The Pinball Tournament Details and Rules:
QUALIFYING
Pricing - $1 per ticket, $5 for 6 tickets, 1 ticket is used per game. Plus coin-op.
Ranking - Best 4 out of 8 games will be used for 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 4 qualifying scores being totaled up to determine a player’s positioning. Top 24 players qualify for playoffs, with the top 8 qualifiers getting a bye through the first round.
Schedule - Qualifying will take place from 1pm pm to 6pm
Queuing - 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 - Finals begin at 7 PM. 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).
Game Selection - At the start of each round, the group that contains the highest-seeded player gets first choice of machine or 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.
All other rules and procedures for anything gameplay related are based on PAPA rules (ex. malfunctions, interference, stuck balls, etc.)
