Join us for Stern Pinballs Pokemon Launch Party on Sunday April 26th at Noon. $25 entry fee for the day for the tournament and freeplay on all machines. Many prizes and giveaways such as Pokemon Lego sets, Pokemon cards and Stern Pinball translites/swag/promotional material. Payouts and custom trophies for the top 3. Qualifying rounds will be Pace Matchplay. Groups of 4 will go out and play a single game with 7/5/3/1 scoring. After 7 rounds a Pace score of 24 will be set. Anyone below 24 points after 7 rounds will be eliminated. After that each round the Pace goes up by 6 points. If you fall below the new pace of 30 after round 8 you are eliminated. Each round will alternate between classic games one round and modern games the next. This goes on until we have 16 players remaining to make the cut for finals. Any ties at the cut line to make it into finals will be broken on a single game of Stars.Finals is a head to head bracket. Best of 5. All games will be randomly selected for each matchup with them alternating between classic and modern each game. Event will likely grade out to around 150% TGP
Translite provided by stern will be randomly raffled off at the start of the event. We will have other fun events happening alongside the main tournament such as an insider connected high score leaderboard on Pokemon. All players(Trainers) will randomly be assigned a Pokemon card when they sign up and will later be revealed. Before we start the event we will have each player then choose a Pokemon to pick as theirs to bring to battle. Once all players have chosen a pokemon we will reveal the pokemon everyone was assigned at sign ins. That is the pokemon you will be rooting to win and if the pokemon you chose places in the top 3 you will also recieve a prize for the event.
Added bonus! If you come in costume you will be awarded 1 point to your starting score towards the Pace Matchplay qualifying portion.
