Join us Sunday November 1st in saying farewell to our partner at The Sanctum, Matt Boschert  who’s been helping us run this place for the last 10 years as he moves off to his new home in North Carolina. Come out and celebrate with him one last time as we host our @sternpinball Fallout Premium launch party. Everyone is welcome and we hope you all can make it to give Matt a great send off.

Custom event patches will be made and handed out for everyone who plays. Format will be pace Matchplay. You will play in groups of 4.  Scoring of 7/5/3/1.  Play will continue for 6 rounds.  After the 6th round everyone below 24 points will be eliminated.  After round 6 the line will go up by 7 points every round.  So after round 7 you will have to have 31 points or you are eliminated.  Play continues until only one player can make it above the cut line after a round.  Expect a crowd 70-100 people.  Event will grade out in the high 90’s for TGP percent for those looking at WPPR points from the IFPA.  All games used in this event will be made before 1993 to keep things fast paced and more social.

Open for free-play tonight but we have to cancel the three strike tournament originally scheduled. We’ll have our events back on schedule for next week with a PACE Matchplay event followed by our Transformers launch party on Monday the 10th.

Tonight’s format is PACE Matchplay. Next week is max Matchplay head to head, followed by three strike knockout the week after that. Every Monday this summer we rotate like that through those three formats. That schedule goes until September 9th. September 14th we start our next season of CRAP league and 1 strike Afterparties. Doors always at 7 and be signed in by 7:30. Open to anyone who doesn’t wish to compete as well for freeplay all night every Monday as well.

Closed Monday 5/25 for Memorial Day. We will be open Wednesday instead. Week 6 of poker league will take place this night as well.

Join us for Stern Pinballs Pokemon Launch Party on Sunday April 26th at Noon. $25 entry fee for the day for the tournament and freeplay on all machines. Many prizes and giveaways such as Pokemon Lego sets, Pokemon cards and Stern Pinball translites/swag/promotional material. Payouts and custom trophies for the top 3. Qualifying rounds will be Pace Matchplay. Groups of 4 will go out and play a single game with 7/5/3/1 scoring. After 7 rounds a Pace score of 24 will be set. Anyone below 24 points after 7 rounds will be eliminated. After that each round the Pace goes up by 6 points. If you fall below the new pace of 30 after round 8 you are eliminated. Each round will alternate between classic games one round and modern games the next. This goes on until we have 16 players remaining to make the cut for finals. Any ties at the cut line to make it into finals will be broken on a single game of Stars.

Finals is a head to head bracket. Best of 5. All games will be randomly selected for each matchup with them alternating between classic and modern each game. Event will likely grade out to around 150% TGP

Translite provided by stern will be randomly raffled off at the start of the event. We will have other fun events happening alongside the main tournament such as an insider connected high score leaderboard on Pokemon. All players(Trainers) will randomly be assigned a Pokemon card when they sign up and will later be revealed. Before we start the event we will have each player then choose a Pokemon to pick as theirs to bring to battle. Once all players have chosen a pokemon we will reveal the pokemon everyone was assigned at sign ins. That is the pokemon you will be rooting to win and if the pokemon you chose places in the top 3 you will also recieve a prize for the event.

Added bonus! If you come in costume you will be awarded 1 point to your starting score towards the Pace Matchplay qualifying portion.

We will be closed tomorrow(Monday) due to the snow. League week 7 and Afterparty tentatively scheduled for Wednesday this week provided the weather is clear.

With everyone likely to not want yo go back out Monday after working and clearing all the snow we will push our open night back to Tuesday this week. That means week 3 of CRAP league will take place on Tuesday as well. Same 7:30 start time.
