Trots sjukdom, nyårsbestyr, allmänna avhoppare och för tuff bakfylla så blev det ändå 21 glada flippertanter och -gubbar som kämpade om de åtta kvalplatserna.

När dammet från Classic-spelen lagt sig och de riktiga spelen tog vid ansades snabbt agnarna från vetet (eller var det tvärtom?) och topp fyra blev:

1. OST
2. DDH
3. KKH
4. T K

Tack för 2023, Gott nytt år allihopa och välkomna tillbaka 2024!.

I samband med European Championship Series Finals i Borås i mars kommer även BPCO 2024 hållas. Denna tävling är öppen för alla, men kvaltiderna kommer att vara lite speciella. Även fredagens månadstävling kommer att vara öppen för alla upp till max 132 deltagare. Förutom dessa två större tävlingar så blir det också två mindre tävlingar i Magnus Viktorssons lokal i Borås – en på lördag och en på söndag. Anmälningen för dessa öppnar en månad innan.

Är ni INTE med i ECS-finalen så måste ni hinna kvala klart era 24 försök på tiderna UTOM de som är vikta för just ECS-deltagarna under lördagen. Tänk på att det tar ca 3 timmar att kvala om det inte är köer. Ni går två och två, men spelar en och en. Alla tre försöken per spel adderas ihop och matas in i Matchplay av er själva innan ni går vidare till nästa spel.

BPCO Avgift: 360 SEK

Format
Två grupper spelar 8 maskiner vardera (3 kulor), tre försök per maskin, alla försök räknas. 48 spelare till final. Top 16 får en bye. Man-mot-man, bäst av 5 spel. TGP = 230–276 %

ENGLISH VERSION

In connection with the European Championship Series Finals in Borås in March, BPCO 2024 will also be held. This competition is open to everyone, but the qualifying times will be a bit special. Friday's monthly competition will also be open to everyone up to a maximum of 132 participants. In addition to these two large competitions, there will also be two smaller competitions at Magnus Viktorsson's place in Borås - one on Saturday and one on Sunday. Registration for these opens one month prior.

If you are NOT in the ECS final, you must have time to qualify your 24 attempts in the time slots EXCEPT those that are intended for the ECS participants on Saturday. Keep in mind that it takes about 3 hours to qualify if there are no queues. You will be assigned a co-player, but will play single rounds. All three attempts per game are added together and entered into Matchplay by yourselves before moving on to the next game.

BPCO Fee: 360 SEK / €30

Format
Two groups plays 8 machines each (3 balls), three attempts per machine, all attempts count. 48 players to Finals. Top16 get one bye. Single elimination, best out of 5 machines. TGP = 230–276%
