Ball Two – PAPA TV KICKSTARTER!

Stretch Goal #3 - $37,500 level ACHIEVED - Smooth HD Glass for glare-free broadcasts, upgraded overhead cameras with superior optics, and wireless microphones for capture of player sounds and game audio to mix with broadcast coverage.

Bonus Rewards ARE LIT - For each $1000 tier from $38,000 to $49,000, we will present one new pinball tutorial approximately once per month for a year. The creation of at least six of these tutorials will be livestreamed on PAPA TV, and viewers will have the opportunity to either call in or ask questions in the chat room.

Stretch Goal #4 - $50,000 level IS LIT - There and Back Again! Fund a cross-country trip from PAPA Headquarters to the PAPA Circuit Tournament "It Never Drains in Southern California" in January 2014. We will take along the latest and greatest pinball machine, and turn this trip into a long-distance public relations effort for pinball itself. In addition to livestreaming the Circuit Event in Southern California, content for a monthly show on PAPA TV will be created daily, with stops at arcades and private collections, interviews with pinball personalities, and visits to local leagues. We will be setting up the new machine in as many places as possible to encourage new players to enjoy the game. In addition to the monthly show, we will stream content live during the trip. This level includes the purchase of a PAPA TV van or trailer, which will also be used to haul equipment to future Circuit Events.
