UKCS

This will be tremendous if we can get the 64 players for the full World Championship type tournament format experience that Craig/Matt have detailed earlier in the thread.

24 games, 8x3 rounds qualifying and then 32 qualifers for the playoffs. 2 byes for top 8 and 1 for top 16 followed by best of 7 h2h matchplay.

I think it would help to get a list of those committed to attend and alternates, so that we can get a sense of numbers and build the excitement. I will do that in the post below, please post/reply if you plan on coming if you qualify or will come if a slot is available.
 
List of planned UKCS attendees:

Yuen Aw
Matt "The Machine" Vince
Greg "RobotGreg" Mott
Craig Pullen
Andy "Brocktastic" Brock
Simon Love
Sergio Olave
Stewart Judson
James Aw
Michael Aw
Glen Cockell
Lan Aw
Alan Jones
Chris Miller
Lucy Vince
Sarah Vince
Daniel Vince
Fran Kitching
Kirk Sadler
Will Beynon
Steven Kielty
Jack Burden
Jon "Jmac" Carolan
Neil McRae
Conrad Chambers
Paul Englert
Roy Wils
Bart Volman
Timber Englebeen
Gene Aw
Nathan "The Real Deal" Garwood
"El Licko" Claire Lickman
Martin "Lasereyes" Bedford
Kevin "Kevlar" Donovan
Count - 34

(Just building a list so far - it should be understood that all of these will not qualify depending on who confirms attendance from the higher ranked players)

I'll come if I qualify/if a slot is available. I don't know how allocating slots would work? Would this be on ranking or a first come first served basis?

Craig answered your question above mate with the current ukcs rankings. So matt will reach out to the highest qualifiers first, and then when he gets declines he will go further down the list using the ukcs standings list.

Yes please - currently sitting 83rd so should be pretty nailed on unless Escher and co fancy a holiday
 
I'm working the Sunday and it's the EA league at the Gatwards which I'd probably pick if I get the Sunday off.
I think Claire is looking at moving the league date just because it's a shame to have so many events clash
 
This format sounds awesome, I'm miles off qualifying but it can be a target for next year. I'd also just like to check on the London & SE date in this case. Assume that will be changing.

Maybe not now it’s 64 players but there’s always options. Off the top of my head, the bowling place in Preston?

Might have to book it over a week with their 9 machines. 😅

Plus Ive heard there a bit picky about about running events and blocking off the pins.

With 64 players, I think Matt's plan this year is to run a world championship style format, across OLD/MID/NEW. So 10-20 game banks of 3 machines needed.

I meant oop North or in the Midlands, all the others are South and Very South.

Someone needs to grow a pair and step and open one up north instead of moaning!

And to be honest who is actually going to go out and support these venues when its not a league meet or comp... I rarely see people from the community outside of the comps...

My bread and butter is regulars and general public.

Fair play to those down south opening up the venues.

Doesn't matter there is league meets, you don't need to attend them all

It does when most of your players would qualify for UKCS. What if you were hosting on that date?, What if the league coordinator qualifies but they're supposed to be running a league meet? And who wants to host a meet where only a few people turn up.
Clashes should be avoided when possible because there's only so many competitive players in the UK.

Three meets clash because the regional coordinators went to an effort to try book league meets on the same date so it frees up other weekends.
