All of the pinball machines are set for free play (no coin drops needed).
Play in as much or as little as you like.
Its a PARTY first, with a little pinball mixed in!
MAIN TOURNAMENT
Qualifying is "group matchplay style". This means you'll be playing in three or four player groups on multiple machines.
We will play as many rounds as we can in 4 hours (based on time the round starts).
Playoffs/Finals will LIKELY be Group Elimination/PAPA Style, which is similar to the above, but with lower performing players being eliminated as we go forward (until there's a winner).
If we don't have enough players (less than 32), then we will switch to the Amazing Race format.
THERE WILL BE PLAYOFFS FOR BOTH A AND B DIVISIONS SO ALL SKILL LEVELS CAN PLAY AND WIN!
The B Division is restricted as follows:
-- players in the top 1000 in the IFPA rankings are ineligible for B division
-- players who have placed in the TOP 3 in any of the 3 most recent DFW Pinball League events are ineligible for B division
-- THUS: many of the top players are excluded from the B Division so that ANYONE CAN WIN!
For the tournament, late entrants will be allowed until halfway through qualifying.
FOOD:
POTLUCK -> We might get pizza such, but bring main courses and appetizers please.
We'll have water and non-alcoholic beverages.
