2019 BRISBANE MASTERS PRESENTED BY AMD

 

The 2019 edition is back for another year, and it's going to be bigger and better than ever before. This year's event is proudly sponsored by Michael and the crew at AMD in Sydney once again which is the culmination of a 10-day Pinball & Arcade showcase during the Royal Brisbane Show.

 

In even more exciting news, this year's main event has been included on the Stern World Pro Circuit for 2019. This circuit is only open to some of the world's biggest events on the IFPA calendar, and we are proud to be a part this year. Details about the Stern Pro Circuit and all of the events can be found here: https://www.ifpapinball.com/circuit/

 

VENUE:

Brisbane Showgrounds, 600 Gregory Terrace, Bowen Hills, QLD, 4006. The hall is right next to The Stockman's Bar, behind the Main Arena.

 

SCHEDULE:

Saturday 17th August @ 10am - 7 rounds of Group Matchplay

Sunday 18th August @10am - A/B/C/D grade finals.

 

At this stage, we will not be putting a cap on numbers for this event, but if the number of players exceeds the number of machines or space available, then we may need to introduce one at a later date.

 

QUALIFYING:

* Once all participants are finalized, all players will be seeded based on their IFPA world rankings position as of 30/6/2019.

* The games chosen will be based on what is available at the Venue. (List of machines will be made closer to the date).

* Players will be placed into groups of 3 or 4 once the seedings have been completed.

* Each group will be assigned 3 games at random. Each game has the same points ... 7 for 1st, 5 for 2nd, 3 for 3rd, 1 for 4th (7-4-1 for 3 player games).

 

* First round groupings - Slaughter (Strongest seed plays weakest, second-strongest plays second-weakest, etc)

* Second & subsequent round groupings - Swiss (Players will be paired against players with the same win-loss record. No attempts will be made to pair players against previously unfaced opponents (adjacent pairing is used)).

 

* All games will be played as a 4-player game (unless machine is unable to allow it and/or notified otherwise). Matchplay will allocate your machine banks, along with player order for each game.

 

* There will be 7 qualifying rounds (21 games per player). The top 24 players will advance to the A Grade Finals on Sunday morning, Qualifiers 25-72 will be split in to B/C/D grades.

* Ties for any placings in the Top 72 will be determined by the number of 1st place finishes, then by 2nd place finishes, then by a single game playoff (if required).

 

FINALS:

Will start at approximately 10.00am on Sunday 18th August. The venue will be open from 9.00am for warm-up.

Players with byes will be allowed to 'warm-up' on a game or two on a machine allocated by the Tournament director(s) in the round before they are due to start.
