Just a note:
16 and unders only need the 6-16 entry and nothing else and they qualify for all tournaments (but will need entries).

will have a player list tomorrow if there is wifi on my plane, if not Monday!
Registered Claire and I. Figured it'd worth experiencing and we'll bring a game or more if it helps (bulk out the freeplay? And Diner for peoples bank).
We had already booked the Aerodrome for the UK open dates after the recent Pinball Republic weekend.

HERE COMES THE RUSH!
Looking forward to some competitive pinball at long last! It's a whole different game when competing and even though I don't expect to do well, it's worth it for the fun and experience. Well done Neil, I hope this sells out - massive kudos to you whatever the format of the competition is!
I’m also in for this. By getting the three day pass keeps thinks flexible should I decide to attend 2 or 3 days looking forward to it should be something very different in the pinball world and community.
Really hope that you have had a huge signup mate, esspecially from us Brits (Its the UK Open!). It's fantastic that you are putting on this world class event which as Big Phil has so rightly said, comes with a huge amount of risk. Fair play to you mate, the lengths you are going to is extraordinary.
Whether you are into tournament pinball or not, this event will be spectacular and it's so exciting that players from all over the world will be coming to play with/against us
Sorry if this has already been asked / answered.
1). Under 16s. They have their own contest included in the ticket (if I’m reading this correctly). Can they also enter the U.K. open? Or is this 17+ only? If they can do they buy a different ticket or just stump up £5 per game?
2). If any of the under 17 girls want to enter the woman’s contest then can they do this? (And does it then require the purchase of an adult ticket?)
3) if we can’t make it on the Friday is this only a problem in terms of the woman’s contest? Is entry to the others split across Friday and Saturday?

John 16 and under just need to buy the 3 day 16 and under pass and they can enter all tournaments. they just need to purchase entries but are included in the 16 and under tournament.
2: yes - all they need to buy is entries/tickets/cards at £5 per entry
3: on Friday you miss ladies qualifying and classics I - you will be able to play on U16, classics II, peoples bank and the main.

ok we are at 61 entrants from all over the world with more folks that I know are going to register! More Europeans than Brits at this stage so it would be good to address that even if you just buy the tournament add on now and get the entry later!
it’s going to rock and roll!
it’s going to rock and roll!
Got my tournament entry already @Neil McRae ! General entry won’t increase in price closer to the time will it?
Can additional entries be purchased on the day?

@Neil McRae - the event still shows as 'Provisional' - just in case that should now be changed to encourage those abroad or on the fence.
3 day pass, and tournament entry now booked.
Aerodrome hotel also booked.
Massive thanks to Neil for taking this on and bringing an event like this to the UK.
Thanks also to the PBR team - it's going to be a very busy weekend!
Really looking forward to this - I'll also bring the camera along to take a few snaps.
