Start of the Period and Gameplay
Each period is one-hour and fifteen minutes long. 3 periods are played. 15 minutes breaks between each period; 15 minute breaks start as soon as the timer for the period ends.

To start each period, players are paired up using Matchplay software. Also at the start of each period, a cue of players is determined. Number of players in the cue is determined by dividing the total number of players signed up by 5. (Ex. 40 players sign up. 32 play; 8 players in the cue). 40 players maximum. Players in the cue at the end of the 1st or 2nd period, will be player 1 at a machine in the following period. 16 machines maximum. Less than 16 machines may be used per period when less than 32 playing. Machines are subject to change during the period and between periods.

Play starts simultaneously when the period timer starts. The Winner of each head to head game reports their win. The loser of the game becomes player 2 and the person in the front of the cue becomes player 1. The Winner joins the back of the cue. Players from the front of the cue will always be player 1. If player 2 loses again on the same machine, both players join the back of the cue (player 2 is at the back of the cue). The play continues this way until the timer for the period runs out.

End of the Period
When the timer for the period ends, no new games will be started. At the end of a period, it’s a shared decision between each pair of head to head competitors if they wish to continue or end their current match. The 3rd period is over when all games have finished and winners have reported their wins. Player with the most wins, wins the Flip Frenzy.

The top 8 players with the most wins after 3 periods will play in PAPA format finals. Ties for the top 8, if any, will be broken via one ball playoff on a random game.
