Howdy Everyone!
This Saturday(December 16th) there will be TWO tournaments happening at Schwoegler's. First is the Official Stern Pinball GOTG Launch party. Qualifying goes from 11:00am-~3:30pm and playoffs immediately follows qualifying. This will wrap up in time for the regular monthly tournament that will start at 6pm. This will be a good opportunity to increase your IFPA points, for those looking to move up in the WI standings! Participating in each also gets an entry in the drawing for the Madison Pinball machine giveaway - BONUS! The drawing for your spot in the Final Four will take place after qualifying is complete in the regular monthly (around 8pm). Hope to see you out there! Any questions - feel free to reach out. Thanks all!
GOTG Launch Details:
Every participant arriving between 11:00pm-3:30pm is provided one FREE game on GOTG. If all participants in attendance at any given time have already played their free game, then they are allowed to play additional qualifying attempts ($1 per attempt; Players responsibility to Void any score that is not higher than previous attempt). Priority of play is given to any arriving players that have not yet played their 1st attempt and they will be bumped to the front of the line for all players waiting to play their 2nd+ attempts. Highest score for each player at the end of qualifying is used to determine the final 1-4 Seeds.
Seeds 5-8 will be determined by a separate 3 game ticket that can be optionally purchased for $1. Games will be Aerosmith, Fish Tales and Aztec ($2.50 total if you opt to play the ticket in its entirety). Combined ranking/scores for a single 3 game ticket will be used to rank players for the these additional seeding positions (like a mini- old school PAPA bank). The top four unique finishers on this bank NOT already in the top 4 on GOTG will advance to the playoffs!
Playoff format:
Qualifiers 1-3-5-7 and 2-4-6-8 will play PAPA style 4-player games/ match play across 6 pre-selected games with Launch game as 1 of the games. 4, 3, 2, 1 scoring based on finishing position for each game and combined total used to determine whom advances. Player position on all games for playoff round selected with priority given to higher seed to lower seed. Play position will be maintained for the entire playoff match. When games are open and available for play, each playoff group is required to efficiently play through all games (i.e. multiple games being played simultaneously). Top 2 players from each group advance to finals round. If there is a tie after all games, the player with the higher score on the Launch game in that playoff round advances.
Finals round the remaining 4 players will play PAPA style 4-player games/ match play across 6 pre-selected games with Launch game as the final game.
Prizes: Trophies and prizes provided by Stern Pinball, Madison Pinball and Schwoegler's.
