New for 2010, Clock Chaos has arrived 12 hours before the Midwest Gaming Classic kicks off!  If you love competitive pinball, you won’t want to miss this brand new, awesome tournament! New for 2010, Clock Chaos has arrived at the Midwest Gaming Classic! A brand new concept in tournaments, Clock Chaos has been created to provide pros and new players alike an awesome pinball tournament to participate in on Friday night. Players have one chance to play 12 different games – one for each hour on a clock – and compare their overall scores on those 12 games.  At the end of your 12 game attempt, scores will be compared, with the top 13 players entering the “13th Hour!”  Players who enter the 13th Hour will have one chance to replay one of their first 12 games and change their rankings to score their share in over $375 in prizes! On top of that, all players in Friday Night Clock Chaos will get WPPR points based on the final ranking of their position.  Clock Chaos is the official “secondary” Midwest Gaming Classic tournament, and offers a great chance to score great points.  It is also a perfect first time tournament if you’ve never played in a larger tournament – the $20 entry fee that you play is all of the money that you will pay no matter what, and everyone has the same chance to score well on the machines.  On top of that, Clock Chaos offers the same amount of winning positions as the Midwest Pinball Championship does, so you have a great chance of being a winner! If you’re ready to sign up for Clock Chaos now, visit the tournament page at the Midwest Gaming Classic web site to sign up!  Because this event is Friday night before the show, you must pay for your registration in advance.  Details will be emailed to all players who sign up for Clock Chaos
