Here is information that I received. Walter may have more to add.
The event will be a high-score contest. That means a contestant can enter the
competition at any time they want and play for as long as they wish. There are
no heats, no brackets, no eliminations; just play again and again in order to
attain the highest score possible on each of the ten game titles. Though all
the scores will be submitted to the Guinness World Records 2007 Book, the editors
have announced plans to consider only the highest score on each game for publication
in the record book. However, the editors of the Guinness World Records 2007 Book
retain the right to publish only the contest results that meet with their editorial
needs.

Tim Arnold
Tim Arnold a 50-year-old self proclaimed pin head,
is finally able to share his dream with the
general public with his new Hall of Fame & Museum
now open for the public to enjoy the Bronze Era of
the Pinball Age. The First Annual Guinness Masters
Tournament will take place at his arcade in order
to induct the ten best pinball players into the
pinball hall of fame.
Arnold is a veteran arcade operator who made it big in the '70s and '80s, in an
age when pinball, not pixels, ruled the game rooms. In 1976 he opened Pinball Pete's
in Lansing, Mich. with his brother, and it quickly became a gamer's mecca that's
still open today. At the height of their success, the Arnold brothers weren't counting
coins; they were counting scoopfuls of them with aluminum ice shovels, and hauling
them to the bank in sacks. When Arnold sold his part of the business to his sibling
and moved to Las Vegas in 1990,at 35, he never worked another day in his life.
Tim Arnold raises money at his famous Annual "Fun Nights" Event for his
Pinball Hall of Fame and Museum Project
Arnold has given to the local Salvation Army more than $100,000, largely through
"Fun Nights," private fundraisers at his southeast Las Vegas home, where he'd put
his roughly 1,000 machines on free play.
Played hard. The hall's museum status belies Arnold's fervent view that pinball
is meant to be played -- slapped, nudged, shook, cursed at, hugged -- not tutted over.
Arnold is going to maintain the games, where you can play them like they were
meant to."
His arcade is a place to stop and have a wave of pure nostalgia. This stuff is still
in your mind somewhere, and when you see it, you just get a backflash of the good
old days, There it is! I remember!
There's a lot involved in this pinball process. There's the art, there's the scoring
and how it's done. There are many more design disciplines in one of these than there
is in a video game." Pinball is skill, but it's also completely random," Arnold says.
"Kids play video games and they say it takes skill to play a video game. No, it takes
rote memorization of moves. There's no randomness to it. In pinball, the ball could go
this way, it could go that way. It's completely random.
Tim states that with the classic video games, we stop at 8-bit machines.
"And no kung-fu video games. Those are anti-social and you learn nothing from them.

Tim Arnold's Pinball Museum
Tropicana Avenue,
Las Vegas, Nevada 89121
Dates: April 28-30, 2006
At last count, Tim Arnold's Tropicana Avenue/Pecos Road Arcade has
175 pinball machines spanning almost 50 years -- is part shrine, part museum,
part charity and part arcade.
Besides over 175 classic pinball's to play at Tim Arnolds Museum, he also
has the following classic video games:
Video Pinball, Mario Brothers, Outrun, Asteroids, Battlezone, Space Invaders,
Frogger, Paperboy, Speedway, Paddle Battle, Star Wars, Crazy Climber, Tempest,
Major Havoc, Atari Football. Link
These pinball's and classic video games are on rotation with his 1,000 plus
games in a nearby warehouse behind his home near Russell Road & Sandhill in
East Las Vegas, NV. Half of his warehouse features about 450 pinball games,
set up and ready to operate. The World Pinball Championships were held in
Las Vegas (at the Sahara Hotel) which makes Las Vegas the perfect place for
a Hall of Fame Pinball Museum. Who doesn't want to relive their youth one
last time?
Who would I like to see at this Hall of Fame Competition in Vegas?
I don't know what great classic pinball and video gamers will show up but
it would be a home run event if Pinball Master, Jim Belsito of the Inland
Empire League of Southern California, from Rialto, California could put up
some pinball world records. As he has several pinball records already and
is ranked number 5 in the world at this time. Some other greats; Bowen Kerins,
Neil Shatz and Lyman Sheats. Because this is not a "Money Purse Event" with a
big purse prize, I doubt that the above great pinball players will show up.
Another aspect of this event is there not being a lot of practice at home
before showing up, because some of these pins are so rare that Tim Arnold
has the only one that is still working, after being kicked around and beat
up for the last 30+ years in local bars and then being stored for another
10+ years.
As for video gamers that I'd love to see show up because of their current
world records and current tournament standings I'd like to see the following
great show up at the Hall of Fame Pinball Masters Tournament, and make some
video game records:
Some of the best Coin-Operated Video Game Classic Players Names:
Dwayne Richard, Billy Mitchell; player of the century, Gary Sandinista Whelan
from London, England, Doris Self; Q*bert Champion and the Challenge Arcade
Totally Amused, Apollo and Funspot Video Game Champions. Donald Hayes and David Nelson are
the best players in New Hampshire and possibly in the world because of their
classic video game tournament wins and the many classic coin-op video game
world records under their belts. We might even see a marathon or two if any
of these gamers show up.
After the Dodge City classic games toughest gun showdown is complete, maybe a few of
those high score players could come to Las Vegas as well. The Apollo; Pompano beach,
Florida Superstar rivalry should be just about done by now and we will finally know
which classic coin-operated gamers will be crowned in this wild frontier.
The California Extreme event in San Jose, California is one of the best pinball
events in the year and it is right around the corner as well.

4/5/2006 Twin Galaxies to Supply Pinball Records to Guinness World Records(tm)
2006 Video Game & Pinball Masters Tournament in Las Vegas, NV
There is another amazing poster created by C.J. Hoose of Fairfield, Iowa.
To see a larger version of the poster click here: Link
Twin Galaxies to Supply Pinball Records to Guinness World Records(tm)
For the first time in its 52-year history, Guinness World Records(tm) will be
publishing pinball scores.
(The Guinness Book was collecting and printing Coin Operated Video Game High Scores
through Walter Day's Master Annual Tournaments in the Golden Era of the 1980's.
The scores were published from 1984-1986, but however, the Guinness Book stopped
printing High Scores in 1987 because they felt there were to many problems with
Rom Sets and variations across the country.)
(Only a controlled playing environment can World Records be watched by Referee's
and settings can be maintained to the highest scrutiny, in that of a Tournament
situation.)
As part of a partnership with the Twin Galaxies Intergalactic Scoreboard, the
world authority on electronic gaming records, the Guinness World Records 2007(tm)
Book will include a table of pinball high scones on ten different games, researched
and verified by Walter Day of Twin Galaxies.
The List of Inaugural Pinball High Scores to be the following:
1. The Addams Family Pinball
2. Twilight Zone Pinball
3. South Park Pinball
4. Taxi Pinball
5. Creature from the Black Lagoon Pinball
6. Scared Stiff Pinball
7. Kings and Queens Pinball
8. Capt. Fantastic Pinball
9. Whizard Pinball
10. Lawman Pinball
Only at the First Annual Pinball Masters Tournament in Las Vegas, Nevada will these
Guinness World Records Scores be accepted. So you have to show up to the contest
on April 28-30, 2006 and win one or more of the above (10) Pinball High Scores
to get published in the 2007 Guinness Book.
The Las Vegas Pinball Hall of Fame, opened in February, 2006 to commemorate the
history of pinball, will be the official site of the event. Organized by Tim Arnold
and other members of the Las Vegas Pinball Collector's Club, the Pinball Hall of Fame
enjoys a non-profit charter and is the world's only museum created solely to document
the history of Pinball.
To bring organization to the process of gathering scores in time for the May 1st
publishing deadline of the Guinness World Records 2007 Book, Twin Galaxies has
resurrected its most famous contest: the Video Game & Pinball Masters Tournament,
which hasn't been conducted since 1997. This year's edition of the contest -- as
well as the 1997 Video Game & Pinball Masters Tournament -- are both descended from
the original contest that Twin Galaxies created in the 1980s to gather scores for the
U.S. edition of the record book, which was then called the Guinness Book of World
Records. The editors at Sterling Publishing Co., Inc., publishers of the U.S. edition
at that time, designated Walter Day an Assistant Editor, and put him in charge of
verifying all video game records for the annual volume.
To facilitate the process of supplying Sterling Publishing with verified high scores,
Twin Galaxies created the Video Game Masters Tournament, which was conducted on more
than 100 video game titles in dozens of locations throughout North America. The results
were published in the 1984-1987 U.S. editions of the Guinness Book of World Records.
Today, in 2006, to continue the tradition of supplying world records to the Guinness
World Records Book, (After a long hiatus) this modern incarnation of the contest will
focus mostly on pinball with some video game titles thrown in.
The Las Vegas Pinball Hall of Fame can be found at:

Tim Arnold's Pinball Hall of Fame. Link
Las Vegas is known for the unusual and offbeat. Places like the Liberace Museum,
the Neon Museum, the Clown Factory, The Elvis Museum, the Barry Manilow Store,
the Pinball Hall of Fame... Wait a second. The Pinball Hall of Fame?
What exactly is that?
Or more importantly, why exactly is there a Pinball Hall of Fame?
The Pinball Hall of Fame is an attempt by the members of the Las Vegas Pinball
Collectors Club to house and display the world's largest pinball collection,
open to the public. A not-for-profit corporation was established to further
this cause. The games belong to one club member (Tim Arnold), and range from
1950s up to 1990s pinball machines. Since it is a non-profit museum, older games
from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s are the prevalent, as this was the "heyday"
of pinball. There are no video games or "ticket spitters" (aka kiddie casinos)
here. It's all pure pinball from the past. And since it's a non-profit,
excess revenues go to non-denominational charities.
4500 square feet is dedicated to the Pinball Hall of Fame, where the entire
family can enjoy non-violent arcade games for small dinero. This is truly a
pinhead's ultimate dream. All machines are available for play, so not only can
you see them, you can actually play your old favorites. The machines are all
restored to like-new playing condition by people that love pinball and understand
how a machine should work. All older pinball's are set to 25 cents per play,
and newer 1990s models are set to 50 cents per play. A far better return on fun
than any Las Vegas casino environment, and the PHoF actually has windows and
a clock in the room! It takes more than slot machines to keep tourists happy,
and the Pinball Hall of Fame is trying its best to do just that.
The Pinball Hall of Fame is a registered 501c3 non-profit. It relies on visitors
stopping by to play these games, restored pinball machine sales, and 'This Old Pinball'
repair DVD videos (available for sale at the museum). The PHoF has also helped out
with fundraising for the local Salvation Army, accepting donations to benefit them.
There is a candy vending stand, where the entire $.25 of each quarter goes directly
to the Salvation Army. Local businesses that have just a few square feet of floor
space that would like to help with this project, or anyone interested in available
machine sales are encouraged to contact Tim Arnold at the PHoF (Pinball Hall of Fame)
for more information.

2006 Hall of Fame Las Vegas Guinness Contet
I do hope that we get Guinness Level Players to put up some unbeatable pinball
world record pinball high scores in Las Vegas, Nevada. During the heyday of
video games, the master tournament brought in some scores so high that they
have yet to be beaten today, over 20 years later. Link

PAPA Professional Pinball League
The Professional and Amateur Pinball Association (PAPA) is an organization
supporting the game of pinball as a recreational and competitive sport. PAPA
is currently owned and operated by Kevin Martin and is based in Scott Township,
Pennsylvania, just outside of Pittsburgh.
The main activity of the organization is hosting the annual World Pinball Championships,
which brings hundreds of serious pinball players from around the world to compete for
a number of large cash prizes. The tournament runs for four days and allows competitors
to register in any of three different divisions in order to accommodate beginners and
skilled players alike. Each occurrence of the tournament has been denoted by a number;
for example, the 2005 tournament is known as PAPA 8.
Tournament Format
The format of the PAPA tournaments has changed over time. In the current format,
players declare a division (A, B, or C, with A being the most skilled) and may
enter as many times as they like, paying entry fees each time they choose to play.
During an entry, a player will choose and play a certain number of games from a
predetermined bank of machines (for example, five out of a possible nine machines).
Each game score is assigned a point value based on how it compares to all of the other
entries on that same machine. Interestingly, this point value may decrease over time
as more games are played by everyone. An entry's overall score is simply the sum of
the individual machine scores; thus, it too can decrease over time.
A player's best entry over the course of the qualifying period determines the player's
qualifying score, and the qualifying scores are used to determine the rank of each
player. A player's rank may go up or down, even without continuing to play. There is
a fair amount of strategy that can be employed to deal with this.
At the end of the qualifying period (typically several days), the top-ranked players
in each division (the actual number varies) compete in a head-to-head, bracketed
format to determine the winners.

The Pinball Wizard dreams of the Silver Ball. Becoming one with the machine, and
of whipping the game into a frenzy without having any of lifes distractions get in
the way. The flipper fingers move like lightening with the skill of a tight rope
artist within the finger tips. You know your beat when the other player is so
confident that they drain the first two balls just to give you a fair chance, and
then the killer Jackpot lights with only three seconds left in the game and one
last shot gives the advantage with a knock on the side of the game giving the
free play. Your game is dust and it is time to play again.
Trivia:
How did Tommy, who was deaf, dumb and blind in the 1969 "Rock Opera Song"
and movie by The Who, become a Pinball Wizard without using all of his faculties?
Album: Tommy
Date: 1969
Answer:
The character Tommy played pinball by feeling the vibrations of the machine giving
him a clue as what was going to happen next.
