Tournament format

Group match play – Players will be divided into groups of 4. Each group will play one rouhd on a given machine. At the end of each round, new group/machien pairings will be made. No eliminations–everyone gets to play for the whole tournament.

Scoring

Ranking per machine/round will be by total points on the machine your gruop is playing, 1st through 4th place. Each player will receive points based on their finishing place on that machine:

1st place – 4 points
2nd place – 3 points
3rd place – 2 points
4th place – 1 point

At the end of 12 rounds, the player with the most points will be the tournament winner. In the event of a tie, head-to-head tiebreaker games will be assigned on machines selected at random.

Rules

Players must play in the order assigned. Playing out of turn may result in disqualification.
Extra balls – You may plunge an extra ball to gain skill shot points and end-of-ball bonus. No flipping is allowed on extra balls.
Specials have no value.
No bang-backs, death saves, or any abuse of the equipment is allowed.
A tilt is a tilt, no matter the reason. If you have a stuck ball or other mechanical issue, contact the tournament director. If you elect to clear the issue yourself and you tilt, that’s on you.
Please use good sportsmanship. No distractions, coaching, or interference with players while they are at the table.
If the machine you are scheduled to play is in use, wait for the player to finish their game. There is no need to ask anyone to step away from a current game.

IFPA/WPPR Status

This tournament is not a sanctioned IFPA event. No points will be awarded and your finishing position will have no effect on any standings in any pinball league.
