SUMMARY:TLP Triple Threat: Target Matchplay Tournament
DESCRIPTION:Pre-Registration Link: Click here\nTournament Details\n\nJune 6th\, 2026 at the Lower Playfield in Goffstown NH.\nThis event will be IFPA sanctioned at an estimated 120% TGP.\nDoors at 10 AM\, Tournament starts at 11.\nTarget Matchplay Tournament (7-5-3-1) to 46 (or 10 rounds)\, alternating between short play/long play. Winchester\, Dune*\, and Portal guaranteed in each long play round.\nThis tournament is limited to 32 players.\nRegistration will begin Saturday\, May 16th at Noon.\n$35 per player ($20 Main Tournament entry\, $15 house fee (for trophies\, free play\, electricity offset\, snacks and drinks\, and IFPA endorsement fees)) is due via Paypal/Venmo within one week of registration.\n\nThere’s three newer games at TLP and we think you’ll be excited to get some time on Winchester Mystery House\, Dune*\, and Portal. So how about a target matchplay tournament that guarantees those games get used in every long play round? Sound good? Good! \n* – Dune subject to appear. Get yer shit together BoF! \nTournament will be a target matchplay tournament where the first 8 players to hit 46 total points will make it to the finals. Games will alternate between short play (“classics and asswhoopers”) and long play (“moderns and marathons”) until the target is reached. After 10 rounds\, should 8 players not have hit the target\, the top 8 players will advance to finals. Seeding will be total points by number of rounds crossed to hit the target. Players will not be considered tied unless they have the same number of points in the same round. Example: a player that has 48 points after round 8 has a higher seed than a player that has 47 points after round 8 – they are not tied for position. Should there be a tie for a top 2 position or to make finals\, it will be broken by a random short play game. \nFinals will be 4 player groups of 3 games. For the semifinal round: Games will be a random drawn game from a short play game\, long play game\, and launch game (Winchester\, Dune\, Portal). High seed will have choice of the launch game\, and order of play for the entire round\, and play order will be locked before play starts. For the final 4 players\, the finals bank will consist of Winchester\, Dune\, and Portal. Should a launch game be unavailable due to mechanical issue\, it will be replaced with a random long-play game in the final round. \nBased on our prior tournaments\, we expect that the target portion will take between 4 to 4.5 hours\, and the finals for the last 8 should wrap up in about 2 hours after that. \nPlayers who have Registered (manually updated\, please be patient)\n\nDerek Correia (Paid)\nJordan Knights (Paid)\nZheanna Murray (paid)\nSean Lumaye (paid)\nChris Brunette (paid)\nLindsay Cole (paid)\nVincent Vitiello (paid)\nAshley Carroll (paid)\nBrian McGinty (paid)\nErik Haynes (paid)\nDrew Dolan (paid)\nJosh Moran (cash)\nJames McFatter (paid)\nDerek Carroll (paid)\nMitch Gagnon (paid)\nCourtney Bazarian (paid)\nAllison O’Neill (cash)\nJeremy Gagnon (paid)\nZoe Vrabel (paid)\nJeremy Corson (paid)\nSnow Aubel (paid)\nWill Parks (paid)\nRyan Lazzarin (paid)\nBill MacDonald (paid)\nMike Gaudet (paid)\nCody Gamache (paid)\nCody Erickson (cash)\nMicah Weston (paid)\nAllisyn Robertson (paid)\nArlo McGinty (paid)\nEric Geddes (paid)\nGabe Noblesmith (paid)\n\nWaitlist\n\nBrian O’Neill\nJulia Barnes-Brown\nAnne Whipple\nNicole Villacres\nBrian Yurick\nSarah Finn\nSteve Woodbury\nNicholas Bourassa\nJeffrey Pinard\nMichael Lupo\nNate Straz\nJoe Lemire\nChip Morton\nFrank Deneu\nAlan MacLean\nEric O’Keefe\n\nNotified\, no response\n\n\n\nRegistration\n\nRegistration will begin Saturday\, May 16th at Noon.\nAt that time\, the registration link posted above will activate.
