Tournament Overview
Tournament Date: March 04, 2025
Players of all skill levels are EXTREMELY welcome! $5 entry, $4 to prize pool, $1 to IFPA fees. Prize raffles! Event info can be found by going to next.matchplay.events on your phone and searching Enterrium during the tourney. Four rounds of balanced matchplay on 25-30 pins at Enterrium for qualifying. 7/5/3/1 scoring. Top 16 players qualify for playoffs as long as there are at least 32 players, otherwise top 8. Anyone tied at the 16th place cut line will play a single ball tiebreaker on a random classic pin. All other ties will be broken automatically in matchplay. Playoffs consist of groups of 4 playing a single randomly chosen game, top 2 in each game advance until only 4 players remain. Those 4 players will play a single 4 player game to determine final finishing positions. High seed in each group gets to go last. There is no game selection in any rounds of playoffs due to time constraints at the location.
Payouts for top 8:
5th-8th: $10
4th: 10% of prize pot
3rd: 20% of prize pot and a $10 Enterrium game card
2nd: 30% of prize pot and a $20 Enterrium game card
1st: 40% of prize pot and a $30 Enterrium game card
