Pinball World Cup update:

[kme]

Archived from groups: rec.games.pinball (More info?)

The rosters for the pinball world cup have been expanded by 2. So
friday night at PAPA Sweden vs USA: 5 head to head matches, 4 split
flipper matches, 2 triples matches. One winner in the end for the
Pinball World Cup! USA's team now includes Paul Madison & Chris
Newsome. The USA has been served... so that means.. ITS ON!

Even though I didn't pick the team i did push to add more players
because if you have Paul Madison as an alternate then you know there
arent enough spots. Hopefully by next year we can have a true
qualifying system rather than letting the opponent pick our team cuz
there are many more A players (Except Josh Sharpe) more than capable.


BTW Josh, you are the alternate now. So have Tonya Harding knee-cap
Lyman and the spot is yours

Josh could also serve as "Consultant". Challenge the Swedes to any EM
and Josh can whip out his cell phone in an instant and call his dad to
get an instant strategy guide, like he did at PAPA 7 ;-)

We're the home team! We get to defend... like the America's Cup...
which we lost... does that make it the Australia's Cup or whatever now?

Got it. Just thought the Sweed's might have an affininty for pinball
similar to the way Brazil has an affinity towards soccer. But sounds like
just a select few like here in the US.

Choosing between a PAPA champ and a PAPA junior champ. Looks like the
US is in trouble!

Dont worry Josh, we'll dig up a Hello Kitty backpack or some giant
plush to give you some incentive like the old days. If two spots open
up you and Zach can fight over it.

No way man, I choose.... John Shields!

Oh, wait, he's Canadian right? Alright, I guess I'll give it up to
Minnesota champion Zack.

Actually there should be a knock-down drag-out war, Sharpe vs. Sharpe,
on Thursday night to determine who gets to represent Team USA. I'd pay
to see that.

As much as it pains me, PAINS me to correct you, I was the runner up at
Minnesota unfortunately, but it terms of another battle with my bro, I
wouldn't want to beat up on him too much, we still need each other for
our pinbrawl team now!

Zach

p.s. but if we really wanted to be technical in terms of who should
represent, how about the most recent PAPA champion? hmmmm...Josh
junior champion at PAPA 5, but wait a second! Zach junior champion at
PAPA 6! ;-)

Did not realize you were Swedish Lloyd.

I would have expected Olsson.

As I mentioned I work with about 50 Sweedes and I now that I know there is
an interest I'll invite them over for a freindly game.

P.S. If your ever in Raleigh NC please give me a shout and please drop by
yourself.

Regards
Bob

Pinball in Sweden is doing fairly good. Swedish championship
www.flippersm.se (only in Swedish, sorry) last year had 186 particiants
and Stockholm Open www.stockholmopen.nu had a bit over 100 participants
including a few americans like K-Mart & Chris Newsom. I guess in Europe
it's Sweden & Netherlands that competes about the best country and we
did win the European team championship 2005.

We also have a rather good pin-climate in Stockholm
http://stockholm.pinball.org/ with quite a few games available...

See ya all in a few days at PAPA

In Europe, there are two countries that stand out. They have a sharper
top and a broader ground than the rest. I don't think any other country
than these two could come up with a seven-player team without having
players in the team that don't really qualify. These two countries are
Sweden and Holland (even though Holland screwed up at EPC, and met
Sweden already in the semi final).

But, as much as I hate to admit it, I wouldn't bet my money on a
European victory.

But I will sure enjoy seeing Chris get EuroShatzed again!

And we thought 'Netherlands' that we are the only Active Pinball
Community in Europe. but it changed and that is nice, because the more
the merrier
Belgium is not so Active. although there is 1 player in Belgium which
is fairly good. and Germany is Active too. but a different Way, then
here in the Netherlands. This little country has so much of active
things. take for example the Dance Scene. do you guys ever heard of a
Dj Called Tiesto or Big Dance Festivals like Sensation? Tiesto is The
Best DJ in the World and Sensation is The world leading Dance Event.
but PAPA is The World Leading Pinball Event. and i'm happy that i be
there soon again

Peace out
