FRIDAY 11TH, SATURDAY 12TH & SUNDAY 13TH DECEMBER 2015

FRIDAY 11TH DECEMBER, 18:30-22:00
Social gathering on Friday night for those who want an early start to the weekend.

Normal Special When Lit entry fee applies: £5 per person, £3 for children under 16, free for children aged 10 and under.

SATURDAY 12TH DECEMBER, 12:00-18:00
The Festive Classics will be held on Saturday in conjunction with/alongside the Special When Lit League. Both the Classics and League are open for everyone to play in.

For those who don't feel competitive and would rather not participate in the League and/or the Classics then all remaining machines will be available to play. Normal Special When Lit entry fee applies: £5 per person, £3 for children under 16, free for children aged 10 and under.

FESTIVE CLASSIC TOURNAMENT
You will play three qualifying games on each of the five classic machines. The sum of your three scores on each machine will count as your overall score on that machine. The top 16 qualifiers will advance to head-to-head play in a 'best of three' games match. The top eight players will then play 'best of three' matches to find the top four players. These players will play 'best of three' matches to find the top two players who will then play a 'best of three' match to find the winner.

SWL LEAGUE
For the League, eight machines will be randomly selected at 12:00 and the League will then start. You do not need to be there at 12noon on the dot, the latest possible league game start is 4pm.

NOTE: There will be no practice on machines in the League or Classic tournaments but you are free to practice on any machine not selected.

COST
Festive Classic Tournament – £5 per person, £3 for children under 16.

SUNDAY 13TH DECEMBER, 11:00-18:00

FESTIVE PINBALL GATHERING TOURNAMENT
Head-to-head qualifying matches in four groups of up to 13 people. The top four players from each group will qualify for the next round. These 16 players will play 'best of three' head-to-head matches. The top eight players will then play 'best of three' matches to find the top four players. These players will play 'best of three' matches to find the top two players who will then play a 'best of three' match to find the winner.

There will be a 30 minute practice whilst people are registering. Play to start at 11:30am, qualifying to be completed by 3:30pm, when the knockout will start.

A bump seeing as there's a little over a week to go, plenty of places remaining with 19 spaces for Saturday and 24 spaces for Sunday. :cool:
 
Yeah, lots of spaces left unlike last year when it sold out.

Also we now have improved outside lighting for when it gets dark!
