Tournament Overview


Tournament Date: September 17, 2017

This is a large event benefitting two wonderful charities - last year we had 27 players from 3 states - ALL skill levels welcome: A, B, and C divisions - lots of IFPA points available here too as there will be a concurrent D/FW pinball league event (since we have 19 pins on site).

Doors open at 1 PM and first flip is scheduled for 1:30 PM (or as soon after registration is complete as possible).

-- Raffle for Harlem Globetrotters pinball machine ($25 for one ticket or $60 for three) - must be present to win
-- IFPA tournament with cash payouts ($30 entry) - see below
-- Cash Bar (free food, soda, and water) with licensed bartender
-- Silent Auction (had 8 different silent auction items last year - good stuff!)

IFPA tournament:
$30 buy in - CASH PAYOUTS (A division winner will get 10 TIMES YOUR ENTRY FEE)
Trophies for top 3 in ALL divisions. Division size will depend on number of players.
For example, if we have 32 players: A division will be top 8 qualifiers, B division will be qualifiers 9-16, and C division will be 17-32. A division playoffs would be the "official" playoffs for the IFPA event. B and C division are playing for trophies.
These are NICE trophies - last year the winner was so excited about his trophy he forgot to collect his winning (I gave the winnings to him next time I saw him).

This will be a group match play tournament - IFPA format scoring 7-5-3-1.
3 rounds of 2 games per round for 12 TGP.
At the end of qualifying any ties that need to be broken will be done as follows:
1) Head to head results
2) "Play in" games
Further example/interpretation of this, as needed, will be provided by Louis Marx or Marcus Trevino as tournament directors at the event.

Playoffs will be a strikes tournament - TWO strikes - Best-of-1 Matches (4 player matches – 3rd/4th place get strikes – receives 2X bonus for 4-player games) - 8-14 players –> 14 games towards TGP

So TGP will be maxed out for maximum points!

Every year we have done this tournament it has grown. Last year we had 27 players. This year we expect 32 or more and can handle up to 64 players. NO pre-registration needed.
