chopchop Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 Looks like we have around 26 for this Sunday - a good number, thanks all. reminder happy for you to drop in around 2 for practice. We will be charging $15 adult, free for under 15s to encourage younger players. Food is provided and I'll be contributing towards the Cross-Border Qld combined comp with the entry fee as well. First 3 places each meet win the cash back as prizes, trophies for the final meet/standings. There may even be an early unboxing party if my Rob Zombie arrives before the weekend........

jono Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Hi John @chopchop, I've been trying to reorganise things but I'm not going to be able to make it on the new date. Thanks for opening your house and collection up to us again this year. Hopefully I can make the next on. Have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuzz Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Seems I'm a passenger in the same boat as jono and unfortunately can't make it. Good luck to everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Noben Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Do we know what machines are on Sunday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
namastepat Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 <sigh> I am going to have to pike on this, not happy, but I have to head into work. Bummed about missing those pristine A+ grade machines :( Hopefully I can make the next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeSoap Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Do we know what machines are on Sunday? It's a head to head comp so although there are plenty of machines the draw will decide what you play and who you play against. Much different than the other comps you have played in so far.

Much different than the other comps you have played in so far. I've played head to head before, knowing which machines are in the pool is as useful. Also the first post mentioned that the list of machines could be revealed closer to the date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambo Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Thank you to @chopchop , @acejas and everyone else involved for opening up your home once again and organising a very well run social comp like this. This is the first time I have been to John's place and the word jealous is such an understatement :) I for one am looking forward to making my way down for the next one in February. Congrats to the Top 3 for today - always great to see different players at the top of the standings! Cheers, Lambo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michi Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 John, my thanks to you too for hosting the event, and for showing me the ropes on Rob Zombie :) I really appreciate what you and the other houseball hosts are doing for the hobby. Without you, there'd be only half as much fun to be had! Michi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v8racefan Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Wow what an amazing pinball collection. Big thanks to John and his family for hosting such a great and well organised event. One of my kids said on the way home that the pinball comp was one of the best days of his school holidays. Bring on round two. Thanks again.

chopchop Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 Had a great time, thanks everyone. Remember the next one is on the 19th feb, 2pm warmup, 3pm start. Happy for any suggestions, eg more food, different food, louder music....... Ive bought an cable so we can put the draw on the big TV next time, and we've got the software all sorted so will be even quicker next time. If anyone did have any issues, feel free to pm me or post - open to eveything. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michi Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Happy for any suggestions, eg more food, different food, louder music....... Food was great, thanks! Personally, I'd say no to louder music. The din from all the machines is plenty enough :) Cheers, Michi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
