Irish Pinball League 2015/16

Jack burton · 30-09-2015 8:50am #1

OK so a new pinball league is starting in October and wanted to let everyone here know the details.

Round one will be held in Waterford on Sunday the 18th of October. Practice is from 1pm until 3pm and the league games start at 3pm. Entry is 3 euro and there will be some nice food and stuff for 3 euro aswell (The league money goes to the people who run it and food money goes to me to cover the costs of buying and cooking it all

)

Its going to be held in my garage where I built my own games room this year. There should be 5 pins for playing on the day, I'll announce them sooner to the day and once they are all 100% confirmed. I'll have a few consoles hooked up aswell for some gaming goodness.

Since its in my house I wont be posting the directions up here but rather anyone who wants to come down send me a PM and I'll send you on the directions.

Hope to see a few A&R heads there

In a van or car?
I'd love to bring my pin on a road trip but my cars too small

CathalDublin · 08-10-2015 1:15pm

Jack burton · 08-10-2015 4:45pm

Cool, any pics or will there be another dedicated thread?

Jack burton · 08-10-2015 5:44pm

Ill post up a few pics tonight. Probably the roughest game ive ever seen in person.

Might be investing in a rock tumbler and all just for all the metal.

I got it cheap and have the room my garage to tip away at it

Jack burton · 09-10-2015 7:59am

Heres a few pictures of the new SF pin. Going to need a lot of work but the pf is good and plastice are all good. Apart from Balrogs plastics that has a huge blister from a bulb underneath it that I can only assume was wrong. Power cord was cut aswell so havnt even turned it on. Kind of scared to really since it could be dead.

The big damage was on the cabinet. People tried to move it with the backbox up. Must have taken some effort to break the timber because I had to chisel off the side that was attached. Its all fixable though.

Boards all look to be good though and I already started stripping the PF.

I'd love a project like that!
No more room atm and still have the unfinished poker cab (more on that later......)

Jack burton · 09-10-2015 8:28am

I was going to ask about that, I want to play some ghosts and ghouls

Jack burton · 13-10-2015 1:06pm

Just want to check again whos interested in coming to this so I can make sure I have enough food etc.

Is1ldur · 13-10-2015 1:50pm

I'm interested Jack, but I don't know any of you guys on here. I also would not have a chance in a competition! Still dying to get a few games in on Theater of Magic. The only one of those I've ever played before was in Vienna, and the chest was broken!
Don't think I've played any of the others.

Ah you dont need to know anyone.
sure none of us knew each other until last year really.
All good heads:D

Jack burton · 13-10-2015 2:09pm

Exactly what Mr. Brown said there, everyone is welcome.

and about the competition, I'm pretty **** myself at the game so I wouldnt worry about that, its just more a laugh and an excuse to play pinball really.

CathalDublin · 13-10-2015 3:46pm

I don't really know anyone, met Dave a couple times, hopefully I should be going, can you PM me your address JB? With a new baby its hard to make a definite plan. Will I bring any boards with me? GNG?

Jack burton · 13-10-2015 6:40pm

Yeah ill send you on a PM in a few mins.

Just getting everything set up for the weekend now.

Have my giant CRT set up for some console action and just one more pin to be setup on the day

Is1ldur · 14-10-2015 9:41am

Ah, sugar, I've just remembered the bloody rugby is on Sunday.....

Jack burton · 14-10-2015 1:17pm

Ah no worries. Ill have a tv hooked up showing the match on Sunday anyway

Los Lobos · 18-10-2015 9:12pm

Thanks jb for having us. You have the makings of one hell of a gamesroom going on, you lucky git.
Great spread, and great to meet ya and your better half for the first time, and see the 'nordy' crew again! Pure gents.

19-10-2015 7:19am

Need to play it more in pinball arcade before it comes up again.

Jack burton · 19-10-2015 12:52pm

Thanks for coming lads, great day.

Too bad I'm not placing dead last in the rankings, being the host with the most takes its toll, even my girlfriend bet me haha.

I'll be bringing my A game next time!

Is1ldur · 19-10-2015 9:42pm

I shouldn't have bothered with the Rugby!

Shapey Fiend · 20-10-2015 6:36am

Did you get that Gofers table from an arcade in Tramore? That was pretty grubby when I last saw it.
