TOURNAMENT TIMES: Qualifying on Friday from 2.30pm - 9.30pm.

FORMAT DETAILS:
1. In qualifying, players will play one game on each of 12 different machines. Players will then have the option of using up to 4 wild-card entries to use on any of the 12 machines. Players can use their wild-card entries in any way; that is, they can use all 4 on one machine, or all 4 on different machines or any combination etc. So the maximum games a player can play in the qualifying period is 16.
2. The scores on each machine will be ranked and players will be allocated points accordingly.
3. Only the best score on each of the 12 machines will count toward a player's final tally.
4. Once the qualifying period starts all games played count. Games cannot be re-started and a player cannot walk away from a machine without having their score recorded. There is NO warm-up during this period.
5. It is suggested players don?t leave it too late to decide which machines to use wild-cards on.
6. 50% of the qualifying field up to a maximum of 16 players will qualify for the finals.
7. Finals will be single elimination best of three games on different machines. The higher ranked qualifier for game one of each best of three has the choice of either: machine played OR going first or second.
