For THE BEAST Main, Classics, and Women’s Tournaments players can purchase unlimited tickets to play individual games on their respective tournament machines (Herb style format). Each player's best score on each machine is tracked and those scores are ranked against the other competitor's scores on that machine using the Never Drains software. Players receive an aggregate of their machine rankings on their required number of games in each tournament to determine their overall qualifying position. Tickets are priced at 3 for $10, and 7 for $20 (cash sales only at the Event). All money from paid tickets goes into the prize pools. All playoff finalists for THE BEAST Main, Classics and Women’s receive cash prizes based on their finishing position. Additional prizes are given to the top 4 from their respective tournament sponsors. Final payouts are determined by their tournament’s prize pools based on paid entries, which will be updated in real time on Never Drains software on Day 2. In 2023, The Main winner received $3,000, the Classics winner got $2,000! There will also be random prize draws throughout THE BEAST.

THE BEAST Classics Tournament features 12 solid state and EM pinball machines.
Qualifying happens all day Friday and on Saturday until 4pm. Your top scores on 7 different machines determine your ranking. At the end of qualifying Saturday at 4pm, the top 24 players will play in the playoffs to be held later that Saturday afternoon. Top 8 players receive a bye.
