The format is 9 strike group knockout. Players are paired against each other in groups of four. In that group, 1st place gets no strikes.. 2nd place gets 1 strike, 3rd place gets 2 strikes, 4th place gets 3 strikes. Once a player gets 9 strikes, that player is eliminated. Last person standing is the winner.
$200 in gift cards added to the pot from the bar.
I have some really cool trophies for this year
100% payback to the top 6 players. WPPR points and cash.
All WPPR fees will be paid by The 1up and not taken from the pot.
This will be an all ages tournament but if you under 21, or bringing someone under 21, let me know in advance.
