Format and Rules:

3 Strike Group Knockout

The Knockout Tournament is a 3 Strike Tournament played in groups of 4 (3 when necessary).

Random Seeding to start, then Swiss Style.

SPECIAL NOTE - Since this is for the launch of the new RUSH pinball machine, every single round will have RUSH drawn. This potentially means that when we get down to the final 2 players, the final game will be played on RUSH! All other games drawn randomly.

Groups of 4 will play against each other on a single machine.

The 2 players with the lowest scores in a 4-player group will receive a strike (3rd, 4th Place in the match)

In a 3-player group (as needed) only the lowest score (3rd Place) will receive a strike.

Once a player has 3 strikes they are out of this tournament but can still hang around and play machines not in use.

The tournament continues until there is one player remaining. Only ties for prizes will be broken with another game played on an early solid state machine or RUSH!
