Tournament Overview
Tournament Date: March 21, 2026
Dungeons & Dragons Launch Party! DnD will be in every round and will be used in the playoffs as much as possible. Final game of tourney guaranteed to be on DnD.
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 24 players qualify for playoffs as long as there are at least 48 players, otherwise top 16. Anyone tied at the 8th or 24th 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 random 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: 15% 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: 35% of prize pot and a $30 Enterrium game card
Format and arena list are subject to change at TD discretion. TD rulings and format decisions are final. Arguing rulings/formats with event TDs may result in a yellow card.
