Tournament Overview


Tournament Date: January 28, 2024

First time running this format! Players will be put in 3 or 4-player groups on a random pinball machine. Whoever wins the game will receive 7 points, 2nd place will get 5 points, 3rd place will get 3 points, and 4th place will get 1 point. Rounds will continue to be generated until 8 players have reached the 25 point "target" threshold to make it to the final round. Top 8 (if this is less than half of the total) will compete in two three game MatchPlay rounds to determine the winner.

Entry fee is $9 + $1 IFPA FEE plus coin-drop.
