Battle at the Beach 2: Results!

Big thanks running this one to Per S, Damien C, Erin R and others.  It was a lot of fun and we actually finished on time.

Huge thanks to Playland not at the Beach for all their support.  Playland has been a super supporter of pinball over the years.  There were several first-timers at Playland and they were blown away.  Not really a surprise – Playland is truly something special and much more than just pinball.  You just have to experience it.

Pinball Magic unfortunately turned into Pinball Tragic and I had to yank it from competition early on.  The other unfortunate scenario was in the Finals when both Per and Kenley suffered situations where the coin door on Scared Stiff spontaneously popped open!  Yikes!  We dealt with the situations as best we could, but on the second instance we applied around 8 lbs of tape to ensure the other finals group didn’t have the same trouble.

Other than that, things went great
