Ground Kontrol Classic Arcade

If chaotic free-for-all matches with items is your brand of fun with Super Smash Bros, this bonus Smash Bros Night is for you! In addition to this month’s 1v1 tournament night (scheduled for Tuesday 11/10), we’re hosting a casual Super Smash Bros Ultimate night on Tuesday 11/3, with all items on and rotating modes. This is free to play in the lounge on the projector from 7-11pm, so stop by for some matches!

Rock Band x Ground Kontrol is BACK AGAIN! Head to the blue side lounge of Ground Kontrol for an all-night karaoke party featuring pro gear, pro sound and now over 6,000 songs!

Rock Band is organized like karaoke, with song books and slips. It’s free to play on other people’s songs all night, and $1 to request your own song.

New to Rock Band x Ground Kontrol: the house band! No more waiting for other players to sign up for your song to get it in the queue – members of our house band will be available to fill in on any instruments as needed! You’ll still be able to sign yourself up to play on other people’s songs, but our house band will be prepared to jump in and help keep the solo players rocking all night!

Players of all experience levels are welcome. Performance and stage presence are encouraged, so ROCK OUT!

Introducing a new beginner-friendly monthly pinball tournament: Ball Save Social Club! Monthly on first Wednesdays.

The goal is to keep BSSC a casual space that boosts new players and further helps build the community. It’s also a place to highlight the skilled players in our community that are willing to share the secrets and take on a challenge. The tournament starts at 7:00 pm however if you are there at 6:00 pm and are a newer or lower skilled player the TD can find a higher skilled player to play some games with you to either teach rules or flipper skills.

Getting wrecked constantly can be exhausting and discouraging. So the difference with BSSC and other tournaments is the introduction of a handicap system. Inspired by bowling leagues and golf tournaments to help even the playing field and make it more fair. The format will be 4 games of a matchplay format with a one game final for the top 4.

Handicaps will be determined by player ratings in MatchPlay. Handicaps will be a percentage taken off of your score at the end of the game.

Expert: 40% off
A: 30% off
B: 15% off
C: 0% off
D, E and unrated: 0% off and can play one extra ball

Example with a score of 1,304, 216,800 this is what would count
Expert: 782,530,080 (1,304, 216,800 × 0.6)
A: 912,951,760 (1,304, 216,800 x 0.7)
B: 1,108,584,280 (1,304,216,800 x 0.85)
C: 1,304,216,800
D, E and unrated: 1,304,216,800 (plus an extra ball)

Sometimes an experimental format may happen!
