Qualifying will be open on six games in PAPA-style "Herb" format, with each player's top four scores contributing toward their final count, from 3 to 7pm. Finals will then be contested bracket-style between the top eight qualifying players.

A "newbie" best game side-tournament will also be held on one machine of Solid State's collection, which will only be open to non-IFPA-rated players. The top four players will compete head-to-head on that same machine.
