Can you recommend the nearest accommodation?

 

The closest is probably the Premier Hotel & Apartments on Benjamin Way, Belconnen. It's an ok place, although there's a lot more variety in the city (only around a 15 minute drive to The Basement where the comps on).

Sunday 4th November – Flip Frenzy ($20)

Registration/Check-in for Flip Frenzy closes at 6:45pm. Players must have an assigned registration number before 7:00pm. Flip Frenzy commences at 7:00pm and will end at 10:00pm.

 

What is it?

Flip Frenzy is a timed tournament. Flip Frenzy provides three hours of non-stop pinball action. The idea is to play as many games of pinball as possible and to have the best win/loss ratio at the end of the competition.

 

Firstly, each machine is assigned randomly to two players. Players must play a genuine, competitive, three (or five ball) game of pinball to determine a winner and a loser.

When the game is completed, without delay, both players are to go to the administration desk to report the result of their game. The winner scores a “win” and the loser scores “loss”.

 

Regardless of result:

• Player 2 goes to the back of the queue to await their next game assignment.

• Player 1 returns to the same machine to play another game with the player at the front of the queue. The new player from the front of the queue becomes player 1 and the returning player becomes player 2.

After the game, the process is repeated. Results are reported, player two goes to the rear of the queue and player one returns to the same game to play as player two in a new game.

 

Flip Frenzy - Other rules

• Players who are absent from the queue when their number/name called will be recorded with a “loss” and placed at the back of the queue

• All Flip Frenzy games must be played in a competitive spirit. Any collusion i.e. one-ball games) will result in disqualification from the event.

• A player is free to end their ball if they think they have enough points to win, or plunge a ball if they want to concede. However, all balls must be played and the game must be in a GAME OVER state when the players leave the game. Turning a machine on/off to end a game is not allowed.

• Any extra balls must not be played. Extra balls (if awarded) can be “skillfully plunged” i.e. you can line up a skill shot for points, but no attempt to flip the ball is allowed.

• At the end of three hours, no more games may start.

• Standings are based on net wins i.e. wins – losses = your score. The best score at the end of the competition is the winner. Cash prizes for the first three places.

 

Flip Frenzy is an IFPA registered event.

 

High Score on 3 Machines ($5 per card)

From 1:00pm, you can purchase a playing card that entitles you to play 3 games on 3 machines. Only one playing card can be submitted for the high score competition. The highest weighted score is the winner. Cash prizes.

ACT Pinball is at it again running the ACT Pinball Championships for the 4th consecutive year. That's some commitment right there!

 

The welcome mat is out and I hope some of you interstate AA members will be keen to catch up. Saturday evening shenanigans is the correct preparation for a hard day of pinball on Sunday.

 

Are ya with me- any takers?

Had a great day in the Matchplay comp and then the flip frenzy this evening. Thanks to everyone involved in running the day James, Chrys, Pete, Stevie, Ted I'm sure I'm missing someone... Also those that lent their machines! And the people I babbled at throughout the day.

Thanks for a great day at the Basement. Love the venue and the whole day was a blast. Took a minor victory on the GB side comp luckily, but well done to Wagga’s best export for the win in the main comp.
