The Kickback Bar – Save the Date for a Sunday Tee Time!

Hey Belles,

We had an awesome time at The Kickback for the first time, with 17 players, including 2 new faces! A big shout out to The Kickback for being such fantastic hosts and to Hidden Cave for providing us with some great prizes. The Kickback even had the brand-new Uncanny X-Men release, which we hope you all got to try at least once!

Our top 4 players—Mary, Lauren, Brooke, and Alley—battled it out on X-Men, and after some epic flipper action, the final standings were:

Brooke

Only the top 3 received trophies, but great job to Alley for making it to the final round!

In the other groups, congratulations to Donelle, Elise, Melissa, and Stacie, who each won a Hidden Cave Cidery gift card. Enjoy those delicious prizes!

Save the Date!

We’ve got two events coming up next month that you won’t want to miss!

Sunday, November 3rd: We’re hosting a special Uncanny X-Men Release Party at The Kickback, featuring Pin-Golf Qualifying! We’ll likely kick things off around 12 PM, but stay tuned for more details. If you’re new to Pin-Golf, the goal is to hit a target score within your three balls. The number of “strokes” you get depends on which ball you hit the target or your final score if you don’t reach it. List of games here.
Wednesday, November 13th: We’ll be back at Aftershock Classic Arcade for our regularly scheduled monthly event. Be sure to check out their game list on their website for some pinball practice beforehand!

You can find other pinball events in the Madison area by subscribing to our Google Calendar or visiting our website.

Pinball News – Halloween Kickback Nine, Pinball Expo, State Championships

Can’t get enough pinball at The Kickback. Our dear Sara is going to be in town with her fiancé Ryan to host a co-ed (Open) Pingolf event that also serves as an X-Men Release Party. Costumes encouraged! You don’t want to miss this event as there will be some great Stern prizes up for grabs.

Pinball Expo Reminder – Also a quick reminder that the Pinball Expo and Video Game Summit is this weekend near Chicago! They have multiple tournaments happening including a Women’s Division. You can find the expo schedule on their website and register yourself on the Drain Tournament Manager if you plan on participating in any of the tournaments. Good luck to anyone who is participating!

Championships Reminder – Speaking of tournaments, we’re getting really close to the end of the year when it’s time to prepare for Championship season. As one of the few women’s events in Wisconsin, it is likely there will be multiple Madison Belle’s participants eligible to play in the IFPA Women’s State Championships. For this year, the top 8 women of open tournaments and the top 8 of the women’s only tournaments will be qualified to play the state championships. If you qualify, you MUST register with IFPA here if you want to participate. You can find more information on the Women’s North America Championship Series here.
