In the absence of a UK pinball show or party I have offered to host the UK Pinball Open Tournament at Special When Lit.
I am aware that there are people who would like this event to take place at Play Expo in Manchester in October. This was investigated last year and the NLP team wrote to myself about the set up requirements and conditions of holding the tournament. Those requirements were viewed as totally impossible for setting up, breaking down and operating a tournament at Play Expo.
The result was last year's event went ahead at Special When Lit in Salisbury. It had a poor turnout and made a loss, so this year's event would see the following changes:
1. No prize money being awarded.
2. A return to an August date (see poll).
3. Maximum entry set to 54 people.
4. No use of the troublesome matchplay software.
