To add to the excitement, it looks like the winner of pinburgh will be crowned the Unofficial Pinball World Champion! (unless the current UPWC champion can’t make it, or loses the crown in a pre-pinburgh event…)

Excited? This is the first major tournament I’m going to be playing in. Frigging ecstatic and terrified is a more apt description

Meh… it’ll be alright…

MrMCarlson · July 28, 2015, 2:13pm

Me too. Can’t wait to have a million random conversations a day bitching about games.

“Cayle, I am your future self. I have traveled through time to acknowledge your excitement and recapture it for a future that has not yet been written.”

I’m so pumped, I wish it was next week.

First Pinburgh. Can’t wait! I’d say this is the farthest I’ve traveled for a pinball tournament, but I did play one in Wales last year because the timing worked out. Flying out one week from tomorrow. Maybe time to start thinking about what to pack!

KCB · July 18, 2016, 6:23pm

Hmm…time to book my flight!

timballs · July 18, 2016, 7:12pm

(fingers crossed I don’t have 2 no-shows in my first group again this year) Woohoo! Pinburgh!!!

TomGWI · July 18, 2016, 9:34pm

So what happens if there is 2 no shows. Do you play against just the other person in your group?

timballs · July 18, 2016, 9:46pm

Yes. You play all 4 games. Winner gets 1 point, loser gets 0. At the end of the round your total w/l is multiplied by 3. I went 1-3 (3-9)

It’s my first Pinburgh, and I’m reading up on the rules. I see that the rules are still the 2015 edition. Is there/will there be a 2016 edition posted?

There are unlikely to be any major rule changes, but yes, things are getting finalized this week. The rules will be made available online and readable onsite.
