Tournament Rules and Regulations:
We will have 6 rounds of Match Play (match play software) where players will be split in groups of 4 in a randomly assigned game. After round 1 players will be reassigned in a new group based on the performance of previous round (winner will play winner). Within groups the score software will assign points of 5-3-2-1 in 4 player group. Groups with 3 players will be slightly less. After 6 rounds, considering there are at least 20 players, the top 10 will go on for Finals. Order will be assigned by software.
All machines will be in tournament mode. A game can be picked only once throughout the ENTIRE tournament by the same player and no players can repeat the same manufacturer that has already been picked that round. For example, on round 1 a player could pick Tommy, Revenge and Prospector. After that they will not be able to pick any of those games/manufacturers in the following rounds if given the choice again. He/she must pick from another Manufacturer.
THERE ARE NO EXTRA BALLS! You must plunge and walk away (good for skill shot of touching flippers buttons before the ball will go in play). TILT through or play out of order is an automatic loss/last place.
IFPA rules will apply! Directors will make all final decisions.
Finals:
Round 1: From 3rd to 10th place we will have 2 groups of 4 with a round of 3 games. The higher seed can pick a game or order. The higher seed MUST pick a game from one of the Manufacturers: Williams, Stern, Bally, etc. and no players can repeat the same manufacturer that has already been picked that round. 3 vs 10 vs 6 vs 7 and 2 vs 9 vs 3 vs 8
After the 3 games last place of each group will be eliminated!
Round 2 : The top 2 seed will be the “driver” of the 2 groups (1 vs 8 v 4 vs 5 and 2 vs 7 vs 3 vs 6) but in this round 2 last players after 3 games will be eliminated! The other 6 will be assigned based on their performance on round 1!
Round 3 : The top 2 of each group of round 2 will go into the final round! Again with 3 games per round and again the number 1 seed will be based on the performance on round 2 and not on qualifications!
