# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Ides of March FIREFLY Pinball Tournament
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 15 Mar, 2026 at 02:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Come join us for a pinball tournament at FIREFLY Charlottesville!  This tournament will be supported by Charlottesville Roller Derby with prizes and merch for sale. The custom rethemed pinball machine at FIREFLY has been raising money for the team which will be handed off at the beginning of the tournament!

Doors open at 1:00, registration cutoff is 2:00 and competition starts at 2:15 sharp!  FIREFLY's kitchen and bar will be open.

$10 entry fee (cash only - ATM on site) plus coin-drop (estimated to be another $10 cash). The pinball games include: James Bond, Godzilla, Guardians of the Galaxy, and the rethemed CDD machine (Rollergames).

In hopes of making for a more complex and engaging experience, this will be a two-stage tournament. The first stage will be a progressive fair-strike qualifier. We will play in groups of three or four players on assigned games. Winner gets 0 strikes, middle places get 1 strike, and the loser gets 2 strikes. 6 strikes result in elimination, until we are down to the final four players. 

Once we have four players, we will move onto an 'amazing race' finals round. The worst seed puts up a 1-player target score on an assigned game, and the following three players all attempt to beat that score. If you beat the score, you move onto to the next machine. If someone doesn't beat the target score, that becomes the new target score. The person with the lowest score on the first game gets eliminated. This will continue until three different games are 'raced' and we will crown a winner!

All four finals qualifiers will get prizes. 100% of the $10 cash entry fees will be divided up; 1st gets 40%, 2nd gets 30%, 3rd gets 20%, and 4th gets 10%.
