Level One’s Multiball Madness is our inaugural big bracket‑style pinball tournament: players face off head‑to‑head and advance through the bracket until only one pinball wizard remains.There are 3 phases of this Multiball Madness event.
Phase 1 - Timed Group Matchplay to determine seeding
Phase 2 - Fill out your bracket predictions for a chance to win our side pot
Phase 3 - Big Bracket tournament to determine Multiball Madness Champion
SCHEDULE OF EVENTS:
Saturday Mar 14th 10am: Seeding Tournament
The seeding tournament will be 6 hours of Group Match Play.
The results of this tournament will determine seeding for the main bracket style tournament on Sunday.
Saturday Mar 14th 4:30-5ish: Bracket Reveal
Immediately following the seeding tournament we will tabulate and announce the official Multiball Madness bracket seeding. Players (and others) may then submit their own bracket prediction for a chance at the side pot.
ALL BRACKETS MUST BE TURNED IN BY MIDNIGHT. Brackets turned in after midnight will not be accepted.
Sunday Mar 15th 10am: Multiball Madness Big Bracket Tournament
We will take our group of 64 players and begin cutting the field in half every round. Players will play Head to Head slaughter format. Each head to head round will be a best of 3 (old/mid/new). Whichever player wins 2 of the 3 games moves on, the losing player is eliminated.
High seed has first choice of game or position for the first game. The loser of that game gets to select either game or position. If a game 3 is needed, the loser of game 2 will have first choice of game or position. You may only play one new, mid, or old game per round. So if the high seed selects say a new game for game 1, the loser of that game will have choice of a mid or old game.
The initial round will be separated into 2 waves in the interest of space and available machines.
Approximate Round Schedule (subject to adjustments):
10am - Round 1 wave 1 (32 players)
11am - Round 1 wave 2 (32 players)
12:30pm - Round 2 (32 players remain)
2:00pm - Round 3 (16 players remain)
3:30pm - Quarterfinals (8 players remain)
5:00 - dinner break
6:00pm - Semifinals (4 players remain)
7:30pm - Finals (2 players remain)
Registration will begin at 1pm on February 15th via Eventbrite. We will take the first 64 players and then open up a waitlist. Anyone that gets a spot and later is unable to come is encouraged to notify either John Reemtsen or Steph Zona ASAP so we can get that spot filled by someone on the waitlist.
