SEPTEMBER 4
Finals Start at 1 PM
Tournament starts around 3:30 PM

The Vector Committee (pinball) at the Dallas Makerspace (in Carrollton, Texas) will be hosting an "EM Mania" Tournament at the DFW Pinball League Summer Finals.

NOTE: While the address IS public, building access requires a badge.
They state that they intend to have someone "working" the door for us, but IF you have any access problems, please reach out to me (Louis Marx) or Stephen Wylie. We will be watching our devices.

The Vector Committee, amongst other things, is dedicated to the restoration of classic pinball machines - see more detail about the Makerspace at the bottom of this description.

TWO EVENTS going on.
The cost is $10 per person to play.
The first $5 pays the IFPA fees and helps with event host/league costs.
The additional $5 will go to help fund the Vector Committee at the Dallas Makerspace.
(EVENT 2 BELOW IS OPEN TO ANYONE/THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY)

Event 1
----- DFW PINBALL LEAGUE SUMMER FINALS - covered on the league listing on the IFPA calendar.
Doors open at 12:30 PM. Finals start at 1 PM.

----- IFPA TOURNAMENT -
THIS tournament starts immediately AFTER the league finals.
We estimate that will be around 3:30 PM.
Group Match Play format.

Finals TBD -- but we usually do:
(1) Group Elimination - if time and headcount allows
(2) 2 Strikes - if we have time issue
or (3) Best of 3 Brackets - if we have headcount concerns.

Late entrants are welcomed until sometime around 5:30 PM (halfway through qualifying).

THERE WILL BE PLAYOFFS FOR BOTH A AND B DIVISIONS SO ALL SKILL LEVELS CAN PLAY AND WIN!
"A" finals affects standings.
"B" does not - its for fun...
That said, we have PRIZES:
Gift Cards for both divisions from TITAN PINBALL and other places (example: Starbucks and Chik-Fil-A)
With B Division prizes, ANYONE can win!!

As always, All skill levels welcome!! It's about having fun, eating, socializing, and playing pinball!!
FOOD: Our hosts note, "There are snacks in the galley but they're kind of expensive. I would say POTLUCK or BYO would be wise."

The Dallas Makerspace is a great place where folks skilled in many different areas come to use big expensive equipment that most folks would not be able to afford or have room for on their own. It's a DIYers paradise with everything from 3D printing to automotive, digital media to cosplay, oh, and space to work on specifically pinball and arcade machines.
