Overall

The Launch Party will be taking place on the same night as the monthly tournament out at I/O Arcade Bar, so stop on out and participate in both!

Qualifying: Every player gets one FREE game, and can play as often as time allows afterwards during the Launch party. In order to play, a participant must place their name on the list and are asked to cue and be ready to play when it is their turn. Your score is recorded after playing by a tournament director and verified by you. If all participants in attendance/in cue at any given time have already played once, then they are allowed to play additional qualifying attempts (Players responsibility to Void/cross out any score that is lower; players should place name on 2nd attempts list in order to re-cue and please only place name on 2nd attempts after you complete your current attempt is complete). Priority of play is given to any players that have not yet played their 1st attempt, so they will be bumped to the front of the line for all players waiting to play their 2nd+ attempts. Highest score for each player at the end of qualifying is used to determine the top 4 for playoffs.

Playoff format:
The top 4 players will play PAPA style 4-player games across 3 pre-selected games with Stranger Things as the final game. In the event of a tie, the score on Stranger Things is the tiebreaker.

Prizes: Trophies and prizes provided by Stern Pinball, Madison Pinball and I/O Arcade Bar
