There has been a massive load of pinball stuff happening in Sydney in the last year, more than I have EVER seen, and there is even MORE planned for the next year ahead - this is growing REAL nice at the moment

There is a couple of guys that run fairly regular comps in the public eye ( in pubs ) and one of them had another comp due in July - that has now been moved to August as it is apparently going to now be 100+ players and will have more media attention ( TV? )........I reckon it has been moved to coincide with what Bruce announced on this TEN program to be honest.........it's all happening boys......its all happening ^^^

Bruce announced the AC/DC National champs will run in ALL States with winners being flown in to the finals with accommodation and flights PAID FOR ......I mean COME ON guys - follow this through in YOUR State and at least find out the schedules etc - all it is gunna take is an email to Bruce and a posting with those details here and then people can see what is coming up in thier area's - http://pinballtroubleshooting.com/ACDC_Pinball_Championship/Australian_ACDC_Pinball_Championship_Slide3.htm

We all need to strike while the iron is HOT and attend these events IF possible, this could be 'our moment' @@*

Great TV show for sure. I watch it every morning for Magdallena Rose....mmmmmm. #*#
Pass on the Ac/Dc comp..if it was a pinball comp with more games I would be in but to limit it to one title is lame imo.

Great story. Pinball has been "back" for 2-3 years. The media have JUST picked up on it now. But I'm glad they have, as any positive exposure is GOOD exposure.

Melbourne has forfeited from this comp, due to a technical issue.
