This tournament will feature between 18-24 machines from three different era’s. The number of machines can change depending on player turnout and/or unforeseen machine malfunctions.

The format will be 9 rounds of Group Match Play Qualifying. Scoring will be 7-5-3-1 or 7-4-1. The first round will be Random group pairings, rounds 2-9 will be Balanced group pairings. Arena draws will be Balanced.

All rule changes will be clearly listed on each machine. Extra Balls will be disabled on the majority of machines, but most likely enabled on the “ALPHANUMERIC” machines. If you achieve an Extra Ball, you have “one energized flip”. This will be explained prior to the tournament beginning.

Rounds #1 - #4 - #7: ALPHANUMERIC
Rounds #2 - #5 - #8: 90’s DMD
Rounds #3 - #6 - #9: MODERN

When qualifying concludes, the top 8 finishers advance to Finals. Ties will be broken by Placement (most 1st and 2nd place finishes). If any players still remain tied, a one game tiebreaker will be played on a random “Alphanumeric” machine.

Before Finals begin, “Arena Banks” will be formed consisting of 1 machine from each era. For example, if there are between 25-28 players:

ARENA BANK #7
Game #1 - Gorgar
Game #2 - Monster Bash
Game #3 - Deadpool

All the other Arena Banks will be announced periodically in the upcoming weeks, you can check out www.theflipperroom.com and the Facebook Event page for updates.

The top seed from qualifying will have the choice of either Arena Bank OR Position on Game #1. The last place finisher on Game #1 will have Position choice on Game #2, same applies for Game #3. Scoring will be 4-2-1-0. Ties will be broken by Placement (most 1st and 2nd place finishes). If players remain tied, a one game tiebreaker will be played on the “Alphanumeric” machine in that bank.

***IMPORTANT NOTE***

The 2 Arena Banks chosen in the Semi-Finals ARE NOT ELIGIBLE for the Finals, so choose...but choose wisely!

Hope to see you there!
