Format: Critical Hit Match Play Event
RULES: We will be using the Critical Hit card game format for this tournament following our normal 7 rounds of match play qualifying. Players will play in groups of 4 or 3 players. Top 8 make "A" finals. This tournament WILL have a consolation "B" finals. This tournament IS IFPA sanctioned.
FINALS FORMAT: "A" division will play a modified PAPA format with top 2 from each group advancing. NOTE - Spell cards will be allowed in the finals. The top 8 who make finals will each receive 1 additional card.
**What's Critical Hit?**
At its core, Critical Hit is a fun way to incorporate a skill modifier system into a standard pinball tournament. Players are given cards that each have different effects that can be used to change the outcome of games. These cards are similar to Magic the Gathering and have spells and effects similar to Dungeons & Dragons.
Generally speaking, the better an individual player performs during the tournament, the more they will be targeted by other players, which serves to even the playing field for everyone.
Players start the tournament with a hand of 2 randomly drawn cards, and can receive additional cards by completing unique objectives or challenges assigned to each pinball machine. For example, if you play Aerosmith and start a 4-ball Multiball you will earn a spell card.
Everything else is more or less the same as a regular match-play tournament with group-elimination playoffs to determine a winner.
As with all things pinball, there are a few more layers to this onion but if you go into the tournament knowing only these things, you'll still have a fun time.
