Netherworld Max Matchplay #1 - Saturday 21st of January
Event created by Jimmy Nails
Hey mates
We are going to give this new format a crack to see if it holds up as an alternative to Flip Frenzies (which are being nerfed, boo).
Very similar format to Flips but you wait in the 'waiting room' between games and are ideally assigned games with as many different players as possible.
Your qualifying ends once you play 20 games with a final for the top 4 to follow.
More details on the format here.
Registration is a must. $20 gets you entry and your first drink. Suitable for all levels of wizard skill and pinball bashing. The rules in detail will be explained on the morning, so make sure you get there at 8.30am for the rundown. Doors at 8am for with all games on free play for a warm up. Prizes for the top 4 places including a limited edition enamel pin designed by Moonshine Madness.

Event limited to 32 contenders.
