This will be a public 6-week league that plays at 7:30pm on Tuesdays at Lanes & Games in Cambridge, MA druing the New England Pinball League offseason.
Players will play 6 randomly-selected machines per week. A target score for each machine will be established in advance. Par for each machine is 3. At the start of the round (1 session), all players will have a score of 0. For each game played, a player will receive either -2, -1, 0, or +1 strokes. If the target score is reached in 1 ball, the player will take 2 strokes off of their score for the round because it is 2 below par. If the target score is reached in 2 balls, 1 stroke is taken off of their score; if the target score is reached in 3 balls (par), the player receives 0 strokes. If the player does not reach the target score, they will have 1 stroke added to their score. The score for the round is complete once all 6 machines have been played.
The goal is to have the lowest cumulative total by the end of the season. There is no minimum requirement on the number of rounds played in order to qualify in the final standings, but only the four best "rounds" will count towards each player's cumulative total.
Extra balls may be played and do not count as an additional stroke.
There will be no money involved, other than coin drop.
Beyond that, standard pinGolf & tournament rules apply (no deathsaves, must be paired up with at least 1 other player, etc)
