• The Summer Series. The series consists of 3 qualifying rounds followed by playoffs. Each qualifying round will award 100 points to the winner, 97 to the runner up, 95 to the 3rd place finisher, 94 for 4th place, etc. The top 12 finishers (with at least 24 players) (counting the best 2 out of 3 qualifying rounds) will advance to the playoffs. The top 4 qualifiers will get a bye round in the playoffs. For example, if person A participates in all 3 qualifying rounds with scores of: 75, 97, 86, their score will be (97+86) 183, since only the 2 best scores are counted.

Format: Each qualifying round will be played as match play. Players will be drawn into groups of 4 or 3 players and play 1 designated machine. The winner gets 7 points, runner up 5 points, 3rd place gets 3 points, and the last place finisher gets 1 point. We will play 5 rounds in each qualifier. The last round will hopefully end no later than 10:15 PM. At least that's the goal.
Playoff format: Single elimination bracket "slaughter style". Head to head, best 2 out of 3. Highest seed has the first game/play order choice. The loser of subsequent games has the same choice. Players can not pick a game that is busy with another match unless that match is on their last ball.
