Midwest Pinball Championship 2026 Finals
Midwest Pinball Championship 2026 Finals 24 players battle in a 5 Fair Strikes knockout to crown the champion. It was Recorded Live on Twitch - Foxcitiespinball channel at the Midwest Gaming...
Highlights
- T3 has RPG disabled at the tournament due to a ball getting stuck behind backbox targets during previous events.
- Five-strike fair-strike format is not fun but ensures finals conclude quickly.
- Stern drop targets on newer machines are unreliable and require stretching springs to function properly.
- Ball saves were turned off or minimized to manage game length in the tournament.
- T3 ramp progression during multiball may differ between tournament and non-tournament modes regarding lane lighting.
Notable quotes
“This is such a great game. I freaking love T3.”
“If it's me, I'm avoiding like I don't start that mode by itself. Like I'll let balls die before I waste a mode start at the beginning if I can manage it.”
“This is why I love pinball. When I'm up there and I'm playing that vibing.”
“The B is one of the hardest shots in pinball, I find, to get that ball to go all the way up and hit it cleanly. That thing is a tight shot.”
“It's a Steve Ritchie game. You got to backhand the left orbit.”
“Those those uh stern drops are pretty unreliable, I feel like, in general. Like they can be pretty not they don't work that great always. You need to really dial them in.”
