Will there be an EPC 2013?
If so, is it decided where and when?
I suppose the country directors are having discussions about this
already?

And for what it´s worth, I agree with Josh on all points in the other
thread (that non-europeans definitely should be allowed to
participate)

dear guys,
we are also waiting for an update about Epc 2013.
But I take this opportunity to confirm the EPC2014 in Italy. And I announce the official location and date: Rimini (into the exhibitions center) in March.
 
we post an official press release during next week
bye,
alessio

 As far as I know, there has only been one very short and inconclusive thread on IFPA country directors' forum last year about EPC 2013.

After Hungary announced not being able to arrange EPC 2013, I think INK has been the only one to say anything about being able to arrange the competition this year.

So I really don't know, but time is running and something should be decided. At this point we should anyway forget to try to arrange the competition in a
country that hasn't already arranged EPC, since none of these countries have stepped up with any plans to organize the event.

I'm still waiting for PAL and the guys in Stockholm. They wanted a shot at this (with me as a backup). But time is running a bit low so I really hope they are up to something nice up there. :-)

Please say it's not the last weekend of March 2014? Pinburgh 2014 dates have just been announced (March 28-30, 2014) and it would be beyond f*cked up to repeat what happened in 2011 when EPC and Pinburgh were held during the same weekend.

So what I'm reading is that it's safe to say that Sweden will be able to (and will) host EPC 2013?

This is great news and which ever the hosting city will be, I'm sure that you will be able to provide a great tournament.

I'm very glad the Swedes are organizing the EPC this year! when can we
expect some more informations beside the date and location? I was
reading some threads in the swedish forums, but it's not so easy to
understand...

regards, Michael

Hi!

FYI: The EPC will be held at Heron City outside of Stockholm on the weekend of Sept 15, probably Friday to Sunday. We are working on the web site, and registration is planned to be available in a couple of weeks. Stay tuned!

And hey - I think Swedish is super easy to understand! :)

Hi!

We are currently working on the web site, and we will of course let you know when it is open for registrations. The date and te premises are already determined though, it will be at O'Learys in Heron City close to Stockholm on September 14-16, so you can already start your planning.

The Stockholm Open will be held at the same premises, so some information on http://www.stockholmopen.nu/ is also valid for the EPC.

Edit: Make that September 13-15 (Friday to Sunday).

Stockholm Open is held on June 14-16 and EPC on September 13-15… keeps confusing the hell out of me…

Is this location and these dates 100%-absolutely-book-a-non-refundable-hotel-and-flights-now-guaranteed confirmed, Patrik? :-)

Cheers,

Hi Martin!

Sorry for late response - I need to put a better sorting rule in place for the europinball emails…

Yes - location and dates are final and 100%-absolutely-book-a-non-refundable-hotel-and-flights-now-guaranteed confirmed. 

Exact timing schedule will follow, but my intention is something like Friday 18:00 to Sunday 18:00 - but please don't book a 100%-absolutely-book-a-non-refundable-hotel-and-flights-now-guaranteed confirmed flight at Sunday 19:30 just yet, at least not if you intend to win the tournament. :)

We are currently building the web site that will be at http://www.europinball.org/ and the Facebook page is up and running at https://www.facebook.com/pages/EPC/496965727027872 with the event at https://www.facebook.com/events/389467794486568/

Thanks Patrik.

Hotel booked and I'll wait for the schedule before booking flights.

Cheers,

We finally finished the web site! https://www.europinball.org/registration/

No changes have been made to any of the rules or schedules, so everything else stays as earlier communicated (and as stated on the web site).

Thanks, Patrik!
 
One question: I can't figure out how to choose a qualification time slot.
When I go to that page I get this message:

I believe we just fixed that, so please try again.

All country directors: Please email me and let me know who will be members of the national team.
