THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND:
You do not have to play for the entire time of qualifying but if you decide to leave let us know so we may remove you from future matches. This is a public venue and it will be open to customers who are not playing in the tournament. Therefore, groups may have to wait for their assigned machine to free up if someone is playing it. Also be aware you may have people playing next to you from time to time.

These machines are played daily and just like any on-location machine, there likely will be some that don’t play 100% perfectly. As is typical, we will remove any machine having issues prior to and during a match if it is a major malfunction. The TD will make rulings in accordance with IFPA rules regarding both minor and major malfunctions.

Games will NOT be modified physically (like removing rubbers, etc. to make them harder) although games that have a Competition Mode setting may be enabled. Tilts may be adjusted for the finals. Basically, for most games we will “play it as it lies” as they say.

The Silverball is a family-friendly facility. Children are encouraged to play in the tournament when accompanied by an adult.
