ALLEY PASS PINBALL LEAGUE
Description:
A FUN BUT COMPETITIVE LEAGUE WITH CASH PAYOUTS AND PRIZES FOR BEGINNERS TO SKILLED PLAYERS. WE HAVE PLAYOFFS AT END OF SEASON. WE PLAY IN GROUPS OF 3 0R 4, AND USE SCORE SHEETS WHERE PLAYERS HAVE POINTS/AVERAGES BASED ON THEIR PERFORMANCE SIMILAR TO BOWLING. There will be at MANY pinball machines set up from old to brand new.
There is also food and drinks (& alcohol) available. Machines will be located in the arcade and the concourse.
RULES:
We break up the players into groups of 3 or 4 seeded by total cumulative points (the first session we seed players by a combination of IFPA rankings, known skill level, and past performances). You then move up or down groups for each session, based on your point total. Each session we play (5) 4 person games on different machines, with points given as follows: 7 for 1st, 5 for 2nd, 3 for 3rd, and 1 for 4th (or 7, 4, 1 for a 3 person group).
At the end of the regular season we split the group into "A" (top CERTAIN NUMBER OF players), "B" (next CERTAIN NUMBER OF players). We then have an end of season double elimination tournament to determine final standings. It's a pretty good system and allows you to play against players of similar ability for handicapping purposes. The way the seedings work, you are always playing in groups with players who are playing to your accumulative level. For example: group “1” is seeds 1,2,3,4. Group “2” is seeds 5,6,7,8, and so on.
SO, you won’t have a greatly skilled player playing with an amateur!
Fees/prizes:
2 CHOICES:
CHOICE 1= PAY NO FEE AND BE INCLUDED IN THE GUARANTEE PAYOUTS ANYHOW THAT WE WILL PROVIDE.
CHOICE 2- PAY $20 ON FIRST LEAGUE NIGHT AND YOU ARE IN FOR THE GUARANTEE PAYOUTS AND SIDE POT PAYOUTS.
EVERYONE IS INCLUDED IN THE GUARANTEE PAYOUTS FOR A AND B DIVISION ($100/$25/$15/$10) EVEN IF YOU DON'T PAY A FEE.
**PLAYERS THAT PAY A ONE TIME FEE OF $20 ON THE FIRST NIGHT OF LEAGUE, THAT FEE GOES 100% TO THE SIDE POT PLAYERS PRIZE FUND FOR THE CASH PAYOUTS AT SEASONS END.
THE TROPHIES/PLAQUES AND OTHER PRIZES WILL BE PROVIDED FROM THE HOST (ME!) AT MY OWN EXPENSE.
Also, the winner of each Division will get a Trophy/Plaque.
SIDE POT PAYOUTS:
100% of SIDE POT entry fees collected are paid out. IF THERE IS $400 IN THE POT, THAT IS WHAT IS PAID OUT.
*LEAGUE HOST (me) NOT ELIGIBLE FOR PAYOUTS OR PRIZES. WHATEVER MONIES I "WIN" (IF ANY) WILL BE PASSED ONTO THE NEXT PLAYER AND SO FOURTH. SO IF I WIN 3RD FOR EXAMPLE, MY 3RD PLACE WINNINGS GO TO THE 4TH PLACE PERSON, AND THE 4TH PLACE WINNINGS GO TO THE 5TH PLACE PERSON. EASY ENOUGH!
