Mike Stewart Memorial Pinball Tournament

All of Mike's friends are invited to celebrate his life and pinball legacy in a tournament at The Avenue Cafe. Mike always said that LPL was his favorite league. Cost is "Pay as you wish" (minimum $1) plus coin drop. Anything past your first $1 will be donated to a charity in Mike's name (TBD). The format will be group strikes (0/0/1/1 or 0/1/1 per group) until 8 people remain, then a group matchplay playoff for semis and finals.
The doors to The Avenue will open at 2 pm for practice and sign-in. This is a special favor they are doing for us so please, no outside food or drinks allowed (they will give you all the water you want to drink!). Also, please note that the Avenue is a 21+ venue after 9 pm and there are no exceptions for pinball tournament players. I have been asked to remind everyone who plays in my tournaments of this rule. I expect qualifying to have finished by 9 pm but most likely finals will run past 9.
Players in this tournament will receive both IFPA and PRPA ranking points!
Note: Just want to emphasize this is "A" Mike Stewart Memorial Tournament, not "The" Mike Stewart Memorial Tournament. I hope and expect everywhere Mike played will want to host one, my intention is not to preempt anyone else but to celebrate the long association Mike had with the LPL.
