QUALIFYING
Match Play Sessions -

3 player groups will score with 7 points to first, 4 points to second, and 1 point for third.
The first round will use IFPA rank for pairings, and the following rounds will use swiss-pairing based on point totals.
Each player’s combined total pointage for all 5 games is the player’s final score for that session. A session must have a minimum of 8 players to fire.
Pricing -
A division players (ranked 500 or better) cost $50 for a starter package of 2 sessions, and $30 for any additional sessions played beyond that.
B division players (ranked between 2,500 and 501) cost $20 per session

Lists of registered players will not be available until their respective rounds begin.
Ranking -
A division rankings will be determined by the total pointage of a player’s best two sessions combined together.
B and Casual division rankings will be determined by eligible player’s best session.
Any additional sessions that aren’t being used in a player’s ranking will be used for tie-breaking purposes.
B and Casual division tickets do not restrict upward movement, so, for example, a player who’s B eligible can still qualify for A division if his or her scores are high enough.
Top 24 players qualify for main division playoffs, with the top 8 qualifiers getting a bye through the first round.

Ties -
Significant ties (either to make it into finals or to receive a bye) 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 45 total points from their best two rounds. Player one played a third round in which he or she got 14, player two played a third round in which he or she 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.
FINALS
General information -

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.
Finals brackets can be found online at <<LINK NOT YET AVAILABLE>>
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)
Final Standings -
IFPA 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.
There will be a best of 3 match to determine 3rd and 4th place. The 3rd and 4th place match can not wait on a game that the finals match is playing.
Prize Pool -
Prize pool pays out 100% of the entry money (minus the IFPA fees and trophies)
20% of the main tournament’s prize pool will be delegated to the B division.
All other rules and procedures for anything game play related are based on PAPA rules (ex. malfunctions, interference, stuck balls, etc.)
