Tournament Overview


Tournament Date: April 15, 2017

Maximum competition entries will be limited to 64 (if less than the maximum number is reached the numbers below may be modified to suit the actual entries)

• “Best of 3” will be calculated on a win/lose basis, with the first player to win 2 games being declared the winner, at which point the round ends for that pair.

• “Mini league” results will be calculated on a Points basis (1st place 9 pts, 2nd 5 pts, 3rd 2 pts, 4th 0 pts)

Round 1: 64 players Players compete in pairs in a “best of 3” match on up to 3 different randomly chosen machines. No-one goes out of the tournament in this round. Winners in this round join Group A, Losers join Group B

Round 2: 64 Players Group A and Group B are each divided into sets of 4 players and play a “mini league” match on 5 randomly chosen different machines. In each Group A set: Top placed player gets a bye to Round 4, Second placed player progresses to round 3, Bottom two placed players drop out. In each Group B set: Top two placed players progress to Round 3, Bottom two placed players drop out

Round 3: 24 Players Players are divided into sets of 4 players and play a “mini league” match on 3 randomly chosen different machines. Any player scoring two zeroes (ie two last places) immediately drops out Top placed player in each set progresses to Round 4 Other remaining players drop out

Round 4: 14 Players Players are divided into pairs and play a “mini-league” match on 3 randomly chosen different machines. Winner in each pair progresses to Round 5, loser drops out except the best performing loser also progresses to Round 5. Best performing loser will be taking the overall losing players actual score as a percentage of the overall winning players score on each of the machines separately and then taking the average.

Round 5: 8 Players Players are divided into pairs and play a “mini league” match on 3 randomly chosen different machines. Winners of each pair progress to The Final, losers drop out

The Final: 4 Players Players play finals as a foursome mini - league. Each player chooses one machine to play and a further machine is drawn at random
