Qualification
On Saturday, players can qualify in 4 time slots

Slot 1 10:00 - 12:45
Slot 2 12:45 - 15:30
Slot 3 15:30 - 18:15
Slot 4 18:15 - 21:00


For each slot, a maximum of 60 players can participate. In each time slot, there are 5 groups with a maximum of 12 players each. Within a group, all participants play against each other. The top-ranked player, based on the IFPA ranking as of November 1st 2023, plays second. The players ranked 1, 2, and 3 in each group qualify for the Sunday finals. The 4th-ranked players from each time slot (5 players in total) will compete in a shoot-out on a single machine. Each player gets 2 balls to play. The best final score secures a spot for Sunday. There is no bye in the first round on Sunday. In the event of a tie, we first consider the head-to-head result. If that doesn't provide a clear winner, there is a shoot-out on a machine chosen by the tournament organizers.
