Have signed up and I'm gonna give the the scorekeeping a go this time too! How hard can it be... (words said before disaster)
Yup same, if anything it’ll force me to take a couple of hours off playing!
I haven’t made it onto the confirmed attendee list on the website yet, will give it a while to update
I signed up on the dot at 7pm, just checked, name is on the confirmed list all ok and got my qr code but didnt I get an option to take the volunteer slot. Happy to help with a score keep slot if it can be changed? Cheers, Andy

Yes, there was a weird issue with the ticket site - please email Neil directly about ticket issues at neil@domino.org and he'll sort it for you 
Question: Are spectators allowed, I'm thinking of attending and competing, and Clare wants to attend and not compete, she's happy to do some scoring though.
EDIT - She's decided to play! 2 tickets booked.

This says something about the level of event Neil puts on
You have to remember UK Open is in between PAPA and EPC and people still flocking over here for this!
Super proud to be part of this team again!

I hope this isnt a stupid question. But I was wondering, outside of competition play is it possible to play/practice on machines that are not being used.

Last time there was around 5/6 games just outside the main tournament area set to free play that anyone could play - I'd expect that to be the case again?
If you mean the machines in the comps, then no, its ticketed play only as the comps run the full time that the room is open. As DanO said there were a small number of freeplay machines last year, no idea if that will be repeated this year.

deadly thanks for the reply, definitely clears things up!
Just made an amendment to my volunteering times but will also be floating about and helping extra here and there too..
UK Open is only a couple of weeks now!
It’s nearly sold out but still has a handful of spaces left, heard some European players are looking to book up after the EPC but I think we should fill up the last spaces with UK players!
Its an amazing weekend and everyone on the team including myself are extremely excited to welcome everyone back
But Neil has really stepped up and commissioned Brian Allen… Artist to all your favourite alternative backglass art to do the official UK Open T- ****t
One included in your ticket price… here’s a teaser!
It’s an absolute banger
