When the original organizers started TPF it began as us sharing our games with the community in an effort to “save pinball”. That sharing continues as collectors restore and share games each TPF, some you might just never see in the wild.
Being a collector and bringing a game to TPF has does have its privileges.
- You get a collector level badge for each game that you bring to the show
- You are eligible for judging in the machine awards– The amount has been increased in every category this year including runner up levels.
- You get into the exclusive “themed” after party late Saturday night.
- You receive a TPF exclusive gift.
- You might win some additional collector swag.
So please register your games as soon as possible to make sure you get in while we still have space for you. (i.e., there are 272 games we know about already that aren’t in the games list). It also helps us get the plan to fire Marshall for approval in time and gives us time to solve the enormous game of Tetris that is the success of our show layout.
We also understand that things happen between now and show time so you might need to change titles, That’s ok, our check in software can handle changes at the door.
Please be aware that we may limit some titles, Nothing personal, but 58 Pac-Man cocktails might be fun for a competition, but we’re pretty sure it isn’t going to fit. However, if Kevin Moore wants to find a restore a few more Baby Pac-Man’s well, maybe we make room in the lobby because that would just be pretty cool.
If you are planning on bringing something to the Saturday morning Swap meet let us know by sending an email to info@texaspinball.com with SWAP Meet space request in the subject line.
