After each round, the seeds are reset.  In round two, I played Pirates of the Carribean (second), Super Straight (first), Sharpshooter (second) and Terminator 2 (second).  My finishes left me with nine points.  Played with three very nice guys.  Potc played faster than any machine I have played here so far.  

For round one, I played bank 21 which included: Star Trek The Next Generation, Mars Landing, Party Zone and Roller Disco.  I had only played one of the games before today.  I lost St:Tng and Party Zone, came in second on Roller Disco and won Mars.  I think that leaves me with five points for the first round.  

My group included two guys from the FSPA and a guy from one hour north of Pittsburgh.  

Second round starts up at 1:30.  

Second round of Season 2 took place at the Boocade with 17 players making the trip. Great competitive pinball and some not so great pinball took place. Personally I rode both ends of the equation with a couple high scores on WCS and WW but played so horribly on RFM that it put me in a pinch to save the round.

Bayless put up some very consistent scores to gain the most points on the night. Scott put up a monster score on RFM and in warmups dropped a score high enough to get on the board of WCS.

Games for the night included RFM, WCS’94, FT, JL and WW. Iron Man was left out of the lineup for the night due to a random draw. The gasp that went through the room left me with goosebumps thinking that a Russian type takeover may be about to go down. Level headedness prevailed though and while it was missed it left a great game for people to grab games on once their groups finished up.

Here are the overall points after round 2.

Well tonight I’m running my third Pin(t)s for Kids tournament. These were started about two years ago as a charity tournament to benefit the local food bank’s program for providing kids with meals. Since then we have raised around $2000. Sharing a hobby I love like this is the most rewarding things I have ever done. Not only do I get to use my games to help others, but I also get a chance to share my passion with non pinheads. More often than not a story creeps out how basically everyone played pinball at some point in their lives and how great it is to be getting a chance to play again. Several of our league members were sucked in by these tournaments.

I’ll post more after the tournament but it has been a while since posting and this certainly seemed like a good thing to share.

Keep flipping- Taylor
