Matchplay Rules

• Scoring is done in a 7-5-3-1 point system (winner of each machine gets 7 points, second place gets 5 points, third place gets 3 points and fourth place gets 1 point).
• In Round 1, players will be grouped up randomly. As you play through Rounds 2-5, your groups will rearrange and you will be paired up with players who have similar scores to you.
• After Round 5, the overall Top 6 players will qualify for the playoffs.
• The Top 2 players out of the 6 will automatically get a bye into the finals. The remaining 4 players will play 1 game, with their Top 2 advancing into the finals.
• Top 4 finalist will receive payout from the prize pool.

Additional Rules

• Be respectful to other players as well as machines. Playing out of turn will result in a score of 0 for that round.
• No deathsaves, bangbacks, or rage tilts.
• Tiebreakers will be settled by number of wins.
• All questions or requests for a ruling must be directed to the Tournament Director(s). No player is allowed to make ruling or disqualification calls.
• If a random group only has 3 players, the 7-5-3-1 point system will be altered and become a 7-4-1 point system.
