***NO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES ALLOWED AT THE TOURNEY***

TICKETS ON SALE WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 18th AT NOON CST

Oh no, did you forget to pick up "Qualify for Illinois State Finals" during your holiday shopping? I've got you covered.....maybe.

My annual hosted tourney returns, with a better name. A bigger name. A badder name. A bigfoot....er name. Last year was 192% TGP. Welcome.....to Bagwell's Big Bad Bigfoot Battle at Bagfoot's Bluff.

Last year the winner of this got 25 WPPRs. Two players missed the cut line for IL state finals last year both by 5 WPPRs. This event is very likely going to get someone over the cut line for state finals.

Warmup at 930am CST

Tourney starts at 10am CST


Code of conduct for my events here:

http://sundaybest.kittensandwich.com/Chicagoland-Code-of-Conduct/

TLDR for the code of conduct is don't be a jerk! Harassment or bigotry of any kind will not be tolerated. The silver ball doesn't discriminate, neither should you. Also beyond that this is our home you are being allowed into, so be chill, any extreme outbursts from players may result in a yellow card.


Format:

Qualifying will be at least 9 rounds of balanced matchplay, or however many we can fit in before 5pm. No more new qualifying rounds will be started after 5pm CST unless 9 rounds haven't been played yet. After that top 12 will qualify for playoffs. Playoffs will be four game banks, high seed in each group chooses bank. You may not select a bank more than once in playoffs, and you may not queue up for a bank. You may defer bank choice to the next highest seed if you wish. Top 4 will get a bye through the first round. Player order on entire bank will be based on inverted seeds, so highest seed will go last on each game for example.

Pizza party around 1-2pm, 30 minute break to eat. Snacks/ non alcoholic drinks will also be available all day. No alcholic beverages allowed at the tourney.

Game setups will not be friendly, for once the goal here is to pack in the TGP more than anything else. Ball saves off, extra balls off (if you get an extra ball just plunge it), post rubbers off, comp/hard installs. Generally standard pitch, standard tilt bobs. Outlane posts default.


Location:

I will share the address privately with those that buy a ticket, I'm in the northwest suburbs of Chicago.


Registration:

Buy a ticket on here to secure a spot, join the waitlist if it's sold out. If a spot frees up you'll receive an email with a link to buy a ticket, you'll have 24 hours to claim it before it goes to the next person on the waitlist.
