This is the signup and information page for PFC Beat the Blahs!

The tournament will take place on Saturday February 24th at Maple Pinball. Doors at 10 AM, the tournament will start at 11 AM.

Cost of the tournament is $40. This includes a $20 donation in support of the Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital, $1 IFPA Fee and $19 Host/Food fee. Food will be delivered at 1:00 pm. Maple has a water cooler for drinks, and we would appreciate you bringing a refillable bottle to cut down on waste or BYOB.

Tournament format is Max Match Play, with 22 games being played by each player. Playoffs will be Amazing Race format, with the bottom player on each game being eliminated. There will be a list of games being used revealed in the Amazing Race the week before the tournament. If we get at least 48 players, the playoffs will be Group Match Play, banks of 4 games, top 2 advance each time.

If everything works out according to plan, this tournament should be worth somewhere between 40-50 WPPR points, a pretty big deal if you're trying to make provincials. Or even if you're just trying to have fun.

Everyone who fills out this form will receive an email by the Wednesday before the tournament with all relevant details.
