It was an epic battle at this year’s European Pinball Championships. There ended up being five spots up for grabs for the IFPA 6 World Pinball Championship coming up the following weekend, and the following players earned their way into the tournament based on their performance. A big congratulations to: Erwin Deutschlander (GER), Stefan Cederlof (SWE), Stan Simpson (UK), Fredrik Lindberg (SWE) and Peter Blakemore (UK).

Additional congratulations to the EPC tournament winners – Paul Jongma (1st), Kristian Szalai (2nd), Zach Sharpe (3rd) and Laszlo Horn (4th).

20 players showed up at this new tournament right in the middle of Germany to battle out a winner. Nine machines had to be played in the so called Family Mode. Every played had to play every single machine. The player with the highest score earned 25 point, 2nd place 24, 3rd place 23 and so one. Most of the German top players were around so it was a very hard fight on a very warm afternoon. Peter Scheldt ended up as the winner, followed by Martin Hotze on 2nd place, Albert Medaillon became 3rd and Erwin Deutschlander 4th. The trophy for the best kid won Lisa Scheldt.

The Toronto Pinball League held its end of season Playoffs on July 12th in Carlisle, Ontario at one of the member’s homes. The double elimination tournament saw attendance of 25 participants across two divisions. Over eight hours of play the field was whittled down to a finals match up between Adam Becker and Charles Blaquiere. In the end Adam bested Charles in the 2 out of 3 match taking the title of Toronto Pinball League Tournament Champion. 2nd place went to Charles Blaquiere and third place went to Sean Oneill.

The show was bigger than ever this year, with an approximate 50% increase in attendance over the previous year, and the tournaments reflected this increase with around 80 people participating in EACH of CAX’s 3 Tournament Divisions: Modern, Solid state, and EM.
Neil Inn was the winner of the EM division while Keith Elwin, just like last year, won BOTH the Solid State AND Modern divisions. Neil Shatz pulled a ‘2nd place sweep’ of all divisions, while other winners included Trent Augenstein and Tom Neighbors (3rd and 4th in Solid State), Jim Belsito (3rd in EM) and Johnny Modica (3rd in Modern), and Andre Massenkoff (4th place in Modern and EM). Also, Robert Gagno was this year’s winner of the Casual Division Tournament.

The second annual Michigan Pinball Open saw 24 players battle it out across 4 divisions for the coveted prize of Michigan Open Grand Champion. The tournament saw players from neighbouring states as well as neighbouring countries for a day of pinball at Marvellous Marvin’s Mechanical Museum. After qualifying concluded, the field of 12 players in the A division was whittled down into 4. The semi finals were decided by match play in a best 2 out of 3, with Andy Rosa facing Mike Wiley and Trent Augenstein facing John Flitton. The finals came down to John Flitton and Mike Wiley in a best of 3 on Family guy. In the end, Michigan native Mike Wiley was victorious and took the Michigan Open Grand Champion Prize. So 2nd place was John Flitton, 3rd was Andy Rosa and 4th went to Trent Augenstein. The EM Division winners were (1) Trent Augenstein, (2) Andy Rosa, and (3) Josh Henderson.
