Quick Overview
Players compete in head to head matches over 3 hours. The player with the best win/loss ratio at the end of the allotted time is declared the winner.

Format Details
1. First, each machine is randomly assigned two players. The remaining players are placed in one central queue

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 at the front of the queue moves up to compete against the player staying on the machine

3. At the end of 3 hours no more games may start. Ties will be broken by the most wins.

4. Extra balls turned off when possible

5. All rulings and malfunctions will be based on the rules for the IFPA World Pinball Championship
