Specifics:

Galloping Ghost Pinball, is a pinball location in the Western Chicago suburb of Brookfield (near the Brookfield Zoo!) with 36+ machines on freeplay, so tokens/dollars/quarters are not needed. Save your receipt and you may come and go as you please. There are very good eating establishments around, so ask the staff for food advice. Drinks are also sold on site. This means, that you are not restricted to show up for just the tournament, but may arrive any time after the 11:00am opening, and stay after the tournament until close at 11:00pm.

For the Flip Frenzy, you will pay an additional $5.00 for the tournament. $1.00 goes to IFPA (http://www.ifpapinball.com) and $4.00 goes into the prize pool

Flip Frenzy is a 2-1/2 hour long competition where players are randomly selected to play each other in a two player, head to head game on a randomly selected pinball machine. The tournament will use the Match Play software, which handles the pairings and game selections. Once the 2-1/2 hour period is up, the tournament shall be over.

***No finals, due to time constraints on a weekday*** Results will be hidden until the end of the tournament, so play your best!
