Overall

Maximum competitors is 36, minimum 20.
Registration: Players must pre-pay and pre-register on or before 1/6/15 (see website for details).
Start Time: 12pm to 10pm.
12pm: Warm up; 1pm: Shot gun start front 9 holes; 5pm: Shot gun start back 9.
Quick Overview: Players play through 2 rounds of Pin-Golf made up of 9 Pin-Holes. The Pin-Strokes earned over those 2 rounds will determine a winner. Any ties will be decided by sudden death play-off holes. There will be no finals or final round, only sudden death play-off holes to decide tied players.
Format Details:
1. Qualifying Rounds:
Players will complete 2 rounds of 9 Pin-Holes. (Front 9 + back 9).
Each Pin-Hole will consist of a pinball machine with a target score or achievement.
The number of balls it takes for the player to reach that target/achievement score will represent the number of Pin-Strokes earned for that hole. (1st ball = Hole in 1, 2nd ball = 2, 3rd ball = 3, etc).
Should a player not reach the target score within the allotted balls (par), then the par +1 pin stroke will be awarded for that hole. (3balls = 4 strokes, 5 balls = 6 strokes).
2. Machines Chosen: Tournament games will consist of 9 games.
The machines will be on site at Newcastle Supa Putt from Friday the 12th, so participants have time to get familiar with games and develop a strategy beforehand.
A list will be put together closer to the event.
3. Order of Play: Play will begin in a shot gun style format in order of the draw. Players will be put into groups of 2.
For all subsequent holes the competitor with the lowest score at the previous Pin-Hole takes the honour of going first at the next Pin-Hole.
If competitors have the same score following a Pin-Hole, then they play the next Pin-Hole in the same order as at the previous Pin-Hole.
For the start of round 2, the competitor with the lowest score will have honours of going first to start the round.
4. Extra Balls: All attempts will be made for extra balls to be disabled for all machines.
Should a player earn an extra ball, they will play it as part of the same Pin-Stroke on that particular Pin-Hole.
Rulings and Malfunctions: All rulings and malfunctions will be based on the rules for the IFPA World Pinball Championship.
Prize Money: Entry money will go toward the major cash prizes + trophies that will be awarded to the top 5 players.

Food and Drinks: $10 for Pizza (pay on the night).
