I am pleased to be able to share this summary of the events of the weekend of April 29th to May 1st when the TBAP 2022 event was celebrated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you may know, it was only after the pandemic that we could finally organise and enjoy the Torneig Barcelon\u00ed de Pinball or TBAP, Barcelona\u2019s pinball tournament. It was held in #LaNau, at the premises of A.R.C.A.D.E.<\/a> (Associaci\u00f3 per a la Restauraci\u00f3 i Conservaci\u00f3 d’Arcades i altres Dispositius Electr\u00f2nics).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friday Frenzy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The #TBAP22 kicked off on Friday April 29th with a Frenzy tournament hosted at the Stern Army<\/a> site. It was a great way to warm up for the weekend ahead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For players who were already in the area, this tournament gave them an early opportunity to become acquainted with the pinballs in #LaNau. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Frenzy gathered up to 34 players of a very high level who continuously played random games from 7:30pm until midnight. Hitting the flippers requires energy, so the dinner break from 9pm until 10pm was essential, with a varied selection of pizzas to enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the novelties of #TBAP22 was the fantastic live streaming via the association’s Twitch channel. This was made possible by the voluntary work of a group of members during the previous weeks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
