YEAR END DELAWARE TOUR CHAMPIONSHIP DETAILS: This will be updated based on new CDC guidelines.
Exact format for the Tour Finals is still be determined, but will be one of the 2 formats we have run in the past which will either be Head to Head best of 7 match ups if COVID guidelines are in effect in December or we will follow the old Stern Pro Circuit finals where we will have groups of 4 play 4 games with top 2 advancing until we get down to 10-12 players and then move to the Ladder finals (we will only do this format if we are allowed to have more people gather in public places. ****Also, if the Delaware Pinball Collective is operating by years end, this could also change the number of people that make the cut.

8/11/2021 UPDATE - Currently we will be taking 40 people to the Year End Finals.


Finally, based on current projections, we should have over $4000 to hand out at the Delaware Tour Championship Finals!!!!!
