Are you trying to suggest there maybe some sort of error here!?
Not at all, I actually feel better as there's no shame in getting beaten by the 64th best player in the WorldAre you trying to suggest there maybe some sort of error here!?

I have no idea how this works but I’m pretty sure that rating number doesn’t relate to a world ranking… It seems to be the higher your “rating” the higher your “ranking” in the world.Not at all, I actually feel better as there's no shame in getting beaten by the 64th best player in the World
In fact on closer inspection I think you got beat by the 4006th best player in the world
Sorry not sorry

Big shame the comp was only given 82% TGP. For IFPA not to treat the comp as a full event is a real pitty.

Aha, they have appeared now, thanks!
Why is it that 3 of the semi-finalists ranked 6th and one was 8th on IFPA? If anything I'd have thought it was based on points in the semi-final so the 3 players with 1 point would be joint 6th and the one with 0 points comes 8th (but that's not how it is)?

Why is that Matt? Do they just decide on the number/quality of players in attendance?
No, it's to do with the number of games played/hours of qualifying. I though this had been increased this year but no change in the TGP from last year.
Made my day.
Not only did I see the best phrase ever: "player of 'limited skill", but also that Peter came top on BJ.
This is good, but I'm waiting for the "How to qualify for the Pinfest Main comp playoffs" featuring Kris Gonzo...

Nice vid with some impressive play. Not easy to play and commentate at the same time!
Definitely an advantage playing LW3 early morning. I played in the afternoon and there wasn’t enough juice in the flippers to to hit the ramp!

Just watched the latest YT upload Kris, watched the whole thig all the way through. Fascinating. I'm not usually one for watching much gameplay videos but had to watch that all the way through. I'm not quite sure what the 'ticket' thing meant and the thought of entering a competition at an event is pretty intimidating, but this helped a lot. CheersMate, I wish I'd recorded that

Apologies mate, I should have described what a ticket is.
Basically you pay to enter the tournament and your ticket consists of three attempts on games of your choosing. If your first ticket doesn't go as planned you can pay again and re-enter with a fresh ticket.
At pinfest there was an offer of 4 entries (4 sets of three games) for £20.
As for it being intimidating . . . . I guess it is a bit but there are so many people trying to qualify on the Saturday that nobody is really paying attention. Go for it

Amazing result AlanInternational Flipper Pinball Association!

Amazingly Yen @Jackpot , Alan Budd @Buddinblack is currently " RATED " 64th in the World after his first tournament , this is not an error and an extraordinary achievement . A player's " rating " is different from a player's "ranking " the latter of which is determined by your total number of WPPR's or World Pinball Player Ranking points, as per the cumulative value of your best 20 results in IFPA sanctioned tournaments within the previous 3 Years . A player's "rating" is determined by the quality of results vs. opponents that you have played in IFPA sanctioned tournament(s) with specific relation to your own ranking . Click on the link below and you will see @Buddinblack Alan Budd's name 64th in the World ratings ,on the same page as 4 time IFPA World Champion Daniele Acciari ,reigning World IFPA Open Champion Zach McCarthy, PAPA 19 World Pinball Champion Robert Gagno and multiple Pinball world Champion Cayle George https://www.ifpapinball.com/rankings/overall.php?s=r&t=100

I was a semi-finalist and it says I came 8th, I didn’t realise all the other semi-finalists got recorded 6th…. I won 1 of 3 games in my semi-final match against @RuyLopez . @Wayne J or @Wizcat can you explain or amend if it should be amended. (It’s not all about the points but… I’ll take all the points I can get!)
Thanks,
Luke
Thanks,

Luke, I got your message and it has already been passed to the IFPA who have said they will sort it.
Thanks Wayne, much appreciated
