Event 1: Target Match Play Tournament of 30 Points with 3/2/1/0 scoring

Friday December 8th, 9am to 5pm

8AM Doors Open for practice and check in. Practice ends at 8:45am for announcements.
9AM Tournament starts

$30 Tournament Fee - 100% gets paid out as prize money for top 8

Tournament will use all 45+ Pinball Machines at the Delaware Pinball Collective. We will try our best to alternate the era of games played on. One round will be LCD/DMD games and the next round will be Classics/EM games. The matchplay software will pick the games played and will match the players up in groups.

This is a Group Match Play Tournament with Swiss pairing and 4 players (3 if necessary) in each group. Scoring is based on player performance for that one machine (3/2/1/0) or (3/1.5/0). This will be added to a running total for the tournament. The first player to reach 30 points is declared the winner and the tournament is over. If multiple players reach the target score on the same round the player with the higher total is the winner. If they are tied a randomly drawn game will be selected for the tiebreaker. Only ties between 1st place will be broken with a 1 game tie breaker for the affected players. No playoffs or finals for this event. Automatic Tiebreakers in the Match Play software will be turned on and will supersede any tie other than a tie for 1st place. A tie for first place will result in a 1 game playoff.

Top 4 will receive Trophies/Plaques/Medals, Top 8 will receive Cash Prizes
