Papa Style Finals
Ties -
Significant ties (to make it into playoffs, to receive a bye in playoffs, or to advance to the next round of the playoffs) will be played off on a randomly selected game, with the winner of that game being the winner of the tie breaker.
Ties for other positions in main division will be determined by whichever player has the higher ranking on their next highest ranking session that is not contributing to their standings. (ex. Both players in the tie have 60 total points from their best four rounds. Player one played a fifth round in which they got 14, player two played a fifth round in which they got 12. Player one would win the tiebreaker. If a player does not have results for an additional session it will be as if that player’s additional session was a 0)
If the tied players also tie in their additional sessions, then whichever player had the single highest scoring session will win the tiebreaker.
In the extremely rare case that both players have the exact same scores across all qualifying attempts, the tie will be broken by a coin flip.
For ties outside of the finals (used for IFPA standings purposes) if it were to come to a coin flip they will instead remain as ties.
FINALS
General information -
Four player games are scored with 1st earning 4 points, 2nd earning 2 points, 3rd earning 1 point, and 4th receiving 0 points.
Three-player games will be scored as if a nonexistent fourth player received the 4th place finish (i.e., 1st earns 4 points, 2nd earns 2, and last earns 1).
The top two players from each group will advance to the next round.
If there is a tie in point totals for the top two players in a group, the tied players will play off on a randomly selected game that they have not yet played that round. Play order selection will be based on seeding.

Game Selection (as per PAPA World Championship rules) -
The group that contains the highest-seeded player gets first choice of machine and order of play. The highest-seeded player within each group may choose either the machine to be played, or the order of play.
If the highest-seeded player chooses the machine to be played, then the next highest-seeded player chooses the order of play, with the remaining players choosing order of play in decreasing order of seeding.
If the highest-seeded player chooses order of play, the remaining players may choose their order, in descending order of seeding, and choice of machine then goes to the next highest-seeded player in the group.
Once a player verbally announces their game choice, or chooses position, that decision cannot be changed.
Note that the original seeding of players when entering the final rounds from qualifying is used in every round. At no time does a player’s seeding change from round to round; therefore the advantage of qualifying in first place can be significant.
No group may select a machine which has already been selected to be played by a higher seeded group, nor may they choose a machine on which they have already played in that round (unless machine malfunctions have made this unavoidable).
No player may choose the same game in consecutive rounds.
Final Standings -
Final standings for people who were eliminated in the same round as each other will be determined by the points players earned in the round they were eliminated in. Ties in pointage will be broken by qualifying ranks.
Tournament is open to the public with paid admission.
IFPA Approved 1$ will be collected per player.


Women’s tournament takes place on Saturday, 12P.M.
