GREAT NEWS for those in the ACT & the surrounding region! ^^^
Thanks to Canberra's VICE CITY PLAYERS, it's your shot at qualifying for wildcard entry into the Australian Pinball Championship being held at PINFEST in Caves Beach, Newcastle on 27 & 28 September 2014.
Here's what you need to know;
WHEN - 6PM Saturday AUG 16
WHO - Open to all comers!
COST - $25 entry (inc pizza)
WHERE - CAPITAL PINBALL, 49 Vicars St, Mitchell ACT 2911
IFPA - accreditation to be confirmed...
Big thanks to VICE CITY PLAYERS President Elect - ZEDman who'll be helping run the night!
More info and a COMP GAMES LIST to come.
Hope you can make it for a top night of pinball & the chance of gaining wildcard entry to compete against the TOP 25 players in Oz at the Australian Pinball Championship!
Cheers
Rod

Thanks for the invite. Apart from the venue of the competition and the fact that Jose has absolutely nothing to do with AP (thankfully) and that typically the powers that run the Pinfest do their very best to keep anything related to Pinfest off AP, it may have been fun.

Thanks to carbonRod for driving this idea forward, this is gonna be a great opportunity to widen the pool of local players.
VCP is primarily a private group reliant on the goodwill of our private event hosts- Shane, Milo and Rod have hosted so far and deserve recognition with thanks. @@*
Hosting a public tournament is a large step forward. This will be the first public event hopefully leading on to events in other venues who are already interested.
In my usual style I will say, there's no need for anyone else to get too attached to the idea of gaining Wildcard entry cause its gonna be all mine! <.>

Huh, reminds me of the Sale of the Century gift shop segment :lol:
-
Good news folks, we have just received a second Wildcard spot!
Due to space restrictions we have to limit the event to 30 players. It probably won't be a problem but please understand that a "HOUSE FULL" sign will be posted if it happens.
Ok see you tonight for fun!
