PARTY STATS:

 

The party took place on December 13, 2003. In all, there were 43 people. Not a bad turnout considering it is the holiday season. Everything ran from 4:00p.m. to 3:00a.m. Whew......11 hours of pinball.

Aside from a few ball hang-ups over the evening, everything went very well. I only removed the glass once on Road Show to clean the "dozer" optos (before realizing they would eventually need replaced). We had a great time. In fact, the tournament games were played a lot and the guests stayed a long time.

Here are the various game stats. Keep in mind that my games are set to 5-ball play. Medium-Hard settings. Max 1-EB per ball-in-play. Terminator 3 and Road Show were ongoing tournaments, so their stats may be altered a bit.

 

 

Here are the stats (in year order):

1. TAXI
Avg. game time: 3.15
Total plays: 58

2. FUNHOUSE
Avg. game time: 3.56
Total plays: 56

3. THE GETAWAY

Total plays: 49

4. THE ADDAMS FAMILY

5. FISH TALES

So, there you go! Safe Cracker is the winner for total amount of plays. Then again, SC also exhibits almost 1/2 the gametime of the second and third place winners (T3 and RS). So, you be the judge. Once again, Medieval Madness works its way to the top area. And, it's neat to see White Water also floating to the top.

The tournaments were a lot of fun. It was great seeing people compete. Here were the results (*one win per person):

TERMINATOR 3:

1st place: 121,257,390 - LAL (Larry Lewis). Won the Terminator 3 "T-Shirt" and small mug.
