Announcement about Balacs Pinball Party and IFPA8 World Pinball
Championships

The National Gaming Board of Sweden informed us this Tuesday that the
pinball tournaments Balacs Pinball Party and IFPA8 World Pinball
Championships are illegal according to Swedish law, and thus we need a
license to be able to run the tournaments. They also filed a report at
the local police about the tournaments, and that they would be
considered illegal if played without a license. We spent the Wednesday
to collect all the documents from different sources needed for the
application, and yesterday morning Stockholm Pinball (which is the
legal entity in Sweden that have the closest connection to the
tournaments) applied for this license. Normally the handling timeframe
is one month, but the gaming board gave our application the highest
priority and rapid treatment.

However, about two hours ago they informed us that they will not be
able to make the decision in time for this weekend (since they closed
about two hours ago). This means that we cannot run the Balacs Pinball
Party tournament this weekend without breaking the law. They also
requested additional information from us, and we are now working on
providing them with this information. They will continue to work on
our application Monday morning, and well before that we will have
given them the information requested. We still have hope that we can
save the IFPA8 tournament without having to postpone or cancel the
tournament.

The National Gaming Board of Sweden have also informed us that winning
prizes consisting of money or having a value of money at pinball
tournaments are not allowed by Swedish law. The IFPA World Pinball
Championships will thus not pay out any prizes. If the gaming board
will grant us a license, we will have to play for the honor and glory
alone. Information about the outcome of the application, and the
economical consequences for the participants, will be announced as
soon as we know how things will turn out.

Non on est pas le premier avril !

qu'est ce qu'ils ont les Suédois en ce moment
le gouvernement Suédois vient aussi d'interdire la commercialisation de la dernière version du jeu "dead or alive"le considérant comme pédopornographique.
moi qui les considérait comme ouvert d'esprit....
