Cayle George wins the 2014 NW Oh Pin!

The 2014 NW Oh Pin was held at Blairally Vintage Arcade this past weekend. The structure of the main tournament was what we call a decades tournament. Each decade (70s, 80s, 90s) has a bank of three machines. Each entry requires you to pick 2 out of 3 machines in a decade to play. You take your highest scoring entry from each decade and sum them. This total across all decades determines your qualifying rank. Then nine games in the tournament this year were Jet Spin, Supersonic, Meteor, Banzi Run, Medusa, Space Invaders, Radical, Doctor Who, and Breakshot.
 

We had a great turnout this year and attracted some fun players. The top four at the end of the day were Cayle George (1st), Kevin Birrell (2nd), Aaron Nelson (3rd), and Noah Davis (4th), with Cayle and Kevin battling it out in a tie-breaker on Jet Spin for 1st place.

 

A couple spectacular displays of skill were Cayle's 200 loops on Doctor Who in the semis and Aaron's 6 million plus game of Banzai Run in the finals. And let's not forget Noah's one handed  game of Jet Spin in the finals.
