This tournament does not count for overall super series points but does count for IFPA points.

This Knockout Tournament is a 3 Strike Tournament played in groups of 4 (3 when necessary).
Random Seeding to start, then Swiss Style. Games drawn randomly.
Groups of 4 will play against each other on a single machine
The 2 players with the lowest scores in a group will receive a strike (3rd, 4th Place in the match)
3 player matches (as needed) only lowest score (3rd Place) will receive a strike.
Once a player has 3 strikes they are out of this tournament but are welcome to stay and play games as long as players are still in the tournament.
The tournament continues until there is one player remaining and they are declared the winner. No playoffs or finals. A tie for 2nd-8th place will result in a 1 Game Playoff. These tiebreakers are to determine whom gets the prizes only. Game will be randomly selected and the game itself will be either classic or modern based on what the next game choice would be been. All ties will be reported to IFPA as a tie.
