QUALIFYING FORMAT: 5 rounds (2 games per round. One modern and one classic) of 4-player match play qualifying. Top 16 make "A" finals. Places 17th through 32nd make the "B" consolation finals. Everyone else will go to the "C" consolation finals. First 3 rounds will use BALANCED pairing and rounds 4 & 5 will use SWISS pairing. Delaware Tour Championship points will also be awarded!

FINALS FORMAT: Ladder Format until final 2 players, then final 2 players will play head to head in best of 3.

NOTICE - Finals with Flair will be implemented during this event. During the finals, we will be pulling the featured game away from the wall and then setting up 6 bar stools around the game for opponents & spectators to sit to get a front row seat of the finals action. Please be mentally prepared for this as we attempt to take pinball to another level of excitement!

YEAR END DELAWARE TOUR CHAMPIONSHIP FORMAT: After all 6 "tour events" the top 40 players will qualify for the year end championship. In addition to finishing inside the top 40, you must also compete in at least TWO tour events to be eligible. NOTE - The year end Delaware Tour Championship will NOT be IFPA sanctioned.
