We are delighted to announce that the next Pinball Office event will be on Sunday 16th April!

This event is an official IFPA event and all are welcome. We’ve had a great mix of ‘veteran’ and new players at our last two events, and at the league events.

Registration will be £20 per person, which includes free parking on site. Registration opens at midday on Saturday 4th March on the Pinball Office website (first come first served): https://www.thepinballoffice.co.uk/

As before, we will have prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. We will also have under 16s prizes.

Competition Details

Doors open at 10:00, with the Matchplay qualifying starting at 10:30.

The format for qualifying will be 3 or 4 player matches across 12 rounds (based on previous events, this means qualifying will finish around 17:00). Qualifying matches will be scored as 7-5-3-1 for 4 player matches or 7-4-1 for 3 player matches.

The top 2 players in qualifying will have a bye to the final.

Players 3-6 will then play in a single match semi-final, with the winning 2 players going into the final.

The final will be 4 players playing 3 games, scored in a 4-2-1-0 format (with a tie breaker game if there's a draw).

If positions 3-6 include more than four players, a tie break game will be played on a randomly allocated machine. Players will be eliminated until only the required amount qualifies for the semi-finals.

Food & Drink

Soft and hot drinks can be purchased at the Office, and light snacks will be provided.

There is a café on site which is open until 14:30, The Waterfront Kitchen. They have provided the club with 15% off vouchers - details here: https://www.thewaterfrontkitchen.co.uk

There is a nice Mexican in Sawbridgeworth - just wondered if anyone fancies grabbing some food after? (I appreciate it's short notice!)


Usually I'm shattered after TDing an event but if a few people want to go I'll book a table. :)

I would be up for that if you wouldn't mind dropping me off at the station afterwards.
 
There's going to be 12 rounds and the finals should start about 5pm, based on previous events (1 game semi-final, 3 game final). January's event finished about 6.30pm. I'd certainly hope we'd be able to eat by 7. :)
 
Is anyone going on Sunday that is close to ME20 6BA that could drop off a box for me please? Not that far from Maidstone.
 
there is also an epic curry place in sawbridgeworth - not sure if its open Sunday but its outstanding:


this place is really good!
 
Good shout! I've had takeaway from there when I lived in Sawbridgeworth, didn't realise it had a restaurant too. Looks like they are open Sundays, so happy to go there instead!
 
The café near the Office, The Waterfront Kitchen, is going to be opening from 8.30am for anyone who arrives early and wants to grab some food. :) I've eaten there a lot over the last few months and they are really good, and friendly service.

If anyone wants to order lunch from them, I'll be doing a bulk order before the competition starts - we've spoken to them to organise it and they'll make sure it's all ready for the lunch break at 1pm. You'll also get a 15% discount. :)

Just let me know tomorrow what you'd like (or message me tonight).

It's in the same building as the Office, just on the river side.
