Eight (8) Sessions are scheduled for 2.5 hour time slots\, and each player may choose to sign up for whatever sessions works with their schedule.\nBest 4 of 8 sessions count towards your final ranking.\nRequire 8 registered players to have a round\nGame scoring IFPA 7/5/3/1 or 7/4/1 for 3 player groups.\nFive rounds per session. The first round will have random groups\, and the following rounds will use SWISS-pairing.\n.\nEntry fees per session (no refunds) –\nA division players (ranked 1 – 1\,300) cost $10 per session.\nB division players (ranked 1\,301 – new players) cost $5 per session\nPlayers IFPA rank as of the first day of the event will be used\nPlayers are encouraged to pre-register for qualifying sessions.\nNo refunds\n.\nRegistration –\nPlayers will register at the tournament desk for whatever session(s) they choose.\nPlayers may register for a session before the day begins or between rounds for a following session in the 4 day event. Pre-registration is encouraged\, but not required\, however registration for a session will cut off 5-10 minutes before it begins (or if the session sells out).\nLists of registered players will not be available until their respective rounds begin.\nRanking –\nRankings will be determined by the total pointage of a player’s best four sessions combined together.\nAny additional sessions that aren’t being used in a player’s ranking will be used for tie-breaking purposes.\nB division tickets do not restrict upward movement\, so\, for example\, a player who’s B eligible can still qualify for A division if their scores are high enough.\nTop 24 players qualify for main division playoffs with 48 players. Top 16 32 – 47 players.\nTop 8 B eligible players who did not qualify A division will instead qualify for B division prizing.\nPlayers can check qualifying standings on the MatchPlay Series page\, or to see with tie breakers and B division.\n.\nSchedule –\nQualifying rounds start times –\nFriday: (#1) 4:00pm (#2) 6:45pm\, and (#3) 9:15pm\nSaturday: (#4) 11:15am\, (#5) 1:45pm\, (#6) 4:45pm\, (#7) 7:45pm\nSunday: ( #8 ) 11:30am \nIf for some reason a qualifying session runs past its allocated time slot and beyond the start time of another session\, the next session will be delayed until the first one finishes.\nIf a round ends unusually early or does not occur due to low participation\, another round may be added to fill a time slot. \nA finals start on Sunday at 2:45pm.\nB finals start on Sunday at 3:15pm. \nTies –\nSignificant ties (to make it into finals) will be played off on a randomly selected EM or SS game\, with the winner of that game being the winner of the tie breaker at the conclusion of the last session Sunday.\nTies for other positions in main division will be determined by whichever player has the higher ranking on their next highest ranking session that is not contributing to their standings. (ex. Both players in the tie have 60 total points from their best four rounds. Player one played a fifth round in which they got 14\, player two played a fifth round in which they got 12. Player one would win the tiebreaker. If a player does not have results for an additional session it will be as if that player’s additional session was a 0.\nIf the tied players also tie in their additional sessions\, then whichever player had the single highest scoring session will win the tiebreaker.\nIn the extremely rare case that both players have the exact same scores across all qualifying attempts\, the tie will be broken by a one ball playoff on an EM.\n.\nFINALS\nGeneral information –\nA and B Division finals begin Sunday at 2:45pm and 3:15pm respectively.\nA and B Finals are played in 4-player PAPA scoring (4\, 2\, 1\, 0)\nFour player games are scored with 1st earning 4 points\, 2nd earning 2 points\, 3rd earning 1 point\, and 4th receiving 0 points.\nThe top two players from each group will advance to the next round.\nIf there is a tie in point totals for the top two players in a group\, the tied players will play off on a randomly selected game. Play order selection will be based on seeding.\n.\nPlayoff Game Selection: Banks and can not repeat the same bank. \nFinal Standings –\nFinal standings for people who were eliminated in the same round as each other will be determined by the points players earned in the round they were eliminated in.\n.\nPrize Pool (subject to change if low entries occur):\nPrize pool pays out 100% of the entry less IFPA fees and $75 to go towards NACS and WNACS Provincials winner. \nPot to be split 75% to A and 25% to B. \nDivision A top 8 players: 1st 35%\, 2nd 20% 3rd 15% 4th 10% and 5th – 8th 5% each. \nDivision B top 4 players: 1st 40%\, 2nd 25%\, 3rd 20% and 4th 15%. \nAll other rules and procedures for anything gameplay related are based on IFPA PAPA rules found here https://www.ifpapinball.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/PAPA_IFPA-Complete-Competition-Rules-2024.02.pdf \nAll or any Rules\, procedures\, and regulations can be changed before tournament start time on Friday. \nTournament timing –\nThis tournament operates on a tight schedule and although we build in tolerances for rounds going long\, extreme cases may arise that cause a round to run overtime.
