SUMMARY:Hey June! Group Match Play Tournament - 160% TGP
DESCRIPTION:Waitlist Link: Waitlist closed\nTournament Details\n\nJune 17th\, 2023 at the Lower Playfield in Goffstown NH.\nDoors at 11 AM\, Tournament starts promptly at noon.\n32 player limit\nRegistration begins May 12th at noon Eastern time.\n$30 per player ($20 prize pool\, $9 house fee for free play\, electricity offset\, snacks and drinks\, $1 IFPA Endorsement fee) is due via Paypal/Venmo within 72h of registration. Cash at door accepted for players who have played 2 tournaments in the last year here — you must contact Derek or Jordan to make arrangements if you’re paying cash at door or some other way.\n\nOur next tournament will be significantly smaller than WPPRmania was\, but oddly enough\, it’s the “Main Event” component of WPPRmania! \nStarting at noon\, we will run 12 rounds of 3 or 4 player Match Play matches\, alternating between games that have historically run longer and shorter (not quite “Moderns” and “Classics”\, but you get the idea). Scores will be PAPA style based on finish (7-5-3-1). After round one\, pairings will continue in a tiered Swiss-style pairing for 11 more rounds. A tiebreak game will be played if necessary to split top 2 seeds or anyone playing into the top 8. Automatic tiebreakers will be used for all other positions. The top 8 players will move on to bank style 4-game\, 4 Player Match Play finals\, with the top 2 advancing to the next round. Players not making the final round will compete in two rounds of stallball for prizes! \nFor the WPPR hounds among us\, this will calculate out to 160% TGP and will be in the neighborhood of 24 WPPRs to the winner. Such Wow! Much impress! \nWe anticipate\, based on past tournaments\, the Matchplay portion to take roughly 4-5 hours\, and the finals to take an additional 2-3 hours. We have run this format before and feel confident in these time estimates. \nPlayers who have Registered (manually updated\, please be patient)\n\nDerek Correia (TD) (paid)\nJordan Knights (paid)\nBrian O’Neill (TD) (paid)\nAllison O’Neill (TD) (paid)\nDavid Foxwell (paid)\nDerek Foxwell (paid)\nZach Murray (paid)\nChris Brunette (paid)\nWill Parks (paid)\nMatt Lemoine (paid)\nZoë Vrabel (Paid)\nDaniel Rone (Paid)\nJoe Lemire (COD)\nJulia Barnes-Brown (paid)\nSarah Finn (paid)\nCody Gamache (paid)\nNate Straz (paid)\nMitch Gagnon (paid)\nJody Stahlman (paid)\nMike Havens (paid)\nSam Keogh (paid)\nJeremy Gagnon (paid)\nDerek Beam (paid)\nIvy Beam (paid)\nSeamus Meader (COD)\nJames McFatter (paid)\nVince Vitiello (paid)\nAmber Lee (paid)\nSheri Hendricks (paid)\nDavey Plaisted (paid)\nAdam Meader (COD)\nGeoff Alterman (COD\, NH)\n\nWaitlist: \n\nNick Destafano\nAlan MacLean\nLarry Paquette\n\nRegistration\nRegistration will open at Noon Eastern on May 12th\, and will remain open until 32 spots are filled. At that time\, the registration link will be posted at the top of the event page on TheLowerPlayfield.com. Once/If 32 spots are filled\, waitlist registration will remain open until the week before the tournament on June 10th. Payment of fees within 72h of registration via PayPal/Venmo will be required. If you prefer cash at the door\, and have played in 2 past tournaments at Lower Playfield before\, we will accept cash at the door. Please contact Derek or Jordan directly to confirm you will be doing so\, or your registration may be cancelled. If you are registering for multiple people (Friends/Siblings/Children/Alien Overlords) please fill out the form twice! \nOnce you confirm you are on the registration list above\, please make payment via: \n\nPaypal: paypal.me/mutterfudder\nVenmo: @Derek-Correia\n\nRegistration fees will be fully refundable until June 10th. After June 10th\, refund requests will be accepted less the house fee. Exceptions made on a case-by-case basis. \nPrize Schedule\nPayouts as follows assuming a full field of 32 participants.

SUMMARY:WPPRMANIA -- 3 Pinball Tournaments. 1 Epic Day.
DESCRIPTION:The hype. The spectacle… nothing compares to WPPRMANIA!!! One Day. THREE IFPA-Rated Tournaments. Epic fun.\nDesigned to be the highest bang-for-your-buck day if you care about WPPR points\, fun\, and flippin\, WPPRMania is a full day of multiple pinball tournaments. Certainly catered to the individual who wants ranking points\, but designed to be a full\, fun day for all. Prizes\, food\, and more — can you survive …. WPRRMANIA?!?!\n\nIMPORTANT INFORMATION:\nDate: April 29th\, 2023\nThe Lower Playfield\, Goffstown NH\nDoors: 9 AM\, First play promptly at 10 AM. Breaks at 1:30PM\, and dinner (TBD). Expected completion around 8-9 PM.\nSTRICT LIMIT of 28 players MAX.\nENTRY: $50 (Broken down as $20 for main event prize pool\, $5 to Frenzy pool\, $10 to 8-Strikes pool\, $15 for IFPA Fees and house fees). Registration details and link will be posted March 3rd at Noon. Registration is not confirmed until payment is sent — You may register for a spot\, but if others pay before you do\, you will be waitlisted. All fees refundable up to 1 week prior to tournament for any reason (exceptions will be made after that on a case-by-case basis).\n\nTournament #1: The Main Event: 12 Round Matchplay\nPlayers will compete in 12 rounds of Tiered Swiss Matchplay on 2 banks of machines (machines will be halved between historically long running games and shorter running games using matchplay data from prior tournaments at the Lower Playfield). Scoring will be 7-5-3-1 based on finish (7-4-1 for 3 player groups\, if applicable).\nAfter 12 rounds\, the top 8 players will compete in a 4 game matchplay playoff. Games will be on banks revealed at the time of finals. Highest seed in each group will have choice of bank. Order of play will be chosen for the first game\, and order of finish for all subsequent games (1st place finisher in the prior game will play first\, 2nd place will play 2nd\, and so on). Top 2 from each group of finalists will play in a final round to determine place of finish.\nThe Main Event will have roughly 160% TGP and will be MASSIVE RANKING POINTS.\nDidn’t make the finals? That’s okay… because you’re on to:\nTournament #2: 90 minute Royal Rumble (Flip Frenzy) + Finals!\nRunning concurrently with the Main Event Finals\, all other players will compete in a 90 minute flip frenzy on games not currently being used in the finals. Players will play 2 player games with the winner getting a point. After playing as player 2\, players will go back in to a queue to wait for another competitor. After 90 minutes\, no more games will be started. The top 4 players by win differential (with automatic tiebreaks being win differential by games played) will move on to a 4 game Matchplay final to determine finishing order.\nAround the time that that wraps up\, it should be dinner time. Followed by…\nTournament #3: 8 Progressive Strike Matchplay\nPlayers will be randomly placed into groups of 3 or 4 for rounds of matchplay\, alternating in banks as was done in the main event. After the first round\, the tournament will be fully swissed\, meaning that you will be playing against players with similar results as yourself. Progressive strikes means you will get strikes for each game equal to the number of players who finished above you in the game (0-1-2-3 strikes for 4 player groups\, 0-1-2 for 3 player groups). Once a player hits 8 strikes\, they are eliminated from subsequent rounds. Top 4 players will receive prizes.\nPrize Structure (Assuming full field of 28 players):\nMain Event:\n1st: $200\n2nd: 150\n3rd: 100\n4th: 50\n5th-8th: $15\nRoyal Rumble:\n1st: $55\n2nd: $40\n3rd: $30\n4th: $15\nStrikes:\n1st: $110\n2nd: 80\n3rd: 60\n4th: 30\nSodas\, Beverages\, Snacks\, and shitty beer provided. We will also be providing THE Homemade Mac & Cheese at the dinner break. This is a full day of pinball\, so we HIGHLY recommend bringing a bag lunch for the lunch break! Optionally\, I will facilitate a DoorDash order to a local pizza place for the group if you’d prefer to order out for lunch.\nComments\, concerns\, questions — fire away to myself or Jordan. Otherwise… are you game enough to STEP INTO THE RING??!?!?!
