SUMMARY:The Distance: Pace Match Play Tournament
DESCRIPTION:Pre-Registration Link: May 3rd at Noon https://forms.gle/CysmkvqeqbBpT4Dz8\nTournament Details\n\nJune 21st\, 2025 at the Lower Playfield in Goffstown NH.\nThis event will be IFPA sanctioned at an estimated 136% TGP.\nThis event is part of the 2025 Ice Ice Playfield Championship Series. More information at the IIP Page here.\nDoors at 10 AM\, Tournament starts at 11.\nPace Match Play qualifier\, 3  strict/fast strike knockout finals.\nThis tournament is limited to 32 players.\nRegistration will begin May 3rd at noon.\n$30 per player ($15 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\nWe’re back with a new format — pace matchplay! 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 long 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 12 players (or fewer!). The remaining players will start a 3 strike elimination final. Initial seedings will carry over\, and first round arenas will be chosen by the highest seeds in each group. Pairing for that first round will be slaughter based on pace standings. From the second round on\, pairings will be swiss\, and arenas will cycle between fast and short games. Strikes will be given out in strict (or “fast”) strike pairings: The bottom 2 players in each game will receive a strike (for both 3 and 4 player groups). \nThis is a new format\, but we have some guesses on how long this will take. We expect to get down to 12 players in the pace portion in about 10 rounds (roughly 4 to 4.5 hours)\, with people being eliminated after round 7 (roughly 3 hours in). Strikes will depend on how many players make it through\, but we expect about 8 rounds to crown a champion (around 2 and a half to 3 hours). These are estimates\, but you’re guaranteed at least 7 rounds of play and you might be here longer. It should be fun and tense the whole way\, but if you are sensitive to time\, please note that our estimates are\, at best\, guesstimates for this one. \nPlayers who have Registered (manually updated\, please be patient)\n\nDerek Correia (TD\, Paid)\nJordan Knights (Paid)\nAshley Carroll (paid)\nChris “Butt Munch” Brunette (paid)\nJoe Lemire (cash)\nVince Vitiello (paid)\nMike Gaudet (paid)\nDerek Carroll (paid)\nSeth Gouin (paid)\nJeffrey Pinard (paid)\nMitch Gagnon (paid)\nCourtney Bazarian (paid)\nEric O’Keefe (paid)\nJulia Barnes-Brown (paid)\nJeremy Gagnon (paid)\nWill Parks (paid)\nWyatt Winters (paid)\nCody Erickson (paid)\nZheanna Murray (paid)\nMischa Ayer (paid)\nCody Gamache (paid)\nMatt Lemoine (paid)\nMichael Corbett (paid)\nDave Lawton (paid)\nEva Ashton (paid)\nZachary Holt (paid)\nKim Musgrave (paid)\nColeman Papa-Musgrave (paid)\nMicah Weston (paid)\nJoshua Moran (cash)\nTim Pelletier (paid)\nAlan Maclean\n\n  \nWaitlist\n\nCam Harrahy\n\nNotified\, no response\n\n\n\nRegistration\n\nRegistration will begin Saturday\, May 3rd at 12 Noon.\nAt that time\, the registration link posted above will activate.
