This is an official Stern Army launch party for Stern Pinball's latest release - Venom! On Saturday, October 28th from 12pm - 6pm players will have unlimited attempts to put up their best score on Venom. We will only record a players top score.

At the end of qualifying, the top 8 players will move onto the group Matchplay finals where 5 games will be played. Each player in the group will get to pick one game with the top seed in each group picking the 5th game. The top 2 players from each group will then move onto the finals to determine the winner!

We will have trophies for the top 3 players along with a variety of prizes that will be given away at random to anyone who participates in the tournament.

It's only $10 to enter and all the games are on free play. Outside food and beverages are allowed as well. Hope to see you here!
