Games in tournament to be revealed soon
The Pinhead Cup consists of open card-based qualifying and match play final rounds and is open to all players attending the event. During open qualifying, each player may purchase as many cards as they like to attempt to qualify for the final rounds. A point system is used to rank each player’s score on each machine. Those who possess the highest ranking card (5 consecutive games on one card) at the end of qualifying will participate in the match play final rounds.
In the final rounds, qualifying players play against each other in multiplayer games. A point system (3,2,1,0) is used to determine who advances to the next round and, ultimately, who wins the division.
Qualifying: Friday, November 10th (10am - 10pm) – Saturday, November 11th (1pm - 9pm)
Format: Unlimited card-based qualifying with 5 games per card.
Finals: Sunday, November 12th @ 9am B-side Start and 10:30AM A-Side Start. Top 50% qualify divisible by 4 to a maximum of 16 players. Pinburgh Scoring (3/2/1/0), 4 games per round. 8 players to Division B playoffs, no byes.
Entry Fees: Initial $10 Door Fee to cover IFPA, MPL and Host Costs and B-side pool. After that $5 for 1 Card (5 games) or $20 for 8 Cards (40 games total, 5 games per Card).
****$3 of every entry goes to the MPL to cover costs and IFPA fees. Also $5 of every package entry goes to the host as a “hosting fee” as a thank you for hosting. It takes a lot of work getting the games ready and a lot of wear and tear on games during events like these. It’s something that will be also used to hopefully entice other people to host events at their private locations in the future
The money from the Card Purchases will go 100% towards the prize pool.
$1 from every $5 card and $4 from every $20 card Purchased will go towards the B-side prize pool
