This Friday, August 6th, 2021 at 2:30 pm Eastern, there will be a pinball competition broadcast on ESPN [The Ocho], The Stern Heads-Up Pinball Invitational.
Pinball tournament fanatics, and especially enthusiastic competitors already know the result of this competition. But, give it a repeat watch or a stream anyway to add to whatever watch numbers are relevant here, and to help support the players and organizers who put on the event.
I am interested to see how the gameplay gets edited down into the half-hour time frame, along with any profiles that may be added to give flavor to the broadcast.

$2 per person per tournament goes into this pool but the overall winner is going to receive $1,000 regardless of participants.”
Since the Museum of Pinball was the site of INDISC / The Open major pinball tournament, and that event space will be gone, the question arose as to the status of the event for next year.
