anyone know who the organizer is ?

 

[Vengeance]

No idea, wish I could go

 

[Menace]

Yeah, me too. Getting downtown during the week isn't fun for me.

Pfffffffffffffft

That's not much of an excuse, only reason I'm not attending is cause I'll be out of Country, half way across the world.

Hoping to make it out to at least one of two of the nights.

I believe the company organizing the pinballs is called Pinball Sessions. Tournaments run daily from 7pm-9pm. Before 7, and after 9 is open play.

Oh I know who that is. Its Mike Clinton's thing. Go to pinball.to for more info. Next to Vesuvio Pizzaria.

 

[Vengeance]

Its Mike Clinton's thing

Lol, no it's not

Mike is running the CPC, this has nothing to do with Mike

 

[SuperPinball]

Thanks Adam, I stand corrected. All these tounaments and festivals can be confusing.

http://www.edge.ca/2015/05/06/beer-and-pinball-festival-coming-to-toronto/?sc_ref=facebook I just saw this on the edges site sorry if it's the same article im on my mobile. I'm definitely going to make it down. Sometime next week

 

[SuperPinball]

Am I reading it correctly. 5 games with over 200 people going?

 

[luch]

not all at once , it's over 5 days or so

Yeah I was planning on going with a couple friends but then I read 5 games and 5 beers on tap :-\. I have more games in my basement so I'm thinking a trip to Toronto isn't going to be worth it for us. Seems like it's getting a lot of publicity though because I've had 3 people that know nothing about pinball send me articles about it. If there truly is a bunch of people going then those machines will be full the entire time.

[luch]

would still need more then 5 games , 1 or 2 will probably go down , then what ?

 

[Menace]

Sounds like this wasn't thought out all too well, especially with all the publicity... I can see this turning ugly quickly if they get a large turnout and everyone is waiting a long time to play one of the 5 games.

[luch]

Is it just me or with one game being played each night , the line up for playing a game on the machine will be out the door . Launches you'll be lucky if you can play 2 games to count your scores over 3 hours and that's with 30 people . good luck with this

 

[SuperPinball]

I agree, the math doesn't seem to add up. 5 games is not a festival. That's when you realize just how valuable and what a bargain organizations like TOPL are.
