I am pleased to announce that Special When Lit will be hosting the "not another birthday tournament" tournament in Salisbury on Sunday 19th October.

It will be all day head to head match play with no knockout and no elimination, unlimited number of rounds the next round starts as soon as the previous round has finished.

SWL will be open from 11am for registration, the tournament will start promptly at 12 noon. The event will end after the last match has been played after 5.30pm. Please ensure you can stay for the duration of the tournament.

Lowest ranked WPPR competitor will play first, the second player will be expected to finish the game early if the first player's score has been exceeded on the last ball. If any of the top 4 places at tied at the end then there will be a play off on a randomly drawn game. If all of the top 4 places are tied then there will be a final.

Games change on an ad hoc basis and are subject to serviceability and change.

We hope to have the following machines available to play:

Edited the Date as you had put September in the main box, and i couldnt work out how Kev was going this morning, however it was yesterday :D
 
Where is the most popular place to stay peter? I ended up miles away last year :-(.

Devizes Inn is a popular place with those who stay over. It looks like that costs £55 per night.

Sarum college in Cathedral Close is listing rooms at £39 per night (shared bathroom) possibly a bit of a religous backdrop/decor but a lovely building right next to the cathedral.

Both listed at www.laterooms.com

Otherwise try http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotels-g186414-c2-Salisbury_Wiltshire_England-Hotels.html
Both Avonlea and Leena's B&B are close by and highly rated (Devizes Inn showing at £48 per night).
 
Already done as a result of your previous post. Also added Dave seeing as he clicked the confirmed attendees button. I need to ask him if Lynda is goign as well. :cool:
 
I must have had a few too many last night, I'm mixing my tournaments up lol. I will be attending this and the festive one pete, was referring to the latter when i asked about stopping over.
 
Hi Peter

Just managed to arrange that weekend's activities so I can attend - can you add me to the oust please?

Nick
 
Thanks Peter

Should me just me this time, having managed to extricate myself from various conflicting family commitments!
 
New machine added to the line up - Transformers LE Combo :thumbs:

The Amazing Spider-man is unlikely to be ready in time as I'm still awaiting the new backglass and it has a small IRQ fault that needs investigating. :tut:
 
Subject to it working when put back together - Black Knight has been added to the games list. Also LOTR will make an appearance.

There are 9 places remaining for this 6 hour head to head showdown.

Trophies for the top 3, best Junior, best Lady. Separate cup for the side tournament - first place only. Replacement parts arrived today for the broken trophy bits.

Moira is planning her usual magic for the spread.
 
Big thanks to peter for organising and running this tournament today, very well done. Had a great time despite playing like a dick, thinking of changing my forum name to " TiltEndsGame " :-(
