League Format
The league format will be 6 games of match play pinball each night. You’ll be placed into 4 (or possibly 3) player groups and the result of each game will award points (7,5,3,1 for 1st through 4th respectively) which will accumulate through the night for a meeting total. Players may miss up to two of the 6 meetings, take a zero score for those meetings, and drop those scores from the results. Players who play 5 or 6 meetings will have the opportunity to drop their two lowest played meeting totals. Players who play in fewer than 3 meetings will not be included in the final results. Finals for the top qualifiers will be the same format but 3 games per round with 4,2,1,0 scoring. Anyone that doesn’t qualify in the top 8, has paid dues for the season and made at least 2 meetings, is eligible for the strikes consolation tournament on finals night. There are always payouts, a trophy and occasionally prizes for the consolation event so it’s worth attending!
