Bang backs and death saves are not allowed.
Format: Head to head; best two out of 3; double elimination.
Each loser from the main bracket will go to a second chance bracket
for another match, with the winner of that bracket going to a final
match against the winner of the main bracket.
In order for the player from the losers' bracket to win the tournament
that player will have to defeat the player from the winners' bracket
two matches (thus givinig that player their double elimination).
First, second and third place will be decided by the double
elimination. All other players will be put into a quick playoff round
to determine fourth place.
Initial brackets will be seeded by a one-ball qualifier. Competitors
ariving to the tournament too late for qualifying will be given lower
seeds.
We expect to have between 8 - 12 games for the tournaments.
I will be running the tournaments but will not compete in them.

Another tournament will be held in the DC area on Sunday, the Maryland
Pinball Championship.
This will be held at Town Hall Liquors in College Park, Maryland, on
Sunday, August 1.

I hope to see many of you at the tournaments.

If you have any questions, please contact me by email or post here.

In the main tournament competitors deemed too skilled to play in the B
division will be placed in the A division.
This includes but is not limited to players who have won pinball
tournaments in the past and players who have been successful in

Only one week until the tournaments.

main tournaments and first and second in classics.
