DISCLAIMER - I ask that everyone that signs up for this event come with an open mind and focus on having FUN FIRST AND FOREMOST. Yes, I know WPPR's are at stake, but with this being the first time running this format I'm sure we will have some challenges and possibly some decisions made that could be the wrong decisions. Hopefully none of this happens, but we should err on the side of caution. Pretend you are coming to a Dungeons & Dragons or Magic the Gathering event that just happens to have some pinball machines!!! Lastly, I encourage anyone who is attending to read over all of the Match Play cards beforehand, as well as the game rules. The more that we ALL know, the better.
