Tournament Overview


Tournament Date: December 03, 2023

Gauntlet runs start at 10 am. Pay at the Gauntlet entrance in cash only. $10 per run. There are 6 games in the Gauntlet. Each game will have a posted goal on them. These goals will be posted on the games all weekend at the show so practice early! This is a time trial type event. When you start, you have 6 mins to complete all 6 tasks.

If you complete the 6 tasks in under 6 mins, we will take down your time and rank it against the other players. If you fail to complete all 6 tasks, we will use the number of tasks you did complete for the standings.

Before you can run the gauntlet a second time, there must be no one waiting to play their first attempt. We want to get a chance to as many unique players as possible.

If you are in the top 8 of times recorded by 2pm, you will make finals. First round of finals will have each player run the gauntlet again in 2 groups of 4. Top 2 from each group advance and make the FINAL ROUND of the Gauntlet. Then those players will run the Gauntlet one last time. Fastest time will win the event. Players with the fastest times from the previous round will go last in the following rounds. Tie breakers will performed via a one game goal time trial sudden death for finals and to make the finals.

Payouts will be to the top 4 players. After a 20% show fee, IFPA fees, and trophy expenses, the payouts will be as follows:

SUNDAY RUNNING OF THE GAUNTLET PAYOUT
1st - 50% and trophy
2nd - 25% and plaque
3rd - 15% and plaque
4th - 10% and plaque
