[QUOTE="McGuirk, post: 158364, member: 39"] I started a job in NYC last fall, and was very happy to see that I was somewhat close to Modern Pinball, from Steve Epstein and Steve Zahler. I took advantage of this by joining their casual pinball league, and quickly found I was outclassed. But I just wanted to have some fun and make some friends, so it was all good. I ended up winning 4/10 weeks, which isn't awful, but was still towards the bottom. The semifinals were last Tuesday, and I even prepared by doing extra practice before. Turns out none of it was necessary, because my two semifinal opponents never showed. So here I am in the finals this coming Tuesday, on a bye, basically. It's one four-person group, rather than a 1-on-1 match. How many of you have experience playing in tournaments, particularly the finals? The list of tables is a bit tough (for me, anyway). Spent about 3 hours there yesterday, and will be watching PAPA videos this weekend. What else do you do to prepare? World Cup Soccer (hard not to do well on this table) Metallica (at least I finally got multiball here, but the ramps weren't cooperating with me) Star Trek [Stern] (did poorly on this last night...man that ball moves fast) SPIDER-MAN (probably my best table) Demolition Man (left f'n loop) Avengers (AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!) The Simpsons [Stern] (no clue) Wizard of Oz (backup) (I won on this a while ago, surprisingly to me. There's so much going on, it's hard to keep track) [/QUOTE]
