Rock the Cradle

It’s generally not good when two balls are cradled like in the picture on the left. It’s better to have them cradled like in the picture on the right because it allows for a “Cradle Separation.” Rocking the Cradle means to shake and nudge the machine so that the balls slide down to where both balls are resting on the flipper.

Stretch Goal #4 - $50,000 level ACHIEVED! - 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.

Stretch Goal #5 - $57,500 level IS LIT - We will develop and release a mobile app for PAPA TV. This cross-platform app will be a unified source of information for competitive players, offering rulesheets, tutorials and gameplay videos, as well as live tournament updates. Future updates may include features such as pinball locators, annotated playfields, ranking information, league features, and more.
