It's hard to get some work done this afternoon...

[OTTOgd]

Nice!

Thanks for the link!

[Lowrent]

My apologies to your boss.

Daniele Acciari who won the circuit final did an amazing thing ... he went thru all 15 rounds of the elimination and then after making it to the final four he beats out Keith in the final game of the 7 round final ... I think he takes home something like 3,300US (2,500 + eight single game wins at $100/per)

[OTTOgd]

Yeah, it was fun to watch the finals. He smashed the others on IM. Missed the final Frontier game.

Great commentary and camera on table, score and player, which was cool.

[Chris Bardon]

I only checked in on this a couple of times through the day-I saw that Daniele was in at the beginning, and then still in the running after 12 rounds or so, and he ended up winning the whole thing? Wow, that's a LOT of pinball... It's one thing to come in and win one or two rounds, but it's another to be playing all day and still manage to beat some of those guys.

Cool format idea too!

[OTTOgd]

Wow! Kickin' butt!

GO MAURICE!

GO BARRY!

GO MIKEY!

Squid, A bunch of us in "C" division couldn't go this year due to work, wife, life and a bunch of other non-pinball related crap that got in the road. lol.
Sorry we couldn't represent. Next year.

Missed the finals in the illustrious D div by 2 points.

Still a blast overall and I'm happy with how I've done. Clearly I need to buy a few more machines to round out my skill set...

Same here Warlock I will be there next year although don't think you can know what div you are before you get down there and play it out in qualifying (a couple of guys that have been in topl about a year both were in A and held in there almost until the end ..

Still I missed that Jeff from the LOPL had qualified in the C div so with finals starting this morning there is at least one person from Ont/Que in each final

In the A div John and Adam qualified (as did Robert from Van City)
In B Div El Presidente Mr Clinton qualified , so did Jack Tatum and Adam from the MPPL
In C Div Jeff from the LOPL
In D Div Simon from Topl

There might be a name or two missing but it's good to see representation across the board.

Those who know me know that I am not much into the points side of the pinball equation, but I couldn't help tracking movingpictures progress at Pinburgh, and Hosers' as well. Adam and Kristina came by the MTL SB office this morning and it looked like he hadn't slept in three days from the exictement of the whole thing. Hey, not bad Adam for a first time PAPA participation - congrats !

Check out Adam K, he really put Montreal on the map over there, ended up 4th in the b division if I understand these things at all.

Looks like Adam played Mike Clinton, El Presidente of ToPL, a couple times!

I don't really keep track of the points either but the coverage of the tournament was very entertaining.

It was great that, not only did they have cameras on the playfield and scores, but also on the player. You got to witness the players' pinball 'rituals', game stance and their reactions to their effort.

I really hope the tournament videos are posted somewhere, to watch what I missed.
