What a fantastic event this was! Kudos to Rob and Mike and everyone else behind the scenes who made this fun for everyone (Josh, Sharon and others). Running a tournament for almost 70 participants on 40 year old machines on a hot June day is not for the faint of heart. It was great to see such a big turnout from Ottawa, Montreal, and all points in between. Alfred. Ontario is now a pinball destination!

It was a pretty cool day indeed, we had lot's of fun my son and I.

Tournament was wild, games were brutals (looking at you, Space Invaders) :mrgreen:

Haven't been around so much local pinball enthusiasts for a long time, nice atmosphere.

Also I love the "Franglais" side of this community, only love, respect and good spirit.

C'était vraiment le fun, merci aux organisateurs et bonne continuité !
