SUMMARY:Take Another Little Pace of My Heart - Pace Matchplay Tournament
DESCRIPTION:Pre-Registration Link: https://forms.gle/75yxLTr2KgEER26K8\nTournament Details\n\nMarch 7th\, 2026 at the Lower Playfield in Goffstown NH.\nThis event will be IFPA sanctioned at an estimated 128% TGP. As this is an IFPA sanctioned tournament\, we will not be accepting IFPA opt-outs for this event.\nDoors at 10 AM\, Tournament starts at 11.\nPace Matchplay: 7 guaranteed rounds\, 22 point pace\, +7 per round. Group Matchplay Final for top 8.\nThis tournament is limited to 32 players.\nRegistration will begin Saturday\, February 21st 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\nTLP is back in 2026 with our second ever Pace Match Play tournament! Think of it as a match play qualifier with a sense of dread: a pace car behind you at all times! Play will be done in balanced pairings all day\, starting on a shorter play game and alternating each round between shorter and longer playing games. Scoring will be 7-5-3-1\, or 7-4-1 in 3 player groups\, for each round. \nAt the end of the 7th round\, the pace will become active at 22 points. All players below the pace line will be eliminated\, and all players above the pace line will play again. Each round\, the pace line goes up 7 points. Win your next round and you’re safe for sure — anything else\, and you better hope you banked up enough points to continue! \nPlay will continue until we conclude a round at 8 players (or fewer!). We will take the top 8 players into the finals and will tiebreak for anyone in the top two seeds. If we end with less than 8 players (likely)\, seeding for top 8 will be the number of points scored in the round prior to elimination. In the case of any ties for the 8th spot\, we will tiebreak on a classic (short play) game. \nTop 8 will move on to a 3 game a round final scored 4-2-1-0 a game. Games will be a random drawn long play and short play game\, while the top seed in the group will have choice of game 3 at the start of the round. Game choice can not be repeated in the final. Play order in the final rounds will be same each game and will be chosen by high seed\, descending\, prior to the first game. \nBased on our prior pace tournament and other tournaments\, we expect that the pace portion will take between 4 to 5 hours (though some players may be eliminated earlier!)\, and the finals for the last 8 should wrap up in 90 to 120 minutes. \nPlayers who have Registered (manually updated\, please be patient)\n\nDerek Correia (Paid)\nJordan Knights (Paid)\nLindsay Cole (paid)\nSeamus Meader (cash)\nMicah Weston (paid)\nNicole Villacres (paid)\nDavid Huang (paid)\nAshley Carroll (paid)\nDrew Dolan (paid)\nVincent Vitiello (paid)\nMichael Brewster (paid)\nJoshua Moran (cash)\nDerek Carroll (paid)\nBILL MACDONALD (paid)\nMitch Gagnon (paid)\nJoe Lemire (cash)\nMichael Prince (paid)\nAdam Meader (cash)\nWill Parks (paid)\nCody Erickson (cash)\nAlan MacLean (paid)\nJames McFatter (paid)\nRyan Lazzarin (paid)\nJeremy Gagnon (paid)\nZackary Holt (paid)\nBrian O’Neill (cash)\nAllison O’Neill (cash)\nMike Desmarais (paid)\nVanilla Chris’t Brunette (paid)\nCody Gamache (paid)\nFrank Deneu (cash)\nTim Gillogly\n\nWaitlist\n\nZoe Vrabel\nAndy Hoffman\nAmber Lee\nSheri Hendricks\nNate Straz\nChip Morton\nTy Ueda\n\nNotified\, no response\n\n\n\nRegistration\n\nRegistration will begin Saturday\, February 21st at Noon.\nAt that time\, the registration link posted above will activate.
