a league official will record your scores. The qualifications are valid for seeding only, ALL players can complete in the finals held usually on the last day of

the 2nd week ( most likely Thursday ) !
Everyone that wants to play in finals will be allowed. Qualifying will be used to seed players.
If anyone decide to take last seed and not do qualification he/she will be allowed to do so but price will be equal of 2 visits at Modern as Superleague player !

Gameplay and Rules

GENERAL

Every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday , players of all skill levels can play pinball for a place on Modern Pinball's Real-Time High Scoreboard and earn

World Pinball Player Ranking points. No advance registration or sign up is required and players need only show up and notify a SUPERLeague Official to play.

SUPERLeague is a competition in which the three highest-ranking players after finals will take 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. Entries can be played anytime on any

Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday with additional days available when arranged in advance and/or announced by a SUPERLeague Official. Players interested

in playing on the day of the Final can do so but a different price applies.


GAME PICKS, PRACTICE AND PLAYER ENTRIES

For 2 consecutive weeks( in rare case 3 weeks ) , 6 games (the "Game Picks") plus a back up game will be made available for players to put up their best

scores and be ranked with other players . The set can be play on Week 1 or 2 , also players on week 2 can Re Do the entry .

Game Picks are typically announced several days in advance by one or more of the following: Modern Pinball website, in-store display, Official League

Facebook Group or SUPERLeague Official. Players can play as few or as many of these games as desired or none at all . Practice is allowed before each

game and more than one entry per day can be played (unlimited entries with a fee of $10 for each re entry ). The last score achieved for a game is the one

that will count and not the top score. Players making repeated attempts must play all Game Picks or receive a zero for the unplayed games whether or not

game scores exist from any previous entry. All Game Picks must be played the same day.

PLAYER RANKING

Only one score per player will be ranked for each machine regardless of the number of games played and points will be awarded based on player rank

according to the following point scale: Rank 1: 100pts; Rank 2: 90pts; Rank 3: 85pts; Rank 4: 84pts (and so on, decreasing one point with each rank

decrease). Naturally, as rounds progress, ranking and point totals for players will change accordingly. The sum of the points earned for all games will make up

the player's point total which at the end of qualifications will determine the standings going into the finals.


FINALS

Finals are typically held every 2 weeks ( or in rare case 3 weeks ) on any day between Monday and Thursday unless announced differently ( IF entry are

allowed then a Day pass will apply , in any case entry will be allowed until and no later than 7:15 . If you are not done by 7:15 you will be able to do Finals if

you have the required number of games so at least 4 , so look at "Note" below ) .
Finals will start at 7:45 PM (unless otherwise notified) and shall include only the SUPERLeague players that finished in the top 10% of the standings after all

qualification entries have been entered ( a minimum of 8 players to a maximum of 24 at Superleague Official/s discretion ) . Players may view the qualification

standings at Modern Pinball's website or ask a SUPERLeague Official. It is recommended that players near the 10% cutline close to the time of the finals be

present the evening of the finals in the event they qualify for the finals to be played that night. Games available for finals will be ALL working games.
Note:To qualify in the Finals a player must play 4 games while with less games might be able to be ranked in final standing depending on attendance in total

and based on percentage ( i.e. : 50 players x 6 games = 3.0 so means 3 games must be played , 51 to 66 players x 6 games = 3.96 as max value so 4 games

must be play , 67 to 83 players x 6 games = 4.98 as max value so 5 games etc etc...) .



FORMAT/MATCHES


FINAL : PAPA/Pinburgh Style Match Play 3(4) game Rounds, 4 player groups whenever possible as Best Score ( games will be split in different sets and

higher seed on each group will have 1st choice of picking his/her set so this will eliminate the chance for anyone to pick their best machines , also a "set" can

be picked only once by any player ) where Qualifications standing will matter only for Round 1 , in Round 2 players will be re seeded based on their

performance on Round 1 and so on for each following round ( if are any ties then the one that was higher in qualification will be higher seed ! ) . If are there

any ties to advance to the next round the SUPERLeague Officer will pick a machine either randomly or by his own choice .

MATCHES ARE BEST GAME SCORE WITH NO EXTRA BALLS that will be plunged without touching flipper or moving/shaking machine .


GENERAL INFO AND SPECIFIC FINALS RULES
You may ask how to play a game before or after playing your ball but not during. The penalty for receiving help during a match is a loss for that match.

Practice is not allowed on any of the machines used for the finals after the start of finals. Practicing on a finals machine during finals will result in a match

loss. A player that intentionally or unintentionally tilts someone elses ball will automatically lose their match. Slam tilting a game in progress will result in a

loss for the match and a second slam tilt will result in disqualification from the finals (NOTE: A slam tilt can occur due to hitting the coin door or in some rare

cases, rough-handling the machine). Bang backs and death saves are prohibited and can result in disqualification from the finals based on the

SUPERLeague Officials' determination. In the case of a minor malfunction (e.g. broken light or switch, etc.) keep playing since the handicap will be present

for everyone. If it's something that's a major hindrance to the objective then notify a SUPERLeague Official after your ball. If a machine resets, all players will

repeat the game . If a machine malfunctions and cannot be repaired in a reasonable amount of time then an alternate machine will be chosen or the "set"

where that machine was will be eliminated . Playing someone elses ball (i.e. playing out of turn) will result in a loss for the match for the player who played out

of turn. Cheating will not be tolerated and violators will be eliminated from the finals. SUPERLeague Official(s) shall make all rulings and final decisions.



ADMISSION RATES, WORLD PINBALL PLAYER RANKING POINTS AND REFUNDS

Modern Pinball general admission rates apply. All players will receive IFPA World Pinball Player Ranking (WPPR) points valid for World Ranking , NY State ,

Woman and Youth standing .
