GEE Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 (edited) Hey all, As mentioned in another thread, I think it's a good move for all of us to work together now in sorting out a smooth and effective Aussie 2017 IFPA calendar. I've collated below Tournaments and dates based on the 2016 calendar, and have included two Kiwi events/Tournaments plus Newcastle's Pinfest (although there is currently no Tournament there), as they're major events I think we don't want to see clashing with any Aussie Tournaments. Included also are the four most prestigious World Pinball Tournaments, which I'm hopeful we have the foresight to see the sense in developing and building our Calendar around. IMO the ideal would be to have the major inter-state events spaced out enough to be viable for as many travelers as possible, whilst the smaller events are largely supportive of a bigger picture. I'm hoping you guys will check for errors, and anyone (especially current TD's and prospective TD's) can add/delete/confirm Tournaments as well as make suggestions. Yeah - I know the Gold Coast isn't South East QLD, but for this calendar it is! ------------------------------ Jan 1 - (Selfie) Magic Hands Super League Dec 2016 Final - SYD Jan 1 - (Selfie) Melbourne Silverball League Dec 2016 Final - MEL Jan 7 - (Selfie) Newcastle Dec 2016 Final - NEW Jan 7 - River City Monthly - SE QLD Jan 9 - (League) Peacock Inn Pinball Allstars (1/4 + Final) - MEL Jan 26 - Pinball HQ Masters (League Final) - SYD Jan 27 - Ipswich Silverball Selfie - SE QLD Jan 28 - Flipswitch - SE QLD ======================== Feb 1 - Gold Coast League (1/3 + Final) - SE QLD Feb 4 - (Selfie) Newcastle Monthly - NEW Feb 4 - River City Monthly - SE QLD Feb 5 - (Selfie) Magic Hands Super League Jan Final - SYD Feb 5 - (Selfie) Melbourne Silverball League Jan Final - MEL Feb 6 - (League) Peacock Inn Pinball Allstars (2/4 + Final) - MEL Feb 10-12 - Australian Championship Series - MEL Feb 20 - Brisbane Pinball Club League (1/4 + Final) - SE QLD Feb 23 - Pinball HQ Masters (League Final) - SYD Feb 24 - Ipswich Silverball Selfie - SE QLD Feb 25 - Flipswitch - SE QLD Feb 20-26 - Pinball HQ Marathon - SYD ================ Mar 1 - Gold Coast League (2/3 + Final) - SE QLD Mar 2-5 - Pincade - NZ Mar 4 - (Selfie) Newcastle Monthly - NEW Mar 4 - River City Monthly - SE QLD Mar 5 - (Selfie) Magic Hands Super League Feb Final - SYD Mar 5 - (Selfie) Melbourne Silverball League Feb Final - MEL Mar 5 - Pinball HQ Marathon Final - SYD Mar 6 - Peacock Inn Allstars League (3/4 + Final) - MEL Mar 16-18 - Good Beer Week - SE QLD Mar 20 - Brisbane Pinball Club League (2/4 + Final) - SE QLD Mar 25 - Flipswich - SE QLD Mar 30 - Pinball HQ Masters - SYD Mar 31 - Ipswich Silverball Selfie - SE QLD ======================== Apr 1 - (Selfie) Newcastle Monthly - NEW Apr 1 - River City Monthly - SE QLD Apr 2 - (Selfie) Magic Hands Super League Feb Final - SYD Apr 2 - (Selfie) Melbourne Silverball League Feb Final - MEL Apr 3 - Peacock Inn Allstars League (4/4 + Final) - MEL Apr 5-9 - PAPA World Championships - USA Apr 5 - Gold Coast League (3/3 + Final) - SE QLD Apr 10 - Peacock Inn Allstars League Final - MEL Apr 12 - Gold Coast League (Final) - SE QLD Apr 17 - Brisbane Pinball Club League (3/4 + Final) - SE QLD Apr 27 - Pinball HQ Masters - SYD Apr 28 - Ipswich Silverball Selfie - SE QLD Apr 29 - Flipswich - SE QLD ===================== May 1 - (League) Peacock Inn Allstars (1/4 + Final) - MEL May 3 - Gold Coast League (1/3 + Final) - SE QLD May 6 - River City Monthly - SE QLD May 6 - (Selfie) Newcastle Monthly - NEW May 7 - (Selfie) Melbourne Silverball League Apr Final - MEL May 7 - (Selfie) Magic Hands Super League Aeb Final - SYD May 12-14 Australian Pinball Expo - SYD May 15 - Brisbane Pinball Club League (4/4 + Final) - SE QLD May 18-20 - Melbourne Good Beer Week - MEL May 19-21 - IFPA 14 World Pinball Championship - EUR May 25 - Pinball HQ Masters - SYD May 26 - Ipswich Selfie League - SE QLD May 27 - Flipswich - SE QLD ==================== Jun 3 - (Selfie) Newcastle May Final - NEW Jun 4 - (Selfie) Melbourne Silverball League May Final - MEL Jun 5 - (League) Peacock Inn Pinball Allstars (2/4 + Final) - MEL ==================== Jul 1 - (Selfie) Newcastle Jun Final - NEW Jul 2 - (Selfie) Melbourne Silverball League Jun Final - MEL Jul 3 - (League) Peacock Inn Pinball Allstars (3/4 + Final) - MEL Jul 23 - Pukekohe Classic - NZ Jul 28 - 30 Brisbane Masters - SE QLD Jul 27-30 - Pinburgh - USA ==================== Aug 5 - (Selfie) Newcastle Jul Final - NEW Aug 6 - (Selfie) Melbourne Silverball League Jul Final - MEL Aug 7 - (League) Peacock Inn Pinball Allstars (4/4 + Final) - MEL Aug 14 - (League - Final) Peacock Inn Pinball Allstars - MEL ==================== Sep 2 - (Selfie) Newcastle Aug Final - NEW Sep 3 - (Selfie) Melbourne Silverball League Aug Final - MEL Sep 4 - (League) Peacock Inn Pinball Allstars (1/4 + Final) - MEL Sep 8-10 - European Pinball Championships - EUR ==================== Oct 1 - (Selfie) Melbourne Silverball League Sep Final - MEL Oct 2 - (League) Peacock Inn Pinball Allstars (2/4 + Final) - MEL Oct 7 - (Selfie) Newcastle Sep Final - NEW =================== Nov 4 - (Selfie) Newcastle Oct Final - NEW Nov 5 - (Selfie) Melbourne Silverball League Oct Final - MEL Nov 6 - (League) Peacock Inn Pinball Allstars (3/4 + Final) - MEL =================== Dec 2 - (Selfie) Newcastle Nov Final - NEW Dec 3 - (Selfie) Melbourne Silverball League Nov Final - MEL Dec 4 - (League) Peacock Inn Pinball Allstars (4/4 + Final) - MEL Dec 11 - (League - Final) Peacock Inn Pinball Allstars - MEL Edited August 30, 2016 by GEE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nich2pat Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 You can probably take out all the selfie comps. They're not allowed next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEE Posted July 8, 2016 Author Share Posted July 8, 2016 You can probably take out all the selfie comps. They're not allowed next year. Selfie comps are allowed, it's just that the qualifying portion will no longer attract TGP. It's up to the TD's and participants if they're up to 100% TGP finals components for selfies to continue.

Lambo Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Hey G, I will probably be making the 1st season of Brisbane pinball only 3 rounds + final 2 weeks after that. Just waiting to see how points work out for current season before confirming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zzap Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 ACT Pinball Championship will be on one weekend in August, maybe 19/20 or 26/27? (To be confirmed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronl008 Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Re selfie comps for 2017 - I could be wrong but unsupervised qualifying through the month will be worth next to if not totally nothing, but the monthly final is worth some points, so hopefully the comp can continue albeit for greatly reduced points benefit. It's a fun format. Sorry just saw "G" response above, again hope it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corey.hamilton.587 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Just to let you know we have already changed from a selfie league,to a league,don't hate me for it because it's going to be interesting time ahead.

rotordave Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Just FYI kiwi Pincade will be the first week in March next year, as several of us are going to Texas the week after. Yee has asked me to run Sys11 World Champs again as part of Pincade. So: Pincade will be Thursday 2nd March to Sunday 5th March, with Sys11 Champs on the Sunday. rd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the dates will clash with the Pinball HQ Marathon if Norbert runs it at the same time as he did this year. I'll be seeing him on Wed, and will mention this to him.

This year I will also run a massive Classics Comp on the same day. Yep! 2x 35-40 point comps in one day. Mad you say? Just watch us do it! :D rd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugus Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Maybe a possible 120 points for the weekend? Sys11 worlds, pincade and pincade classic. Sent from my ALE-L02 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year: Chch 2 strike: 11 AKL 3 strike: 34 SYS11: 35 = 80 Up the first event to 4 player 3 strike, and add the classics at say 30 points, and its 130+. rd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franck Bona Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Ok, nice to hear that the pincade is returning again. Yes a classic competition could be nice but the SyS 11 was a blast success and took a lot of time, does that mean that we are going to have a 2 days comp at Rotordave' s ?? Yes points will be big if there is 3 tournaments. Pinball marathon have to move the week before the pincade, it is difficult to have 2 tournaments happening at the same time in one area. Looks nice... but always the same veryyyy loooong triiiip to your place... Need to fly with a rocket, to be faster.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to fly with a rocket, to be faster.... Plenty of time to drink some Gin and feel like a rocket :lol. If you come this year I will shout the cheapest Gin I can find and (no - we will go halves in payment) and tech you some more Kiwi / Aussie culture :P I look forward to it but it is my wifes 50th (and no she will not spend her time with a bunch of blokes (and gals) playing pinball :( ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Hey G, I will probably be making the 1st season of Brisbane pinball only 3 rounds + final 2 weeks after that. Just waiting to see how points work out for current season before confirming. @Lambo what your thoughts at this stage? Are you thinking league comps, or stand alone comp on each month? I'm sure I saw a more recent post that said you are thinking of changing back to the complete comp on each competition night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franck Bona Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Will you dare Acejas ? :p I might come with a few bottles in my luggage (if Emirates allows that)... But not the cheapest one... A man from the north would have killed me last year when he saw a few mates and I drinking his bottle at a rocket speed !!! :realmad::realmad: In the case of Norbert accepting the pinball marathon from the 20 to 26 of february, it will be possible (and the idea is not mine) to make an evening pubcrawl on Sydney, I swear the idea is not mine... It came from a girl from NZ !! (and of course it is not Danni !!), pinball marathon is a real marathon and takes place in a bar (what a coincidence), I like it and it is a training for pincade... :rolleyes Yes the system 11 was nice but a really love classics, balls are going slower and it is nice to play when you feel like a rocket (or a crazy frenchman !) :lol I am happy to practice another Aussie/Kiwi style evening... Mostly on sunday night when it is all over for pinball... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
