This tournament is part of the Ice Ice Playfield 2025 series! More information on the series here: https://www.thelowerplayfield.com/series/
The annual love celebration is back with a twist. We’ll start by mixing everyone up in balanced pairs through 8 rounds of 4-player (or 3-player if a not full tournament) match play games alternating between long plays and short plays. After 8 games of pinball, we’ll move the top 16 on to fast group strike knockout tournament. In this format, pairings are initially seed order for round 1, swiss from round 2 on. Players will be put into 3 and 4 player groups on balanced drawn games. The bottom 2 players will each receive a strike in 3 and 4 player groups, where in a 2 player group only the bottom player receives a strike. We’ll continue like that until only one player remains, and they will be our champion!
Capped at 32 players, registration starts Jan. 11th.
We expect that the qualifying rounds of Match Play to take roughly 3.5 hours, the tournaments for the top 16 to take about 3 hours to crown a champion.
