Tournament Overview
Tournament Date: January 17, 2015
Francesco with collaboration of operator and the Owner and the Manager of the place , will have a great day of pinball in this great place .
Cost will be $10 and money will be pay as follow to top 8 :
1st place : 30% , 2nd place : 20% , 3rd and 4th places 15% , 5th to 8th place 5% . Prizes in addition will be offer by Sunshine Laundry and Modern Pinball and possibly given to ALL participants :) !
All machines will be on coin drop
Registration at 11 am and place will open much earlier .
Main tourney will start at 12:30 pm ( late entry will be allowed with 1 stroke penalty if someone gets in for round 2 or 2 strikes penalty if we are on Round 3 , no more people allowed after Round 3 ! ! )
FORMAT (5 Strikes , lose 5 games and you will be out ! )
For this tournament will do a 5 strikes using Brackelope then manually after 4 strikes since the software for now is not supporting 5 strikes . If less than 17 players the last 2 players( or more if needed since might be ties ) will play best of 3 last match meaning a total of 23 games plus eventually 3 in the final match so in any case that will do the 25 games maximize requirement ( also is possible that after the 5 strikes the top 2 or 3 will play one extra game so means 24 plus 1 =25 games ) ! If more than 17 players then no problem since the number is 29 games to be play !
MACHINES SET
All machines will be set same way will be later for the NY State Championship so : Tournament mode, no extra balls , no ball saver , tight tilts with only 2 tilts warning on Stern Machines , 2 or 3 on other machines , few other settings will be changed . This will be a hopefully big try out to the big event in February .
NOTE : Not all machines will be use : machines for example above the floor or on top of the dryer will not be use ! Note also that at anytime a machine could be taken out of the tournament if the games will take too long . Possibly will avoid to have machine play back to back so only one of them will be use !
DELAY
This will be enforce :
Intentional Delay ( waiting because someone Tilt a game before you is NOT delay ! )
No player may delay their game for more than 30 seconds, except to await a ruling or resolution of an environmental inconvenience. Environmental inconvenience is defined as any condition which can reasonably be expected to be resolved quickly, such as unusual noise, lighting problems other than sunlight, or repairs to an immediately adjacent machine.
Intentional delay is defined as time when the player is intentionally making no progress towards in-game objectives, including but not limited to time during which the ball is left in the plunger lane, held on a flipper, or passed from one flipper to another. Stuck balls do not count as intentional delays. Holding one or more ball(s) while one or more ball(s) remain in play does not count as intentional delay.
Intentional delay will result in a warning for the player. If the delay continues or is repeated, tournament coordinators may instruct the player to stop playing, and a score of zero will be recorded for that player.
A player may not intentionally cause a ball search in order to activate any feature of the game.
NO PRACTICE NO PRACTICE on any machines used for Tournament ( not all of them will be use !) after tourney start , you will get a strike penalty !!!
TILT and SLAM TILT
Any player who tilts the ball of another player, either through interference or by tilting through his or her ball so roughly that the next players ball is affected before play continues, will receive a one ball penalty for the offending player. Should this happen on the last ball in play, the offending players score will be adjusted to 80% of the total score for a 5 ball game, or 66% of the total score for a 3 ball game. Tournament officials may grant an exception based on the behavior of the machine in question.
Any player who tilts their own ball, which then results in a tilt warning given to the following player will not have any consequences for the first offense. The player with the warning will be allowed to continue play as normal, or choose to have the ball played on a fresh game. A second offense by the same player anytime throughout the tournament, and it will be treated as a tilt of another players ball, with the rules from the previous paragraph being enforced.
Any player who slam tilts a machine, thereby ending play for all players, will receive a score of zero for that game. The slam tilt is treated as a catastrophic malfunction failure for any other player(s) who have not completed their game(s) in progress. If a tournament official rules that the slam tilt sensor is not functioning properly, the slam tilt will be treated as a catastrophic malfunction for all players.
Any player who deliberately tilts or slam tilts a machine in order to derive some benefit to his or her own play, or the play of others, under these rules, may be ejected from the tournament.
Be careful that in addition ANY player that slam tilt 2 times during the tournament will get 1 loss 1st time and 2 losses the 2nd time !
Also any player that tilt trough for the second time will get a loss automatically !
GAME CONDUCT
-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 !
Be really careful about it since i will use ONLY IFPA Rules
- If a feature/light on a machine is not working keep playing (that feature wont 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
Tournament Director/s will make final decisions!
