District 82 Pinball Pin-Golf Format
Big Picture:

Its pinball with golf scoring. Just register and have fun.

Fine Details:

Everyone is going to be put into a 3 player (2 if necessary) group that they will stay in for the entire qualifying portion of the tournament. Erik the tournament director will assign groups but I will take requests for which group you would like to be in--just send me an email before the day of the tournament. I will keep families together (unless you want me to split you up :-)) I will also try to put an experienced person with pin golf in each group. You will play 18 different games (holes) one at a time. They will be a mix of LCD, DMD, and Solid State machines. Exact game list won't be published until just before the event but they will all be from my game list that is published on the website. The games will be marked for open pinball on Friday and Saturday Nov 8th & 9th. Everyone will play the same 18 holes. This will be a shotgun start so every group will start on a different hole and rotate through each hole as it becomes available. So if you start on hole 7 your next hole will be 8 then 9, etc until you finish on hole 6. Every game will have a target score. Lets say the target score on a game is 100,000,000. If you reach the target score on ball 1 you put 1 stroke on your score card. If it takes 2 or 3 balls you write down 2 or 3 on your score card. If you don' t reach the target score you will put a number of strokes between 4-8 on your score card depending on how well you did. On this hole it would say the target score is 100,000,000. After 3 balls, If you get between 80,000,000-99,999,999 you put down 4 strokes, 60,000,000-79,999,999 5 stokes, 40,000,000-59,999,999 6 strokes, 20,000,000-39,999,999 7 strokes, under 20,000,000 will be 8 strokes. 8 is the maximum amount of strokes on any hole.

If you play out of turn or tilt through someone you will get an 8 for that hole!

If a machine breaks and can't be quickly fixed that hole will be removed from the competition so then 17 holes will be used to determine playoff field. Same if another one breaks. Then 16 holes, etc.

Player order will be pre selected for the 1st hole then it will change each hole based on if you got 1st,2nd or 3rd in your group for the previous hole. So it you did the best in your group on the previous hole you go first on the next one, the person who did the 2nd best goes next, and worst player goes last. This order changed each hole unless there is a tie between 2 players. If 2 players tie then the order stays the same for those players on the next hole. This is all common order playing in regular golf.

You will have a group score card for all your holes. At the break please turn in your score card so we can update the scores. Then at the end of the tournament turn in your completed group score sheet so I can input the final standings for qualifying. It is everyone's responsibility to be honest and check the score card after each hole so that its accurate with your group score card. Anyone caught cheating will be eliminated from the tournament.

Top 16 or 24 Players with the lowest scores make the Finals

Finals will be a 24 person playoff with top 8 getting first round bye or a 16 person playoff with no byes depending on number of players. 32-47 players means top 16 make it with 5 games per round, 48 or more means top 24 make it with 3 games per round. If you are eliminated at this point you can stay and play other machines just not the ones in the pin-golf playoff tournament. All ties for making it into the playoffs and seeding will be broken with a full game using points (not strokes) on classic games selected by the tournament director. The finals brackets will consist of 4 player groups playing different holes one at the same time.
The game being played will be chosen by the highest seed in each group with 1st choice player order determined by the next highest seed, then 3rd highest, then 4th highest, then highest seed gets whatever position is left. They will be choosing one game at a time, playing that game, then moving onto choosing the next game. Play order choice will also be going by the original seeds each game and not the results of the previous game. Games will be grouped in a Modern/Mid/Classic eras with 6 games in each grouping. Since you are picking 5 games in total and we have 3 groups you cannot pick more than 2 games from any 1 era (Modern/Mid/Classic). Once a group selects a game no other group can choose that game if it is being played at the moment. They must pick a different game and cannot wait for it to be completed by a different group. You can select any of the 18 games on any of the rounds of play. Example: you do not have to select a Modern Game for the 1st round, then Mid for 2nd round, then Classic for 3rd round in that order. You could choose a Classic game first, then a modern next, etc. Once a group has finished their game they can immediately pick the next one and keep playing. We will not wait for each group to finish before moving onto the next game. Once a group has finished a round we will wait until all groups are finished before we start the next round. The high seeded player also cannot pick the same games from round to round. Once they pick that game it is out from there selection process with the exception of a tiebreaker. If a tiebreaker game is need the higher seed of the players involved in the tiebreak can choose any game that wasn't played in that round with their group. The tiebreaker at this point will be pin-golf style and could result in more ties until a winner is determined. The tiebreak game that is chosen can be chosen again by that player in future rounds as long as they haven't used it as one of there main choices in a round. Example. They chose Iron Maiden as the tiebreaker in round 2 and moved onto round 3. They never chose Iron Maiden in Round 1 or 2 of the finals. They were high seed for the next group. They can choose Iron Maiden as one of their 3 main games in round 3 or 4.
You will add up the number of strokes total for the 3-4 games and the 2 lowest scores advance and highest 2 are eliminated. Your strokes do matter even when you are eliminated. Final position will be based on number of strokes against others whom were eliminated in the same round. This way I don't have an 8 way tie for 9th and 17th place. The winner will be the person with the fewest strokes on the 4 final games with only 4 players. A tie for 1st will result in a 1 game playoff chosen by the high seed with the next highest seed choosing order. They can pick any game except the ones that were chosen on that final round. All other ties will stand for IFPA points but we will do a 1 game playoff for trophy positions.
