Greetings!

This is a report from the third European Pinball Championship held in Valkenburg, Netherlands. It is in no way an official page, it is more of a travellers diary from my point of view.

A BIG thank you is in order for Guus Arens, and the rest of the Dutch Pinball Association, for making this happen!

Pictures that have shadows are thumbnails, meaning you can click them for a bigger version.

Travelling to and from Valkenburg
Pictures and little stories, mainly from the boat (they had an SS on the way down and an AFM on the way back!)
Friday: warming up
We arrived in Valkenburg just about the same time the halls opened up for practise. An overview of what was to be found in the halls.
Saturday: the DPO starts
The Dutch Pinball Open, a huge tournament, starts. Team leaders from all countries have a meeting. Denmark and Sweden battle it out on X-Files.
Sunday: the EPC starts
We get to plunge our first tournament ball into play. Results and pictures. And not to be forgotten: the AFM lotery!
Christian's EPC page
Results from all three championships.
