Finals are TONIGHT at Barcade!
Friends!
Prize tables are stocked, trophies are be polished, and moderately-impressive levels of cash and tokens are piled high and waiting for those who dare to run the gauntlet.
It's FINALS night tonight at 7:30pm at Barcade, get stoked!
HERE'S WHAT'S UP
We're gonna get started at 8pm sharp tonight, so show up early and get some practice time in!
If you have paid up and played at least one night with us, you are officially IN.
We're planning to run two divisions (A and B). The top 50% of players that show up tonight (according to the season standings) will play in the A division, and the rest will play in the B division.
Tonight's format is a 3-strike tourney:
First place takes 0 strikes
Second and Third take 1 strike
Fourth takes 2 strikes
3 strikes and yer bounced! The last player standing in each division is taking home the hardware (wait till you see the B division trophy... c'est magnifique).
Trophies for the champs, and cash/token payouts for the top 4 in each division
ALL NIGHT, everyone will be playing for the best stuff that Philadelphia's finest basements, junk shops, bargain stores, club sponsors, and fellow PPC members have to offer on the Community Prize Table.
One table will be Door Prizes, which you'll collect if any of your scores end in 00, ALL NIGHT.
The other table will be your top-grade, hand-picked super jammers: the Primos. All you gotta do is complete a listed objective for any game at Barcade (ALL NIGHT), and you're taking home the heat.
Our A Division Grand Champion will ascend into the hall of PPC legends with a permanent record of greatness on the fabled PPC cup.
Bring your game face and something to carry all the incredible shit you're gonna be walkin home with, pal.
ABOUT THAT PRIZE TABLE
In seasons past, I've written about the staggering beauty of the Community Prize Table, and what you can do to increase its levels of radness.
Well the big pitch got away from me this season, so let me simply say, at the latest hour possible, if you:
Make rad stuff
Collect rad stuff
Have a basement teeming with rad stuff
Want your rad stuff to be the best thing anyone's ever won at an adult pinball club
Then bring it on down to the Community Prize Table tonight, and lemme put a big ol label with your name right on it so everyone knows exactly what's up.
SHIRT UPDATES
We'll also have designs for the new shirts tonight! I'll get info and preferences from folks who brought shirts, and if you still want one (or more) we'll still be collecting.
If you can't get something to me tonight, but don't wanna miss out, reply here and we'll work it out.
Everything's gonna get printed up by the eternal champions Kendell and Kayla, and Dylan has graciously offered to let us keep the shirts at Barcade for pickup, so keep your eyes peeled for some updates on that in April.
And finally, for anyone who can't make it tonight, I'll send out another newsletter with the designs and coordinate with folks in the coming days.
CONGRATS (AND A PPC GIFT) TO BARTENDER CHRISTY!
Lynn recently let us in on the exciting news that bartender Christy is expecting!
We're planning to put a little gift together in celebration, and will be taking donations tonight if you'd like to contribute!
