Josh Sharpe wins October 2009 Chicago GameWorks Pinball Tournament of Champions
The IFPA and GameWorks teamed up once again to host the 3rd event at the Chicago location. 57 players competed for 16 qualifying spots on Family Guy, Sopranos, 24 and NBA. The finals came down to Josh Sharpe and Zach Sharpe, which went all 3 games to decide the winner. Zach took the first game on NBA, while Josh came back on Soprano’s to even the score. The third game was on Family Guy, where Josh took a 34 million to 15 million lead before Zach started his last ball. Following a very good Stewie Multiball, and a huge double-danger save to continue the ball, Zach drained and when his bonus came up 700,000 points short, Josh escaped with the victory. Keith Johnson took 3rd place, while Trent Augenstein took 4th place. Zach and Trent are the only two players to place in the top 4 at all 4 GameWorks tournaments (including the one at the Columbus location). Full results are available here.
