Pin-Golf is a casual format. Players get a score card and play indicated machines at their leisure. Each machine will have a target score. Players who reach this score on their first ball, are considered to have a Hole-in-One and would record a score of 1 for that machine. If someone fails to reach that score on ball one, but make it on subsequent balls they would record the ball they are currently on for their score. For example, achieving the target score on ball four would result in a score of 4 on that game. If you do not achieve the target score by the end of ball five use the chart on the game to figure out your score for that game (a maximum of 10).

Players are encouraged to buddy up and play together (each score must be witnessed), but you can play in any order and switch player groups at any time. Once all sheets are in, or the cutoff time is reached the top 8 players will go on to play finals (Pin-Golf format). No new games are to be started once there is only one group remaining in the main knockout tournament.
