UKCS

Just got home to this thread, sounds like it's already sorted but if I can help in any way give me a shout.
 
Ah I've just seen @Jem is already in! Nice!! (I mean, of course he is, is there a tournament the UK number 4 doesn't go to? 😉) What about you @PUP did you get your invite?? Are you going to go? @Moonraker will probably make it too? Could be a whole UK contingent. Christian's place in Boras is amazing, 120 fantastic games against the best in Europe, definitely not to be missed if you can make it work!i
I got the invite but being the weekend before Texas i had already booked for the pin masters in Chicago on the same weekend
 
With PinFest around the corner I thought now would be a good time to update you all with the current UKCS standings:

With the top 64 players qualifying for a chance at next years comp for a spot at the IFPA World Championships, there is lots still to play for!!

The standings are always available to be viewed at https://www.ifpapinball.com/rankings/custom_view.php?id=386&t=50&p=2

PinFest and the UK Open will obviously massively shake this up; curious as to what happens with the likes of say, a Raymond or Escher who could easily pick up 100+ points from the UKO and notionally qualify. Do you just skip overseas players or those who otherwise can’t make the UKCS event and keep going until you have 64 in attendance?

So they would be able to play in the event if they chose to but wouldn't be able to take any UK spots at the World Championships.
 
Hi @Matt Vince,

Do we now have a date and venue for the UKCS finals? As we are nearing the end of the year and as it's the top 64 qualifying, I'm guessing we might need quite a few alternate spots, so would be good to know a date to work towards so people can plan. Also has the format been finalised? With 64 players, copying the IFPA world's format would be amazing!

Cheers, Craig
 
In the interim I counted around 64 UK based names from the current standings (including Ulf Rokkan - because, of course) and the cut line at the moment with 1.5 months left seems to be around number 112 - Tim Thornton (@yellowreggae )

In reality it is very unlikely everyone is able to accept their UKCS place as it will be a 2 day event (I believe) - so getting to know that date and planning ahead will be key.

I think it is quitr likely that anyone in the current top 150 will be able to attend (see below) - probably higher (almost half the top 150 are foreign based players).

A lot of speculation at this stage, but something to talk about. It will be a huge 250% TGP event with a world championship spot on the line - that I am pretty sure of...
