Qualifying Format: Flip Frenzy (3 hour duration).
When the tournament starts, head-to-head matches are randomly created on available machines, and any players not assigned to a match are placed in a queue.
When a match ends, a new game will be created using the following approach:
Player 1 will become Player 2 on the new game.
Player 2 will go to the bottom of the queue.
The player at the top of the queue will become Player 1 on the new game.
The tournament will progress in this manner until the timer runs out.

Top 4 players at the end of the 3 hours will advance to a Best of 1, Single Elimination final.
