Thanks to @jill_grun on Instagram for sharing her "5 Things I Wish I'd Known Before My First Pinball Tournament" PRP Website - Discover some new music on the PRP playlist! - Find Local Tournaments - Find Amazing Pinball Locations - In Episode #50 of the Punk Rock Pinball Podcast, we're talking about something that comes up all the time: what should new players know before entering their first pinball tournament? Inspired by a post from competitive player Jill Grun, we break down five practical tips that can help first-time tournament players feel more comfortable and avoid common mistakes. From understanding downtime between rounds to making sure you don't accidentally play out of turn, we cover the lessons many of us learned the hard way. We also share our own tournament advice, including why comfortable shoes matter, why snacks are essential, and why every serious player should become familiar with Match Play Events before showing up to compete. Along the way, we discuss the recent expansion of Punk Rock Pinball HQ, growing the machine lineup to nearly 40 games, dream pinball themes we'd love to see become reality, and why we continue to talk so much about Stern, Spooky, Barrels of Fun, and other modern manufacturers.

This is the second "Big Trouble in Little China" pin I have tried. The first one is a physical homebrew by Kyle Smet you cah check out here: [ This one is created by the Vpxpinballwizards group and it's a virtual masterpiece. Fun, imaginative rules, great FX and cool call-outs from the movie. I only have one big gripe and I mention it much later in the stream. Spoiler Alert, I pretty much finished the game and show the final wizard mode, so viewer BEWARE!

Don praises Sanford Airport for having airside pinball machines.
Sometimes, being proactive with the outlane posts won't end up with the result intended, either due to the ball bouncing too high or being too far out of reach from the post itself. Extra balls earned through drop targets help immensely, as are the spinner and end of ball bonus. The saucer special, not so much, due to its infrequency. Simulation, 5 ball game. 20 million is no joke....weird how this is also exactly 9:01, like Earth Wind Fire.
