You must complete each entry before buying another entry. Each entry will be one game on each machine so a maximum of 9 games will be played in the qualifying round per player. A 30 second warm up period will be allowed on each machine per player, NOT per entry. If you come late you may not get 3 entries in.
The top 4 entries will advance to the finals.

Notes: No extra balls, extra balls should be turned off but any extra balls will be plunged.
There is a known bonus X bug on Meteor that while rare does occur. During qualifying the player will replay the game if the bug occurs. During finals the other 3 players will continue the game and the player whose score was effected by the bug will play an entire game afterwards.

No warm up, just go for it! The side tourney will run all day until 11 PM. The side tourney is open to all attending both the Main and the open house. Winner does not have to be present, I’ll get the money to you if you can’t stick around.
