This Tilt Studio League series will be 8 weeks. The first 7 weeks will be qualifying group match play, 4 rounds each week with the lowest 2 weeks (or misses) dropped.

Top 8 after qualifying will play Division A finals on the 8th week. Ties for making Division A finals will be broken by a 1-game tiebreaker. All other qualifiers will compete for trophies in Divisions B, C, etc. based on qualifying standings and number of players.

Top 8 finals will be 2 rounds with 2 games per round.
First round groups are seeds 1-4-5-8 and 2-3-6-7. Top 2 players advance from each group.
Second round will be the final 4 players to determine 1st through 4th.
The 4 eliminated players from Round 1 will play a consolation round to determine 5th through 8th.


IFPA results for the top 8 will be based on the Week 8 finals, and everyone else's IFPA results position will be based on the qualifying standings after week 7. Divisions B, C, etc. finals on week 8 will be for trophies and prizes only.

League members pay an $8 league fee to cover the IFPA fee and cost of trophies. To be eligible to compete in the week 8 finals, players must pay the $8 league fee and play at least 4 of the qualifying weeks. Guests may play individual weeks, but must pay $1 each week they play.

The 7 qualifying days will be:
