Rob - Unfortunately, AMD paid for advertising for this event with MMM - and Norbert himself assured me it was promoted in Melbourne. I know 2 tradesmen who listen to MMM all day, every day - and there was no mention of a pinball comp. the ONLY promotion of this event was on this forum. The turnout was basically the patrons that happened to be there. I have a feeling most of the finalists were also barflies as they spent more time belting the play field glass than seriously playing the game. There were three local forum members including myself.
Hopefully there will be a "real" competition one day..
Yeah by all reports most of the finalists where just guys in the pub at the right time, from what I read they where very rough on the games but as Nino said hopefully one day we get a real comp.
