OBX Flippers Arcade 2017 Spring Pinball Tournament

Cost $20 and free t-shirt plus coin drop on games

April 22, 2017

Qualifying from 10:00am - 4:00 pm

- Best Game format:
The tournament will have a bank of 14 designated machines. Each competitor may play each pinball machine as many times as desired during the qualifying period. Only a player’s single highest score on each machine will be counted. Player’s best scores on 7 different machines will be counted as a complete entry. Their 7 best games will be compared to everyone else's 7 best games and awarded points accordingly. Players will need to play a minimum of 7 out of the 14 pinball machines to be awarded a score.

The rank of the player’s result on each machine contributes the following points to the score for that entry:
1st place 100 points
2nd place 90 points
3rd place 85 points
4th down to 87th place 84- down to 1 point

After Qualifying ends at 4:00pm we will take a 30 minute break to make up the final 24 spots in the Final Round in the A division.

- we will then proceed to have a Group Knockout Round

Group knockout tournaments are very similar to regular knockout tournaments with the difference that people are paired against each other in groups of four. Match Play Events will automatically create three-player groups if needed. After each match the bottom two finishers will receive a strike—also in three-player groups.

Half the field will make the finals up to 24 participants . For example if we only get 36 participants than half field would be 18 and if we get 56 participants our maximum will be 24.
