Saturday 15th July:
*8.30am - 9.30am - Free Warm Up & Player registration (event players only).
*10am - Tournament briefing and start of Round 1.
All qualifying rounds (as many as needed), will be played on the one day.

Sunday 16th July:
*9am - Round One of Finals will commence.

Qualifying:
*Players will play in single game rounds of Group Matchplay, with groups, play order and machines to be determined using the Matchplay.events software.
*PAPA scoring will be used (4-2-1-0).
*Once a player reaches the target score of 70 points, no more rounds will be played. The Top 40 players will advance to the Main Division Finals. The next 16 players in qualifying order will be invited to play in the B Division finals, also to be played on Sunday morning.

Ties for any placings in the Top 40, or next 16 placings may be broken automatically by the Matchplay software, or by a single game playoff on a random machine if needed. Any tie-breakers will be played on the Saturday night, immediately following the completion of qualifying. Anyone not available for their tie-breaker game will be deemed to forfeit the match.

Finals:
*Top 40 players will be sorted into groups of 4 players under the Slaughter option on Matchplay. The Top 4 players will receive a double bye for the first two rounds, while seeds 5th-16th will receive a single bye in the first round. PAPA point scoring will continue during finals.
*Each group will play 3 games. The Top seed in each group will get to pick the machine for Games 1 and 3 in the round, while the 2nd Top seed will get to choose the machine for Game 2 of the round. Players are to make their selections based on machines that are available at the time of choosing, and machines cannot be played more than once in the same round.
*Players will select play order, with the highest seed of the group getting first choice at play order. The 2nd highest will get the next choice and so on, until everyone has chosen. Subsequent games will be played in a rotating order.
*Top 2 players in each group advance to the next round, with the other 2 players in each group being eliminated.
*Ties for any of the Top 2 positions in any group will again be broken by a single game playoff on a random machine.
*The player with the most number of points after the final round is completed will be declared the winner.
