Brief description of PAPA-style:
Play as many tickets as you want during the qualifying period.Your ranking will be based off of your best ticket.
A ticket will be made up of 5 games, you may only pick a game once on each ticket. However, you do not need to play the same games on every ticket. All games in the tournament will use PAPA scoring which mean you will get:
100 points, for the top score during qualifying
90 points, for the 2nd best score
85 points, for the 3rd best score
84 points for the 4th best score
and then decreasing by 1 point for all remaining scores.
Once you have played all 5 games on you ticket the total points for each game on the ticket will be added up to give you your ticket total. At this point you can decide whether you want to keep the ticket or void the ticket. All scores on valid tickets will be used to determine scoring on the machines in the tournament.

At the end of the qualifying period, the top 4/6/8/12 players move on to finals
Players will be put into groups of 4 based on qualifying seed and will play banks of three games.
Top seed in each group will have priority to select the game or order for each game in the bank, a player may not pick a game twice throughout finals unless they have already picked all other games.
4,2,1,0 scoring - Top 2 scores from each group advance
