Pinball competition format
Brackelope
GENERAL INFORMATION:
1. Registration and warm up 5.00 - 6.30 sharp.
2. Information and questions from players 6.30 - 6.40.
3. Competition #1: 6.40-8.15.
Competition #2: 8.15-9.45.
Competition #3: 9.45-11.15.
4. We are running three competitions on the night. So you can go whenever you like. Stay for all three or just play in one. There will probably be 10 - 12 machines in use on the night.
5. Each comp will be a two strike knockout format using matchplay events. Each comp will have a slightly different format to make it interesting.
6. For each round in each comp you will be allocated an opponent and a machine to play one game on. Whoever loses that game has one strike. You stay in the comp until you lose two matches (two strikes). With this format you get a second chance and as the comp goes quickly if you get knocked out you can play in another comp on the night.
7. ENTRY FEE: $25
8. On the night players should have their IFPA # ready, to save time. Just Google IFPA and your name to get your # if you have one.
9. Simon reserves the right to change the format. For example: to make the competition go faster he may change the arena draw to manual to save time if machines are vacant. But the knockout format is what we will run by.
