Pintoberfest 3 - Season of the ball (10 Spots left!!)

Pingolf tourney & league style play capped at 48 players

Pintoberfest 2015 is on. This will be on October 3, 2015. We are running this at Pinball Wizard Arcade in Pelham, NH from Noon-11pm.

Pinball Wizard Arcade opens at 10am, and signups are cut off at 11:30am (sharp). So please get there as early as possible. If you do not check in ( text, email, on site ) by 11:30 m you will be out.

This tourney is going to be limited to the first 48 people ( first come, first serve ). Your PayPal payment will hold your spot. You can PayPal me at [email protected]. Please be sure to send funds as Friends or family, so there are no fees charged on either side. Also leave in the notes your full name.

The main event will be a combination of PinGolf, and League Style play ( 5-3-2-1 scoring ). The Golf scoring will be backwards in order to be compatible with league scoring. (hole in one = 3, on 2nd ball = 2, on 3rd ball = 1 not at all = 0).

The cost of Pintoberfest is $40. $30 goes towards the main tournament, and $10 towards the side classics tourney.

We will start off with a 9 hole course of Golf (random 3/4 player groupings - doesn't matter as you are playing as individuals). Then with the PinGolf results we can seed for the league style play. We will then break up into the 3/4 player groups based on seedings, and play a round of league style play ( 4 games ), once those scores come in, they will be added to the original Golf scores, and we will seed one more time for another round of league style play. Once again we will break up into the 3/4 player groups based on seedings, and play a round of league style play ( 4 games ). Once those scores come in we will add up the Golf, round 1 league style play, round 2 league style play scores. The top 8 will move on.

The top 8 will be broken into 2 (4) player groups, they will play league style on 4 games. The top 4 will move on in the money, but will play 1 more round of 4 to determine order. If there are any ties that will prevent a top 4, we will break ties on one of the classic machines that can be randomly picked. There will be cash prizes and handmade trophies ( made by James Calcia ).

EXTRA BALLS WILL NOT BE PLAYED...just plunged in all events. If you run into a game where plunging doesn't seem possible ( as if you plunge over and over, and no switches get hit), you are allowed a single flipper hit. No trapping and taking a shot, just a slap of the flipper to make a switch it, then let it drain.

Prize breakdown will be based on what entries fees that are collected –
1st place = 40% of the pot
2nd place 30% of the pot
3rd place 15% of the pot
4th place = 10% of the pot
(5% withheld to cover costs or trophies, supplies).
MAX POT = 48 * $30 – 5% holdback = $1368

There will also the side tourney that consists of 4 classic games. You get one shot with your highest score. You must have you sheet validated by an official or another player.

This will have the same payout style as the main tournament:
1st place 40% of the classics pot
2nd place 30% of the classics pot
3rd place 15% of the classics pot
4th place 10% of the classics pot
(5% withheld to cover costs or trophies, supplies).
MAX POT = 48 * $10 – 5% holdback = $456

WPPR points are awarding for the main tourney.

So please arrive early to signup, and warm up. We will have some breaks during calculations in scoring, and may put in a break for dinner (time permitting).

There is a sub shop, Chinese, Subway, and a Micky D's all right nearby. I imagine the scoring breaks may be like around 15-30 minutes, not a bad time to grab a quick bite (call ahead so it will be ready when you are ready). We want to make sure we keep things moving, as we have to finish this out in the time allotted.

That’s all I can think of now... any questions let me know.
