Time: Doors to the arcade will open at 9am, our tournament will start promptly at 11am. Please be to the arcade and signed up at least 15 minutes in advance to ensure that we start up on time.

Fee: $1.00 + coin drop ($1.00 towards IFPA fees) We'll also be doing an additional and OPTIONAL $5.00 side pot, which pays out to top 4 players.

Format: We will play 5 rounds of group match play, with IFPA scoring of 7/5/3/1.

Finals: After the 5 rounds are done, the top 8, 12 or 16 players will participate in a PAPA style elimination bracket. (Obviously, depending on the amount of players play in the tournament will determine how many players will be picked for the finals).
The finals will be in a PAPA style format, where the top seed from each bracket will get to either pick the games or their order.
Each bracket will pick 3 games to play with scoring of 4,2,1,0.
One game must be Pokemon, one game must be an older solid state and the third game must be a DMD.
The 2 lowest total scores/players (from each bracket) are eliminated. while the two highest players/score move onto the next round.
1st Place- 40% of prize pool + Grand Champion Plaque
2nd Place- 30% of prize pool
3rd Place - 20% of prize pool
4th Place - 10% of prize pool
We will have TONS of exclusive door prizes to giveaway throughout the tournament. All door prizes are given away randomly (using Wheel Of Names) - no skill needed to win prizes!
All Skill Levels and All Ages are welcome!!
**Also, in true fashion of most of our tournaments - we may also have a B division and a special plaque/trophy for them as well.
For example: if we have 40 people participate in the tournament... the top 16 players will play in a PaPa style finals format... while seeds 17 - 20 will play 1 game on Pokemon for our B Division!
