* Top 24 players will advance to the finals.
* Ties for 8th (bye) & 24th place (to make finals) will be broken by a single game playoff on a machine to be drawn at random. All other finals positions/seedings will be broken by Original IFPA seed.


FINALS:

* Top 24 players will advance to Group Matchplay finals, with the Top 8 players receiving a first-round bye. IFPA scoring will be used.
* For each round, the Top seeded player of the Group will be able to select 2 machines, which will be played in Games 1 & 3 of the round, while the 2nd Top seed will have machine selection for Game 2. No player may select the same game more than once in the same round, and machines must be chosen from what is available at the time of selection.
* Player order for the first game of a match is decided in order by the Top to bottom seed. The 4th-placed player from the first game will then get first choice of order for the subsequent match, then the 3rd place, and so on.
* The Top 2 players in each group will advance to the next round, with the above process continuing until there is one clear winner.
