Hey all
The SWPL started tonight at my joint.
13 members turned up , including a new guy from The Gong who made contact with me after the article in the Illawarra Mercury the other week.
The night went pretty well - with no hiccups.
The main comp was held on my T3 machine.
We each had 2 games on the machine and the combined scores gave us our total finish points / positions for the night.
My mate BERT had a 1st game 'fire ball' - the average type of game score on this machine with the settings I have it on ( hard ) is around 20 - 40 million, so BERT opens up with a 168 million first game #@#
He won the night #*#
The results for the 1st round can be seen here - http://home.kooee.com.au/brainsnap/ladder.htm
We also ran a ONE ball comp on the night - on Creature from the Black Lagoon - the winner was Rollerball who scored himself a T shirt from The Pacific Pinball Museum in CA.
Our players are playing for these trophies along with a $250 RTBB parts voucher, a waterfront seafood restraunt voucher, Sennheisser headphones , custom SWPL winners T shirts and other prizes.
