ECS Switzerland March 18th 19th 2023

Thought that I would post this thread to arose some support for two of our young up n coming Pinball players from the U.K. who are attending this event. Jack Burden @NewForestPinballJr and Joshua Iles. Along with there chaperone Martin @cyberkryten
Having spoken to them I know that they would appreciate the support of the Pinball community as a fair bit of their pocket money will be going towards the trip and it’s their first major tournament. Knowing we are all cheering them on (Martin included) will give them a great confidence boost. Think JDL Pinball will be streaming the events on twitter. For more information see below...

Swapped out Josh's two machines last night, to give him some variety practicing.

Hopefully Jack and Josh will be on top form

I'm doing the other comps, will be, um, interesting given the entry list!

 

[Julian Hepworth]

Ha - in 1990/1991 I worked at Sandoz in Basel on a placement year. Hadn't got into pinball at that time, but did come back with a future wife (still have her).
Good memories from that part of the world.
Good luck to you

 

[Jackpot]

I'm a Timberholic myself but those two are alright I suppose...

I invested myself too much in the Martyn Iles story and can't give anymore.

 

[Genotime]

Them boys doing some damage so far

 

[Deleted member 2463]

can't believe they aren't streaming this. Should be a requirement of hosting.

 

[Deleted member 2463]

congrats to Jack and Josh who I think have qualified.

 

[Gonzo]

Wonderful news ..... well done chaps

 

[new forest pinball]

Josh has on a bye. Jack is playing Luca Fredella in a best of seven after losing a 3-way bye playoff…..
EDIT: Jack out lost 3-4 last game was wh2o. Jack hit 3 jackpots that didn’t register. But TD overruled it!(?)

 

[cyberkryten]

Jack got screwed on WW
Game didn’t kick the balls out so by the time it did he only got single 12M jackpots instead of them going up as he hit all three shots

Jeremy got knocked out by Jacob Tkacz last night

Josh just beat Jakob 4-2 to reach the last 8

Some Epic games between them

Wow fantastic, last 8! That's absolutely amazing Josh, well done mate. Please keep us updated Martin, such a shame it's not being streamed

 

[cyberkryten]

No, they’re not setup to stream any of it

Bit of a wait now as players are in the other finals, but nice to see:
