3. Single tournament rules

The event will have three different tournaments. The Main Tournament, which will take place on the 17h,18th and 19th of October, will be played on 5 different machines. It will be possible to qualify for the finals all day on the 17th, starting at 11am, and in the morning of the 19th until 1.30 p.m., when the qualifications will be closed and the finals will start. The number of the participants for the RPT is not yet defined and it will be available only the day of the competition. The number of pinball used in the tournament as we said will be 5.
There will be a two "side tournaments" on the 17th and 18 of October, tournaments that will be played in a single pinball machine (See the 'RPT Sides Tournaments' page on Ifpa Calendar for detail).

During the qualification round, every player will always play a single match game. At the end of every game, the player need to call the attention of a tournament official in order to register the score obtained.

Scoring system and final standings:

The tournament is played as a single group. All the registered players will challenge each other on the 5 pinballs. A final standing will be created for every machine based on the scores obtained by all players. The rank of the player’s result on each machine awards the following amount of points:

The sum of the points obtained in each machine will determine the final standing of the RPT qualifying round. The top 8 players will qualify for the finals and will be placed in a single elimination bracket based on the final seedings after the qualifying round. Each match will be a race to 2 wins in a single pinball. Here the higher seeded player will pick the order for the first and the eventual third game, while the opponent will pick teh order of the second game.
The braket will be composed as follow, where the pinball played will be assigned in advance by the organizer:




The position from fifth to eighth will be assigned by one single four-way game on Avatar between the four players who lost in the quarter-finals. The position will be defined by the rank in the qualifying round, with the higher seeded player going last and so on.
The final for the third and fourth place will be also played on Avatar, on a single game. The position will be determined by the higher seeded player after the qualifying round.
