WHEN: 6 pm to 10 pm

SATURDAY - MAIN Tournament:
Registration / Optional Practice: 9:00 am
Qualifying Starts: Sat Jan 3 at 10 am (arrive any time, play as much as you want, come & go as you see fit)

Your Highest Score / Unlimited Best Game Format – How It Works
For each machine, your single highest score is recorded and used for ranking. You can keep playing a machine repeatedly to beat your previous best score. Your best score on a machine is ranked against all other players' best scores on that same machine. Tournament points are awarded based on the rank achieved on each machine (e.g., the top score on a machine gets 100 points, second gets 90, third 85, 4th 84, 5th 83 points and so on). Your total qualifying score is the sum of the points earned from your best game on 8 (eight) of the total machines in the event. Games are $1 each (coin drop).

24-Hour Qualifying Time – How It Works
IMPORTANT: Even though the qualifying time window is a straight 24 hours, you can play as little or as much of the qualifying, you can arrive at any time, you can come and go as you see fit. Repeat, you do NOT need to be there at the start nor the entire time. Consider this a “window” of time to play and qualify.

SUNDAY - Strikes Tournament:
The Sunday 2nd Chance Tournament is your third event of the series and a great for more casual players as all the top qualifiers from the main event will be in that tournament’s finals. 9 Fair Strikes 0112 / 012 scoring. Plenty of play in this one since the minimum number of rounds you’ll play is 5 (if you were last every single round). Players are out after the 9th strike. Trophies: Top 4.

Registration / Optional Practice: 9:00 am to 11 am
Starts: Sun Jan 4 at 11:00 am
Entry Fee: $15 + $1/game coin drop.
