Overall

The first of hopefully many tournaments at Flaherty's! Future (ideally monthly) tournaments will be more of a traditional matchplay or strikes format, but I wanted to run something more casual with less of a time commitment for new players for this first tournament.

$6 to enter, $5 going to the prize pool and $1 to the IFPA. No other costs other than coin drop for each game.

Starting at 3:30 (players can show up any time, just make sure to have enough time to play all five games currently on location) - last game started no later than 8:30 PM: Best Game unlimited qualifying. Play as many games as you want, your best final score for each game will be ranked against other players (90% decay - 100/90/81/73...). Queues will be managed via https://app.matchplay.events/.

Extra balls will be allowed during qualifying, but will not be played in finals.

Top scoring players advance to finals depending on registered player count. Top 50% will advance, up to a limit of 16 players making finals.

Finals: 3-4 player groups, eliminating 3rd / 4th place each game until a final 1v1 match to decide 1st and 3rd place.

Payout: 15 or less, top 3 - 50/30/20. 16 or more, top 4 - 50/25/15/10

Extra prizes / player perks TBA.
