Midwest Gaming Classic in two weeks!

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 00:00:00 -0600

Just a reminder to all that the Midwest Gaming Classic is coming up, March 27th-28th in Milwaukee. This is a combination video and pinball show, but has had a good showing of pinball machines in the past (roughly seventy or so) to play. It's worth the quick drive up to Milwaukee if you have the time!

Money Man Yancy

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 00:00:00 -0600

It's not in the rules, but a procedural change for this year has been made. The steering committee decided to make Yancy earn his spot on the SC, so Yancy will be Money Man Yancy. Every meeting, instead of twenty-some people whipping cash at the host haphazardly, members will instead pay Yancy. It's now his job to keep track of who pays and remind those who do not. At the end of the evening, Yancy then gives all the money to the host. This change is intended to lessen the burdon on our hosts by giving them one less thing to keep track of while hosting.

New rules for 2010!

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 00:00:00 -0600

The revised Chicago Pinball Mafia rule set for 2010 has been posted in the Goodies section. The executive summary of the changes is:

EOET is now open to all players (opt-in), not just the top eight from that evening.
Accordingly, EOET wins are no longer used as a tie breaker.
Anyone who attends a full evening but cannot play (due to a full roster and being an alternate, being injured, or other on an ad-hoc basis) will be awarded 24 points.
The B division tournament structure has been scrapped. B division playoff structure will now mirror the A division, except with the B players.
Byes are no longer permissible in the A division playoff. Players will be advanced as detailed in the rules.

As always, CPM welcomes feedback and discussion on the new rules in the forum.

Here's to a successful 2010 season!
