Overall

Top 32 players at 30 November 2023 qualify for the Victorian Pinball Championship to be held in December.

Rankings - https://vppr.ajfclark.com/standings.php

Every monthly VIC tournament will be included in the rankings regardless of attendance. Every non monthly tournament will also be included as long as there are at least 16 participants.

Every Tournament that qualifies is an opportunity to earn VPPRs (Victorian Pinball Play Ranking points, Otherwise know as ????Vippers ????). Each winner will earn the maximum VPPRs for a tournament, with a sliding scale of points depending on position:

50 VPPRs – Standard tournament with 49 players or less
75 VPPRs – Tournament with 50~74 players
100 VPPRs – Tournament with 75+ players

Only the top 32 players will be invited to play and if you are unable to attend the finals you will forfeit your position and your place will NOT be given to the next person on the list. So if 12 people are unable to attend, that means the final will consist of 20 people.

Format = Swiss Fair Strikes
Fair Strikes means you play in groups (usually 4 players). If you come first you get 0 strikes, if you come last you get 2. If you come anywhere in the middle of that (2nd or 3rd, or just 2nd in a 3 player group) you get 1.
However this time the with the amount of starting strikes AVAILABLE you have depending on your finishing position on the VFPA rankings. 14 strikes and you are out.
Pairings will be SWISS, which means the top 4 will play each other, and everyone will be grouped depending on how many strikes they have left at every round.

Available strikes at the start of the tournament:

1st – 14
2nd – 13
3rd-4th – 12
5th-8th – 11
9th-12th – 10
13th-16th – 9
17th-24th – 8
25th-32nd – 7

Winner gets name engraved on a perpetual belt (As well as most VPPRs, and top Belle). The winner gets to keep the belt for a year (as long as they reside in VIC, the belt cannot cross borders). The belt has 4 spots, therefore the current belt will be used for 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024. The person who wins the most championships in this period will get to keep the belt. If there is a draw for the amount of wins, there will be a play off for the belt.

Entry is $10 which covers the costs of medals. Players who qualify will be contacted
