Jersey Pinball Association – Spring 2010 Season is Starting!

// // No Comments » // Events, Leagues, Pinball, Tournaments

The Jersey Pinball Association is beginning a new season of competitive pinball play this Wednesday, March 10. Among the games available are: Star Trek: The Next Generation, Whitewater, Demolition Man, Monster Bash, Fish Tales, FunHouse, The Addams Family, Star Wars: Episode One, and Attack from Mars. Along with traditional league play, there will be another side tournament in the style of “Pinball Golf” where you have up to ten balls to reach a target score. Each entry builds up a cash jackpot which I will award at the end of the season. PinGolf replaces the Gauntlet from last year. I hope that many players, from inside and outside of the JPA League, will try to qualify for the PinGolf Final so that there will be a huge jackpot prize pool.

But… what about nudging the machine? If you TILT, do you get shocked? The “Battle the Power” feature on Twilight Zone would be a Zen experience with this hookup. Thanks to Jesus Diaz on Gizmondo for finding this. By the way, Jesus and his wife have joined the NYC Pinball League at Amsterdam Billiards. Good luck to both of you this season.

Arcade Hunters Revisits 8 on the Break

Anytime my “home arcade” is featured, I have to post about it. Once again Nick! does a great job detailing some of the changes that have happened at “The Break” since his last visit. I wish he would visit during one of our league nights (Wednesdays) so that he, and his crew, could meet some of the pinball regulars. Speaking of which, the next season of the Jersey Pinball Association is set to start in early March. I’m sure that I speak for all of the members of the League when I say that pinball players of all skill levels are welcome to compete.
