After a year of competition we are witnessing the finals of the Wildball League as we speak. 14 players made the finals and I'll try and post the results as they come through in the comments.
Jordan Tredaway Wins Melbourne Matchplay Pinball Championship
In an amazing victory for the Victorian local and one of the youngest competitive players in the Australian scene, Jordan Tredaway has triumphed over an incredibly tough field including players from four states!
A tough and nerve wracking three days of competition and Saturday's qualifying culminated in the finals held on Sunday, with the following players making the top sixteen cut for the playoff;
- Richard Rhodes
- Nick Hamhougias
- Zack Foster
- Geoff Wills
- Jordan Tredaway
- Johnny Crabtree
- Greg Gee
- Brian Schleibs
- Paul Jones
- Luke Marburg
- Scott Kellet
- Phil Franze
- Stacey Borg
- Pat Nichols
- Marc Bell
- Jasen Mouritsen
These players were then culled down to eight after a single round of four games each, to finally have those eight play on the Sunday for the final standings. With Jordan finishing in 1st place, Luke Marburg finishing 2nd, Stacey Borg 3rd, and Pat Nichols 4th.
An amazing event, with amazing talent. A great venue and incredibly well run, kudos goes to Luke Marburg for running the entire thing and somehow maintaining his sanity enough to take 2nd place in the major tournament!
We can't wait for the next one... The Melbourne Matchplay Championship is a must for all keen competitors and is one of the major tournaments in the Australian calendar. See you next year!

We're Live! Pinball Player Feature 3 - Andrew Ferguson!
What do you get when you cross a pinball competitor, collector, operator, taxation lawyer, and part time magician and keen gaming (including gambling) theorist? You get a man with a tremendously rich history of games in Australia, and a man with endless entertaining stories; a man called Andrew Ferguson.
All of us here at Game the System are very happy to present to you our third player feature, and this one is the biggest yet with twelve slides! The amount of content produced was bursting at the seams and we feel we only scratched the surface of Andrew's past as well as continuing adventures. Indeed, there was much we had to leave out in order to keep this series immediate and impactful as is our goal of the player features. So who knows, we may revisit some of that additional content sometime soon...
For now, please enjoy the slides. Perhaps you'll learn a thing or two about Andrew that you can question him on next time you run into him at the next big pinball tournament! I'm sure he wouldn't mind talking to you about his lucky coin...
South Australian Pinball Tournament Scene is Growing
If you look at the top ranked SA players IFPA profiles, you will see that a majority of their points have been a result of going to interstate (or overseas) tournaments. Whilst the eastern states boast regular monthly and in some cases weekly tournaments, Adelaide has been relatively quiet in comparison. Yes, there have been plenty of social meets, which is certainly an important part of pinball culture, but these do not attract IFPA points.
In 2012 there were three IFPA tournaments in SA, 2013 only two tournaments, 2014 three tournaments and in 2015 nine tournaments. A mainstay of this early development was Danny Daly at Gameroom Essentials, who can take credit for getting the tournament scene started in SA. There was also Simon Wisbey & Stephen Vari at Amusement Worx running the odd IFPA tournament. Finally, Greg Siegele has been running his “Balls of Steel” tournaments.
That brings us to 2016 and the establishment of a perfect pinball partnership!
In February this year Amusement Worx teamed up with a new Tournament Director, Paul Michell and the SA pinball tournament scene has exploded into life. Subsequently, Simon and Stephen have been able to focus on managing the venue and providing a great variety of pinball machines, while Paul liaises with Daniel Robar at IFPA and runs the tournaments.
Since that first tournament in February which had 20 entrants, they have held a total of nine tournaments over six nights (including one Saturday all-day/night event). Amusement Worx has provided 32 different machines for the tournaments, ranging from the 70’s right up to recent releases from Stern. To keep things interesting Paul has used a different format for every tournament held, as he tests to see which ones work well, attract the most points and/or cater for player availability. Paul has even tested the flexibility of the IFPA, by holding two tournaments on the one night on two occasions; such was the popularity of the second of these, with 41 players, the final of the second tournament concluded at 1:15am. Apart from Paul, great credit goes to the Amusement Worx staff (& technician), who also had to be on hand throughout.
To grasp the impact of this on SA’s pinball scene, it is worth looking at some of the statistics:
Rated players (5 tourneys)
- 25 as at the end of 2015
- 52 as at the end of August 2016
Total number of players
- 89 in 2014 & 2015 in all tournament s across all venues
- 60 in 2016 at Amusement Worx tournaments
Total number of new players
- 35 in 2016 played their first tournament at Amusement Worx
There have been plenty of people that have also helped Paul and Amusement Worx out this year, including; Darren Bonnett (transporting hire furniture), Robert Macauley (tournament adjudicating), Greg Siegele (scoring), Amity Wells (entering results) even some from interstate, such as Greg “G” Jones who provided advice on a tournament format.
Amusement Worx Super League
The most recent tournament was the Super League, which included four fortnightly Friday evening and two Thursday afternoon qualifying sessions on six machines (Devil King, Elektra, Indiana Jones: The Pinball Adventure, Last Action Hero, Pirates Of The Caribbean and Star Wars Episode 1) and culminated in the final held Tuesday 23 August. The full results can be found via this link: Amusement Worx Super League
Over 480 verified scores were entered into Match Play Events by dedicated scorers over the course of the Qualifying sessions which included a total of 30 players. Subsequently 15 players advanced to Final, including Michael Costalos, who was participating in his first IFPA tournament having turned up to the last qualifying session. The finals were a best of five games knockout format. When the draw was announced, there were humorous cries of “rigged!” when Paul as the top ranked player, got allocated a bye in the Round of 16.
The great camaraderie, that was a feature of the qualifying sessions, extended into the finals, with a relaxed yet competitive atmosphere. The finals were played on a total of 14 pinball machines, including a Game of Thrones Premium. Paul ended up coming third, defeating Tim Freedman. While the main event came down to a classic contest between the experience of Robert Macauley and the youth of Matthew Owen. The following quote taken from a post of Rob’s on Aussie Arcade sums up the exciting finals games:
“I can honestly say that game 2 of the final match against Matthew on Creature was close to if not the best game of head to head pinball I've had the pleasure to have played in the last few years of comps.”
Matthew along with Tom Casey (finished 12th) and Tyler Follett (18th) are some of the very young and talented pinball players in Adelaide that should feature up the Australian rankings in years to come.
Congratulations to Rob in winning the final and subsequently he has moved back into third position in the IFPA rankings in Australia.

Wildball Pinball League - Latest Results
A great night had by all in yet another successful Wildball League round.
Below are the full results of tonight's competition, with Brett Goodwin taking the round by a hair.
Brisbane Masters 2016 - That's a Wrap!
If you took part in this massive competition across the three days, you’re likely still recovering. With literally hundreds of games played, 68 competitors, and emotions on a tether, it’s not so surprising that players would be utterly exhausted - physically and emotionally.
It’s been said before, but major tournaments such as these test the stamina, focus, and nerves as much, if not more, than a players skills alone. You may be able to pull out a good game, but can you pull out a good game consistently for hours on end, against equally gifted people, and keep your wits about you in high pressure situations for prolonged periods? It’s a tough ask, but it’s also one that can provide just as much reward as it takes to slog through. The highs and the lows of major pinball competition can become a rush, which is the reason why so many people keep coming back for more punishment!
These experiences are unique to these events, and if you are lucky enough to experience the finals - where spectators follow the remaining few competitors around from game to game, dragging chairs into prime viewing position - brings yet another level of pressure to pile on, and yet another level of rush for players. It really is the pinnacle of pinball as a sport.
The Brisbane Masters started off with a format that was new for most in attendance - the Flip Frenzy side tournament. A little baffling at first, and perhaps a tad intimidating as a result. But once the format was running for a good half an hour people started to realise it wasn’t that confusing at all, and it was actually a hell of a lot of fun - it was a little bit like organised chaos! With two people being drawn to play a machine, if you lost you stayed at the machine, if you won you moved back to the virtual queue where you await your next opponent. Rarely were you waiting very long and after a few minutes you were back in the fray on your next game and with your next opponent. Whoever won the most games (meaning you could strategically be ‘throwing’ games to keep moving) was the ultimate winner of the event.
Perhaps the most enjoyable aspect of the Flip Frenzy format is that you get to meet so many people. As someone once said - it’s like speed dating for pinball!
The final finishing positions for the top three players for the Flip Frenzy are as below;
- 1st - Hugh Dickson
- 2nd - Matthew Venables
- 3rd - Andrew Ferguson
After the madness that was Flip Frenzy on Friday, Saturday and Sunday played host to the main event - the Brisbane Masters. Saturday was reserved for five qualifying rounds consisting of seeded four player matches across three different games. Then Sunday morning for a last sixth round of qualifying to determine who are the top twenty-four players moving on to the finals, which would take up the remainder of the day. Those twenty-four were as below;
- 1st - Jason Lambert
- 2nd - Jack Hutchinson
- 2nd - Luke Marburg
- 4th - Richard Rhodes
- 4th - Adam Clarke
- 6th - Corey Hamilton
- 6th - Rob Singh
- 6th - Matthew Venables
- 9th - Chris Jennings
- 9th - Grant Quinn
- 9th - Greg Jones
- 12th - Paul Jones
- 12th - Matt Usher
- 14th - Zack Foster
- 14th - Russell Dagger
- 14th - Stuart Thornton
- 14th - Peter Watt
- 14th - Chris Watt
- 19th - Jasen Mouritsen
- 19th - Travis Bishop
- 19th - Brett Goodwin
- 19th - Tim Chapman
- 23rd - Luke French
- 23rd - Daniel Figgis
Congratulations to the top twenty-four finalists for showing immense skill and stamina to break through, as well as those great players that just missed the cut - it really was an incredibly tough field.
It was fantastic to see the skills on offer from plenty of new faces and others you don’t see in major competition regularly. In particular Chris Watt (Peter Watt’s son), Wal Dickie, Adam Clarke, Stuart Ryan, Stuart Thornton, and many more.
As you would no doubt be aware, Paul Jones managed the big win which makes it two from two at this particular venue (having won the Australian Championship Series held not so long ago). Paul and Stuart Thornton were to battle over a best of five games, and Paul taking the win on three to Stuart’s one, meaning the last game was not needed. Congratulations Paul!
Below are the final finishing positions of the top eight players.
- 1st - Paul Jones
- 2nd - Stuart Thornton
- 3rd - Jack Hutchinson
- 4th - Richard Rhodes
- 5th - Jason Lambert
- 6th - Luke Marburg
- 7th - Corey Hamilton
- 8th - Chris Jennings
There will be many stories to come out of an event like this which will be discussed and analysed for years to come. With hundreds of games comes hundreds of ‘could have beens’, and hundreds of ‘what the f***s!'. But you can be sure that every person had the opportunity to experience the very highs and lows of what competitive play is all about, and the joys of experiencing it together.

Paul Jones Wins 2016 Brisbane Masters!

Brisbane Masters 2016 - Begins Today!
*** Updates will occur in the comments below
The last major pinball event on the Australian Calendar is happening right now, in sunny (one can only hope after the cold snap in NSW) Queensland Australia!
In what could be argued as a surprising turn out of events, this particular competition is even larger - in player base - than the Batcave Masters, previously held just a few short months earlier. This massive turn out for the Brisbane Masters means that it could also be the largest and most prestigious event of the year, and one that any competitive pinball player would be crazy to miss.
gamethesystem.co will endeavor to provide live results as they happen across this huge three day event. And with three tournaments scheduled, it's going to be another 12+ hours a day marathon for players and tournament organisers alike.
For those keeping watch at home, here's the full player list which is awe inspiring for pinball competition, let alone Australian pinball competition! This is also sorted by seeded rank, so start your betting on who's going to knock out who and upsets that are surely going to happen.

IFPA Australian Championship Series (ACS) 2016 Watch - Half Way
More than half of 2016 is already behind us, so let’s check back in with the standings of the Australian Championship Series (ACS), and discuss some of the results from the second quarter of the year.
It will come as no surprise that Australia’s highest ranked player, Peter Watt, has surged ahead by a considerable distance following a typical run of consistent results. This years’ Batcave Masters was far more successful for Pete, finishing 2nd in the Main Event, 4th in the Pingolf and 12th in the Classics. Strong local performances in Brisbane have also contributed to Pete’s lead, particularly in Houseball, Gold Balls and Brisbane Pinball Club.
The ever-travelling Greg has continued his good form in the second quarter of 2016, despite missing the Batcave Masters. Greg has performed well in local clubs and leagues in Melbourne & Brisbane, as well as his hometown Sydney, including a second place finish in the Melbourne Silverball League. Greg sits in 2nd place in the ACS standings.
A formidable return to form has seen Richard Rhodes move into 3rd place in the standings. Richard was at his dominant best at the Batcave Masters, taking out both the Main Event and the Pingolf.
Brett Goodwin sits in 4th following a solid showing at the Batcave Masters, as well as consistent results in local tournaments, namely a win in the Magic Hands Super League.
Fifth through to tenth place has a decidedly Victorian flavour, featuring Martin Robbins in 5th place, Luke Marburg in 6th place, Jordan Tredaway in 8th place, and Stuart Thornton in 9th place. They have all performed consistently well in local Melbourne tournaments, which have had strong turnouts and good formats, meaning good points. Paul Jones sits in 7th after excellent performances in every tournament he has played in, including a 3rd place finish in the Batcave Masters Main Event. Chris Jennings rounds off the top 10 after solid results locally all year.
In 11th to 15th places, we have Pat Nichols, Jack Hutchinson, Matt Venables, Steve Edwards and Rob Singh, who have all put together a string of good results.
In 16th to 20th places are Greg Siegele, Robert Macauley, Jason Lambert, David Peck and Paul Reid, who are all talented players and have made the most of the tournaments they’ve played in (particularly Greg and David who have only played in 7 and 3 tournaments respectively).
Making up the remainder of the 32 (21st to 32nd), we have Johnny Crabtree, Jasen Mouritsen, Andrew Ferguson, Marc Bell, Marcus Sezonov, Mitchell Setschniak, Warwick Pearce, Brian Schleibs, John Ebejer, Derek Broadfoot, Alex Nunn and Corey Hamilton.
Currently the top 32 is made up of 12 from New South Wales, 9 from Victoria, 8 from Queensland, 2 from South Australia, and 1 Kiwi. The standings are influenced by a combination of big results at major tournaments, and consistent results at local tournaments - meaning the field of 32 players who do eventually qualify will certainly deserve it.
It is all to play for in the back half of the year, and a lot can still change. The next big point-earning tournament is the Brisbane Masters at the end of July, where most of Australia’s best players will be in attendance.
