Quick Overview
Players compete in head to head matches over 3 hours. (7 to 10pm). The player with the most wins and least losses at the end of the allotted time is declared the winner.

Format Details
1. First, Barbz's software randomly assigns two players to each machine in their playing order. The remaining players are placed in one central queue

2. When a match is completed:
- both players return to the tournament directors desk and record result
- the loser returns to the machine they just come from, unless he/she has lost twice consecutively, in which case the winner returns
- the other players goes to the rear of the queue
- the player staying on the machine plays in the P1 position, the new player in P2
- the player at the front of the queue moves up to compete against the player staying on the machine

3. At the end of 3 hours no more games may start. Whoever wins the most games in that time is declared the winner. Ties will be broken by the fewest losses, if still tied, then head-to-head results and if still tied by a single game playoff on a machine

4. Extra balls turned off when possible

5. All rulings and malfunctions will be based on the rules for the IFPA World Pinball Championship
