6. Simon is not obliged to tell players which machines will be used prior to the tournament day.
7. Players will be grouped in fours and if necessary groups of threes. There will be four separate rounds of three matches. This means every player will play twelve matches in total.
8. In each round each group will play a single game on three different machines and allocated points according to their finishing position; 7/5/3/1 for four player groups and 7/4/1 for three players groups. This is the IFPA system of scoring.
9. For the first round, grouping will be based on IFPA rankings.
10. After the first round groupings will be balanced.
11. At the close of the fourth round, the player with the highest points score will be declared the tournament winner.
12. Ties will be broken by the number of first place finishes, then by the number of second place finishes, and finally, if necessary, a single game play-off.
13. Entry fee: $25.
14. On the night players should have their IFPA # ready, to save time. Just Google IFPA and your name to get your # if you have one.
15. For players who want more practice, they can attend the Friday lock-ins at Amusement Worx. Check dates on the Amusement Worx Facebook page.

PLEASE NOTE: This group matchplay tournament has been registered with the usual 4 rounds of 3 matches. For this tournament there will be a cut-off time for starting the fourth round. If the third round is still in progress at 10.00, the fourth round will not be played and the tournament will end after the third round. The machines will then be on free-play until 10.30. This will be implemented to keep the evening from running too late.
