Events / Games This Sunday: Ground Kontrol's Portland Pinbrawl 2012
Posted by Earnest "Nex" Cavalli on Wed, Apr 18, 2012 at 8:45 PM
Ah Spring! That special time of year when the sun returns, love blossoms alongside the tulips, and Ground Kontrol attracts a swath of the region's finest pinball wizards for the annual Pinbrawl tournament!
As you can see from the above poster, this year's event goes down on Sunday, April 22. Doors open at 10AM, registration ends at 10:45AM and the event will likely run throughout the day. The official press release advises spectators to show up by 4PM and though watching the tournament is free, it will cost $20 to actually participate.
Full details on the event can be found on the official Pinbrawl page, including an up-to-the-minute list of what's at stake here (though I doubt anything is going to top the chance to own your own pinball machine).
