Tournament format details: FLIP FRENZY
Estimated # of players: 10 to 20

- Once all players have registered, the number of players will be divided by 2.6 to determine how many machines will be used for the tournament.
- As soon as all the information is presented the start button on the stop watch is pressed and the tournament runs for THREE hours.
- The match play software will run this tournament.
- When the tournament starts each machine is randomly assigned 2 players. The remaining players are placed in a queue.
- When a game is completed: Both players are to go to the desk to report the result, without any delay. The winner scores a WIN and the loser scores a LOSS.
- The player who was Player 2 in the game stays at the desk, and goes to the back of the queue to await their next game assignment.
- The player who was Player 1 in the game returns to the same machine with the player from the front of the queue. The new player will be PLAYER 1 in the new game, and the returning player is Player 2.
- After that game, the process is repeated and results are reported, P2 goes to the rear of the queue, and P1 returns to the same game to play as Player 2 in the new game.
- Players who are absent from the queue when their name is called are to be credited with a loss, and placed at the back of the queue.
- All Frenzy games must be played in a competitive spirit. Any collusion in results (ie 1 ball games) will result in disqualification from the event.
- A player is free to end their ball if they think they have enough points to win, or plunge a ball if they want to concede. However, all balls must be played and the game must be in GAME OVER state when the players leave the game. Turning a machine on/off to end a game is not allowed.
- At the end of the 3 hours, no more games may start.
- Standings are to be based on net wins (i.e. wins - losses = your score) The best score at the end of the competition is the winner.
- Ties will be broken by head-to-head results, and if still tied, by a single game playoff on a machine chosen at random. If needed, the single game playoff will only be used to break ties for first and second places.
