Tournament - College Park, MD, August 1
Newsom
The Maryland Pinball Champoinship
The tournament will be held on Sunday at 1 p.m. at Town Hall Liquors,
8135 Baltimore Avenue, College Park, MD, 20740-2431.
Qualifying will begin at 11 a.m.
There will be 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.
The format for the tournament is 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
in two straight 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 5-8 games for the tournaments.
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.
I will be running the tournament but will not compete in them.
Another tournament will be held in the DC area on Friday and Saturday,
The Return From the Desert Pinball Tournament. This will be held at
John's Place in Fairfax, VA, on July 30-31.
I hope to see many of you at the tournaments.
If you have any questions, please contact me by email or post here.

recently asked me if I could put one at Town Hall. Unfortunately I do
not own an EBD but did just put a Bally Strikes and Spares there which
has been getting a lot of play.
See you on Sunday Mark.
