Event 2: 10 Strike Progressive Knockout

Friday March 21st, 2025
5PM-Midnight

You will play in groups of 4 players, or 3 players when necessary, random seeding to start, then swiss style pairing thereafter. You will get 0/1/2/3 strikes per round (1 game per round). Once you receive 10 strikes you are out of the tournament. We will alternate between Moderns and Classics for each round. Your final position will be determined by the round and number of strikes you have. For example, if you go into a round with 8 strikes and someone else in a different group goes into the round with 7 strikes and you both get 4th place adding 3 strikes to your total then the first player would have 11 strikes and finish behind the person who ended the same round with only 10 strikes.

A tie for first place will result in a 1 game tie breaker picked randomly by the tournament director. The game will be randomly picked from the era of games opposite of the final round. For example, if the tournament ends on Classics and we have a tie for 1st place, the tiebreaker will be selected from Moderns. Ties between 2nd-8th position will be broken with a 1 game tie breaker on Stars for the affected players to determine the trophy and/or prize money received. When reporting this to IFPA for points those ties will be reported as such except a tie for 1st place. 1st Place is significant and will be reported as a win and not a tie. No playoffs or finals.

Top 4 will get trophies/plaques/medals, Top 8 will receive prize money
