Really fun day! Brilliant to see so many people from the UK Scene in one place, must be the biggest Matchplay in the UK for quite some time if ever?

Chuffed to get into the top 16, felt lucky to be honest! I knew Josh I'd need a miracle to win against Josh on Spiderman so I went in having a good time

A fantastic enjoyable weekend, thanks to Gene, Steve and all his staff and to everyone involved to make it happen

Thanks so much for having us yesterday Steve and Gene - I had a great time, and it was so good to see so many people together and catch up. It's always a friendly atmosphere at Electric Circus, and I really enjoyed the whole weekend

I've added photos from the day and the winners on Google Photos - I edited some but have included the originals too: https://photos.app.goo.gl/Huf7UujoTJ29hUEU8

Well done Andy @PUP !

[windoesnot]

Huge thanks to the organisers, another great comp by you all. Just make it 10 qualifying rounds instead of 13 next time!

Our Katherine loved the bouncy castle too

What do people do with all the trophies for these events - do the usual people who win have warehouses set up just to store their hundreds of lifetime trophies. Or they recycled and reused maybe

Toss it on the pile! ( not me, I only have a few )

@roadshow16 gave his away from memory. I'm probably going to do the same at some point this year, so if anyone wants some trophies for comps, let me know

Melt them down and make 1 giant trophy.

@DanLewell here's your chance!

Chuffed to get into the top 16, felt lucky to be honest! I knew Josh I'd need a miracle to win against Josh on Spiderman so I went in having a good time

@David_Vi Spiderman was our first machine and Josh had a great game with @mufcmufc on it earlier so Josh was always picking it, you put up a decent score and made him work for it.

He got away with it a bit on Dolly.

Big thanks to @new forest pinball for the Xenon loan, that came in handy as it was another of Josh's picks.

All hail the King @PUP for the win, Josh was pleased with how he played on F14 but it was a real lesson in how to manage a multi ball.

Thanks for the venue and organisers
