Tournament Overview
Tournament Date: February 13, 2016
The top 16 players with the highest IFPA WPPR points will play to compete for the title of provincial champion.
III. Format of Matches
1. Seeding of finalists
Once all participants are finalized, the 16 players will be seeded based on their province rankings position at the end of the calendar year. In the event that any players are tied with the same amount of In-State WPPR points, we will look at the overall WPPR rank of those players as of the end of that calendar year
2. Machines Chosen
Wrestlemania LE, Metallica, Star Trek, The Walking Dead, KISS, Game of Thrones
3. Head-to-Head Single Elimination Format
Players will be placed in a single elimination bracket once the seedings have been completed.
First round pairings are as follows:
1 vs. 16, 2 vs. 15, 3 vs. 14, 4 vs. 13,
5 vs. 12, 6 vs. 11, 7 vs. 10, 8 vs. 9
Second round pairings are as follows:
1/16 winner vs. 8/9 winner, 2/15 winner vs. 7/10 winner,
3/14 winner vs. 6/11 winner, 4/13 winner vs. 5/12 winner
Third round pairings are as follows:
1/8/9/16 winner vs. 4/5/12/13 winner,
2/7/10/15 winner vs. 3/6/11/14 winner
Fourth round pairing are as follows:
Two winners of round 3 play for the Alberta Championship
Two losers of round 3 player in the Consolation Final for 3rd/4th place.
Each match will be a best-of-seven. The higher seeded player will have choice of machine or position for the 1st game, with the loser of each subsequent game having choice of machine or order, until someone has won 4 games. A machine may not be played more than once in the same match unless there are less than 7 machines available. If that is the case, only after all machines have been chosen can either player select that game to be played for a second time within the same match. Once a player verbally announces their game choice, or chooses position, that decision will be locked in and cannot be changed.
Each player will have the opportunity for 30 seconds of practice time before starting every game of every match. This is to ensure that both players have a chance to get familiar with the machine.
The winner of the match advances to the next round, while the loser is eliminated.
The 3rd/4th place Consolation Final will be played as a best-of-three instead of a best-of-seven like all other rounds, using the same rules. All other finishing positions will also be played out in best-of-three matches to also determine 5th through 16th place.
4. Winners
First Place will also receive the title “Alberta Provincial Pinball Champion”.
This title remains in effect until the next annual Alberta Provincial Pinball Championship Series, or will expire after two years if the Alberta Provincial Pinball Championship Series is discontinued.
5. Prizing
The 1st, 2nd and 3rd place will receive trophies and the grand prize winner will receive free airfare (up to $500) and free entry to the IFPA State Championships in Las Vegas.
