2017 IFPA Calendar


Recommended Posts

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!

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.

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.

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.

 

Hate you for it? LOL

 

You're implementing the original strategy!

 

Thanks for taking the leap, Corey.

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.

Thanks Dave.

 

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.

 

Cheers,

Cheers. Seemed to go down well.

 

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

Maybe a possible 120 points for the weekend? Sys11 worlds, pincade and pincade classic.

 

Yep, something like that.

 

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+.

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....

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 :( )

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.

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...
