Cut off for starting games in main division is 11 PM on Saturday night.
Cut off for starting games in classics is *to be determined*
Catastrophic malfunction cut off for main division is Friday at 6 PM. If a game must be replaced after this cutoff then scores from the previous game still stand in the rankings.
Queuing -
The Ohio Pinball Show will use a virtual queuing system available at *LINK TO BE ADDED*
Players may add themselves to queues through either their own device, or the designated queuing computer in the tournament area.
There will be a chair behind each game. If a player is next on a game then he or she should be sitting in the game’s respective chair. When a game opens up the next player will be called, if he or she is not present then the individual is removed from the queue and the next player is called.
The tournament must keep moving, and score keepers will not wait for a player who is in the queue but isn’t present.
Ties -
Significant ties (either to make it into finals or to receive a bye) will be played off on a randomly selected game, with the winner of that game being the winner of the tie breaker.
Ties for other positions in main division will be determined by whichever player has the higher ranking on their highest qualifying game. (ex. One player in the tie’s best game rank was the second highest score on a game, and the other player’s best game was a 6th place score. The first player wins the tiebreaker).
If both players in the tie breaker have the same highest game rank, then it will defer down to their second highest game rank. If that is tied it will defer down again, etc.
In the extremely rare case that both players have the exact same rankings across all their qualifying games, the players should probably buy a lottery ticket, and the tie will be broken by a coin flip.
