When qualifying ends at 6pm on Saturday, the sixteen players with the top two scores on each machine will have qualified for the finals to be played the next day.

Only one qualification per player is allowed, so if a player has the top score on more than one machine, the machine on which they have the greatest margin of victory will be their qualifying machine and all other scores will not be counted. This will result in players in second, third or lower positions moving up to qualify for the play-offs. (Any joint 16th place players will compete for the best game on a machine selected by the TD)

In the play-offs, the sixteen qualifiers will be formed into the following:

Round 1 (16 players divided into groups of 4) (Top 2 in each group advance into next round) on 3 random machines from pool
Round 2 (8 Players divided into groups 4) (Top 2 in each group advance into next round) on 3 random machines from pool
Round 3 (4 Players into 1 group of 4) Compete for 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Place on 3 random machines from pool

All games in rounds score 4,2,1,0

Just seen your email regarding access. I've shared that document with you now

Whats the cut off time for pre-registering and still getting a t-shirt, or will this be the same T Shirt as normal purchasers this year?

 

[Arv]

If you leave it to last minute chances are you won't get a t-shirt in your size.
Also chances are if you pay on the day you won't get a t-shirt either as I'll have ran out.

End of the day it's £25 to enter an awesome competition.

 

[Doggard]

Will there be 2 t shirt versions, like last year ?
As the ones you could buy at the event, had the game logos on the back, but the pre registration ones didn’t. Surely people going to the effort of registering in advance, should get the good ones.

T-Shirt FAQ

1. Pre-register get a t-shirt. (Single sided, Design to be completed)
2. Don't pre-register no t-shirt.

 

[Taxiturn]

Paid, and please sign me up for scorekeeping Friday 12-1 assuming you still need people in that slot. You can make your spreadsheet view only for everybody which will make it easier to find slots, I can’t open it at all.

Many thanks,

Simon Love

[MattCarr]

Registered but forgot to put the t-shirt size. Medium shirt please.

 

[thelab]

Noooooo! Can't be.!

Pray tell, as I can't get over my excitement, but is that, like, is that possibly, THE Harlem Globetrotters that was best in show by any chance at all? Please say it's true, I'm feeling giddy already
