Hi
Here is the invitation to the 2017 EPC Satellite Tournament, which will be held in Mölndal just outside Gothenburg.
The tournament is called MS Memorial after the distinguished Swedish pinball profile Markus Salo, who so sadly passed away earlier this year. During the years he helped us a lot - not only with repairing our games but also with our organization and much more. This is our tribute to him!
Rules: The players will be devided into two groups consisting of at most 24 players in each group (so the total amounts to 48 players). Each group will be playing at eight pinball machines (two electro mechanical games, two Bally SS from around 1980, two Williams WPC/System 11 and two DMD games). Each player gets two attempts on each machine and both attempts count. Each player also gets one joker, which he/she can use on any machine as he/she wants. The joker can only improve an earlier score (never worsen!).
The following games are intended to be used:
EM: Aztec, Dealer´s Choice, Fast Draw, Out of Sight Wizard
Bally Classic: Black Jack, Dolly Parton, Harlem Globetrotters, Power Play & Strikes & Spares
Williams WPC/System 11: Bride of Pinbot, Comet, Dr Dude, Elvira & The Partymonsters & Space Shuttle
DMD: Dirty Harry Indy 500, No Fear, Shadow & White Water
On the EM machines and the Bally Classic machines five balls are played. On the other machines three balls are played.
On the following EM games it´s possible to get extra balls (and the extra balls are supposed to be played): Aztec, Dealer´s Choice and Wizard
The qualification will be played between 4pm - 9pm and the playoffs will start at 9pm. It´s drop-in qulification, so come early to ensure that you have played all your scores when the playoffs start at 9pm!
Score cards are handed in when all your scores are played (but not later than 9pm)
Scoring: Linear, where the average player on each machine gets 50 points.
Playoffs: 16 players advance to playoffs (eight players from each group). Head-2-head matches in best of 3 randomly selected machines. The higher seeded player decides the starting order.

Location: Möbelgatan 1 in Mölndal, Sweden. Entrance from the back yard. Big (and free!) parking lot just outside the door. The closest bus stop is also called Möbelgatan but has limited service. "Mölndals Bro" has many more lines and we can probably arrange some kind of pickup service.
