$40 entry fee. 12pm start.

There will be a one-hour free practice session from 11:00am on Saturday. No practice or warm-up time will be allowed during the tournament.

7 rounds of matchplay, in 4-player groups. Groups are randomly assigned, and are redrawn each round.
Groups play 2 games per round. 7-4-2-0 scoring in each game (7-3-0 in any 3-player groups).
Top 16 qualify for finals. If there is a tie for 16th, a tiebreaker game will be played.

The top qualifier will be asked to choose four machines, which will be removed from the Melbourne Matchplay Championship Finals, and used in the Greg Berry Junior Cup.

There will be a half-hour practice session from 11:00am on Sunday. The finals will begin at 11:30am. Any no-show(s) will be replaced by the next highest available qualifier(s).

3 rounds of finals in 4-player groups.
Round 1: A.1v8v9v16 B.2v7v10v15 C.3v6v11v14 D.4v5v12v13
Round 2: E.A1vB2vC2vD1 F.A2vB1vC1vD2
Grand Final: E1vE2vF1vF2

4 games per round on 4 different machines. 7-4-2-0 scoring.
Top two from each group in rounds 1 and 2 advance to the next round. In round 1, the top qualifier in each group gets to "drive the bus", i.e. gets choice of machine or playing position for each game.
In later rounds, the two players in each group who advanced by winning their group in the previous round get two game/position choices each.

Players eliminated in the same round will be split according to the number of points they scored in that round. Ties for 2nd in any group in rounds one and two will be broken using a tiebreaker game, as will any tie for 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in the final round.
