Bat City Monthly Open Pinball Tourney @ Bender
Advertisement
Monthly Open pinball tournament at Bender Bar -- as much pinball and socializing as we can squeeze into 3 hours of qualifying.
All skill levels are welcome! No cap on players, and no pre-registration required. Cash prizes and, often, really awesome custom trophies to winners/finalists of each Finals skill division.
Check in NO LATER THAN 3:45pm!!
Must bring CASH for the $10 tourney entry fee, preferably exact change or smaller bills. Pins take quarters and some take dollars. There is a change machine on-site.
FORMAT: Usually 4-player Group match play, or rarely head-to-head Max MatchPlay, depending on # of players and working pins. Per the software designer, when we use MMP, each player must stay for the entire tournament.
FINALS: Assuming our normal attendance, we have three different skill division finals: A, B, and Novice. Tournament payouts split equally between A & B Division. Format typically single-strikes, or possibly group match play. Novice finals will be a one-game group match. Automated tiebreakers based on software to get into Finals. Players with world ranking that are better than: 1,000 are restricted to A Division, or 5,000 are restricted to B Division. Higher qualifying seeds will have choice of game or position.
NOTES:
- No new round will start after 3 hours from the start of the first round.
- Any extra balls must be plunged and not played (though EB's should be turned off). No player disqualifications involving playing an EB out of turn.
- Software and other Adjustments that are made to each game are documented as Posts in the Event's Discussion section.
