Pin Circus 4

(A Pinball Tournament using Golf Scoring!!)

@Benton Parkade (located inside Cafe Piazza) 1900 Arsenal St - St. Louis, Missouri

Sunday - June 8th, 2025

Doors Open: 10:00am
Sign-In Begins: 10:45am

Entry Fee: $10(+ coin drop for games)


-FORMAT-

Qualifying: Objective-based Pin-Golf. Participants will be paired in groups and given scoresheets, and will play the 10 games listed. Each game will have a certain act the player must perform, however many balls it takes you to complete that act, is your score and is written on scoresheet.. For example, on Monster Bash the act would be “Start Frankenstein Multi-Ball”, if you start Frankenstein multi-ball on ball one - you score a 1. If it takes you three balls to start - you score a 3. All games will be set to 5 balls, if you do not complete the act in 5 balls, you will be given a penalty stroke and write down a 6 as your score. The max score you can get on any game is a 6. Just like golf, lower scores are better. After all participants have played the 10 games, the scoresheets will be added up for each player to determine a total score and then we will take the lowest (?) scores and those players will advance to the finals.

Finals: The top (?) players will advance to a matchplay finals bracket using the same objective based pin-golf scoring system. The number of players playing in finals will be dependent on total number of players who enter the tournament.
Plaques to Top Three Finishers in addition to a Payout distributed to the Top Three(consisting of $100 + remaining money leftover after tourney expenses)

IFPA Sanctioned and for WPPR points
