An all-day pinball tournament at our house in Brunswick, for the (unlucky) thirteenth time. AND it's a costume party. Spooky! Dress as your favourite pinball-related thing to guarantee entry.

We'll be utilising an exciting new three-phase format. Shorter qualifying, more finals!

It'll kickoff at midday with Target Match Play. 7-4-2-0 scoring with NO bonus point. The first 13 players to hit the 50-point target move on. Players no longer participate in qualifying once they've reached or surpassed this target.

The 13 qualifiers then play a head-to-head round robin using Max Match Play. The top 4 players at the end of this phase advance to sudden-death ladder finals.

Doors open for practice at 10:30am ahead of the tournament, which starts at midday sharp.

We'll take a lunch break around 2:30. The barbecue will be going, weather permitting. Bring a plate to share, or wander up the street for some takeaway. BYO booze, if that's your thing.

All entry fees returned as cash prizes for the top 4 finishers, split 50%-25%-15%-10%.
