MAIN TOURNAMENT
Qualifying is "group matchplay style".
This means you'll be playing in three or four player groups on multiple machines.
We will play as many rounds as we can in 4.5 hours (based on time the round starts).
Playoffs/Finals will be Group Elimination (similar to PAPA Style).
This means you play in four player groups and, at the end of each round, the top 2 players move on and the bottom 2 players are eliminated.
The B Division is restricted as follows:
-- players in the top 1500 in the IFPA rankings are ineligible for B division
-- players who have placed in the TOP 3 in any of the 3 most recent DFW Pinball League events are ineligible for B division
-- THUS: many of the top players are excluded from the B Division so that ANYONE CAN WIN!
For the tournament, Late entrants will be allowed until HALF WAY through qualifying.
If you need to leave early, that's fine too, just please let me know when you're leaving.
FOOD:
-- WE WILL HAVE SLIDERS AGAIN (back by popular demand!)
-- WE WILL ALSO HAVE HOT DOGS
-- POTLUCK
-- BYOB on ALCOHOL or other drinks
-- WATER AVAILABLE
