The Space City Open was truly a community effort. Thank you to everyone who brought games and those who lended their technical expertise to keep the games running. You can’t have a tournament without games, and you all stepped up and provided.

Finally, big thanks to Keith Christensen, Erich Stinson and the rest of the Houston Arcade & Pinball Expo crew for your infrastructural support throughout the weekend!

Fall League at Eighteen Twenty Lounge

October 15, 2018

The 2018 Fall League schedule is locked down! We’ll be doing a short “mini” season this time around with four weeks of qualifying plus finals. You must attend at least two weeks to qualify for finals, and we’ll use your three best weeks (i.e., one drop week) . This is (probably) only a temporary change. We weren’t able to get the season scheduled earlier, and there isn’t enough time to do another long season without bleeding into the holidays.

We’ll do another mini season in early 2019 as well. After that we’ll probably return to our 8 week seasons.

Chris Palis will be taking over as Tournament Director while former director Erich Stinson raises a child.

Dates:
22 October
