Swedish Open Match Championship Aug, 28th

[AP]

Ok, it´s time for another player event at Orresta. Preliminary date is 28th Aug but if Hollywood and Beaver travels we may change slightly to accommodate them as they are interested.

Entry fee is 1000SEK where 750SEK goes back to prizemoney. If Senior enters, the fee is 700 SEK where 500SEK goes back to prizefund. It will be same format as usual, best of 3 sets, 6 balls each set. If the interest is greater than we expect we may have to change to 3 sets and 4 balls but thats a big IF. 2 Ranking rounds will start 10.30 sunday morning. We have a few Pinnacles left but new guys bring 24 new balls and the rest bring a dozen in reserve if needed.

PM, mail or post on here to register. If I forgot anything don´t hesitate to point it out. If anyone outside Sweden wishes to come, contact me and I´ll sort something out to cut cost while you are here.

Whatever happened to the machine you invented??

[MG]

I´ll be there!!!!!!!

[Kung Fu Panda]

I am the machine but it doesn't work in competition, need to know why...

[The_Power]

I just made a post about an event you won in Amsterdam, in fact you have a load of victories all across Europe, all you need to do in competition is take the positives from those accomplishments and block out any negative thoughts    

[MartijnBruins]

I'm getting quite jealous of Sweden now with all those longdrive grids....

I am looking hard for a grid around Amsterdam to organize an event.
2 things though;
-Finding a piece of land here 500x150 meters without houses on it is like finding a threesome with Kate Upton and Adriana Lima.
-The place in Amsterdam where the event was in 2008 is possible, i spoke to the local government about it, but now they want 20.000 euro's!!! for usage of it..  pfffff   

[ceejay]

cmon must b more people interested in this...

[KH]

I'll try to be there.

So, it´s possible after all

We are 10 guys competing at the moment, Jimmy had to drop out due to injury unfortunately. Come on you Swedes, if all comes we have 7500SEK to compete for at the moment. Not much but it´s a start.
