Super Pin-Golf Summer 2014 #1

Two Bits Retro Arcade, 153 Essex Street, New York, New York 10002 Slideshow 40.720863 -73.987291

Francesco La Rocca, with the help of Koi Morris, is glad to announce the Super Pingolf Summer 2014!

Cost: $10 and all games will be on coin drop.

Start time will be 1:30 PM, doors open at 1PM, and last entry will be at 2:30 PM (Anyone who comes after the “last call” may be put in at penalty with 7 strokes for each game missed.)

Players will be put in groups of 3 or 4 (officials will decide the groups). Each player plays for the target score indicated on the score card. The number of balls played to reach the target score will be counted as “Strokes.”

Each game will count as one hole played. When the group is done on a hole it will move on down to the next one. Each round will be 7 or 9 games (holes).

The 7 or 9 games will be a mix of DMD, SS & EM (where possible).

There is a course maximum of 7 Pin-Strokes per Pin-Hole. Should you not reach the Target Score after playing six balls, record a score of 7 and move on to the next Pin-Hole.

It may take multiple games to reach the Target Score. In this case, any additional games played will be added to the score accumulated from previous games.

If a player earns an extra ball, this will not be counted as an additional Pin-Stroke, but rather as a continuation of the current ball being played.

Player Delays

Since this is a one day tournament we need to keep things moving. Please stay close to the tournament area during rounds. Any player that is not at the game after 3 minutes of when their turn starts will have their ball plunged and cost a stroke. Furthermore, If a player passes the Target Score and continues to play subsequent balls of that game, those additional balls will be counted as additional Strokes on that Pin-Hole. Please keep things moving by stopping play once target score achieved and letting the other players play their balls.

The player with the lowest score at a Pin-Hole takes the honor of playing first on the following Pin-Hole. The competitor with the second lowest score plays next and so on. If two or more competitors have the same score at a Pin-Hole, then they play in the same order as the previous Pin-Hole.

Scores are cumulative for all rounds including round 2 and/or finals !!

Round 1

At the end of round 1 (7 or 9 holes) the top 8 players with the fewest strokes qualify for the Final Round.

Final Round

Machine target scores will increase by 25%. The top 8 players will play 3 more holes split in 2 groups of 4.

Players will be grouped according to seeding, so the players in the lead will be playing the ones closest to catching them. Remember that scores are cumulative !

Tie Break

In the event that a tie-breaker is necessary to determine who will advance to the next round (including finals), a single, randomly picked game will be play until one of the 2 (or more) players reach the target score.

Other Notes

• Anyone caught cheating will be bounced from the Tourney. Everyone is expected to be on their best behavior.
• Tilting someone else’s ball will result in a one stroke penalty for the offender. The player whose ball was tilted will wait until their turn is up again and play with 1 stroke subtracted from their score or play an additional ball in another game. No game will be restarted unless a Slam Tilt occurs.
• Slam tilting a game in progress will result in a 3 stroke penalty. A second offense will result in a disqualification from the tournament. All other players will repeat the game unless they have already reached the target score.
• Bang backs and death saves are not allowed.
• If a ball gets stuck, call the officers — we have the keys.
• If a feature/light on a machine is not working, keep playing — that feature won’t work for all other players!
• If a machine resets, then all players will repeat the game unless someone has already reached the target score.
• Playing someone else’s ball (playing out of turn) will result in a 1 stroke penalty.

PAYOUTS

Prize pool will consist of 100% of the entry fees. The top 4 players will split the prize pool:

• 1st place- 40%
• 2nd place- 30%
• 3rd place- 20%
• 4th place- 10%

Everyone who enters is eligible for WPPR points as full value annual tournament.

There will also be a side tourney ($5 entry with money back for top 2 or 3) using the Brackelope knockout with 3 or 4 strikes and 3 or 4 players per match using all available machines. Side tourney starts at 6:00 pm with half value of WPPR points .
