More pinball means more fun! We have just added a Split Flipper side event to this years Bat City Open. Cost is $30 per team with all money raised (less the cost of the trophies) to be donated to charity(ies) of the winners choice.
Format will be best of three games with the loser being eliminated. Game selection will be made by people smarter than me, and will begin after Classics Finals ends.

I know you all are waiting on the games list for Classics, but we had a bit of a tough time getting together enough good games, that worked, and were going to be reliable enough to survive a tournament weekend.

That being said, I will be finalizing the games list and will announce the entire list on June 14th. Again, sorry for the delay, but I didnā€™t want to announce a bunch of games early that may or may not end up in the event.

Thanks!

OK. The majority of the heavy lifting is done. Now we need YOUR help.
We need volunteers.
We need scorekeepers, doesnā€™t matter how good the software is if there is no one to put the scores in. We need cashiers, going to be hard to get entries if there is no one there to take your money. We need commentary, your not going to get internet famous if there is no one talking about you on the stream.
Please, click the link below and donate some time for us.
We are offering a $20 credit for every two hour shift worked, and Iā€™ll buy you a beverage of your choice if you work 6 hours or more.
Thanks again, and we look forward to seeing you Friday night.

Got you covered! Five different pedicab companies downtown. http://www.downtownaustin.com/experience/taxis-pedicabs/

Unknown if you can get a pedicure in a pedicab. Need to ask @Law to test that.
