Registrants can participate on a drop-in basis (or up to the maximum 160 participants), the registration fee will be $50.00 CAD for drop in participants and that will give you 20 entries.

This tournament will have it’s own dedicated 12 machines for the weekend. The best score from ten (10) different machines will count towards your total points to determine your standing.
No tiebreakers, the tiebreaker will be broken with the highest score on qualified machines (1st 200, 2nd 190, 3rd 189, 188, 187 …).
Finals start at 9:00PM on Saturday, please check the standings in each division if you qualified and be prepared to play on Saturday Night. No substitutes will be allowed in the playoff rounds, no shows will forfeit any winnings.
If there is a malfunction, the tournament director reserves the right to include a machine from the proper era from the YEGPIN Match Play or Free Play Area to fill in the banks for playoffs.
All rules are based off of the IFPA sanctioned full competition ruleset found on the Professional & Amateur Pinball Association website.

Qualifying Hours
Friday 12:00pm (noon) - 10:30pm
Saturday 10:30am - 8:30pm

Playoff information

Playoffs start Saturday at 9:00pm
The top 40 players will qualify will make the playoffs, there will be no substitutions
Places 1-4 will receive a double bye (play in round of 16), places 5-16 will receive a single bye (play in round of 28)
The playoff rounds will be in a 3 game match play style, 4,2,1,0 PAPA scoring.
There will be 12 machines (1 Solid State, 1 EM, 1 Solid State in that order). Substitution may be chosen from VIPE Match Play Championship if needed.
Highest seeded players get the choice of machine or position. Once a group chooses a machine, no other group can pick it. Once the player chooses a machine their group will play the next two after the pick, if there is a tiebreaker they play the next machine after the last one they played. (ex. Player picks #2 machine, then #3, #4 are automatically played, tiebreaker happens on #5).
Positions are locked in after positions are chosen for the machine selected. In other words if you selected 4th, you play forth on all machines. The positions are also locked for tiebreaker game if necessary.
The player that chooses the machine cannot pick ANY of the same machines twice during the entire playoff round.
