Split flipper division

The split flipper division is the team division of the Swedish Pinball Open. You team up with a partner, and then you control one flipper each. This is a very fun way of playing pinball, and some teams have developed advanced techniques and strategies only applicable to split flipper play. You can read more about the split flipper specific rules here. You can see a list of registered split flipper teams here, and if you'd like to participate in a team, find yourself a partner and register here.

Entrance fee

The entrance fee for each player in the split flipper division is 100 SEK (11 EUR, 12 USD, 8 GBP). The participation fee includes 3 entries (4 for foreign players), and during the qualifications another 9996 entries (9995 for foreign players) for 20 SEK (2.50 EUR, 2.50 USD, 2 GBP) per player can be bought. The additional entries will be sold on site. Note that the prices are per player (i.e. not per team). You can use this form to pay the entrance fee.

Voiding teams

It is possible to void an entire split flipper team, effectively also voiding any entries of the team, and then register a new team. This team will be considered an entirely new team, and new charges will apply. Each player can be a member of one active team ONLY. To form another team, the player's current team has to be voided first. To void a team, both players must inform the information desk about the decision. Certain circumstances (sickness, no-show, hangover) may in exceptional cases allow only one player to void a team. Voiding a team is final and can not be undone. However, the same players can form the same team again, the old entries played before the void will still be voided, and the team will have to pay a new entrance fee. In short, this is not a very bright idea.
