UKCS

roadshow16 said:
Hi Wayne,

Just wondering if you have a breakdown of how the money raised will now work? I know there are still 2 events left, but just wondering if you can now clarify.

So if I understand correctly, 20% of the pot gets donated to the charity of their choice by the top ranked player at the end of the series. Some money goes to PBR for holding the finals, some money goes towards the trophies. And the rest of the money is prize money? Any ideas how that will be distributed? May I suggest that it's a winner takes all scenario in terms of the cash, so that it can be put towards helping fund their trip to IFPA, it's in California this year, which will be super expensive, so any help towards that trip (which has been rightfully earned), would be a big boost for that individual. And they are representing the UK, so it feels like a great thing for the winner of the UKCS to get, rather than watering it down. Maybe this has already been decided, but I haven't seen it documented anywhere, so any clarification would be great.

Looking forward to SWL this weekend, see lots of you there!

Of all of the monies collected from the IFPA for the £1 fees

10% is taken in Admin
10% goes to IFPA towards costs for World's
10% goes to IFPA towards costs for EPC

Leaving 70% to be distributed in the UK.

As you said, 20% goes to a charity, chosen by the winner of the UKCS. The winner* also gets a place in the world's.
The remaining 50% all goes to the host of the UKCS - this year PBR. From that money they will provide trophies, food and venue hire. Any money left over remains at the club for them to spend within the club, whether that's cost of replacement parts to get the machines 100%, cost for repairer, promotion of the club, etc.

There is no prize money per se for the UKCS, (unless there is significant amount left over and PBR decide to offer a small cash prize.)

Hi Wayne, could you share the full table? :) I know I won't be able to qualify but would be great to see where I am in the standings.

It's on my work PC, so won't be until Monday, but I believe there are over 300 people on it. I'll see how's best to share it, but due to working on different versions of Excel the formatting is going to take a bit of tidying up first!

Ah ok, thanks for clarifying, it was this post I wasn't sure about as it suggested prize money.

Wayne J said:
That money will be split between trophies, prize money, and the venue hosting the Finals.
There will also be 20% of the total monies raised allocated to a charity of choosing by the highest seeded qualifier.

, or is it about the prize money which although currently unknown - is going to be far superior to any other comp you don't need to pay entry for, and higher than all but 3 or 4 comps in the UK.

But no problem, all good. PBR definitely needs our support and any money to them is all good. I can't go to California for IFPA next year, but I understand the expense involved, it's also the pinnacle of what we do, so any chance to support our UK guys who do go, I think is a positive thing

Sorry for the confusion, that's on me from earlier posts while things were still being finalised.
 
Following a busy week at SWL for the Festive Gathering* there have been some big moves from 2 players in particular - namely Luke (@GezTheHealer ) with a win in the classics and Rich (@RuyLopez ) who despite only a 7th and 17th position over the weekend - it was his 3rd event attended in the year meaning that his strong performances at Pinfest and the UK Open shoot him in to the qualifying positions.

With only 1 more event to go The RobotBash hosted by Greg (@robotgreg ) on the 30th the top 3 are split by only 5 WPPRpts.

Qualifying positions are updated on the front page of this thread
(I've also attached the full standings here as requested)

*I am aware that Peter (@Moonraker) is querying the IFPA published results, and will update the spreadsheet if and when there are any changes.

There are few names on here I don't know your tags for, so could people please contact me, or someone else let them know - I'll try and reach out via other means as well.

I will need to know whether you can attend or not by Friday 19th January to give time to the reserves who could take the vacant place, so please don't delay in getting in touch.

The reserve list is:

David Bowery @David_Vi
Kevin Donovan @kevlar
Dan Lewell @DanLewell
Brad Atwood @Itch
David Dutton @DAD

Don't forget that there are also 2 other competitions running over the weekend at PBR, if there are any vacancies in the UKCS finals these will be filled by the highest qualifier present - so it's definitely worth coming anyway.

I should know the allocations of the money from the IFPA in the next week or so, and will update accordingly.

At stake on the day will be the chance to nominate which charity the prize money will go to (decided by the winner on the day) PLUS a spot in the World Championships to be held in California.

So will the winner of the UKCS be the person who brings a google map listing with how far they have travelled to all the events? The DOMINO Organisation will give that person £250, a special silver domino and a Kojak "Who Loves you Baby" Lollipop.

On a side note - congratulations to @robotgreg who attended every event on the circuit - a nice £250 prize to start the year off from the Domino Organisation :)

Well done Greg! Very well deserved acknowledgement of your commitment to attending pinball events! - especially when you have such a long journey for most of these and drive there and home all in one day.

Above is the breakdown of how the monies collected by the IFPA are distributed for all non-US countries.

This means that the winner on the day will be choosing which charity will be receiving £649, and PBR will be receiving £1,623 to go towards hosting and running costs of the club.
