The party was held in the Gameworks Skybar just outside of Chicago in Schaumburg, Illinois. The tournament was run by brothers Josh and Zach Sharpe of the IFPA and had over 30 participants including both novice and ranked players. Many pinball greats were in attendance including designers George Gomez, Pat Lawlor, Dennis Nordman, Mark Ritchie, and Stern's own in house designer John Borg who along with Lonnie Ropp and Lyman Sheets created the Big Buck Hunter Pro Pinball. The feedback from the partygoers was fantastic and everyone had fun with the new Stern release. You can see a video of the party highlights here.
