Overall

D&G is having the Official Launch Party to celebrate the Pro version of the game and they are bringing in some star power to help celebrate the occassion. Ernie Hudson, star of Ghostbusters, Congo, The Crow and the TV series OZ has graciously agreed to be on hand for the event. Ernie lent his voice for custom callouts in the new Ghostbusters game and he is no stranger to John Trudeau games, having also appeared in his Congo pin back in 1995

LAUNCH PARTY:
Format is 1 game on each Ghostbusters Pro and the scores will be ranked 100,90,85,84,83...and so on. Top 16 (or <50% of the field) point totals will advance to the playoffs. Groups of 4 will play with 2 players eliminated each round until there is a final 4. Final four will finish as they place in the final game. Top qualifier picks their choice of GB pin to play each round and the groups are reseeded by qualifying score after each round. 100% returned cash prize package, and more prizes too, so don't be afraid to come on out. This is a fun and laid back open event for EVERYONE, kids included! Bring out the family for some fun!

Plus more to be announced so check the Facebook event page for updated details!
