FAMILY TOURNAMENT

Don’t understand the detail, no problem. Remember our Tournament Team will be there on the day to facilitate competition activities.

• The Tournament will be run using the popular “PinGolf” method.
• Machines for use during the Tournament will be pre-selected by the Tournament Director depending on the total number of registered teams.
• Each machine will have a “par” set by the Tournament Director (e.g. 50-million by Ball 2; start multiball on ball 2, finish 2 modes by ball 2 etc.).
• The par for each machine will be different depending on the specific layout and rule-set of the machine – every machine is unique. However, the par will be easily explained and attainable by pinball players of all abilities.
• Scoring is similar to transitional golf, if you reach the target you get “par” (2), if you attain the target a ball earlier you score a “birdie” (1), a ball later than expected you score a “bogey” (3), any further you score a “double-bogey” (4).
• Games on every machine will be 3-ball games.
• Each team member (Parent/Child) plays 1 ball each, followed by the third ball being played jointly (Parent and Child control one flipper each).
• Overall results are determined by combining team scores across all machines, like golf – the final tournament standards are determined by the lowest team aggregate scores.
• No team shall be allowed to substitute team members during the tournament with other family members or competitors, however one family can have multiple entries (parents/siblings).
• No competitor at any time shall interfere with another competitor, or manipulate any machine – this will result in instant disqualification from the Tournament.
• “Nudging” is permitted as part of pinball competitive play, however any rough handling of machines during game-play will forfeit the match (loss) and in extreme cases result in disqualification.
