Congratulations to a rocking Steve Bowden, he who holds the Hulk!

The first official tourney of 2012 in NY was held at Rock Fantasy in Middletown NY thanks to the hosts [player]Steve Keeler[/player] and [player]Steve Levine[/player]. It was a big success with 31 players and 95 entries which all went to the pot! The tourney started at noon with the entry fee of $10 which let you play the set

of 5 games: Spider Man from Stern, Terminator 2, Cheetah, Nugent and Captain Fantastic. At 6:30 the qualification stopped and the top 16 made to the finals in a single elimination bracket 2 best out of 3 and all games in the store could have been used which included Rolling Stones from Stern, Seawitch, Medusa, Adams Family, Transformers LE, Gorgar, Kiss, Fireball, Meteor, and Countdown.

Note that the top 15 made plus the High score of one of the game who was seeded 16th! At around 7 pm after a little cake for [player]Frank Romero[/player] for his birthday the finals started . In couple of hours and after few great matches ([player]Steven Bowden[/player] vs [player]Steve Zahler[/player] was incredible!) 4 players made to semifinal: [player]Steven Bowden[/player] vs [player]Alberto Santana[/player] where the 1st won the tie break game by less than a million on Transformers LE and [player]Sanjay Shah[/player] took out [player]Ed Zeltmann[/player] also on tie break. In the end [player]Steven Bowden[/player] took the win on 2 classic Stern games: Cheetah and Nugent. Top 8 got money. It was truly a great time by all and we all hope that the AC/DC launch party will be held in here because this place ROCKS!!
