+1 on the wait list please 
Just paid Neil
I did manage to create my own Wordpress account yesterday whilst trying (I thought) to recreate my login details
Waiting list for me please too Neil. Many thanks.
Waiting list for me too. Thank you.
Wow, it's very clear that we have all missed playing pinball together! And that Neil runs a good event 
Very true! Although i still have no idea how a critical hit comp works?

ok we think we've got a scheme that would allow us to host 52, would need help from a few punters on the Saturday to move a couple of games. Will confirm by Wednesday.
Neil.

will explain on the day obvs
but:Everyone gets two cards with a spell on them that they can cast at certain points of the round. For example:
Confusion - allows you to swap the game to one you want - that has been assigned to your group. If you had this card you cast it before we start playing the round.
Bomba - after ball 1 if a player casts this it restarts the game for all players on that game.
but do you play your card in the first round, or later in the event?
Sounds dark.will explain on the day obvs

I love it already!
I'm not a million miles away Neil if you need a hand.
This sounds like a great event and very generous of Neil to host. I’m looking forward to the day when I feel I’m good enough to put my name down and make some new friends. If I were to go now I’ll probably be the butt of most peoples jokes

My advice is to just dive in!This sounds like a great event and very generous of Neil to host. I’m looking forward to the day when I feel I’m good enough to put my name down and make some new friends. If I were to go now I’ll probably be the butt of most peoples jokes
I've been to a few tournaments now and I think a bit of a rookie. It can feel a bit awkward at first when you hardly know anyone, but before you know it you get stuck in to playing and get to know people as you play. For the most part players are welcoming and happy to give advice
Second that ! I used to feel that i would make a fool of myself, but started to go to a few comps. the community is really friendly, doesn't matter to me if i win or lose, just enjoy playing.My advice is to just dive in!
Not at all - it’s really laid back & fun. I’m not a great player but thats irrelevant, everyone’s at these events for their love of pinball, not to take the ****. Get ya name down for one, you’ll never look back [emoji106]

I remember the first comp I entered at 8-bit Flip in a social club in Lostock Gralam (Northwich) - very early on was playing against Martin Ayub, with not a clue who he was. I was useless, but still had fun (& only a bit better now)This sounds like a great event and very generous of Neil to host.

more seriously the only way you get good enough is by going to events...This sounds like a great event and very generous of Neil to host.

Thanks for the advice and it’s nice to know that the guys are friendly. I definitely need to practice a bit more before I’m ready to embarrass myself though lolMy advice is to just dive in!
Maybe next time I’ll put my name down
@Neil McRae happy to help out in any way. Just let me know. Cheers.

That's what my mother always says and she's taken a few notable scalps over the years, even finishing 5th in one Xmas event. Several on this thread can testify...!
I remember being like this myself, I had a look on the pinball league website and checked the scores, and felt that I would come last, and then forgot about it for years...This sounds like a great event and very generous of Neil to host.

Though now I think the best way to get better is to just play with others, you'll learn a lot just from watching how they play.
Quite. I still remember a particular Whitewater gameThat's what my mother always says and she's taken a few notable scalps over the years, even finishing 5th in one Xmas event. Several on this thread can testify...!
