The big event for October is the NKY Open event at Erik Wurtenberger’s house in Independence, KY. I believe registrations are currently full, but reach out to Erik if you are interested. Another cool event is on Halloween at Crazy Martin’s, it’s a 4 strike classics only bounty knockout tournament held on the second floor. Looking ahead, Novembers big event is RE/Q 2026 at Arcade Legacy. There are still spots left so sign up now. This is a “hybrid best game qualifying” format, this is a new format for 2025. And looks like there are already changes being made it to it for 2026.
