Classic Take 2!

Replay Bar

Group Match Play Single Elimination

We were back at Replay Bar for Classic Take 2!, giving our matchplay + single-elimination format another run after we had to change the format away from it a few events ago. A strong turnout (with a few new faces in the mix!) meant plenty of tight qualifying rounds before we headed into finals, with machines playing so well we even had to bump up the difficulty to keep things moving.

1st — Patrick Hewitt 2nd — Tom Fonda 3rd — Kaleb Southwell 4th — Joshua Hesketh

After 7/5/3/1 matchplay qualifying and 3-strike finals, Tom Fonda (A Division) and Lily McShane (B Division) took out the wins 🥇 with strong fields across both divisions.

Group Match Play

🕹️ A huge night at Replay Bar with a packed turnout and plenty of action on the machines!

After a few format tweaks to fit everyone in, the night delivered great competition and vibes all around — with Jamie Axelsen taking out his first IFPA win after a year of rapid improvement 👏

Big thanks to all players (especially our first-timers), our helpers on the night, and Replay Bar for hosting. Keen to see everyone back again soon! 🔥
