SUMMARY:Holiday Overdrive - Max Matchplay Tournament
DESCRIPTION:A notice on website issues and registration changes\nRegistration Link: Registration Open Now\, Click Here\nTournament Details\n\nDecember 2nd\, 2023 at the Lower Playfield in Goffstown NH.\nDoors at 10:30 AM\, Tournament starts promptly at 11:30.\n32 player limit\nThis event is IFPA sanctioned\nRegistration begins October 25th at 6 PM Eastern time.\n$25 per player ($15 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.\nOur house fee for this tournament has been donated to Victims First\, an organization dedicated to victims of mass casualty crime in memory of the victims of the tragedy in Lewiston\, Maine. Thank you for playing in this tournament and helping us to support them. Learn more at victimsfirst.org.\n\nWe’ve heard you — all of you! Holidays are stressful. It’s hard to find time for pinball. “Hey we’d love to do your tournaments but it’s a big time commitment”. I’m with it! It’s hard to find a full day to play pinball\, and with the holidays bearing down like a homicidal MAC truck with a Ringmaster on the front\, who needs more stress. So finally: A quicker\, shorter\, cheaper\, and still a lot of fun The Lower Playfield tournament to wrap up the year. \nHoliday Overdrive will consist of 15 head-to-head games of Max Matchplay — the replacement to the good ol’ Flip Frenzy we used to play all the time! Players will be randomly placed on games against players you hopefully haven’t played already that day for a head-to-head battle. The top 8 players will move on to a 4-player\, 3 game matchplay group scored 4-2-1-0 where the highest seed will have choice of two of the games\, and the 3rd will be a randomly assigned “short play” game. Play continues until we crown a champion! \nDidn’t make the playoffs? No problem! Everyone who missed the playoffs will be put into a head-to-head\, single game bracket. The winner takes home a prize as well! \nWPPR Fiends: This will calculate to 27 TGP\, or 108% WPPR value. The single elimination bracket is not IFPA certified and is just for the prizes! \nThis is essentially the same format as our recently held anniversary tournament\, with a few small changes to keep things moving better throughout the day! And now we know how long these will take: We expect the Matchplay tournament to run 3 and a half hours. The two playoffs will take roughly 2 hours for the top 8\, and about an hour and a half for the single elimination players. All matches should be done by 6 at the latest\, though most play should be done by 5 — plenty of time for last minute holiday shopping! \nPlayers who have Registered (manually updated\, please be patient) \n\nJordan Knights (paid)\nJason Burwen (paid – IOU 20)\nEthan Burwen (paid)\nCurtis Rossi (COD)\nSam Keogh (paid)\nRich Lasker (paid)\nJoe Lemire (COD)\nSeamus Meader (COD)\nAdam Meader (COD)\nVince Vitiello (paid)\nBill MacDonald (paid)\nMitch Gagnon (paid)\nJeremy Gagnon (paid)\nJulia Barnes-Brown (paid)\nSarah Finn (paid)\nMike Gaudet (paid)\nCody Gamache (paid)\nBrian Borque (paid)\nZoë Vrabel (paid)\nDaniel Rone (paid)\nMatt Lemoine (paid)\nColeman Papa-Musgrave (paid)\nKim Musgrave (paid)\nKenny Weiner (paid)\nRoss Bergen (paid)\nGeoff Alterman (paid)\nDerek Beam (paid)\nIvy Beam (paid)\nWill Parks (paid)\nEd Giardina (paid)\nNate Straz (paid)\nDerek Correia (paid)\n\nWaitlist:\n\nEMPTY!!!
