Highlights
- ClePin tournament uses a pump-and-dump format where players buy tickets, play games, give away tickets, and top 24 cumulative scorers make finals
- Jeff Teolis, despite not making top 24 initially, ground Quicksilver scores and took Travis's number-one spot, which cascaded bracket changes affecting finalists
- Attack from Mars lock diverter malfunction was fixed between Friday and Saturday, causing high score to jump from 11 billion to 24 billion
- Monica (Muriemobile) won women's third place; Katie Koster won women's tournament overall
- Gilligan's Island has a code quirk where the left outlane kickback gives all other players one million points
- Raymond Davidson won Classics tournament, blowing up Meteor in finals after practicing eight voids in a row beforehand
- Straight Down the Middle (Chuck Wirt's crew) streamed ClePin tournament on Friday; watching stream helped Tom understand Transporter and Quicksilver strategy
- Bond game photos have leaked and official review/release is scheduled for Thursday
Notable quotes
“I think I can officially say it's three tournament players. I mean, I think we're officially just a tournament-focused podcast at this point.”
“Teol is a fact. Yeah. It was. Well, I would just say we were trying to enjoy dinner, and I could tell you were a little stressed.”
“Luke is probably going to pick this, this, and this. And you're already preparing yourself for potentially what's going to happen. Oh, Tom and I both knew he was going to take us off a freaking cliff.”
“It's just to see it in person, one, it's a lot harder to see what's going on. You basically can see the DMD and you can see their body language and that's it.”
“Well, I'll take a quarter of your score. That's good enough for me.”
“And the moment the kickback enables, it gives everybody else a million points.”
“I think he's going to try to get some sleep and he's going to be up early tomorrow, because apparently he can't just roll out of bed and start playing, whereas that's like my superpower and specialty.”
