Our 8th Annual Pingolf Fundraiser is destined to be held on the greenest and lushest carpet in the pinball nation. Come and match your skills against 18 of the most challenging pin holes in pinball.

Advancing to Finals
At the end of the last group’s round, the lowest scores will be calculated. The top 16 players will go to finals.
In the event that two or more players are tied on the qualifying bubble, such that not all of the tied players can advance to the final rounds, a tiebreaking procedure will be utilized. A single game will be played on a machine selected by tournament officials from the qualifying bank of games. The tied players will play, in randomly determined order, in a multiplayer game on the selected machine, and will subsequently be ranked in the order of their Pin-Golf scores on that game. If more players are tied than the selected machine will support in a single game, multiple games will be played to accommodate all tied players, in randomly determined order, and the resulting scores will be compared as if they had occurred in a single game on the same machine.
Player groups in a tiebreaker will be arranged breadth-first so that each group is of similar, but descending, size. For example, five players will be arranged as a group of three and a group of two, rather than a group of four and a solo player. Nine players would be arranged as three groups of three.
In the event that two or more players are tied but are not on the qualifying bubble, a random tiebreak procedure will be implemented to assign players to groups. Under no circumstances will players be given a choice of groups at any time.
Final Rounds
Half the field of players will be divided into groups not exceeding 4 players. Each group will play three separate games, each game on a different machine from among those available in the tournament.
In the case of 8 players:
Group A – #1, #8, #3, #6 seeds
Group B – #2, #7, #4, #5 seeds

In the case of 16 players, further groups:
Group C – #9, #16, #11, #14 seeds
Group D – #10, #12, #13, #15 seeds

Each four-player game will be played and scored using the same Pin-Golf scoring used in the qualifying rounds. A minimum score per finals round is 3 strokes, and a maximum score per finals round is 30 strokes.
The group that contains the highest-seeded player gets first choice of machine and order of play. The highest-seeded player within each group may choose either the machine to be played, or the order of play. If the highest-seeded player chooses order of play, the remaining players may choose their order, in descending order of seeding, and choice of machine then goes to the next highest-seeded player in the group. Conversely, if the highest-seeded player chooses the machine to be played, then the next highest-seeded player chooses the order of play, with the remaining players choosing order of play in decreasing order of seeding. Once a player verbally announces their game choice, or chooses position, that decision cannot be changed.
If at any point a high-seed player declines to make a choice, the choice is deferred to the next highest-seeded player, as appropriate. The affected group still retains its order of choice among groups, however. If no player in a group will make a choice, the choice(s) are determined by tournament officials, who may or may not choose randomly.
Note that the original seeding of players when entering the final rounds from qualifying is used in every round. At no time does a player’s seeding change from round to round; therefore the advantage of qualifying in first place can be significant.
