Friday Night Flips is a series of 4 player match play get togethers at The Lower Playfield. 4 players will compete on the games downstairs in 4-2-1-0 matches until a player hits 21 points. They will be the winner! Each player will put in an ante to the match and the winner goes home with it all. Learn more about Friday Night Flips and watch past episodes on our dedicated Friday Night Flips page.
All the fun of the Lower Playfield, now available wherever you are! All the action will be broadcast on Twitch at twitch.tv/TheLowerPlayfield starting at 7:00 PM.
Episode 7: Staying Cool, Daddio!
The temps are hot, the pinball is cool, and Friday Night Flips is back with a special summer episode to get you through the dog days! A tremendous group of 4 of the nicest folks in the New England Pinball Scene will battle it out. If you’re in a group at a pinball tournament, these are the people you hope are in your group so you’ll have a fun time:
- Julia Barnes-Brown plays out of Massachusetts, is a frequent player at events all around New England, and one of the most seasoned players at The Lower Playfield (if we tracked attendence at TLP, Julia would be in the top 5 easily!). A tenacious competitor, it has been fun to see Julia’s game improving over the last year to the point where she is a player to be watched in future events!
- Andrew Diorio is the owner operator of Tilt NH, a business founded in 2024 that offers rent-to-own pinball in the NH area. While new to competitive pinball in New England, Drew has quickly established himself as an excellent player with solid game knowledge.
- Lucas Herter is a seasoned pinball competitor who started playing in New England events in 2021 (and TLP events in 2023!). No stranger to the competitive game, Lucas will bring excellent game knowledge and skills to Friday Night Flips. Lucas was also one of the winners of an NEPL game raffle! Lucky!
- Jordan Knights is an owner operator at the Lower Playfield. It’s hard to believe someone is reading this and doesn’t know Jord. If you’ve been to the Lower Playfield, you’ll recognize her as “the nice one”. Jord is active in the tournament scene and New England Belles events, and may have played these games before, so look out!
On commentary:
- Derek Correia is an owner operator of The Lower Playfield (“the less nice one”) and is filling up space in the booth that could be better used by someone else.
- Will Parks — come on, you know Will Parks. Will is a director at SNHPC, one of the finest pinball commentators of events in the New England region, a heckova player, and kind enough to be the unofficial Voice of Friday Night Flips. We’re lucky to have Will join us for another episode.
