Tournament Overview


Tournament Date: January 21, 2023

*This is not an open event. INVITE ONLY*

The doors will open for practice at 11am. Tournament will begin at 12:00pm.

The format is as follows:
"Each match will be a best-of-seven. The higher seeded player will have choice of machine or position for the 1st game, with the loser of each subsequent game having choice of machine or order, until someone has won 4 games. A machine may not be played more than once in the same match unless there are less than 7 machines available. If that is the case, only after all machines have been chosen can either player select that game to be played for a second time within the same match. Once a player verbally announces their game choice, or chooses position, that decision will be locked in and cannot be changed.
Each player will have the opportunity for 30 seconds of practice time before starting every game of every match. This is to ensure that both players have a chance to get familiar with the machine.
The winner of the match advances to the next round, while the loser is eliminated."
We will have a great mix of games including EMs, Solid States, DMD, and LCD machines. The final game list will be provided on January 1st so that players will be able to practice in the weeks leading up to the tournament.

The night before the event all tournaments games will be on free play.
