Can we have emergency orders to have fun everyday? Will he sign an emergency order to finally put on the bottom bracket record release show?

THAT'S A WRAP on the first round. It's been a wacky couple of days in the tournament, and kind of ended last night to the very last minute in chaos (and I have to admit, a couple of violations of our four person rule in our arcade). We had four Gallina boys running around like wild, also while the Mayor was in there with his brother... I have lost control of this tournament. 
Ready to re-draw up this bracket and have a real clear picture of how this is going to play out for round 2 and beyond. 21 businesses are moving on to the next round - we are taking the THREE top scoring losers from this round and putting them in their own bracket for the next round.

Wow, once again I am sorry for the lack of updates on this tournament, it's been a wild and crazy time. The mayor has been here literally every day. We even had our own "Jim-Cam" going:

In the end, Jim ended up beating Linda from Springfield Vintage's score of 10 million (of course he did), so Jim IS moving on to the next round.
That's right, yesterday was the final day of round 2, and today is the first day of round 3. As soon as I get into the score I am going to post all of the final results from round 2 and who is moving on to the next round.
A bit of sad news, Tyler from Public Market trained very long and hard and ended up beating the one everyone was rooting for - USPS. We all thought USPS was going to take the whole tournament. And now, unfortunately this. Tyler's score was over 18,600,000 and the highest overall in the second round.
News Channel 20 caught word of this news and rushed over to interview him:

A quick recap of day 1 of round 3 of pinball tournament... the first day of PIN•BOT! We have two scores up on the board so far for this round: Prairie Archives with 955,000 Public Market with 650,190
then a tiny plastic piece broke off inside the game. it wasn't a piece that was important so it is OK, we just had to take the glass off the machine to take the piece out to keep playing. this was a very scary thing for me to do becuase I have never done anything like this on my own before. Jeff said that I can do this it is okay. but I didn't have my key to open up the machine, that was at home. but jeff said that is okay you can use the spare key that is hidden in the spot we hid the spare key. I was very scared, very nervous and did not want to do this becuase there were people shopping in the store too. but then I did this when there was no one in the store and tyler from Public market was there to help me. we unlocked the machine and found the lever to hit that would let you slide the glass out, so we did this and I took off the one metal pice that we could do that so that the metal piece ccame off for you to slide the glass out and we could do this and slide the glass out a little bit and tyler helped pick up the piece and then we put it in the tiny box inside the machine and then we had to lock the machine back up I odn't know if the door got shut all the way

How is Linda handling all of this? She's been practicing since even before the arcade was officially opened.
