Play More Pinball!
I have comfortably scheduled 4 tournaments in 4 days. 2 IFPA Certified Events and 2 Knockouts. One of the knockouts overlaps with IFPA certified classics finals on Friday.
Everyone makes finals on Sunday in either A/B or C division with no restrictions based on IFPA rank.
You also get to play as much pinball as you want at practice times and in-between rounds, as all the games are on free play the whole weekend.
Thursday afternoon-evening Certified Classics Qualify (10 Rounds 2 Games per round) with finals Friday Morning
Friday Morning also has a 3 strike knockout at the same time as the Finals for Certified Classics
Friday Night we play the 1st half (5 Rounds) of the qualifying for the Certified Main Event
Saturday Morning-Afternoon we complete the 2nd half (5 more Rounds) of qualifying for main event. (10 Round 2 Game Banks with 1 modern & 1 classic game per round in total)
Saturday Night has an 8 Strike Fair Strike Knockout (All Games)

This Knockout Tournament is an 8 Strike, Fair Strikes Format Tournament played in groups of 4 (3 when necessary).

Each round will alternate the era of game played on. Odd Rounds will be LCD/DMD games Even Rounds will be Classics/EM games. The matchplay software will pick the games played and match the players up in groups.

Once a player has 8 strikes they are out of this tournament
If you go out with 9 strikes and someone goes out in the same round with 8 strikes, the 8 strike person will be placed ahead (not a tie) of the 9 strike person in the overall results.
The tournament continues until there is one player remaining.
If needed - Ties between 2nd-8th position will be broken with a 1 game tie breaker for the affected players to determine the trophy and/or cash received. The randomly selected tiebreaker game will be either a classic or modern based on what the next game in the tournament would have been. When reporting this to IFPA for points those ties will be reported as ties. No playoffs or finals.
