Apologies for me belated statement & thank you all for your kind words......

 

 

 

Let me start by saying thank you to all involved in the Wildball league.

 

To the Hosts, I am forever in your debt. This year we visited THE finest collections of Pinball machines in Sydney. The presentation of these machines was better than 'showroom'. Each of you should be very proud of your collections and their condition.

 

In thanking all the Hosts it would remiss of me not to acknowledge their partners. The hospitality you provided was second to none, not to mention the amazing array of meals.

 

 

Saturday Night.

I would also like to thank Lindsay @Pinlinds for providing an Iron Maiden Pro and @Mar for providing the Walking Dead. These machines provided a great balance between new and (my) old games.

 

To the formal stuff.

 

Again congratulations to Mark @skids. Mark was the most consistent player across the entire year. He was the first qualifier in both Season 1 and Season 2 (which meant he was also the top qualifier for the Wildball Shield)

 

 

Season 2 Finals.

The top eight players were present to play the single elimination best of three finals.

 

For the second year in a row Skids managed to decimate all comers on Gottlieb's Black Hole. I do not know how he does it, but he manages to efficiently, economically and gracefully score more points/minute at the game than anybody else?????

 

@Defender has been playing tremendous pinball this year. He managed to knock out some big names in his progress to the final.

 

So the two Allies from Doonside faced off in the best of three final. Gottlieb's Black Hole, the battle ground. In short, Mark managed to reign supreme two games to one. Warwick put up a great fight (watching on, I thought for a time Warwicks hard work during the year was a bout at payoff. Ultimately Mark managed to grab the win).

 

The final standings.

1st @skids Mark - winner of season 2 Wildball 2018.

2nd @Defender Warwick runner up

3rd @cardini - Andrew 3rd

4th @Audioenslaved - Nate 4th.

 

I will post the full results asap.

 

 

The Wildball Shield.

 

Upon the completion for the 2nd Season final, The top 8 players across both seasons then played a Battle Royale to determine the Wildball Grand Champion for 2018. 5 through 8 played first, the lowest scores bowed out, bring the next ranked player into the fray.

 

@skids Mark

@cardini Andrew

@Rawdon Rawdon

@Audioenslaved Nate

@Pinlinds Lindsay

@Defender Warwick

@gomeroz William

@symonz Simon

 

1st round

Lindsay chooses Gottlieb's the Amazing Spiderman

Simon acquiesced.

 

2nd round

Nate comes into the battle and selects Eight Ball Deluxe and bows out.

 

3rd round

Rawdon enters the arena and made Gorgar the next battle table.

Warwick was eliminated.

 

4th round,

Andrew entered and chose The Walking Dead.

Rawdon surrenders.

 

5th round,

Mark (the top qualifier) comes into the fray with his favourite Gottleibs's Black Hole

William submits.

 

5th Round,

We are down to three competitors.

Andrew selects Banzai Run,

Lindsay narrowly defeated.

 

In the 6th Round - the best of three, Mark squares off against Andrew.

Andrew Selects Revenge from Mars and manages to take the win 2-0 (from an obvious exhausted Skids!).

 

I may have profited from a little home ground advantage ;);)(and some help on the strategy side @Rawdon :D).

 

I also want to state that all the comp games were played in great spirit and respect for each other.

 

 

Wildball VII

We will be back, bigger and better in 2019. Not only will be continue with the League, but some of us are working on some one off events, both social and competitive, to deliver some more pinball events to Sydney.

 

I will publish the Wildball calendar asap. Those that played this and prior years will be given priority for 2019 positions. I like to see what where the major pinball events are placed in the year (and avoid any clash).

 

Please feel free to provide feedback here, by PM or any other method. We are dedicated to getting Sydney to the pinnacle of Pinball events in the country :)

 

I will be contacting the Hosts to get their feedback as well.

Nice work all. My first full season at wildball. No shame in missing the finals to you guys thats for sure.

Love the competitive side to pinball. Adds another dimension to these beautiful time machines and I think holds a key to unlocking the pinball revival.

haha gotta love the Black Hole, its is a cruel beast, when you think your safe, you're not, and vice versa, anyone can get a house ball (or two)

nah you won fair and square, the only thing exhausted was my luck, you need a bit of luck in pinball. you may of had the home ground advantage, but running the league puts you at a disadvantage so it evens out in the end

 

i was quietly confident when you picked RFM, you could of picked worse :) i just had a couple of crap balls (thats what she said unto me) like i said above, ran out of luck. (ha!, if it was on Black Hole you would of had a couple of crap balls too! lol)

 

 

I also want to state that all the comp games were played in great spirit and respect for each other.

 

 

isn't thats what wildball is all about? F U N, there was no pressure, no nerves, as it was all in good fun, the way you like to play every comp!
