Quick Overview:
Full tournament rules for the Canadian Pinball Championship will be available on-line.
Your registration entitles you to a qualification round that can take place on Friday Oct 23rd (early qualification), Saturday Oct 24th (main qualification) or the morning of Sunday Oct 25th (late qualification). Each player’s qualification round will include 4 pinball games on recently released STERN pinball machines. The players score will be determined by a point system for each machine, with the highest score on a particular machine receiving the most points. The players combined points of all machines will then be added together and used for ranking purposes.
From qualification scores, the top 30 ranked players + 2 randomly drawn wildcard spots not in the top 30 (32 players total) will then advance to the playoff rounds held on Sunday Oct 25th. Playoff rounds will take place with the best 2 out of 3 pinball game eliminations with the winner of each series moving on to the next round. The top 8 ranked players from qualification scores will receive a 1st and 2nd round bye, while players ranked 9 through 16 receive a 1st round bye.
The playoff matchups will be as follows:
First round pairings:
17 vs. 32, 18 vs. 31, 19 vs. 30, 20 vs. 29,
