The Pinball Perch and Lake Erie Women's Pinball invite you to a special tournament benefitting the Little Free Library of Port Clinton!
Saturday, August 15th
Location: Three Legged Dog (116 Madison St., Port Clinton, OH)
Doors open for practice and registration: Noon
Event starts: 1 pm sharp
Are you new to pinball tournaments? That’s great!! Don’t worry too much about these details, just show up at the time above, and we’ll show you how it works. It’s easy and a LOT of fun!
This tournament is open to all women and nonbinary players who are comfortable with a woman-centered experience and want to play pinball in a fun, supportive environment!
Please bring a new or gently used book for the Little Free Library of Port Clinton. Better yet, bring a bunch!
Prize raffle including Stern swag. The tournament winner will receive a special trophy and glory!
We’ll be playing a group Matchplay tournament with 3 hours of qualifying. Each round, players will be put into groups of 3-4 and assigned one of the games to play. Tournament points are earned based on how you finish in that game using 7/5/3/1 scoring. Example: if you win the game, you earn 7 points; if you get 2nd place, you earn 5 points; and so on. Next round, new groups will be made, and you’ll be assigned your next game to play. We’ll do that for 3 hours, which should get us around 7 round.
After the qualifying period ends, the overall point standings will determine who advances to the tournament finals. If we have 8-15 players, the top 4 will advance to finals; if we have 16 players, the top 8 will advance to finals.
Ties at the finals cutline will be broken by playing a full tiebreaker game. Any ties for seeding will be broken automatically.
Finals will be PAPA style: 3 rounds of group Matchplay with 4/2/1/0 scoring.
$5 entry fee + coin drop (meaning you’ll need to pay for the games you play)
$4 goes to the prize pool, $1 goes to IFPA tournament registration fees. The prize pool will be distributed as:
1st place: 50% of the prize pool
2nd place: 25% of the prize pool
3rd place: 15% of the prize pool
4th place: 10% of the prize pool
The tournament is IFPA sanctioned and players will earn WPPR points. This tournament is also associated with the PRPA (Punk Rock Pinball Association), and will earn PRPS in the Northern Ohio scene!
*Potential format changes based on attendance
We have 5 games at the Three Legged Dog, so if attendance exceeds 20, we will change the qualifying format to 3 hours of Max Matchplay to accommodate more players.
The exact number of players moving on to finals may vary based on attendance, but will be no more than 50% of the qualifying field.
