Tournament Director: Jimmy Nails

Quick Overview
Players compete in head to head matches over 3 hours.

For the first hour all games are 3 ball games, for the second hour two ball games and for the final hour 1 ball games. Over the second and third hour, the first balls are to be plunged out by the respective players. Players are able to plunge in a skillful manner and nudge the machine after plunging. Players who do not plunge their own ball or accidentally/intentionally hit the flipper button during the plunging sequence will record a loss.

The player with the best win/loss differential at the end of the allotted time is declared the winner.

2. When a match is completed:
- the winner returns to the tournament directors desk to record result
- the loser stays on the machine they just played, unless he/she has lost twice consecutively, in which case the winner stays on
- the other player goes to the rear of the queue
- the player staying on the machine moves to the player one position and must wait for the new player before beginning the game
- the player at the front of the queue moves up to compete against the player staying on the machine
- for the first hour all games are 3 ball games, for the second hour two ball games and for the final hour 1 ball games. Over the second and third hour, the first balls are to be plunged out by the respective players. Players are able to plunge in a skillful manner and nudge the machine after plunging.
