The comp was HOTLY contested. I could tell by the way everyone was playing, that they wanted to take one of those trophys home !
(and the grog hopefully)
I could tell within 5 minutes, that everyone was giving it their all. Everyone was handed a typed up PINBALL COMP SCORE SHEET which had their name written at the top, with the 5 x machines listed below. Everyone wrote down their best scores for each of the 5 games. I then went n checked the highest score on each machine and it tally'd with the highest score that was recoreded for each highest scoring entrant from the paperwork.
Greg (Wizo) came fourth and was beaten only by 2 points.
Steve came 3rd and won 3rd by only 2 points.
Beaky came second and won second only by 2 points.
Pete came first and won by 2 points. (Petes 14 yr old son came 5th and beat alot of adults i might add)
Man, these scores were so very very close.
HOW WERE THE POINT SCORES WORKED OUT ?I gave the highest score on a game 10 points, 2nd got 8 points, and 3rd got 6 points and so on etc. The top 6 x places earned u points. The top 4 or 5 people out of I think 16 or more players, always came in the top 4 or so positions with consistant high scores. I know some people will say other pinball tournaments are scored differently etc, but this was a very easy n fair way to do things without getting out a super computer.
What got Pete over the line was consistency of being in the top 3 every game, on every title.
AGAIN A MASSIVE THANKYOU TO ALL WHO WERE ABLE TO MAKE IT.
Maybe we can have another meet in 3 or 4 months, and if it is as good as tonight was with so many people again, it would be another successful n fun Night and a dream come true. A special thankyou to all the mums who came and were so great n patient looking after all the kids and for letting all the dads play pinball. Without all our T'riffic wives, nights like this wouldnt happen. A huge thankyou ladies.
I handed out some more AP Benies. That was the last of the first batch of 40 plus beenies. Thats 40 beenies gone in the first 3 or so days. Hope they come in handy.
Thanks again everyone.
regards Brett and Family.
