3. Head-to-Head Single Elimination Format
Players will be placed in a single elimination bracket once the seedings have been completed. Depending on the number of players, there will be byes for the top seeded players through the first round.
First round pairings are as follows:

13 vs. 20, 14 vs. 19, 15 vs. 18, 16 vs. 17

1 vs. 16/17 winner (Match A), 2 vs. 15/18 winner (Match B), 3 vs. 14/19 winner (Match C), 4 vs. 13/20 winner (Match D),
5/28 winner vs. 12/21 winner (Match E), 6/27 vs. 11/22 winner (Match F), 7/26 vs. 10/23 winner (Match G), 8/25 vs. 9/24 winner (Match H)

Final round pairing are as follows:
Two winners of Semifinals round for the US National Championship
Two losers of Semifinal round in the Consolation Final for 3rd/4th place.
Each match will be a best-of-seven. The higher seeded player will have choice of machine or position for the 1st game, with the loser of each subsequent game having choice of machine or order, until someone has won 4 games. A machine may not be played more than once in the same match unless there are less than 7 machines available. If that is the case, only after all machines have been chosen can either player select that game to be played for a second time within the same match. Once a player verbally announces their game choice, or chooses position, that decision will be locked in and cannot be changed.
Each player will have the opportunity for 30 seconds of practice time before starting every game of every match. This is to ensure that both players have a chance to get familiar with the machine.
The winner of the match advances to the next round, while the loser is eliminated.
The 3rd/4th place Consolation Final will be played as a best-of-three instead of a best-of-seven like all other rounds, using the same rules.
4. Winners
Winners will receive cash prizes as cash or check during an awards ceremony shortly following the conclusion of all final rounds. Winners need not be present to receive prizes; prizes will be supplied via postal mail if necessary. All taxes are the sole responsibility of winners. Certain tax forms may need to be completed, as directed by tournament officials. All decisions by tournament officials regarding winners and prizes are final.
First Place will also receive the title “US National Pinball Champion”. This title remains in effect until the next annual IFPA State Championship Series, or will expire after two years if the IFPA State Championship Series is discontinued.
IV. Rulings and Malfunctions
All rulings and malfunctions will be based on the rules for the IFPA World Pinball Championship. Those are available HERE, starting at Paragraph V. Please ignore any sections above this as that relates to the format of the World Championship.
