The second annual Michigan Pinball Open saw 24 players battle it out across 4 divisions for the coveted prize of Michigan Open Grand Champion. The tournament saw players from neighbouring states as well as neighbouring countries for a day of pinball at Marvellous Marvin’s Mechanical Museum. After qualifying concluded, the field of 12 players in the A division was whittled down into 4. The semi finals were decided by match play in a best 2 out of 3, with Andy Rosa facing Mike Wiley and Trent Augenstein facing John Flitton. The finals came down to John Flitton and Mike Wiley in a best of 3 on Family guy. In the end, Michigan native Mike Wiley was victorious and took the Michigan Open Grand Champion Prize. So 2nd place was John Flitton, 3rd was Andy Rosa and 4th went to Trent Augenstein. The EM Division winners were (1) Trent Augenstein, (2) Andy Rosa, and (3) Josh Henderson.

The Tournaments at the 2009 Northwest Pinball and Gameroom Show were a huge success this year, with over 80 players participating including some of the top players from around the country. In the Open Division, the top 16 players were narrowed to 8, and then 4, the final rounds culminated with both Josh Sharpe and Eden Stamm playing a one-game-tiebreak on Twilight Zone for the Northwest Pinball title. In what was a very exciting finish, Eden was able to put up one of the highest scores of the weekend to secure the victory, and win the Open Division, becoming the show’s first Double Champion having also won the Classics Tournament earlier that day. Other OPEN finalists were Zach Sharpe (3rd) and Trent Augenstein (4th), while the other CLASSICS winners were Neil Shatz (2nd), Josh Sharpe (3rd) and Jeff Gagnon (4th).
