What a fantastic way to wrap up TAPPโs inaugural year! We had a great turnout of 21 players, with plenty of friendly competition and great energy throughout the day. A huge thank you to everyone who came along and made it such an enjoyable and memorable event.
Barrel Ball Competition
The Barrel Ball side competition, played on Labyrinth, was a fast-paced party game. The goal was to stall the ball while avoiding red shots or draining. Players lined up in a single queue, taking turns to step in, stall the ball, and then quickly jump out of the way for the next player.
To keep things fair, we used a handy cap system, where each player started with a set number of lives based on their rank. This kept things close until the end with:
- Mark Brown earning a Toblerone as the First Eliminated,
- Daniel Mills coming runner-up, winning a Christmas Cookie Hamper, and
- Simon Voigt, starting with just two lives, outlasting everyone to claim the grand prize of a Pinball Playfield!
Main Competition Results
The main event began with matchplay qualifying, where everyone competed together to earn their spots in the finals.
For the finals, we had an Amazing Race where players had to avoid being the lowest scorer on each leg of the race. The last player of each game was eliminated, while the rest of the players moved onto the next machine. This continued until there was just one player standing!
A big congratulations to our top 4 players in each division:
๐ A-Division:
- ๐ฅ Adrian (ACE) Evans
- ๐ฅ Joshua Hesketh
- ๐ฅ Solomon Smith
- ๐ Brett Cooke
๐ B-Division:
- ๐ฅ Mark Brown
- ๐ฅ Jacqui Lampe
- ๐ฅ Grant Burke
- ๐ Ben Cleary
The winners from both divisions went home with the same prizes, with first place taking home a Neon-style LED Pinball sign, second receiving a Christmas Cookie Hamper + Free Re-Entry, third awarded a Star Wars Christmas Mug+$20 Replay Bar Voucher, and fourth earning a Toblerone.
A big thank you to Solomon for helping with the scoring during the finals โ running two divisions smoothly wouldnโt have been possible without you! Thanks as well to Andy for bringing the ice and keeping us all cool and refreshed on such a beautiful+warm day, and to Ben for snapping some great photos and capturing the action!
Wrapping Up 2024
And thatโs a wrap on TAPPโs first year! Itโs been incredible to see how this community has come together and grown through Tasmaniaโs first-ever IFPA ranked competitions. The atmosphere at the event really summed it all up โ plenty of laughs, friendly competition, great gameplay, and the opportunity to share some food+drinks together.
Weโll be publishing the final standings of the 2024 season soon, and invitations to the State Finals will follow after that (details TBC).
A huge thank you to everyone whoโs supported us this year, whether you made it to this event or any of the others. Your enthusiasm and love for pinball have made it all worthwhile.
Weโre taking a short break over January with no events currently scheduled, but weโll be back in ~February 2025 with more pinball goodness. In the meantime, stay involved! Post your high scores, share your favourite games, tag us on social media, and keep the pinball vibes going!
Weโd also love to hear your thoughts, too! Got feedback about this year or ideas for next yearโs events? Let us know โ weโre always keen to hear from you.
Thanks again for making 2024 such a fantastic year. Hereโs to an even bigger and better 2025!

The night featured eight rounds of matchplay using Swiss pairing to keep things close. While we didn’t have separate divisions, the matches were tight and full of great moments. The night ended with a tie that led to an intense head-to-head between Josh and Patrick yet again. Josh took it home this week with an incredible performance on Dr Who, looping the loops and almost reaching 1 billion points to take the win.
Special mention goes to Frank, for winning the door prize: a $40 voucher to The Winston. And a nod to Cameron, who walked away with the wooden spoon prize as a consolation, earning free re-entry to the next event and a drink on TAPP.
We captured some great photos of the evening and would love to see any pictures you took. If you have any, please send them our way! Feel free to grab some action shots next time to help showcase the fun.

Thank you, as always, to everybody who joined us on Thursday!
We ran a 4-strikes tournament where it was all about staying in the game until the last player was standing. With no finals, it was a true endurance test! Once four players were eliminated, we kicked off the B-Division. This division followed a 7/5/3/1 Matchplay format, giving those who were knocked out early a better shot at a prize in B-Division. As players were eliminated from the main strikes tournament, they could jump into B-Division, so there were plenty of chances to make a comeback.
1st place winners in both divisions walked away with a Neon-style LED Pinball Light, while 2nd place took home an AMD cozy and keyring, a custom TAPP wooden coaster (thanks to our member Lee Davey), and free re-entry for the next tournament. We also had a great door prize up for grabs: an AMD cozy+schooner, and a $40 Replay Bar voucher!
A big shoutout to AMD Pinball for their ongoing support and contribution to our prizes!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for a fantastic night of pinball at Replay Bar!
For qualifying, all players played on 7 different pinball machines. Points were awarded based on the best scores relative to other players on each machine, with a maximum of 100 points per machine. Only the top 5 scores out of the 7 machines were counted, so players had a chance to recover even if they made mistakes on 2 machines.
After qualifying, we broke into two groups. The top 6 competed for the title, while a fun B-Division played for prizes. The finals were conducted as a 2-strike knockout, where players competed head-to-head, earning a strike for each loss. The last player standing without two strikes was declared the winner.
