Thank you again to everyone for coming - and to
@Hiltoncriss for hosting! What a fantastic day.
Here are my personal highlights from the day:
- David "I hate Whitewater" Bowery getting the Wizard mode on Whitewater on his first ball
- Ethan Campbell offering a 20p bounty if they could beat Greg Mott on any game - I wonder, did @Andypc get his 20p?
- Whitewater resetting because it couldn't handle Jupiter Hadley's amazing game (I think she was on 300m or so when it reset)
- A tiebreaker game on NBA Fastbreak - Nick Hamill against George Boudi (age 5). I never expected that!
- My final game on Fish Tales, up against Gene Aw, Dan Lewell and Jupiter - I managed to get Monster Fish, video mode, the multi ball jackpot and Rock the Boat and very nearly caught Gene's score up. I've never played Fish Tales so well in my LIFE (though sadly was only good enough to make 2nd)
- The final was SO TENSE - in round 3, both Greg and Paul were tied for 1st and Gene and Pete tied for 2nd. There was everything to play for and you could hear a pin drop on the final Batman: The Dark Knight game!
- Pete Bennett coming 3rd in his first ever pinball competition - he didn't know anything about the community, just heard about the Pinball Office through Facebook and has been coming each week since it opened to the public. Incredible result! (I hope his wife was pleased!)
The U16 results - these were super close with just 1 point between Effie and Pheobe!
