- The last monthly Jersey City Open was held at Barcade Jersey City on April 13th
- Stern Insider connectivity creates problems in tournament play, particularly with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Venom machines
- A Looney Tunes machine was replaced with a Pulp Fiction LE at Barcade Chelsea
- The Monsters machine was removed from Dino's Wonder Wheel Amusement Park in Coney Island, and was the last pinball machine at that venue

Notable quotes
“I'm pretty sure they lost their first four and now they've won their next four.”
“If the playoffs started today, NYC FSA, and Lion Persons would have buys in the left orbit playoffs with 7-1 records”
“The reason that I wanted to do NYC Pin Pod was that no one was talking about playing pinball the way that I was playing pinball, which was going out on location in New York City”
“I understand why you want this tracking for it, but as a person who doesn't do it, I just wish that we could just all agree that it's just not of thing.”
“Some tournament directors say no insider-connected for anyone, just to keep it simple. The games that are a problem really are Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Venom.”
“Neptune's Treasure is 19 points behind them, even though they also have a 7-1 record.”
“They're going to try our best, and we're going to be damn cute.”
“Do you think it was fixed so fast because it was Sean of the Dead and they've got connections to the pinball Illuminati?”
“I'm old and fat. Do you have any idea how hard it is to scoop quarters off a concrete floor while wearing Crocs?”
“It's a role-playing game. They really implemented a role-playing game.”
