Pinball Tournament at John's Place Restaurant, in Fairfax, VA. Located in the Kamp Washington area, at 11104 Lee Highway.
Return from the Desert Pinball Tournament July 30-31
The Classics Tournament will take place on Friday, July 30 at 7:30 p.m. Entry into the tournament will be $15. Games will be priced at 50 cents per game. This will be a double elimination tournament with one game matches. Plaques will be awarded to first and second places. The entry fees will be pooled (minus ~ $40 for the plaques) and paid out as follows: 1st: 50% and plaque 2nd: 25% and plaque 3rd: 15% 4th: 10%
The main tournament will be held on Saturday at 2 p.m. Qualifying will begin at 12:15 p.m. This will be a one-day competitive pinball tournament, played in two divisions. Entry Fees: $50.00 A Division $20.00 B Division All entry fees (less ~ $150 for awards and plaques for each division) will go to prize fund as follows: A Division 1st: 50% and laser engraved award (A minimum of $300 is guaranteed to the A division winner) 2nd: 25% and laser engraved award 3rd: 15% and plaque 4th: 10% and plaque B Division 1st: 50% and laser engraved award (A minimum of $100 is guaranteed to the A division winner) 2nd: 25% and laser engraved award 3rd: 15% and plaque 4th: 10% and plaque Games will be priced at 50 cents per game. Extra balls will be disabled on games where this is possible. Ball savers will be turned off on games where this is possible. Bang backs and death saves are not allowed. Format: Head to head; best two out of 3; double elimination. Each loser from the main bracket will go to a second chance bracket for another match, with the winner of that bracket going to a final match against the winner of the main bracket. In order for the player from the losers' bracket to win the tournament that player will have to defeat the player from the winners' bracket two matches (thus givinig that player their double elimination). First, second and third place will be decided by the double elimination. All other players will be put into a quick playoff round to determine fourth place. Initial brackets will be seeded by a one-ball qualifier. Competitors ariving to the tournament too late for qualifying will be given lower seeds. We expect to have between 8 - 12 games for the tournaments. I will be running the tournaments but will not compete in them.
Another tournament will be held in the DC area on Sunday, the Maryland Pinball Championship. This will be held at Town Hall Liquors in College Park, Maryland, on Sunday, August 1.
I hope to see many of you at the tournaments.

In the main tournament competitors deemed too skilled to play in the B division will be placed in the A division. This includes but is not limited to players who have won pinball tournaments in the past and players who have been successful in pinball leagues.
