Hi guys!
Stockholm Open is now over, and the EPC train is speeding up. Hopefully we can have the web site up and running within a week or two.
There is no cap on the number of participants, so you don't have to worry about not getting in. The exact participation fee has not been decided yet, but it will be a couple of hundred SEK (9 SEK = €1).
Our new electronic scorekeeping system turned out to be a great success - cutting the staff needs into less than half! It will make it much easier for us to be able to keep our schedule without delays due to staff shortage.
Planned dates and times are still static - Friday Sept 13 18.00 to Sunday Sept 15 18.00 - and we will squeeze everything inside of those borders. But again - don't book your flight home at 19.30 on Sunday - you never know if you end up playing a grandious final including hour-long games, screwing our schedule up! And you need to allocate time to get your trophies.
There will be a main division, a Classics division and a team division. We have not yet decided whether the team division will be purely national teams, or if we will allow multiple teams per country and cross-country teams (it's dependent on time and scheduling). There will also be a few small side tournaments and a bunch of training/entertainment machines.
The premises turned out to be just as great as we thought they would be. They have all the facilities we need - both regarding the infrastructure to run the tournament, and regarding things to do for players not playing at the moment. The only downside is that it's not located in central Stockholm, but compared to some previous tournaments it's very downtown. You can get to central Stockholm in 20 minutes.
The system is being ironed out right now, and will be built upon the system used in the Swedish Championships. We don't have it described in English yet, but if you're interested you can machine-translate http://www.flippersm.se/?s=system from Swedish. We might change some things though, and the final system will be described (in English) at the launch of the EPC web site.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
