MAIN TOURNAMENT
Qualifying is "group matchplay style". This means you'll be playing in four player groups on multiple machines.
We will play as many rounds as we can in 4.5 hours (based on time the round starts).

Playoffs/Finals will LIKELY be Group Elimination/PAPA Style, which is similar to the above, but with lower performing players being eliminated as we go forward (until there's a winner). However, if we have less than 32 players, we will change finals to Amazing Race format.

THERE WILL BE PLAYOFFS FOR: A, B AND C DIVISIONS, WITH TROPHIES FOR ALL 3 DIVISIONS - SO ALL SKILL LEVELS CAN PLAY AND WIN!

The B Division is restricted so that
-- players in the top 1000 in the IFPA rankings are ineligible for B division
-- players who have placed in the TOP 3 in any of the 3 most recent DFW Pinball League events are ineligible for B division
-- The C Division is restricted to players outside of the IFPA top 2500.
-- THUS: many of the top players are excluded from the B and C Divisions so that ANYONE CAN WIN!

---
PRIZES FOR THIS EVENT:
Provided by the National Videogame Museum (NVM) at https://nvmusa.org/

There are PRIZES for the B & C Division players and ...
... ALSO random door prizes for ANYONE in the tournament regardless of standings/rankings!

PARKING INFO FROM HOST:
Parking is as always limited, which is the norm for my place. Park on the edge of the road not half on and half in the grass. The more people that can car pool the better. If there is no Rain, Parking in my lawn will be permitted.
