Francesco La Rocca with Steven Bowden, Koi Morris and Steven Zahler , is glad to announce : Fall Pinball Charity Event for Pinball Outreach Project in New Jersey at Silverball Pinball Musem Hall of Fame
All machines will be on free play
Registration at 11:00 am
Main tourney will start at 12:00 pm
Side tourney will start at 2:30 pm ( even if Main tourney is not done yet , I will stop Main Tourney !!)
This tournament is considered annual by IFPA - International Flipper Pinball Association,
so will be a full value IFPA WPPR points for Main Event and will have a Side tourney worth of half value IFPA WPPR points

Cost : Main tourney is $ 20 (half of the money will go to charity ) with lots of Prizes . Side tourney : $ 5 (all money will go to charity )
Main Tourney will use Brackelope tournament with 4 strikes in a 2 out of 3 match with 2 players on same machine ( lose 4 times and you will be out of tourney ) . Note :When paired players each have 1 or more strikes, then they will play a single game rather than 2 out of 3 (1 strikes vs 2 , 2 vs 2 , 1 vs 3 will be a single game match ! )
Side tourney will use also Brackelope Knockout 4 strikes match play with 3 or 4 players per group where on each match the winner will have no strikes but the other players will get 1 strike ( all money of side tourney will go to benefit Pinball Outreach Project )

All machines will play as they are and where is possible will be put in tournament mode and no extra balls ( even if you get an extra balls that MUST be plunged or lose the match ! )
- For this tournament we will use all machines but EM'S so you can play those at all times unless one or more of those machines will be used for Main or Side tourney and announced .
- This tournament will be based on 3 balls per game so even if you get an extra ball on ball 1 then the extra ball will count as ball 2 and you will play it. Ball 2 originally will become ball 3 and after that ball you will have your final score meaning that even if you have 5 more extra balls they won't count at all ( no plunge for more points ! ) .
- No practice on any machines used for Main or Side after tourney start , you will get a strike penalty !!!
-Tilting someone else ball will result in a one ball penalty for the offender (, in other word if you are in ball 1 and tilt next player then you won't play ball 3 , if that happened on ball 3 than 33% of the final score will be deducted ! ) . The player whose ball was tilted will wait until their turn is up again will finish his game and/or play an additional ball in another game ( in any case no game will be restart unless Slam Tilt ) .

-Slam tilting a game in progress will result in a loss !
-If you ask how to play a game while you are playing your ball you will get a warning or even a loss ! Ask before or after !
-Bang backs and death saves are not allowed.
-Ball stuck : call the officers we have the keys !
- If a feature/light on a machine is not working keep playing (that feature won't work for all other players !)
- If a machine reset then all players will repeat the game
- If a machine breaks beyond repair then the players will play an alternate machine

-playing someone else ball (playing out of turn) Will result in a warning unless the other player will be able to catch up . If not then he will finish his game and play 1 more ball in another game . The other player will receive a penalty of 10% deducted from his final score ! On side tourney you might get a loss automatically .
