Please note that listed time is the START TIME. people must check in 15 MINUTES before their tee-time.
This tournament will use the popular Pingolf format that was run at the show for the Classic event in the past.
• Two players tee-off at a time, but still play as one-player games. Players will be able to reserve a tee-off time starting a week before the event.
• Every machine will be set to 5-ball play, and will list a target score. Reach the target score in 1 ball for a hole in one. Reach it in 2 balls, then get a score of 2 strokes, and so on. If the target score is not reached after 5 balls, then earn a stroke score of 6 to 10, depending on how close to the target score reached. The score ranges (0-20% = 10, 20-40% = 9 so on until 80-100% = 6 strokes) will be shown on a note on the backglass.
• When a player reaches their target score or their game ends, they should raise their hand to call over the scorekeeper to verify and record the score.
• Extra balls can be played, and counts as an extension of the current ball being played. Thus if a player earns an extra ball on ball 2, and during that ball 2 they reach the target, they get a score of 2.
• When a target score is reached, the player stops playing and informs the scorekeeper of the number of strokes it took them. All subsequent balls for that player will be plunged.
• Scores on each machine will be tabulated. The players are ranked from lowest to highest score, with lowest score being declared winner at the end of the event. Any major tie breaker will be a randomly selected game with Pingolf scoring
• TOP 16 FINALS at 8 PM, players will play PAPA format finals, 3 games per round top 2 from each group move on to the next round but with Pingolf scoring (same as the qualifiers).
• During this round, groups are made but on slaughter seeding (1-8-9-16, etc...) and top seed can chose game or position for every match in the group. No same game can be picked by a player for the whole finals until that players picked all games. In case of ties, players will playoff on another machine, with similar game or position selection by the top seed of that match (game picks count toward no repeat rule above) whoever wins moves on, if still tied, another game takes pace until there is a winner.
Players must show up to at least 15 minutes before their scheduled tee-off time and pay their $10 entry fee or may lose their reserved tee-off time to someone on the Standby list. Registration closes once all tee-off times are filled. Players can get onto a standby list if available to play and there is a no-show.
