Another Summer Pin-Golf tournament, this time at Cowgirl in the West Village. Here’s what the organizer has to say:
Start time will be 11:30 am (doors open at 7 :00 am) and last entry will be sold at 5 :30 pm (if anyone will come after the last “call” then I might put in at penalty with 7 strokes for each game missed). Side tourney will start when main tourney start and be played when is possible!
Players will be put in a group of 4 for the final while on qualification they can play with someone or by themselves . 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”. An officer/director of tourney MUST be present when you play!
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.
The 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. Note : the course can be also 10 /11 (2 full games of 5 balls each !) or even more like 15/16.
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 when it is their turn will have their ball plunged after 3 minutes which will count as a stroke.
If a player passes the Target Score and continues to play subsequent balls of that game, those additional balls will be counted as additional Pin-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, the 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 the top 4 players with the fewest strokes qualify for Final Round .
Tie Break: In case of any ties to advance to next round ( including finals ) a single game(randomly picked ) will be play until one of the 2 ( or more ) players will reach the target score .
Final Round: Machine target scores will increase of 25% . The top 4 players will play 2 more holes split in 2 groups of 4.
Players will be grouped according to seed so the players in the lead will be playing the ones closest to catching them. Remember that scores are cumulative!
Anyone caught cheating will be bounced from the Tourney. Everyone is expected to be on their best behavior.
If you ask how to play a game while you are playing your ball you will get 1 stroke penalty ! Ask before or after!
Tilting someone else 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 ( in any case no game will be restart unless Slam Tilt ) .
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.
Ball 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 reset then all players will repeat the game unless someone has already reached the target score !
If a machine breaks beyond repair then everyone will play an alternate machine
Playing someone else ball (playing out of turn) Will result in a 1 stroke penalty
Prize pool will consist of 100% of the entry fees. The top 4 players will split the prize pool:
Everyone who enters is eligible for WPPR points as full value annual tournament .
It will be also a side tourney ($5 entry with money back for top 2 or 3) also as best score (out of 2 possibly games and you must play both games at same time! No exception!) on Stampede (5 balls per game!). No finals. The last entry for side tourney will be at 10:30 pm ! After 10 :30 no more entry will be played.
Directors of tourney will make final decision!
