notes

The Machines:Games will be set to default competition settings with the exception of initial reduced ball save timers off the plunge where applicable. Extra balls will be disabled unless impossible per the game. In those instances extra balls must be plunged. If any special circumstances they will be noted on the backglass of the game. All pins will be setup for a more intense experience with nuclear slings and outlane rubbers removed though remaining in the center position. Tilt bobs will be set to sensitive. This means that a game should be able to be nudged with the expectation of a warning. Two nudges or an extra strength nudge should net a double danger, with everything past that ending the ball in play and smoking those juicy bonus points. We do not want to make the games unfun to play, but also not play forever. It's a delicate balance. Ties and Malfunctions:As is the case with all pinball's, they either are or are about to break. Just expect it. In the event of a malfunction, simply raise your hand and calmly await your friendly neighborhood TD to come sort it out. Hopefully it's just a stuck ball. If it is something more it will be decided and dealt with on a case by case basis. Tournament Directors may confer with other directors to determine the best possible, most fair outcome for all parties so be patient. The TD is the final authority to such determinations and all 'say so's' are final. Prizes:Prize monies will be awarded by cash at the conclusion of each event. But wait, there's more. We like hardware around here and so do you. Expect a plaque to commemorate your badassery with all top 4 finishes for each event on both divisions where applicable. Bounties:Being the chickenhawks hunting for the chickens that we are. Bounties will be attached creatively to some pins. Some bounties are easier than others and the prize will reflect such. We have a ton of goodies to give away including pin flyers, posters, autographed memoribilia, and oh yeah, cash. Now let’s make it serious. If you complete a game task as demarcated on the golden ticket attached to qualifying pin during qualifying or finals gameplay (and someone to vouch haha), the prize will be $100. Do it on stream for double! The JetStreaM:This event will be broadcasted live on Twitch at https://www.twitch.tv/hangarpinball. Please be advised you could appear on the internet by attending. While no one is telling anyone how to dress around here, please do just be aware. Streaming rig might magically appear mid game (between players of course) to keep hot pinball action constantly streaming throughout all tournaments! Behavior:Tournament Directors are fully authorized and expected to uphold the highest of ethical standards amongst competitors. While most of us will curse a hair when needed, excessive language or machine mistreatment will be dealt the blow of a yellow-card. Collect two of those bad boys and trade them in for a very nice redcard which entitles the owner to disqualification from the present tournament. You can try again on a different tournament. If behavior is egregious, TD's may well find a red card is the immediate solution. Additional Notes:There is no “practice” when Event #5 (Best Game-Main Event) begins at 2PM on Friday August 2. All pins that are in Event #5 are to be left alone and not played. Lastly, please note the difficulty settings on each pin before playing. Please do not say “I didn’t know there was no ball save on Deadpool.” You will be given ample notes on the pins for settings.
