18 different machines will be set up as ‘Pin-Holes’, where players will need to achieve a target score on each machine to finish that pin-hole and advance to the next pin-hole. The number of balls it takes for the player to reach the target score will represent the strokes for scoring purposes.

All players will complete 2 full rounds of Pin-Golf over the 2 days of qualifying, where the top 16 players (plus those tied for 16th) will advance to the final round of 18 Pin-Holes.

The 2009 IFPA Pin-Masters will take place September 25th-27th, 2009 at the Pinball Hall of Fame in Las Vegas.
