HI

Announcing that as in previous years I'll be hosting the Robot Bash meet/comp at the end of the year in Broadstone, near Poole Dorset which will be on Saturday 30 December. This comps is part of the UKCS and the last meet of the year to count for this year's UK Championship Series.

Format will be identical to previous years where we'll play rounds of 4 player games based on WPPR rank and points in the comp so best players always play each with points of 9,5,2,0 for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th in each match, and then knockout rounds. Top 8 will qualify for knockout rounds.

Practice from 10.30 with the comp to start at 12.00. We'll try to fit in 7 rounds of qualifying but the last round must start before 5 although minimum of 6 rounds. More info on the website http://www.robotbashpinball.co.uk/

Machines line up to be:
AC/DC Premium
Attack from Mars
Corvette
Dirty Harry
Fish Tales
Game of Thrones
Indy 500
Johnny Mnemonic
Kiss
Lord of the Rings (not in comp)
Medieval Madness
Metallica
Monster Bash
Spiderman
Star Trek
Walking Dead
X-Men

Please note registration will open 10am on Saturday 25 November. In order to register you'll need to send £10 by paypal gift friends/family please and I'll post the paypal address to send money to at 10am on 21st both here and on the website. Please make sure you cover any charges when using paypal. I think it's free if paying either from a paypal balance or debit card.

Places will be limited to a maximum of 32 and in the past it's sold out pretty quickly so if interested, urge you to register ASAP on 26 Nov to avoid disappointment. However, there will be a reserve list and historically there have been some players drop out so a chance to still potentially compete.

If you do register, but later realise you can't make it, please let me know. Your place will be offered to the next person on the reserve list. Fees will be refunded up to 17 Dec. After then no refund for cancellation.

Please make sure you can make the start time of 12am and stay at least for the final qualifying round until about 5.30 before the knockout rounds.

Look forward to seeing some of you on 30th Dec if not before at one of the other many comps coming up shortly.

Cheers
Greg
 
Just a reminder that registration opens tomorrow:)

Please note preference will be given to those who've supported the event in the past.
So it won't be on a first come - first served basis, and thus not eligible for WPPR points? ;)

Yeah, massive thanks to Greg for hosting. Not been before but it's great format, I'll definitely be coming next year.

And I've got games room envy something chronic. I might have to sell a kidney or two so I can get mine set up as well as that. :thumbs:

Thanks Greg - congrats Rich! Well deserved !

Very pleased with my final position ! :)

Neil.
 
Greg
maybe I'm doing something wrong but when I load that xls its empty of the scores/figures?

Cheers,
Neil.
 
Neil, we only recorded the result not the machine scores. Results for each round are on the Round tabs. Hope that helps.
 
greg - thanks- but even so when I open it its missing all the scores on the rounds tabs?
 
Greg,
no points in it at all, will check on another laptop! its like its the file you started with, rather than the file you ended with but could be security/macros stuff and I'm on a Mac!

Neil.
