Pinfest 2020

[Wayne J]

Pinfest was due to start today.

Rather than getting sad about missing out on a great weekend of pinball, competition, drinking, meeting up with friends, etc.
Why not post your pics from last year to remind us of the good times?

I'll kick off with the trophy winners from the Main Comp itself, along with the UK Pinball League A&B winners.

Although I don't miss this part of the weekend

the case of the lost tickets *LOL* I've never laughed so much at a non-existing panic

and well done to the officials for handling it so well;

I'd forgotten about the panic with the software system going down, and the potential for chaos.
Luckily Paul had a backup plan - you can't go wrong with scraps of paper

stall ball videos:

I thought I'd uploaded last years to youtube but can't find them will do that tomorrow.

 

[Matt Vince]

Being selfish, one good thing about all this disruption is that i get to look at the Pinball Wizard trophy for another year!!

I’m always amazed at how much fun my wife, children and grandchild have at Pinfest yet they seldom want to play on machines in our games room!

room!

When I say 'stall' you say 'ball'

 

[Martywolfman]

Most likely the only pinball trophy I will ever win

My son was over the moon at making it into the Quarter Finals of the NBA Competition

Really weird feeling this weekend. Today I'm just wandering around the house like a lost child. Should be busy busy busy! And trust it to be one of the coldest August weekends ever. But the main pinball room would probably still be a furnace

And then he met the big mean bully in the quarter final. I still feel bad, he was so sad

 

[Andypc]

Don't feel bad, he was fine. Learning how to lose gracefully is an important life lesson. He had a great weekend and did well to get the Quarter Finals.

Hopefully next year will be back to normal but looking back, it is amazing how much we shook hands when handing over a trophy.

You tell that to the kids of today, and they wont believe you!

Elbow bumps may become the new fad
