Lynn’s Seaburgh is an IFPA certified and official Pinburgh Satellite group match play tournament limited to 64 players.
The five qualifying rounds are played on a fixed bank of four games totaling twenty games played. Modern, DMD, classic and a wildcard (any era). There will be a total of eight tournament banks and one backup bank. Pinburgh scoring will be used which is based on how many players you beat on a particular game, 3/2/1/0 (3/1.5/0 in a three player group). Two groups are assigned to each bank by Match Play.
Top 24 players will advance to Sunday A-finals and 25-32 will advance to B finals. Seed 1-8 will get a bye round. B finals is restricted for players in the top 250 on the day of qualifying. Tie-breakers will be played for all meaningful positions, including top 8. Finals continue in the same format as qualifying on the Sunday where the top two in each group advance in the tournament. Top seed in each group gets to pick any available bank (max two groups per bank). A player can not pick the same bank twice in the playoffs. Top group starts on the classic game in the bank and subsequent group starts on the DMD and move to the next game clockwise. Top four in each division will be awarded hardware and potential sponsor swag. No cash payouts.
Banks will be designated A finals banks and B finals banks, subject to change on the day of. The banks will be clearly marked during the tournament and the banks will be finalized a week before the tournament with the reservation that games may be changed at any time by the tournament staff.
