UK tournament pinball thread (+ Large international comps)

I chose Indy500 and scored 840M to force a game 3. He picked Mando and it was a interesting game - I put up 840M in my best ever game of Mando by far.

Yikes, 840 million on The Mandolrian and Indianapolis 500. NBA Fastbreak here we come !!!

 

[AndyB]

Awesome Mando score mate, I think I fought to around 400mil once, never again

Great day at Tilt as always. I just fell short after Chris Granby, Mr "I hate Jaws" put up a big score ball 1 in the playoff that I couldn't catch.

Good to see James doing so well - he started off brilliantly in our first game at PBR so I"m not surprised he managed a good run of games.

Yuen and Josh was a great matchup, with Yuen really getting things going on ball 1 and Josh chasing - really good to see such huge scores going up as all the top players are pushing each other to get better and better!

Tomorrow night is the Dutch Pinball Open - with over 300 participants and a whopping 25 people representing the UK. 1There is a massive EAPA presence going, with Foreign Debuts for the "Real Deal" Nathan Garwood and David "the Train" Bowery amongst others.

My picks to watch:

Josh
Gene
Jmac
Reece
Gareth Arnold

(NB - there are tons of Brits with a great chance, the above are just a few that caught my eye whose groups also look reasonable - for entertainment purposes only.)

There is also a "Group of Death" involving Pete, Nathan, Claire, Dan Lewell, Lukaas Martinnen and Rakesh Kanhai ... if any brits can make it out of there they have a great chance.

Top 2 in each group of 12/13 qualify automatically for the last 64 knockout stage. The 3rd place player joins a massive 1 game shootout where 16 of 24 make it through.

Good luck to everyone, hopefully there will be a stream available!

 

[Lickashot]

Any news on if this will be streamed?

 

[Moonraker]

Jdl will be streaming on twitch as usual.

 

[windoesnot]

Hope all of Team GB will be chanting Gareth along

 

[DeadPin]

Gareth, Gareth, Gareth!!

 

[Genotime]

It's all about the Team Tournament - incoming soon.

The two UK teams: The Dan Lewell Experience and The Flab Four will be meeting in the championship round for sure - tune in!

 

[Moonraker]

Venue is probably 4 times the size of Daventry, actually it's probably larger.

 

[Matt Vince]

Good luck everyone! Wish I was there with you!!

 

[Arv]

I see our kid is there too.

Is there anywhere to keep track of the DPO other than the stream? Matchplay?

Shame we got 4 in one group

 

[Jackpot]

It is absolutely brilliant to have such a great turnout from the UK. Wish I was there too! Great performances by many so far. Emily Stokes has qualified top of her group - absolutely outstanding!

 

[Taxiturn]

Mega for Pete and Nathan to both escape the group of death!

 

[Jackpot]

What about Classics master IAN CLARKE? @Milko1234 - delivering again in Europe...
