All included in the cost of entry, we take care of our patrons. We may even have a few surprises throughout the day. At the conclusion of the qualifying portion of the event, players are invited to stick around and play as much pinball as they please while semi-finals and finals occurs.

Pre-sale for the tournament will go on sale on January 19th at which point a pay link will be posted on the event page as well as the Skill Shot and Syracuse PINheads pages. All players who wish to compete must pay online in advance, spots will not be "held" for any participants without payment. Entry fees are non-refundable.

Qualifying Format:
The tournament is matchplay format, in 4 player groups, for a total of 36 players. There will be 8 rounds of qualifying in which groups of 4 will compete against each other.

The top qualifier from each group will pick the first game and will have preference for play order. All subsequent rounds, the last place player will pick game and play order. Scoring will stay the same at 4,3,2,1.
The top two players from each group will go to a final 4 player group ranked by the scores in semi-finals. Top qualifier will pick first game and have preference for player order. All subsequence rounds, the last place player will pick game and player order. Player with the top score at the end of finals wins the tournament.
