As we pass the milestone of five official UK events with results registered for 2026, none of us have been enough of a sweat (© @Slythiel) but one giant among men has attended four of out five.
Three others are on three events, but the mighty Norwegian, Ulf, who led the attendance charge with 44 events in the 2025 season has yet to purchase his inter rail pass for this year and only made one.
A quieter weekend coming up but then the first season of both the PBR and the (now with WPPR points) Medway leagues will conclude and the finals of UKCS 2025 will occur before the end of February which should see a number of players reaching the five event bar.

Terrific stuff Pete. I was also toying with knocking up a quick site to track this (using the ifpa API), but I'm very happy to see someone else tackle it. 
Shame the IFPA can't directly support it though. You'd think it's trivial for them to write the correct database query and then put up a custom view to show it

True - but hopefully this will get the job done and, now it is set up, it is very quick and easy for me to update using calls to that IFPA API.Terrific stuff Pete. I was also toying with knocking up a quick site to track this (using the ifpa API), but I'm very happy to see someone else tackle it.

Has the additional nice feature that once the UKCS qualifiers tab starts to populate, it will also explicitly show you which <=20 events are counting for each player whilst the IFPA custom views are a simple filter on the tournaments that count for the custom view with limited ability to see "how the sums work".
When you click on the "Standings" link on the official UKCS page (https://www.ifpapinball.com/ukcs/) it does direct to this sheet now (thank you @roadshow16 ) so, at least, the chance for any further confusion on the rules for the standings for 2026 should be minimised.
