QUALIFYING
Pricing -

Ranking -
Best 5 out of 9 games will be used for main division qualifying.
Best 5 out of 6 games will be used for classics division 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 5 qualifying scores being totaled up to determine a player’s positioning.
Top 24 players qualify for main and classics division playoffs, with the top 8 qualifiers getting a bye through the first round.
Players can check qualifying status at https://neverdrains.com/clepin2022
Schedule -
Qualifying will take place all day Thursday From 5 pm to Midnight, Friday 10 am to Midnight and Saturday 10 am to 7 pm Finals will begin Saturday at 8:00 pm.
Classics qualifying times are the same, although it ends at 2 pm on Saturday, with classics finals starting at 2:30 pm.
Cut off for starting games in main division is 7 PM on Saturday night.
Catastrophic malfunction cut off is Friday at 4 PM. If a game must be replaced after this cutoff then scores from the previous game still stand in the rankings.
Queuing -
The Cleveland Pinball Show will use a virtual queuing system available at https://neverdrains.com/clepin2022
Players may add themselves to queues through either their own device, or the designated queuing computer in the tournament area.
There will be a chair behind each game. If a player is next on a game then they are encouraged to sit in the game’s respective chair. When a game opens up the next player will be called, if they are 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 above the cut 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.
