Preference for registering in all rounds will be given to players who have not yet competed in the Women tournament. Ten minutes prior to closing Round B, C or D, if there are any open spots remaining, then players who finish best in a prior round but failed to qualify will be given priority to rebuy for one of the remaining spots. Players must be present at tourney registration desk 10 minutes before round start if they want a chance at obtaining the rebuy.
Note that this championship is available to Women in addition to the other tournaments at NWPAS. Women are encouraged to participate in the Open tournament, Match Play Classic events and Revenge knockout, as well as the Rookie & Amateur event if eligible, for alternate chances at big cash and prizes. The schedule has been set up such that the Women's Championship final does not conflict with the finals in any other division.
Finals
Women's Championships Finals begin on Saturday at 3:00 PM, and players are required to check-in by 2:45 PM, or they forfeit their Finals spot.
Finals will be played using a modified "PAPA style" format. Finalists will be placed into groups of 4 players. They play 3 games. At the beginning of each round, the top seed in each group gets to the pick one of the available bank of 3 games (each bank consist of an OLD/MID/NEW machine). The group highest seed may elect to chose the bank for the round or position for game #1, if they chose position the next highest seed will have the same choices.
Their group will then play the machines in order as show for the bank. Player order for pins #2 and #3 are chosen in reverse finishing order from the prior pin. Once a particular bank has been chosen by a group for a round, that bank may not be selected by another group.
A player cannot select the same bank twice for the duration of the finals, until the player has selected all available banks.
If a pin has a catastrophic malfunction, then any groups assigned to that pin will reach out to a tournament director for a replacement machine. Final round tie-breakers are still settled with one full game played on the OLD game from the bank the group with tied player just played, higher seed player will have a choice of position.
Scoring is 4-2-1-0 for the four finishing positions. After 3 games, the top 2 players from each group advance.
