THIS MONTH WE ARE RUNNING OUT MONTHLY EVENT ON THE 2ND SUNDAY DUE TO TDs GOING TO PAPA ON OUR USUAL WEEKEND.
Join us for a fun and competitive event, mixing Modern and Classic game every round! This will be a max value event, schedule to hit 200% TGP.
Doors open at 12PM for practice and registration at 1PM.
The tournament starting at 1:30PM sharp.
There is a LIMIT of 64 players total and the registration is $10 each.
The Ice Box is sponsoring the IFPA fee so 100% of the registration is paid back to the top 8 winners.
We will have 5 rounds of qualifying with 2 games per round (balanced player and arena selection), one Modern game (DMD or LCD) and one Classic game (Early Solid State). Each round will be scored 5-3-2-1 for a 4-player game (5-3-1 in 3 player group) with the top 16 players making the finals (if 32 or more players total, if less, top 12, if 24, top 8 if 16 players to meet the 50% rule).
The finals will be groups of 4 players playing 5 games in pre-made banks (2 New and 3 Classic machines). Each game will be scored 5-3-2-1 with the top 2 players of each group moving onto the next round.
If the finals do not start before 7PM due to delay, the bank will only have 4 games instead of 5 to avoid finishing too late.
Top seed can choose their bank (bank can only be chosen once for the whole finals) and the first game position. Following game choice is based on reverse order of last game finishing position.
Any major tie breaker to move onto the next round or for first place will be decided on a random Classic game drawn by the TD, position will also be random.
Seattle Pinball Services’ monthly Max Value events have become so popular that they frequently sell out! Here's some clarified rules on our sign up process:
We do not do pre-registration, UNLESS you are traveling more than 50 miles. If you are traveling and want to play, contact Germain on Facebook.
You must be present at the venue to sign up.
If you forfeit your spot, the entry will go to the next person on the wait list.
Sometimes we have almost enough players in line at the time sign ups open to fill our capacity, so make sure you plan accordingly!
This tournament will follow official IFPA rules, https://www.ifpapinball.com/rules/
