Dutch Pinball Open 21-23 Nov

Event overview Discussion (20)
Thought it would be good to have a thread for DPO - who’s going and which time slots did you get?

I’ll be in slot 3 (Saturday afternoon) for main qualifying. Going to look at flights and decide whether I’ll be flying out Friday evening or first thing on Saturday…
 
Comp slot 4 for me, looking forward to this
Seems a lot of people had issues booking in for this
 
There was a bit of a balls-up with the organiser’s website so they sold way more tournament entries than they intended to. The format has changed to accommodate, so qualifying in the main tournament is now groups of 11 playing H2H, with the top 2 going through. Each time slot has eight groups!

Huge British contingent, with even more on the waiting list:

Slot 1
Chris Granby
Ian Clarke
Isaac Granby
Jim King
Jim Lindsay
Jon Carolan
Peter Blakemore
Roy Smith
Tim Knowles

Slot 2
Claire Lickman
Craig Pullen
David Bowery
Gene Aw
Martin Bedford
Nathan Garwood
Phil Stokes

Slot 3
Conrad Chambers
Jeremy Dorling
Josh Iles
Neil McRae
Nick London
Simon Love

Slot 4
David Fowler
Gareth Arnold
Ian Walmsley
Steven Smith
Yuen Aw
 
The day has almost come, DPO starts tomorrow night (for some) with qualifying running through Saturday and finals for main on Sunday.

The main competition divides the field into 32 groups of 11, playing round robin H2H in each group. The top qualifier in each group gets a bye to the round of 64, and 2nd and 3rd place qualify to the first round of 96.
