Qualifying will begin on Friday June 23rd from 7:00 PM to 1:30 AM and Saturday June 25th from 10:00 AM to 1:00 AM.



During qualifying, competitors will play on a bank of at least 10 machines. The machines will cover all major eras of pinball (solid state, modern, and DMD). Players scores will be ranked on each machine, and will earn points based on their rank on each game played (1st = 100 pts, 2nd = 97 pts, 3rd = 95pts, 4th = 94pts, 5th = 93pts, and so on). The sum of all points will be used to determine a player’s overall ranking.

Players with the most points earned during qualifying will play in the finals. During finals, players will be placed in groups of four and play 3 game sets PAPA style (4-2-1-0). The top two players from each group will advance on to the next round, and the bottom two players will be eliminated.
