Tournament Overview


Start Date: September 07, 2017
End Date: September 10, 2017

Herb-Style Tournament.
PAPA Circuit Event
IFPA approved. Tournament is open to the public with paid admission.
The event will feature a main tournament as well as a separate classics tournament. Tournament tickets are usable in either the classics or main tournament.

Pricing -
$10 for 4 Tickets or $20 for 9 Tickets , 1 ticket is used per game.
Tickets must be bought at the front desk, not the tournament area.
Main and classics use the same tickets.
Tournament ticket sales cut off at 6 PM Saturday
No refunds
Ranking -
Best 5 out of 9 games will be used for main division qualifying.
Best 4 out of 5 games will be used for classics division qualifying.
Each game score is translated to a qualifying score based on rank (1st 100, 2nd 90, 3rd 85, 84, 83, 82…), with the top 5 qualifying scores being totaled up to determine a player’s positioning.
Top 24 players qualify for main division playoffs, with the top 8 qualifiers getting a bye through the first round.
Players can check qualifying status at http://neverdrains.com/clepin2017
Schedule -
Qualifying will take place all day Thursday From 5 pm to Midnight, Friday 10 am to Midnight and Saturday 9 am to 7 pm Finals will begin Saturday at 8:00 pm.
Classics qualifying times are the same, although it ends at 2 pm on Saturday, with classics finals starting at 2:30 pm.
Cut off for starting games in main division is 7 PM on Saturday night.
Catastrophic malfunction cut off is Friday at 4 PM. If a game must be replaced after this cutoff then scores from the previous game still stand in the rankings.
Queuing -
The Cleveland Pinball Show will use a virtual queuing system available at http://neverdrains.com/clepin2017
Players may add themselves to queues through either their own device, or the designated queuing computer in the tournament area.
There will be a chair behind each game. If a player is next on a game then he or she should be sitting in the game’s respective chair. When a game opens up the next player will be called, if he or she is not present then the individual is removed from the queue and the next player is called.
The tournament must keep moving, and score keepers will not wait for a player who is in the queue but isn’t present.
Ties -
Significant ties (either to make it into finals or to receive a bye) will be played off on a randomly selected game, with the winner of that game being the winner of the tie breaker.
Ties for other positions in main division will be determined by whichever player has the higher ranking on their highest qualifying game. (ex. One player in the tie’s best game rank was the second highest score on a game, and the other player’s best game was a 6th place score. The first player wins the tiebreaker).
If both players in the tie breaker have the same highest game rank, then it will defer down to their second highest game rank. If that is tied it will defer down again, etc.
In the extremely rare case that both players have the exact same rankings across all their qualifying games, the tie will be broken by a coin flip.
FINALS
General information -
Round 1 of the Main Division finals begins at 8 PM on Saturday.
Round 2 of the Main Division finals begins at 9 AM on Sunday.
Classics finals begin at 2:30 PM on Saturday.
Finals are played in 4-player “PAPA Style groups”.
Four player games are scored with 1st earning 4 points, 2nd earning 2 points, 3rd earning 1 point, and 4th receiving 0 points.
Three-player games will be scored as if a nonexistent fourth player received the 4th place finish (i.e., 1st earns 4 points, 2nd earns 2, and last earns 1).
A division bracket can be found online at: http://challonge.com/clepin2017
Classics division bracket can be found online at http://challonge.com/clepin2017classics
Game Selection -
At the start of each round, the group that contains the highest-seeded player gets first choice of machine and order of play, with groups of descending seeding to follow. This process repeats two more times. During each cycle of selection, no two groups in the same division may pick a game that has already been selected.
In the case that a player chooses to pick position instead of game, the choice of game is then deferred to the next lower seed in the group.
One group can not play the same game multiple times in one match.
Final Standings -
IFPA standings for people who were eliminated in the same round as each other will be determined by the players scores in the respective round.
Ties in final round scores will be broken by player’s initial seedings.
Prize Pool -
Prize pool is based on tournament entries, with a guaranteed minimum of $1500+ in cash prizes for the main tournament, and $750+ in cash prizes for the classics tournament
All other rules and procedures for anything gameplay related are based on PAPA rules (ex. malfunctions, interference, stuck balls, etc.)
