Tournament Rules

  • All Tournament Officials decisions are final.

  • In the event of a machine failure, that game will be replayed on another machine.

  • Qualifying will end at 1 p.m. on Sunday. NO REFUNDS will be given on unused games.

  • Qualifying is designed for a single elimination bracket with the top sixteen scorers advancing to the quarter-finals held Sunday at 2 p.m. Note: Each player can only hold one position.

  • A coin toss will determine who will play first. The highest ranked player will call the toss.

  • Players must be ready to play when their group is called. Failure to appear within 5 minutes of designated time will be grounds for forfeiture.

  • Bang backs and death saves are NOT allowed.

Major Malfunction Rules:

  • Major: A machine malfunction is considered major if play of game cannot be completed (ex. machine shuts down, locks up, gets into endless loop, software malfunctions, etc.).

  • A technician will be called to try to determine the problem and fix the machine. If the malfunction can be corrected, both contestants will replay the game. In the event one of the contestants finished their game prior to the malfunction occurred, that contestant’s score would stand. The player who did not complete the game will replay the game over. If the malfunction cannot be corrected, a new machine will be designated and both contestants will replay the game

Minor Malfunction Rules:

  • Minor: A machine malfunction is considered minor if play can continue (ex. stuck ball, stuck switch).

  • Stuck switch:  If a switch becomes stuck during game play, the game will be played to completion before a repair attempt is made. Once the game is complete, a technician will attempt to rectify the problem. If it cannot be repaired, the rest of the games will be played on a machine designated by Tournament Officials.

  • Stuck ball :  If a ball gets stuck during play, the ball will be retrieved and placed in the shooter lane, and play will continue
