Main Event Qualifying Day 2

Saturday February 17th, 2024
8AM Doors Open for Practice
9AM Tournament Starts
4:30PM Projected End Time

The field of players is divided into 3 groups. Division A/B and Novice. All of your matches on this day will be within your division. A & B carries points from Day 1 with seeding based on accumulated points from Day 1 to start. Novice Division starts fresh with no points and seeding is IFPA rank to start or random if not available. Each round will consist of your 4 player (3 player when necessary) group playing a 3 game bank each round. We will play 4 rounds total (12 Games Total), tiered swiss pairings, player order will be pre-selected or highest seed getting first choice of order on first game then 4th place gets to choose order first on next game then 3rd place, etc. Each bank will consist of a classics pin (1985 and older non DMD style), Mid Game (1981-1995) and a modern pin (1994 DMD or LCD game). You will play each game one at a time (Not Multi-Match). Once you finish all 3 games you turn in your sheet or upload results. You will get 3/2/1/0 or 3/1.5/0 scoring on each game. So a maximum of 9 points per round.

A Division Finals Players

Top 24 Players make the A Division Finals.
Automatic Tiebreakers are turned on and will be used to seed the field.
Exception will be for 8th and 24th place will not use the Automatic Tiebreakers. All players tied with the same amount of accumulated points for the 8th and 24th positions will have a 1 GAME tiebreaker to determine who gets a bye and/or who gets into the final and who doesn’t. This 1 GAME tiebreaker is significant and will result in the final placing for all players who finish 25th or worse in the tournament. Game itself will be chosen by the tournament director and order of play will use the automatic tiebreaker finishing position with the higher seed getting last available order spot. Example: We have 10 players with the same amount of points who finish from 21st-30th in qualifying. They all get to play a 1 GAME tiebreaker. The order of play will be 30th goes first, 29th goes 2nd, 28th goes 3rd, etc. The highest score in the tiebreaker gets 21st seed & moves onto finals, 2nd highest gets 22nd seed & moves on, 3rd highest 23rd seed, 4th highest 24th seed. Then the rest of the group is out of the tournament with their final finishing position being determined by that tiebreaker. 5th highest would be 25th place, 6th highest would be 26th place, etc. all the way to 30th place.
This tiebreaker will also be significant for the 8th place position. Example: we have a 6 way tie for 8th place (8,9,10,11,12,13). Based on the Tiebreaker game the winner would get the 1st round bye, 2nd/3rd/4th/5th would be seeded 9th/10th/11th/12th and get a bank choice in round 1. The person that finished 6th in this example tiebreak would be seeded 13th in the main final with no choice of bank.

B & Novice Division Finals Players

Top 16 Players Make the B & Novice Division Finals. Automatic Tiebreakers are turned on and will be used to seed the field. Exception will be 16th place. That position will have a 1 GAME Playoff from the Classic Group of games. This one game will be significant and result in the final position for those players that don’t make it into the final. Example: We have 3 players ties at 15th place. After tiebreaker game winner would be placed 15th, 2nd would be placed 16th, 3rd would be place 17th. Game will be selected by the tournament director.  Final field will then be set for Sunday.

Event 3: 8 Strikes Classics Fair Strike Knockout

Saturday February 17th, 2024
5PM Projected Start Time
Midnight Projected End Time

This Knockout Tournament is an 8 Strike Classics Tournament played in groups of 4 (3 when necessary).
Only the games from roughly 1985 and older will be used (Non-DMD games this is the B group at District 82 Pinball)
Random Seeding to start, then Swiss Style. Games drawn randomly.
Groups of 4 will play against each other on a single machine
1st Place No Strike, 2nd and 3rd Place 1 Strike, 4th Place 2 Strikes
3 player matches (as needed) 1st Place No Strike, 2nd Place 1 Strike, 3rd Place 2 Strikes
2 player matches (as needed) 1st Place No Strike, 2nd Place 2 Strikes
Once a player has 8 strikes they are out of this tournament
The tournament continues until there is one player remaining.
A tie for first place will result in a 1 GAME Tie Breaker randomly chosen by the tournament director. Ties between 2nd-8th position will be broken with a 1 Game game tie breaker for the affected players to determine the trophy and/or cash received. The game will be selected by tournament director and be a classic game for the tiebreaker. When reporting this to IFPA for points those ties will be reported as such except a tie for 1st place. 1st Place is significant and will be reported as a win and not a tie. No playoffs or finals.

Top 4 trophies, Top 8 cash prizes

Main Event Finals

Sunday February 18th, 2023
8AM Doors Open Practice
9:15AM Start Time
5PM Projected End Time

All 3 divisions will be using the same games in the finals. These will be roughly half the games inside of District 82. Rows 5-8, AC1 & AC2. Choice of game banks will start with Division A, then go to Division B then go to Novice Division for each round. So we will wait to start a new round after all 3 Divisions have completed there games each round.

No practicing on the games in any of the finals banks at all on Sunday. This includes people whom are not in the playoffs as well.

We will start finals for A Division Round 1, Then B Division Round 1, Then Novice Division Round 1. All the finals will be running at the same time in the same area of District 82.

A Division

Top 24 Players from the Main Event Qualifying will play in the Finals. No points carry over from qualifying. If someone doesn’t show up the 25th or next highest person from qualifying available will take there place. The format will consist of 4 rounds of 3 game banks. Top 8 qualifiers get a 1st round bye. Groupings for first round will be (9th, 16th, 17th, 24th), (10th, 15th, 18th, 23rd), (11th, 14th, 19th, 22nd), (12th, 13th, 20th, 21st) Games will be played one at a time. High seed in each group will get choice of Bank and Order on 1st game. Subsequent games the order choice is reversed with 4th place getting to pick first, then 3rd place next, etc. The games that are in the banks will be similar or the same as the ones used in qualifying but will have 1 classic, 1 mid, and 1 modern pin in each bank. The banks will be the same round to round in finals so once the high seed chooses a final bank that same person cannot choose that bank again for the rest of the tournament. Also, once a bank is selected it is out for that round so other players may not choose that same bank that round. If a game goes down during finals and cannot be fixed that high seed in that group gets to pick a new game of the same era to play from any of the available games in the finals area that does not have another group playing on it. If there is tie that needs to be broken the higher seed involved in the tie gets choice to pick game or order on the game. Any game from the finals area, from any era, may be played as the tiebreaker game. The other player then gets to choose order first. Scoring will be 4/2/1/0 for each of the 3 games. Top 2 advance bottom 2 are eliminated.

The 8 Eliminated players from 1st round will ranked 17th-24th according to how many points they accumulated in this round. Ties will not be broken.

In the Quarterfinal Round, the players advancing from the previous round will be reseeded according to their original ranks and divided into four groups as follows.

16 Players

Group 1:  1    8    9   16
Group 2:  2   7   10  15
Group 3:  3   6   11  14
Group 4:  4   5   12  13

The 8 eliminated players will be ranked 9th-16th according to the accumulated points in this round. Ties will not be broken.

For the Semifinal Round, the 8 players advancing will be divided into two groups of four. The groups will be organized according to the original qualifying rank as shown here:

8 Players

Group 1:   1    4   5   8
Group 2:   2   3   6   7

The 4 eliminated players from this round will be ranked from 5th-8th based on the accumulated points from this round. Ties will not be broken.

The four remaining players advance to the final round. The final round is conducted in the same manner as the Semifinal Round. The total scores for this round will determine the ordering of the winners. All ties in the final round are considered significant and will be broken with a 1 game playoff. The final reporting of points to IFPA will show 1st-4th place with no ties.

Top 4 Trophies/Plaques and Top 24 Cash Prizes

B & Novice Division

These will be conducted the same as above except only 3 rounds in total as no one has a bye. They will start at the quarterfinals section above and continue on to the end.

Top 4 Trophies/Plaques and Top 16 Cash Prizes in each division

Split Flipper Tournament, Head to Head, 3 Strike Knockout

Sunday February 18th, 2024
8AM Doors Open Practice
9AM Start Time

This tournament is for anyone who did not make the finals. If you made the finals you are not allowed to play in this tournament. This is just for fun and it is not IFPA sanctioned.
We will use roughly 1/2 (Depends on Player Count) of the games inside District 82 for this tournament. These games will also double as the free play area for everyone to play on during the day. The finals for the Main Event are using the rest.
Split Flipper uses a 2 person team to compete. Teams will most likely be selected by IFPA rank in a ‘Slaughter’ manner. This means that the highest ranked person with be paired with the lowest ranked person. The 2nd highest ranked person will be paired with the 2nd lowest ranked person, etc.
Split Flipper is played with one person playing the left flipper(s) and one person playing the right flipper(s) at the same time
Any and all advice will be permitted between teammates while they are playing.
Once the teams are selected the tournament will begin.
I am going to use Matchplay software for this tournament and will enter each team name as just both of your names and NO IFPA ID associated with it.
Format will be a 3 strike knockout, head to head matchups.
So we will have 4 players (2 teams of 2 players each at each game)
Your team will either win or lose your game
Winners advance with no strike, losers advance but 1 strike is given.
Once your team receives 3 strikes you’re out of the tournament
Tournament continues until we have a winner. If we have a tie for 3rd/4th place another game will be played to break that tie

Trophies/Plaques for Top 4 teams
