Overall

Tournament Director: Luke Marburg

Target Matchplay, in randomly assigned 4-player groups. 7-4-2-0 scoring (7-3-0 in any 3-player groups). The first 16 players to reach or surpass 50 points qualify for the finals. Once players reach the target, they no longer participate in qualifying. Groups will be redrawn after every match.

The first player to reach 50 points will be asked to choose a bank of machines, which will be removed from the Melbourne Matchplay Championship Finals.

Finals (Sunday): 3 rounds of finals in 4-player groups.
Round 1: A.1v8v9v16 B.2v7v10v15 C.3v6v11v14 D.4v5v12v13
Round 2: E.A1vB2vC2vD1 F.A2vB1vC1vD2
Grand Final: E1vE2vF1vF2

4 games per round on 4 different machines. 7-4-2-0 scoring.
Top two from each group in rounds 1 and 2 advance to the next round. In round 1, the top qualifier in each group gets to "drive the bus", i.e. gets choice of machine or playing position for each game.
In later rounds, the two players in each group who advanced by winning their group in the previous round get two game/position choices each.
