UKCS

Big thanks from me too, great weekend, loved the format too. I was below the cut line all day until the last round where I managed 2 wins to put me on 100 points. Unfortunately on Sunday morning it's like I had left my skills in the hotel and went out 4-0 in the first round, but I still loved that I had a minimum of 4 opportunities to play well, just need to practise taking those opportunities!

First visit to Pinball Republic in the new venue and it's fantastic. Only wish I could pick it up and move it a few hours north 😁

Congrats to Will and to Ben. Thanks everyone!
 
What an incredible event. That's how the UKCS should be run, the whole thing was just a huge celebration of UK competitive pinball, absolutely brilliant. Thank you to Matt and Neil and the whole PBR team. It was a huge undertaking, the format was absolutely amazing, the stories and individual achievements were just brilliant.

I'm on a massive come down today, but I just wanted to say thank you so much to everyone who made it possible, I just hope that it can become a staple of the UK calendar for ever more.

PBR is a special place people, support it, come to the British Masters, go to every event you can and keep it alive

This cannot be stressed enough, PBR needs the support. @Tilt_Birmingham touched on it in relation to how much to charge for events. The prices need to go up, and players will pay as we all love this hobby. Without PBR these great events simply wouldn't go ahead due to the size and number of machines needed to run them.
 
Just to add my thanks - what a brilliant tournament format and event. Really felt every bit a major tournament with spectacular battles and amazing play by so many people. Huge thanks to everyone involved as always.

On another note - we still have British Masters tickets in April left - come along if not registered already and available. It will be brilliant for sure, with A, B and C finals in the main event so everyone has something to play for... and also a separate Classics comp and a Pingolf event as well!

Completely agree re: supporting venues like PBR, but also there needs to be caution with just increasing prices all the time. Not everyone is going to be able to spend £50/60 per tournament, particularly when you add on a few days of parking fees, fuel, hotels, eating out etc.
Visiting venues outside of tournament times, weekends and evenings also help to support these venues. PBR, SWL, Medway, Pinball Office, Tilt and others aren't only open for tournaments, so get out and visit all year round, as they won't survive based on tournaments alone.
