Doodle Bug & Friends, Saturday, March 24th, at FGW, at 2 PM.

To celebrate the 1971 masterpiece Doodlebug, we are playing a tournament with only machines from the 70's and 80's.

Probable lineup will include, but not be limited to: Nine Ball, Paragon, Frontier, Eight Ball Deluxe, Harlem Globetrotters, Doodle Bug, Flight 2000, Fathom, Meteor, & Totem.

Format
9 rounds of match play in groups of 3 or 4 players. The scoring will be 7/5/3/1.
Top 12 participants (if we have 24 or more players) will go to playoffs, with 1 bye round for the top 4. If we have 16 or more, but less than 24 players, only the top 8 will go to playoffs and there will be no bye rounds.

Playoffs will be head to head, best 2/3. The higher seed gets first choice of machine or playing order. The loser of the 1st game and of subsequent games will have that choice. Losers will play out 5-8th place, and 3-4th place respectively in a 1 game match.

Ties to get into the playoffs will be broken by highest number of wins, followed by highest number of 2nd places in qualification rounds. If still tied, there will be a 1-game tiebreaker on Doodlebug.

Ties for playoff seed will be broken in a similar same way, except that we will flip a coin to determine seed instead of playing out an actual tiebreaker.

Start time: Saturday, March 24th, at 2 PM sharp. Register from 1:30 PM.
Cost to enter: $10 + coin drop
