Overall

Willkommen zu unserem "PU Challenge IFPA Turnier" in unserer PU Challenge Area.
Wir werden an diesem Termin erstmalig ein 12-Strike Knockout (Head-to-Head) spielen, bis nur noch 12 Spieler übrig sind, die dann ins Finale weiterkommen (Sollten nach einer Runde weniger als 12 Spieler übrig bleiben, so kommen alle mit ins Finale, die in der letzten Runde einen Strike kassiert haben)
Beginn des Turniers ist um 11 Uhr.
Jeder Teilnehmer startet mit 12 Leben, es wird rundenbasiert zu zweit head-to-head gespielt, eine Niederlage kostet ein Leben.
Hat man all seine Leben verloren, scheidet man aus und kann sich in unserem großen Showroom/Freispielbereich aufhalten.
Gegen 14 Uhr machen wir eine 1-stündige Mittagspause.
Wir gehen davon aus, dass die ersten Spieler nach ca. 16 Runden ausscheiden werden und die Gewinner ca. 28 Runden spielen werden.
Die Rundendauer wird erfahrungsgemäß maximal 20 Minuten betragen.
Im Finale spielen wir ein Amazing Race, bei dem alle Teilnehmer 1 Flipper spielen, wobei der Spieler, der den letzten Platz belegt ausscheidet.
Dies wiederholen wir an unterschiedlichen Flippern, bis nur noch 1 Spieler (Gewinner) übrig ist.

Welcome to our "PU Challenge IFPA Tournament" in our PU Challenge Area.
For the first time we will play a 12-Strike Knockout Tournament (Head-to-Head) until 12 players remain and advance to the finals (If after a round less than 12 players remain, all players that got their last strike in the last round are added to the finals).
The tournament starts at 11 am.
Each participant starts with 12 lives, the game is round-based and played head-to-head in pairs, a defeat costs one life.
If you lose all your lives, you are eliminated and can stay in our large showroom/free play area.
We take a 1-hour lunch break at around 2 pm.
We assume that the first players will be eliminated after about 16 rounds and the winner will play about 28 rounds.
Experience has shown that the rounds will last a maximum of 20 minutes.
In the Finals we play an Amazing Race with all participants playing 1 machine, with the player finishing in last place being eliminated.
This will be repeated on different machines until only 1 player (winner) remains.
