Overall

Pinball league play. We took rules (and some players) from Chicago Pinball Mafia. There are 6 games played every night, scores recorded, and rank determined. Playoff based on year standing happens in November.
From the rule sheet:

-Players are expected to attend all 8 monthly events and RSVP via Evite (+guest count, if applicable).

-Players must complete 6 events to be eligible forNovember playoffs.

-Each event will be made up of 6 rounds, 1 game will be played per round.

-Players who do not attend an event will receive 0 points for all 6 rounds.

-Alternate Players attending an entire event but unable to compete due to capacity will receive 24 points

for the event.

-Players who are not in attendance at the start of any round will receive 0 points for the round.

-Players will play in the order noted on the score sheet for each round.

-Players will be awarded points in each round as follows for finishing with highest scores to lowest:

4-player games will be

awarded 10, 8, 6, 4

3-player games will be

awarded 10, 7, 4

2-player games will be

awarded 10, 4

-Players will be ranked by totaling

scores from all events.

-Players participating in 3 or more meetings will have their lowest total event score dropped.

-Players with the 8 highest cumulative scores will be in the A-division. (See tie-brake procedures for ties)

-All players not in A-division will be in the B-division.

-1 Upset Bonus Point will be awarded to a B player defeating an A player, maximum of 2 per round.

-B-division Players will be eligible to earn Upset points after participating in 2 events.

-Static matchups will be used for every event based on the number of players attending. The change in

matchups will be driven by player movement between ranks instead of randomly generating matchups

every month.
