Tickets for both of these competitions will sold at the event


In addition we plan to have other smaller competitions running over both days of the show



* Notes

1.Maximum WPPR points award is dependent on all 64 places being taken up, for lower take up, points will be reduced proportionately

2. To participate inThe Big Flip or any of our other competitions you will also need an entry ticket to the 8bitflip show
 
Entries for the 64 places go live tonight at 8pm.
Please note these will be limited as we have a 250 max each day at the venue so if you want to enter the comp don't hang around.
Also with this being our first competitive show entries are at a reduced rate , you can also pay for your day/weekend pass at the same time, or if you are bringing a machine then the weekend entry is free.
If you are bringing a pin then please contact me as soon as so I can get you down on the list. You can contact me direct on darren@ukpinball.com.
All the details are linked in the above post.
Don't miss out on the Big Flip it's on a first come first served basis and trust me you don't want to miss this, it's going to rock.

Good news everyone, I've entered the tournament so there's a chance you'll be drawn against someone who can't play competitively for toffee so you'll have an easy round 1 victory :)

Can I just double-check if donors get single ticket or a pair (a la NLP show)?

No worries either way but might be bringing someone and just checking if I need to buy a ticket for them or not.
 
I asked the same question but still no reply - but I think it is only one ticket per machine for this gig

Very good point, although with 2 machines I might still be able to get a guest in if Kev's right.

According to my mail I sent you a reply , sorry if you ddidn't receive it.
If you are bringing a machine then that's one person free entry for the weekend. If two people will be coming then you need to buy a weekend ticket for one.
Sorry but we are very short on space and only have a limited number of places and we need to sell some tickets.

If you're sending mailshots out I've not had anything since 26th Jan either - Just been assuming you'd PM me on here though if you needed any info.

Give me a shout about setup on Friday and if you still want any assist on the weekend itself.
