Titletown Pinball Matchplay and Knockout Tournament June 23

Post by Ekthoren »

This is the Launch Party tournament for Titletown Pinball. 2 separate tournaments on same day. Same format as Tom's Appleton Matchplay and 3 strike knockout tournament he just did in April. This is basically my personal collection that I have moved to a commercial location so I can run a weekday league and monthly tournaments from. This is only open for league and tournaments. Everything is on Free Play.

The website has more details here:

Titletown MatchPlay Format:

The Format will consist of 13 Rounds of Play in groups of 4 players (3 players if necessary).

One game will be played per round per group.

Scoring will be 7-5-3-1/7-4-1

First round will be random seeding.

Subsequent rounds will be seeded using a Tiered Swiss Seeding. Players are grouped into tiers that narrow as the tournament progresses. Later rounds will see players with the most points accumulated playing each other.

Since the tournament is direct play, there is no playoff. The winner is the player with the most points after all 13 rounds have been completed.

All games will be drawn randomly.

Should there be a tie for first place, another game shall be played as a tiebreaker.

Top 8 Trophies/Top 3 Prizes




Titletown Strikeout Tournament:

The Titletown Strikeout Tournament is a 3 Strike Tournament played in groups of 4 (3 when necessary).

Random Seeding to start. Swiss Style. Games drawn randomly.

Groups of 4 will play against each other on a single machine

The 2 players with the lowest scores in a group will receive a strike (3rd, 4th Place in the match)

3 player matches (as needed) lowest score (3rd Place) will receive a strike.

Once a player has 3 strikes and you are out of the tournament.

The tournament continues until there is one player remaining.

Top 8 Trophies/Top 3 Prizes.


This is going to be a really fun tournament and I know you all will like the new venue. Eric Strangeway is going to help me out as co-director of this event since its my first real tournament that I am hosting.

Big thanks to Erik for running an awesome first tournament. Unbelievable collection. The games played excellent and what a variety of titles. The BBQ pulled pork from Joe was amazing. The tourney ran smooth all day, largely because Erik is such a nice laid back guy, and it followed in his tourney as well.

Thanks Eric and Tim!
I had a great time too! Tournament did run smooth and I’m going to be hosting at least 1 per month from here on out. Joe and Susan will be doing the food for most events coming up too :-) lots of compliments on the pulled pork—and I think everyone is bored with pizza. Just keep an eye here or on the TitleTown website for upcoming events!
