Qualifiers format: themed after Dominion Pinball League. Using Matchplay software, we will play five games/rounds.
Players will be "balanced" (randomly paired with previously unfaced opponents). Rounds need to complete before new games are assigned, so there may be some waiting. Each round is scored like DPL, DC League Scoring with Linear scoring: Four-player scoring 4/3/2/1. Three-player scoring: 4/2.5/1. We may have a tie-breaker if necessary to determine the top 4. Games will be "balanced" as in, attempts will be made to assign an arena that has been played the fewest times by all opponents.
Finals Format: Top 4 compete on 1 game in POKEMON PRO.
This is an IFPA-sanctioned event. Standard IFPA rules & procedures apply for any problems. All games with chimes are set to 5-balls and all games with electronic sounds are set to 3-balls. One extra ball can be played on classic games (1990 and older). On single player games, tilt ends game.
Practice is allowed.
Decades has a collection of 40 Pinball Machines from 1957-2026, we will utilize as many of the pins as are able and willing that day in the main pinball room. Stern Insider Connect on 4 newest Sterns.
