Wow, well done Dan! and to think you were low enough to play in the same group as me at one pointCheers guys.
Yeah had 10mil going into ball 3 on maiden. Needed 200m to qualify.
Got to 197m but 10m bonus squeezed me past Stan.
Thanks to Neil and anyone else involved with flip out and the comp. I played terribly the first half of the comp, the 3 cans of carling then relaxed me enough to claw my way back up to mid table though
. After 5 rounds I was tied with Vin and he wasn't even there!
Vin managed to beat Jenette on one game while we were plunging his balls for him!! Well played @thelabAfter 5 rounds I was tied with Vin and he wasn't even there!

Yeah I missed second round finals by one sparky miss hit - but that’s pinball.
a lot of great effort across the board and thanks to everyone who did something and helped out.
craig, you’ll be please to knownI had to chop the switch on Skateball
and it’s all Dan’s fault

What happened?? You got that little backhand up in the inlane going did you Dan??
Yep, I did on ball one, and Neil saw how easy it was so had to do something or we would all be there all day just doing that.
He's converted into a one way switch now so much better for comps.
Nice mate
I was secretly hoping it was going to be me who was going to do that 
Agreed though, it needed to be done. Great fun

I have to say on Matchplay I had Dan as 4th when he stepped up! Great ball!@DanLewell well done mate
Stormy told me about your incredible ball on Maiden against @bartron, top work mate.
Well done @robotgreg
Wish I could have been there, have a great time today guys
Thanks for a great day!
We brought my friend Matt Peck over (I always use his full name
), I got him into pinball through PinballFX3, multiple visits to Flip out and regular playing of my machines. But this was his first experience of a competition other than casual ones with friends at mine.
He had a great time, although not knowing anyone except me and Claire, or most of the games.
I think he did well, (27th) and it was great to see everyone so helpful and welcoming.
Its also only my 3rd pinball event and I can't wait for the next one.
I was so tired about two thirds through the day and seemed to suffer bad luck and bad skills. Hoped for at least below 30th

I had great fun yesterday! I'm especially pleased as I was much less nervous and was able to relax. A shame we didn't stop at round 6 when I was top 20 though Great to see everyone and meet new people though!
I left our milk bottle in the fridge (a bright orange mini flask) - would someone from the Flip Out crew be able to empty and rinse it out for us to collect next time we visit? (I even thought as I put it in there, "I must make sure I don't forget this"...!)

Thank you for organising. We couldn’t make it in the end as we’ve all had a cold for a few days (happily, not COVID), and this morning my husband abruptly ran a fever and fainted twice. The Large Lad was very disappointed, but we’re planning to bring him to FlipOut another week 
That is a great photo. Top balancing skills
Wait. I didn't even notice the trophies till you said that
Thanks to all for organising. What a great weekend of pinball. Look forward to the next one and @Nickoss II picking a different song at Karaoke. 'Pinball Wizard' should have surely been his song.

Results for Sunday approved by IFPA and will be in the next rebuild.
I have videos of Nick and Bens karaoke and will blackmail them both one day.
Thanks for organising a great weekend Matt, Neil and everyone else involved. Got back home 1am & tumbled into bed knackered but happy. Its great to be back playing in tourney's but its even better to be socializing with you all again. Wish with the whole of my heart i could have joined on the sat night but i know i really wouldnt have dond myself any favours..but I will next time.. especially if its karaoke again!! The highlight though had to be playing disco maiden, pinball+ABBA=my idea of heaven! 
A fantastic weekend of pinball - very many thanks to Neil and Matt for all their hard work running the comps.
Really enjpyed the comps especially Saturday, having one of my better days and was delighted to win espcieally after coming last in the first round to Ben, Claire and Graham and also to make the final again on Sunday but was flaking by the end of it all! Still had a great time embellished by watching Nick and Ben doing their karaoke - @kevlar , those videos must be worth a lot!
Well played to Nick on both days and Andy for a fully deserved win on Sunday Also congrats to Yeun and Leo for great play.
Thoroughly enjoyed it all, although knackered now!

Can I add my thanks to Matt and all the other great people who helped run another excellent event. So good to see Flip Out buzzing and filled with people and really pleased with 2nd place with so many brilliant players around. The 3 game playoff format from the round of 16 was interesting, fun and stressful all at the same time!
By the way - is it normal to have my entire body aching after this weekend or am I doing it wrong?!
