all the way on the left with another plunger and you can plunge the ball and get one of the three awards. I like to go for the frenzy, the first one. I definitely think that's the most common. Yeah, the second one doesn't do anything on this game right now. I don't think that it lights extra ball, but I don't think extra ball does anything because it's turned off. I don't think you get points for extra balls in this game.
    12:15
    I actually don't remember what the third award is. The disappointment you didn't hit the one you wanted to. That is the award. I like it. Okay. So, she's going trying to go for that million. No, there's no million lit. Usually trying to hit Rudy. so that you can get your next mystery mirror. She has her locks lit right now. And there she locks her first ball. 11:45 now. Mhm.
    12:51
    When it hits midnight, Rudy will get tired and he snores with his mouth open.
    12:59
    A lot of people find the Rudy head to be a little creepy, but then the game rewards you because you just get to bash him in the face over and over again. Yes. And blame Rudy for all your problems. Oh, yeah. I've played a fun house once that had a a crosseyed Rudy. Oh, that's the creepiest. Especially when you get the super and he just like screaming. Yeah. Have you ever seen one that's like partially disassembled but still smoking? Okay. because her steps was open that save. It was essentially like a ball save. Okay, so the third award is half a million points.
    13:35
    It looks like it's set to always drop from up top or I don't know. Oh no, it did give her one. Okay, I was seeing everyone get that feed. It must have just been coincidence. Okay, full plunge hit Rudy. There he goes. Starting multiball. Great start to this game. So, in multiball, you want to shoot the ball into the trap door. Where's the trap door? Uh, right there's the trap door. And it's a one plus. So, the first one is a million, second one two million, and it will just keep going the more jackpots you shoot. So, this this is ideal right here. This ball is trapped on this flipper.
    14:28
    So, yeah. Oh, same feet again. Maybe she can get one more shot in there. There you go. 3 million. That was awesome. Bonus points on the way out of the multiva. You can see why these are the players that are in finals right now. Exactly. Yeah.
    14:49
    Great game here for her. for Ari for Emily. Amazing. She's gonna feel good after that going into this game with 12 million.
    15:03
    So, the scoring is 4210. So, the player gets highest gets four points. Second place two, third place one, fourth place zero. And with the threeame format, one last really puts you in a bind. You got to make up for it. And yeah, second and third doesn't really destroy you, but getting first off the bat is the most comfortable. That is an unfortunate drain uh for Ariel. But you have to always remember you can do it all in one ball. Oh yeah, you can't give up in the middle of the game. I mean, Emily showed what you can do in one ball. Like you can get up to 12 and a half million. Let's see what Carrie is going to do. Short punching.
    15:52
    See like that ramp there gave her 15 minutes on the clock. Oh, the lanes are rough. I do like that in this game.
    16:08
    So, apparently Emily is pronounced Emily Rayen. Rayen. Thank you for the help, Jeff, because I was definitely mispronouncing that. Okay, Jane, over here. Oh, that's a great save that she had over there. All right, she has to remember to not do that. I know. I think everybody is so used to from pra from from qualifying to just catch that ball in the right flipper there. I feel like there's been lots of talk about how that doesn't work anymore, but it's so hard to like, well, maybe I'll try again. Yeah, cuz it was working so well before. Sometimes your instincts just kick in, right? Especially if you're in a multiball and you're trying to get a hold of it, you forget that you can't do that anymore. Okay. Will it stay lit? It stays lit, right? Yes. So, yeah, you have to after you get that, you have to shoot the trap door to start your frenzy. And it's really nice when you bring it into a multiball. Yeah. If she could hit that trap door first and then immediately go into multiball. Mhm. Although, what would you choose if you um I guess I'd prefer to just get the multiball. Yes, I would not risk it as well. Okay. Although, if I had the super frenzy, I might start that. Can you bring that in the multiball? Yes, you can. Yes. Yes. But yeah, then you shoot that for the super frenzy, you just have to shoot it in the mirror. Okay. So, let's see what she This beats her multiple. Oh, none of them. Okay, she's going to probably try and shoot the lock again.
    17:45
    Oh, there she goes. Breathe. Play your multiball. Okay, she's got one in the lock, but we'll come to the upper flipper. Oh, wait. Just kidding. Take it. Take it. Yeah, you were thinking of the other multiple, right? Well, because she didn't get it, she can restart it here. Still have 8 seconds. Timer's counting. Five. Very nice. That's a pressure moment right there. That is a pressure moment.
    18:25
    Rudy's hideout. Oh, that other one knocked off the shot. Okay, cool. Not a big deal. Just continue playing the game. Go for it again. Yeah. Maybe um like I was going to say maybe start a frenzy. Um I think that'll carry you through the next ball as well. I don't I don't know, but we we will see. We will see because I'm actually curious about that. All right. Emily still in the lead going into ball two. Getting the mystery mirror.
    19:05
    I don't think I've ever gone for a hot dog. I was just going to ask. You just kind of ignore it. Yeah. Super frenzy. There we go. Okay. So, this is from completing the 100,000. We have our answer. So, 20 seconds. So, ideally, if you can get it into these pops here with every switch hit. Yeah. And it starts with 1.2 million. So, that's very nice.
    19:32
    She's trying to get it over there to get the pots. And this is really nice that she's playing this now because that means for her next ball, the mirror will be available again. Oh, yeah.
    19:50
    All right. 2.2 total. I'll be waiting for her at bonus bonus count. So, just remember, don't tilt. Don't tilt. I mean, I think that's good advice for any game. I find it helpful to remind myself like say the words like, "Okay, don't forget the rest of this ball. It's extra important not to tilt." Okay. Yeah. So, because the mirror is not available right now, like you just probably want to focus on on getting your multiball going. Yeah. Collecting those minutes again.
    20:30
    So, this is a good way to get the clock moving, get into the pop bumpers, but sometimes those pop bumpers can give you some mean feed, so it's a little risky, but I like going for the ramp. It's Me, too. Yeah. Safe and gives you 15 minutes, I think. Mhm. 15 to 20 sometimes. Also, I think the pop bumpers give you like five each, but if you get a good amount of pop bumpers. Oh, nice shade in there. Nice. That is nice. That's a fancy way to do the double loop. And then in the trap door. Yeah.
    21:02
    Okay. So, she can light her locks right now. She can also add frenzy to her bonus. Mhm. Nope.
    21:15
    Okay, there she go. Lights ball. Lock ball number one. This is fun. She's really taking the reigns in this one. Just Yeah, you just want to build up the lead. like if she's lucky um she may not have to play ball three cuz the other three players are sitting here watching this get up become a larger and larger gap that they have to overcome. Mhm. Okay, let's see.
    21:52
    I can uh I can almost feel the nerves of trying to make those shots. Right. I know. I wasn't expecting to feel so nervous for them while commentating.
    22:04
    Another solid ball. There comes the frenzy in there. Amazing. All right, she's sitting pretty. That is a great game so far. 19 million. But Ariel needs to not look at the 19 million. She needs to first look at that 1.5 number and know that they're going to put some more on there, but she's got to step her way up the ladder. Yeah. Because that is that is the thing in this system like you don't have to win your first game. Like you still have two more games to go. You just want to play the best game that you can.
    22:55
    Okay, she'll be trying to shake that off and focus on the next game. Mhm. Yep. Okay, Carrie's stepping up.
    23:09
    Okay, let's see what she can do. Are those her initials on the shirt? Yes, it's more Neon Ranch merchandise.
    23:19
    I want a shirt with initials on it. That'd be cool. Uh, it's hard to tell, but does Carrie only have one more mystery mirror award left? Yeah. Um, it is difficult to say, but I think you could be correct there.
    23:45
    Yeah. So, from the left flipper, if you hit the super dog, it will sometimes it will often go into the mirror. Try the post pass. That's definitely the most valuable thing available right now is that mystery mirror. Yeah, she she did pass uh she did pass Ariel. I mean, it was a very close close one. Um but she is guaranteed one point, which is better than zero. Yeah. So, let's see what Jane can do. Jane's just gonna try and do as much as she can and have a chance for Emily to not catch up. Oh, Frenzy still is lit. Oh, there we go. Now we have our answer. And she went for it. Nice. Well, then a million probably also stays lit. Uh, I don't think so. No, unfortunately.
    24:39
    million and and frenzy not equal in the rules of fun house. No, but a frenzy could easily be a million if you just get exactly this right here. You get it into the pup bumpers. Okay, one more switch. Couple more switches. All right, it's worth a million. Okay, now she can restart Frenzy. Oh, by plunging correctly,
    25:10
    unfortunately. It was a good plan, though. Mhm. Do you always plunge with your right hand when you're It's on that left plunger? I plunge with my left hand. I do too, but I noticed a lot of people use their right hand. I don't know what I do. Dominant plunging hand.
    25:27
    I do think she's getting closer and closer to uh Super Frenzy as well. She just started the super dog. All right. So, very solid game for Jane. Emily does not have to play her last game um because she is the winner with 19 million over here. So, she gets a walk-off plunge. She does.
    25:54
    Rudy one more time. I was in a Twitch chat recently where we were debating what a walk-off plunge really is. Because in baseball, a walk-off home run or walk-off win is I forget. It was when the team already wins because of like a last move that they do, right? Like a last walk-off home run is like you hit the home run, it's the last inning, game over. Nothing they can do. Oh, and we're back on video. Hello. Yeah. And here here it's really like you you've already won, you just out of courtesy for the next person playing the game, you're just plunging your ball. It does feel good. You don't have But wouldn't a walk-off be in the same as baseball? You'd have to play your last ball until you win and then you walk off. I mean, people do that, too. Yeah. Like if you know you have to pass somebody, you need to get like 12 million and then you pass that and then you're done and you like just drop your balls and you're out. Like that feels good, too. Yeah. That almost feels even better. Yeah. There's no rule, by the way, that you cannot play your last ball. Like, if you really want to play your last ball, you can. I mean, people are going to look at you funny, but Yes. Yeah. But you're allowed to. So, okay. Let's see. Like, so Carrie,
    27:10
    we're assuming she picked Fun House, right? Like, because she was player two and Ariel had just picked Fun House herself, most likely. Oh, we're like guessing here, but they already picked all the games, by the way. So, what's what's next? Joker Poker, Star Trek. Oh, right. I forgot. You prepick them. Yeah, I forgot to tell them. So, Joker Poker's next. Joker Poker is next. Um, yeah. And I'm pretty sure that Ariel is just picking to go first because Carrie is second for all the games and Ariel first for all the games. Does it show the order already on there? It does. Yeah. Yeah. So, Joker poker. I think it's a fun game. I haven't played it that a lot because I feel like the old games sometimes you can get house ball on it, but I I like this one. It played pretty good. And I like for a classic, it's it's very simple. You just have to look at which target is flashing for which card you want to shoot and then you shoot that card on that ball and you Was that double your bonus? Oh, this is not choker poker. So, we were talking about the wrong game. Did they not have Joker poker? Did they not have Bat Girls in the We're playing Bat Girls instead of Joker Poker. Just kidding. I mean, another game, you know. So, Bad Girls. One thing that is important on this game that I think Ariel just missed was the skill shot because it will light your lock which is dropping this eightball target here. And then you just need to hit it up into the saucer to and that starts your multiball. Do you know how to do you know where the skill shot is? You have to plunge it so it rolls over like a switch here, right? Mhm. And then it has to come down. Exactly. So you don't want to plunge too far. You don't want to plunge too. Too short. Yeah. If you don't get that, how do you get multiball then? You just have to drop the Aball uh target. So you you drop the target over there and then you shoot it in there. Carrie just did it perfectly. There you go. Just getting pumped up. Listening to music in multiball. Uh spinners are lit, which is a good strategy. Uh you can go for the drop targets here. And you see how fast it comes out of that left feed there. Yeah. And it drops it up like right near your flipper. I've noticed the best thing is to just keep the flipper up because otherwise you'll lose your balls. So, just to let you all know real quick, it's on the uh tournament director that they put in Joker poker, but it is bad girls. Unfortunately, Carl's not here right now to change that. So, it's just going to stay titled as Joker poker. Okay, thank you. Did everybody hear that? Do we have to repeat that? I think everybody heard that. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Jane, don't it's difficult to see. I think she did get her skill shot. I think her lock is lit right now. The post saved her. I would say that was planned, but she was flipping, too. So, it is nice when it's there, though. Yes. Sometimes when you flip in those center posts, you can have the opposite of that. So, what have you guys been doing in multiball? Like you were talking about the spinners being lit. Um, I like to go for the drop targets and then do the re-rackck. Mhm. cuz I wouldn't go for that in single ball play. No. And that can be worth millions of points, right?
    30:39
    So, she's out of multiball. You just want to get back in there. And it doesn't get it doesn't get harder to qualify or anything. You could just do multiball over and over. Mhm.
    30:52
    If you were in single ball and you had that rerrack close though, would you would you go for it? No, I would still wait for multiball, I think. Yeah, I I I think those targets are just too dangerous.
    31:19
    So, one thing you don't get by watching this from home is you might not see that these players have been playing and qualifying for hours and hours to get here. Mhm. So, when you get in the finals, especially in the last round, you've got a lot of time and effort spent and you're managing all that as you're trying to make the best of it. Definitely. I think she's in re-rec. Oh, she is. So, this is I don't know. It's It's really hard to get all those standups. It It is really hard. And And And the bonus keeps going down. What makes it go back up, though? Does anyone know? I don't know. Is it just as you hit more targets than it goes back up? I noticed it was jumping back up. I mean, probably. I think that's very likely.
    32:17
    inlanes are so tight. Like I feel like the ball barely fits in them, but it still goes out it somehow. Oh, very nice over there. Okay, she's going to probably try and There she goes. Rlock her ball. Start her multiball again.
    32:36
    So, she holds that flipper so that the ball jumps up and whale away. Oh no. Okay, let's get That's the thing in this game, like you can very easily get back into that multiball again. She already lit her lock again by shooting that April target down. And there she is back back into multiball.
    33:04
    Yeah, you really want to keep that flipper up when that ball comes.
    33:13
    and a tilt. Is there much bonus in this game? Um, I I'm not sure. I don't think so.
    33:24
    We'll pay attention. Yeah, it never really showed a bonus countdown when I've played it.
    33:32
    All right, Emily stepping up, coming off her win on the first game.
    33:38
    And so far, none of these scores are too crazy. So she could easily make a statement here and push ahead.
    33:50
    Punch too far for the skill shot. Yes. And with the way this papa scoring works, if you win the first two games, you are through. Everyone else is playing for the consolation prize. Well, there could be a tiebreaker technically. Oh, that's tricky. Sorry. If someone gets two seconds, if you get last last.
    34:14
    Okay, getting that ball in there. You can see that she's trying to go for that uh for that multiball. Okay, gets the eight ball down. Almost.
    34:33
    [Music] It's another thing I like to do in this game is uh just keep hitting this right orbit. The value builds every time you hit it. It keeps going up. Yeah. I saw this like 200,000 500,000. So you can see even with that tight out lane, the ball loves to get through there. Mhm.
    34:57
    Okay. Ariel over here. So, she was probably not happy with her first ball, but you can see that the scoring on this game can be pretty close.
    35:08
    And it's pretty simple. Just same strategy, get those multiballs, keep it going. I do know. Oh, no. I'm pretty sure that Carrie picked this game because I think she actually owns one. Oh, okay. Well, I had never played one before. It's also interesting that it has a back glass that says Bone Busters on it, even though it's a bad girls. I mean, those skeletons could be very bad girls. Who knows? They They were bad girls. Yeah.
    35:43
    There. I think she's got it. Yeah. Another shot at it. Ah, that's got it from the lower flipper. I like it that that shot can be made from both the upper flipper and the lower flipper. Me, too.
    36:01
    And it seems like a relatively safe upper flipper. Usually in this era, a lot of people don't use the upper flipper because it tends to put the ball in more danger. Yeah. No, this this one has been very nice. It's like what you may hit is those drop targets and sometimes the feed from the drop targets can be can be dangerous but it it feel like overall it's safe pretty safe to use it. She's very close to getting her uh rerrack. She needs to shoot that eightball target
    36:36
    which is where she'd go for multiple anyways, right? Yes. So, what happens? Does the drop target pop up after Oh, no. The drop target's up right now, right? It is up right now. Yes. And you can see it's like flashing a like purplish light on the left.
    36:59
    still pulled ahead a little bit. I just saw her bonus count. Like, there's some bonus, but I don't think it's it's a lot. It's like a few like 10,000s that she had in bonus.
    37:15
    Okay, Jane stepping up. Is this a bonus multiplier? Probably. Okay, because I think it says it says something down here as well. I cannot see I cannot see what the most right one is. That's a 10x, right? Yeah. But I've heard that's a very dangerous shot to intentionally make. Yes, definitely.
    37:42
    Just about the design of the game, I find that upper little scoop kind of funny because you cannot really aim for it. It just like falls in there. But you do get a nice feed on your right on the upper flipper from there.
    37:56
    Back in the multiball. If you're in rereck, your your skill shot is 200,000 points if you can make that. Oh, really? Okay. Yes. Still in rereck. Just Okay. Just timed up. It's really hard to get all those letters in time. Mhm. So, you said in multiball the spinners are lit. Is there another way that you know to like the spinners? I am not sure.
    38:39
    Oh, that's tough. And that ball comes out of nowhere. Yeah, I find I I find that feed because it comes like right to your flipper. It doesn't go just into it doesn't go into the in lane. It just comes right to the flipper real fast. But when you're in multiball, you're focusing on one and not always seeing exactly what the other one's doing. Yeah.
    39:18
    It seems like no one really tries to control during the multiball. It's just let the balls fly around a lot. Hit everything that's possible. They'll they'll hit some drops. They'll hit some drops. Yeah, I do like what you were saying like trying to get the um get some spinner action going during multiball. Especially the left spinner is is is easier.
    39:43
    Okay. Well, that turned things around a little bit that ball. Yeah, it's getting interesting. Jane in the lead with 2 million and the rest is kind of close. Ariel really wants to do something because she took last in the first game and she needs some points to have a chance at at making it through. Mhm. And with making it through, you mean winning it? Yeah. There there's nothing after this. That's the ultimate making it through right there. I think because Oh, yeah. There she go. Yeah, it's like it did pass the gate a little bit, but it went back. So, she did get her skill shot. So, her multiball is lit. Oh, nice uh nudge to keep it in. Very nice.
    40:32
    No, I found the right outline. I do think that her her points per minute were pretty high on that one because she went from 300,000 to over a million. Yeah, but with Emily in last right now, that sets up potentially if she doesn't do really well on her third ball to have a pretty close game three setup with the points. Yeah, let's see what Carrie can do first.
    41:08
    she's got the eightball lit to start the rereck. there. And her almost got it in there. Almost. Oh, very nice there. Yes. Okay. Oh, so spinners are lit during rereck. Okay. Okay.
    41:30
    Multiball ready to start. Rear wreck is over. She really wants that shot. pressure.
    41:55
    Okay. Good. Very nice there. Very nice save. You can really see a good player that even when the ball's trying its best to be out of control, they're they're doing everything they can to Wow, nice. Oh, very nice there. Okay. Okay. I do think I think that during all of this, she got re-re. Yeah.
    42:34
    That was a nice inlay there. That looked like she went for that.
    42:45
    She was fighting. So 1.5. She passed Ariel. And you know that's not a bad tilt because she knew she needed more points. So she wanted to save that ball. Mhm. With the bonus not being crazy. That's it's good to try. If you're not tilting, you're not trying. [Music] Okay, Jane is going to let us sit for a second.
    43:10
    Why do people wait? Cuz you don't want to get some of that swing from that tilt bob that the other player just got. You want to let that tilt pop saddle. And And I know there are tournaments that put earplugs on tilt pops to make sure that they settle real fast. Do they do that here? I don't think so. I'm pretty sure they don't. They would have told us if they did.
    43:51
    someone someone told us they do actually have earplugs. Oh, they do? Yeah. Okay.
    43:59
    I didn't normally when tournaments have it I there's a sign somewhere that says it so I didn't hear it anywhere. Okay, cool. Very nice over there. So she's got her her rereck already. that shoot that eightball there which I think like once it's lit becomes the most difficult shot in the game. There you go. She's got it which also means that very nice there. That rack's going down. It's a hurry up. No regret. Still solid score. But you could see what she was trying to do there. She was trying to get her multiball going during her rereck. All right. Last chance for Emily here on this game. What's her What's her first goal? Just over a million. I don't think Oh my gosh. This game did not give her a chance.
    44:59
    Okay, so that's two games in. Where does that put us? Jane will be in the lead with six points. Indeed. Carrie will have three. Ariel one and Emily will have four, right? Yes. Anyone. So, yeah, anyone could still win it in a number of different ways. Uh, no. So, the person that has one cannot win at any time.
    45:24
    Ariel has one because she has six. Yep. Yeah. It's always, you know, you do that math for years and years and you still kind of have to stop and think, okay, how does it work again? Uh, somebody, by the way, asked me about me being a knitting champion and that they say that I didn't knit anything today. I've been knitting a scarf and it's almost finished. So, after this, I'll play some more open and you have to wait for an hour on Batman Forever. So, I'll may be able to finish my scarf today. Well, that's why it's called Batman Forever. Yeah, it lasts forever. So, what are we doing? We're at the 2024 in Disc Women's Final Match. This is the last game of the tournament. Star Trek NextG. This is a fun game. I love this game. I like it, too. This I don't know if I'd love to play it right now. Sorry. Yeah, this one plays really nice with that juicy spinner. It didn't play nice for me in the in the semi-finals even though I picked it. But I do like how this one plays. And Carrie loves this game. Um had the highest score on it during qualifying. But I think that I saw Ariel. Was it Ariel who put up a pretty good score? And Emily as well. Ariel and Emily. Yeah, I think both of them put up a very good score. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I think I saw Emily hitting up to like three billion on it in her previous game. Honestly, this is going to be an exciting game. So, what are players going to do on this game, you think? I've seen players uh do the Picard maneuver once we see the play field, we can show you what it is. Um, you want to get to warp warp factor 9 and then it will start going 9.1, 9.2, 9.3 and you get a lot of points there. Um, I think that's main mainly what the people will try and do. Yeah, that's what I've been seeing most often. Yeah, multiball is set up pretty hard on this one because you cannot light a lock on the plunge.
    47:16
    So, when they're plunging, uh, depending on what's shown on the screen is an award. Yes. So, Arrow went for warp factor four. Yeah. And now you can uh by shooting the left loop and shooting the the side the side ramp, you can uh get your warp factors up. And as those increase, it's worth more and more points, right? Yes. She just couldn't keep looping that ramp, though. What's nice about that ramp, it will add 5 million for each shot, and it's part of the mode. So, she gets 50 million for her delithium crystals. If you do a mode good enough, like you don't even have to finish it, but if you do good enough, you will get uh the lithium crystal award, which are nice points, and I think you use those in the in the in the end game of this game, the wizard mode. Yep. If you do all the modes, then you get extra score based on how many crystals or items you got, right? Yes.
    48:17
    My main question is, will we see a video mode? M I love the video mode in this game. Yeah. And then does somebody know it by heart? I did it at one point in time. I couldn't tell you what to do now. So Ariel is clearly going for the strategy of modes or at least like that's Oh, there another mode, another another chip, another item. Um I do think that that can be worth quite a lot of points too. Like you can see that in a short time she built up almost 300 million and they're more fun. Sometimes shooting the same shot over and over again gets a little old. All right, solid start. Yeah. Okay, let's see what Carrie will go for.
    49:08
    You saw her trying to go for that side ramp. There it is. There we go. She showed showed us the way. Yeah. And that move is called the picard maneuver. Get the kick back. Oh, that was a tough one. What is what is unfortunate about the warp vector strategy is that for the next ball you have to start over again. It it won't remember where you were. Sure. Yeah. And also, if you do really well, then you can't start at as high of a warm factor, right? Yeah. If you do really well, like I think if you made it to warp factor 9, the next skill shot choice will be warp factor 2 where this one is warp factor 4. And at four, you can see it lights the spinner. And I think she's getting some nice millions in the pop bumpers, too. Nicely done. There's that Picard maneuver. They're going to look to just keep doing that over and over. I do like it in this game that there is a lot of different strategies. There's going for modes, there's going for multiball, there's going for the warp factor, and you can kind of pick like what you feel most comfortable with. And that was nice. She got to choose which mission. So, you can pick the one that's easier to do or more beneficial. I like unfortunately the game said I like picking time rift and I think if you're really good at the upper ramp. I've heard that if you pick Q, you can kind of keep that mode going if you can yeah hit like the loop and upper rep combo. Um I'm not as strong as it so I haven't done it but this is the strategy I got from Kaylee George who likes loops. He likes to loop things. Really? Yeah, he likes loops. Yeah.
    50:53
    Okay. Return to duty. Oh, not quite. Yeah, it's very difficult to Oh, nice. It's difficult to hit that ramp uh when it doesn't come from the loop. Like, it needs speed. It needs speed behind it. That was two really good saves and the machine rewarded her with the third unsaveable. Yeah.
    51:21
    Well, still pretty much anyone's game. You can you can score billions in this game. So, sticking with the warp factor path.
    51:38
    Oh, those outlanes are so Oh, she's going to get back. That was lucky. Yeah. Oh, yeah. The game is also set up that the kickback is not lit. Oh my gosh. It just wanted out. These outlanes are extra hard compared to a lot of pinball machines because the slings are above the exit for the for the outlane and they're angled outward. There's no rubbers on the outlane post. So, you see people just you just try and make a move. You try and shimmy it some way and hope it was the right one. And also, this is one of the most heaviest games in pinball, I think. Like, it's one of those white bodies. So, trying to move it, you're just going to give yourself a pinury. And yes, you can injure yourself playing pinball. Mhm.
    52:31
    There we go. Shooting that loop. Shooting that ramp. Very nice. She might do it again. All right, double spinner now with war factor 7. Yeah, that's really nice. Okay, let's see if she can shoot that spinner again. There you go. Spinner. Very nice. All right, war factor 9. So, she has 10 seconds. Oh my, that is awesome. She's nailing it. Oh. Oh, she was really feeling it, too, right before it went down. But this will give her a very nice lead. Yes, that was efficient. Mhm. Now you see why that strategy pays off. You just got to get it get it moving. Now for ball three though, it will be more difficult for her to actually That's true. Get in get there because she needs to start at two now. Well, factor of two. Yes. Which is just too extra for the universe, right? Yeah. I mean, if she could nail them like she was shouldn't be a problem. Okay. Jane trying to get control of the ball and shoot that loop. Shoot that rim. Very nice. Do it again. And there you go. All right. Double spinner. Oh, very nice. Gets away with a miss. Wow. Look at that score. Just shoot up. Yep. Get it. Double spinner. Another rip. Nice. Okay, now she's in warp factor 9.1. It's all right. Good control. Keep it going. Okay.
    54:04
    The countdown totally doesn't make you nervous at all. No, not at all. One more shot at it. Okay. Just in time. Okay. Yeah, you get it will start over again the countdown. So that is that is nice, right? Excellent control getting the ball back. Look at that. That's nice. 9.5 still. Good job. Got some stuff done. Fantastic.
    54:40
    Okay, Emily stepping up to the game. [Music] She knows what to do. She just watched two people do it pretty successfully.
    55:16
    That's nice. Okay, she lit her lock with that right orbit. Mhm. Let it bounce. over. Okay. All right. Now she's filling up. There you go. In the groove. Little late. No problem. Okay. Warp seven. So, she's got the double spinner now. Ah, it was like the ball just passed through without hitting the spinner. Oh, no. [Music] Oh, she'll still start with four as the skill shot. Mhm.
    55:52
    Okay, Ariel stepping up to the game. So, she can still win this and get second potentially, right? Which is I think $800 something dollars. Let me see. $875 per second. So, there you go. Still a lot to play for. Okay. Very nice. She says, "Oh, you're all doing this. Okay, I'll do it, too.
    56:23
    [Music] Oh, very nice. I do think that is very difficult on this one. Like you need some speed behind it. So, she hit it just right there. Good decision.
    56:41
    Kickback is lit. It's always nice to have. She's looking at that mode saying, "H, I'll take it." Mhm. Well, I find this a difficult mode. You get it in those cannons and you have to hit the target and the ball can just get it get can get a bit wild out out of those cannons. Even if you miss, you still have a chance to put the ball in the shot and puts you back in the gun. Oh, that's a nice shot there. And we'll go to the other gun. Close. Very close. getting some spinner action. What I do like about that mode is it warms you up if you play a multiball later when the guns become important again. Okay, level three early.
    57:36
    So, the neutral zone is lit. That's another multiball, right? Yeah, it can also be a mode, I think. Unless my game was being weird when I played it, but [Music]
    57:57
    Yeah, in this mode there's like three shots I think you want to make. One of them is that one and the other one was the upper flipper which we started to go for. I was going to say you can get double value for mode and warp.
    58:16
    So, where does that put her? She still has a chance for some coins for a point. Yeah, this puts her I mean, of course, everybody else still has to play their ball, so there's no guarantee points, but right now that puts her in third place. But ultimately, the next three players are going for first. Yes.
    58:43
    What are we going to see? Is it going to be left orbit into orbit? Oh, you don't say.
    58:56
    Oh, nice save. Danger. Oh, no. She knew it, too. Yeah. This this this this means that Jane wants to put as much pressure as she can on Emily. Yeah.
    59:16
    Because if Jane wins this, then she wins. And then Emily wants to definitely try and pass her, of course, because that would mean that Emily wins. And then there's a number of other things that could happen based on these next two balls.
    59:56
    There we go. Or protector, too. Oh, but she still has a substantial lead. And we'll see if it's enough.
    60:12
    This is it. The last ball of the tournament. Emily has to put up a monster ball, but it could be done. And as you've seen, we've seen her do it. It's only what, seven warp ramps to get there, maybe. Mhm. Okay. Control that ball again. Very nice. [Music] Boom. Still got it. Bump over. Bump over. It has to go all the way around for it to register it as a warp shot. So, you do get the spinner action, but she did not get the warp reward. Also, the warp light has to be lit. Oh, lots. Took the lock. [Music] I mean, the multiballs can be worth a ton of points. So, I kind of like that she she's she said the warp hasn't worked so far. Let me Yeah, let me try this cuz it's there. And also the Oh, very nice. Nice. It locks. It does lock your ball on that upper ramp as well. Okay. Oh, man. She made a couple of those. And excellent tournament. Congratulations to Jane. Yeah. Congratulations to Jane for winning the tournament. And then I think Emily scores at the end. There might be. Is there a tiebreaker opportunity? I think it is possible. No,
    61:48
    I think it is possible. Nope. Nope. There's the results. So, Jane first, Carrie second. Emily third, and Ariel fourth. All played a great tournament. Congrats to all. Thank you for watching with us. Yeah, thank you for watching. I think we're going to go to Jeff Tiolis in a second. Yep. Um and there will be more tournaments streamed on this channel. There's later today as well as tomorrow. But right now, Jeff Tiololis is going to be talking with our four winners right after these messages.
    62:23
    Hi. Hi there. Jeff Tolas here from Pinball Profile. What a great final four. We hope you enjoy it. Here on IE Pinball, we have the final four contestants of the women's here in fourth place. Let's say hi to Ariel Dutton. Congratulations, Ariel. Hello. That was fun. That was good. It was okay. Yeah. And I I see you've got the Bang Back uh hoodie on. So, uh Columbia, South Carolina. Okay. We'll just get you on the mic there a little bit. That's Columbia, South Carolina. Yeah. Fred Richardson. I know he taught you a few things there and uh what a wonderful location. But you've actually moved to Louisiana now. So, I'm in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Is there a lot of pinball there? We call it a pinball desert. Oh, no. There is not much at all, but we're trying to get things started and we should have enough for a women's state championship and open this year. That is fantastic. Both of those. And you've had a great last six months. Let's talk about Free Play Florida. You were the women's champ there, too. That had to be fun. I went to Free Play Florida. Um, won that. That was really fun. Got to see a lot of my South Carolina people there. So, that was more fun. Make it more fun because I miss all of them. Well, it's impressive. This was a huge field. Over 70 women in the championship today. I know you've been to Indis before and you didn't make the playoffs. Here you are in the top four. You've got some hardware. Definitely did not expect it. So, I was just very grateful to make the final four. It's tough going first every game, too, isn't it? I chose that. So, that's my own um I've always chose to go first. So, I don't know. There's more anxiety to me to know a score that I have to beat. Yeah. So, I'd rather just play not knowing and and not taking anything away from your play, four great players. Any one of you four could have won. So, yeah. Ariel Dutton, congratulations on fourth place. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. We are going to bring in our third place winner. And uh what a story to tell about this young woman. Emily Rayan is coming right now. We'll just wait for Emily. Thanks, Rebecca. Most welcome, Jeff. Emily, look what you get. third place. Amazing. It is pretty cool. Thanks very much. Uh Emily's from Port Moody, uh BC. So that's just near Vancouver. Vancouver. Yeah. Yeah. And I know a little birdie told me that uh a few people had to convince you to come here. Uh Eden Stam for sure. Dave Grant, even Asher Leco. Yes. It was a bit of a lastm minute situation and I was kind of like, well, I have to take this opportunity. So yeah, and it worked out. So, well, I remember seeing you last year at Yagpin, and I was told that was kind of your first big big tournament. Yeah, there was like the Vancouver flip outs that they used to do, but but not not to this scale. So, yeah, Yagpin was the first and then at the women's tournament there, I ended up one point away from qualifying for the finals. So, this feels really nice. Well, I I know it was exciting, especially first game, Funhouse. That was a monster game. I couldn't believe. But yeah, I don't know if you were playing, but Eden Stamp was like screaming. No. Yeah, I heard I was like like whoa. I was like, yeah, Emily, congratulations. I'm sure you'll be at IND. Uh again, yeah, thank you so much. Way to go, Emily. That's awesome. Okay, also from BC, we're going to bring on Carrie Hill. There she is. Hey, Carrie. How are you? Hi, Jeff. It's great to see you. Carrie Hill. Hi. Uh wearing the Neon Ranch pinball. That is uh that's your pinball place, isn't it? It is. And keep an eye out for it. We're going to have 50 plus pinball machines in beautiful Victoria, uh, British Columbia, and we're going to have some tournaments. It's going to be awesome. Oh, I'm so I'm excited. We were talking a little bit before this, and, uh, you were mentioning kind of maybe a big women's weekend is in the in the works. Yeah, we're thinking about it. It's on again, it's the Neon Ranch, so it's on a farm and we're thinking about putting together something in August for a women's weekend. Uh, camping involved and it should be a really good time. So again, keep your eyes open, like me on Facebook and all the socials so you can keep up to date for the launch. So there are people in Colorado, I'm sure you can talk to some of them here. There's a legendary place called Dory Hill that does camping and pinball and it is packed. It is It is fun. It is what pinball is all about. But I mean, first of all, you're a great player. You've got a wonderful community there on Vancouver Island and uh what you're doing with Neon Ranch. Congratulations. Second place, that's pretty awesome. Thank you so much.

H Thank you everybody. This is just so fun. Now I have a bone to pick with you, by the way. Uh oh. You were supposed to be in the broadcast booth, but apparently you wanted to play in the playoffs and win and come second. Well, I saw it as a win-win situation. I would have loved to been in the booth with you, darling, but I uh I had to play and I was I was so excited to make the finals this year. You're in the booth getting a second place. It's the same thing. Great. All right. scratch. All right, that's awesome. Let's bring on the winner. We have a lovely trophy that uh Rebecca is presenting me. Look at this.

You said that's enough of this. Let's go to Bad Girls. Let's show you how it's done. Yeah. In this field, uh no scores are safe. I think that's what we learned. I mean, you look at the qualifying scores and people were beating them over and over and over again in the finals. So, uh it was tough, but it's really fun. And I can't believe that I'm just Oh, I've seen you win some big things before, but this one indust now you get your name on the banner. This is like the biggest the banner thing is the coolest thing. Everyone agrees. More than the money. Maybe even a little bit more than the trophy. By the way, the money $1,200. No small change. $1,200, I think. So, oh my gosh. Yeah, that's minus the commission that we're looking at there. You know what? We're going to give it to you. You earned it. So, that's awesome.

But yeah, we come into a we come into a table to to kill some time between match play rounds and stuff like that and it it brings people in and brings people together. Does it get your mind off a little bit too? Definitely does. And just kind of Okay. Reset if you had a bad game. Sometimes you have a bad game and you don't want to talk to anyone.
