Qualifying will consist of single-player games. Each player will be allowed 15 qualifying attempts. Players may spread their 15 games across their choice of machines, with the stipulation that they may not play any individual machine more than twice. 100-97-95-94... scoring system. All 15 scores will count.

Qualifying will be open from 12:00pm to 9:00pm. Players are encouraged to get their games in as early as possible to avoid any late rush.

20 players (or 50% of the field, whichever is lesser) will advance to the finals, commencing at 9:15pm. The finals will use a head-to-head strikes format, on randomly assigned machines. Players will receive a different number of lives depending on their qualifying position: 1st-2nd: 5 lives; 3rd-6th: 4 lives; 7th-12th: 3 lives; 13th-20th: 2 lives. If there is a tie for any meaningful qualifying position (i.e. 2nd, 6th, 12th, or 20th), a tiebreaker game will be played. Any qualifiers who are unavailable for the finals will not be replaced.

Players eliminated in the same round of the finals will be split firstly by fewest byes received, then by qualifying position.
