2019 QLD State Pinball Championship - 15th December


Recommended Posts

Introducing the 2019 QLD STATE PINBALL CHAMPIONSHIP

2019 is going to be yet another massive year in pinball, especially in the 'sunshine state'. We are really pumped and excited to be able to bring this event to life and crown the next QLD STATE PINBALL CHAMPION.

 

The GRAND PRIZE:

* The winner will win FREE ENTRY into the 2020 ACS Tournament (if eligible) and essentially be QLD's representative at the event.

* The prize also includes Airfares & Accommodation for up to 2 nights.

* If the player is ineligible or unable to attend the 2020 ACS, a suitable and equivalent prize will be awarded.

 

The only way to get involved in the QLD STATE PINBALL CHAMPIONSHIP is to finish in the Top 3 in any of the above club's monthly IFPA meets during FEBRUARY-NOVEMBER 2019 including:

* Brisbane Pinball Club Fortnightly Tournament (held every Tuesday fortnight)

* Netherworld Flip Frenzy (usually held on the 1st Saturday of every month)

* Flipswitch (Yeerongpilly) Monthly Tournaments (usually held on the last Saturday of every month)

* Gold Coast Pinball Club Monthly Tournaments (usually held on the first Wednesday of every month)

* Pincadia Fair strikes & Mini Matchplay events (every other Tuesday fortnight)

* Coolangatta-Tweed Pinball Club (3rd Wednesday of every month)

* West End Wizards Monthly Tournaments (Townsville) (2nd Friday of every month)

 

Coming on board in 2019 will also be the following events:

* Sunshine Coast Sneaky Classic Monthly Tournaments (held on the first Wednesday of every month)

* Super-Major-Awesome League events (held once a quarter)

 

There will be over 100 events for players to participate in at this stage throughout the 10 months, so there is plenty of opportunity for players to qualify for the big dance! As per previous years, any player is eligible to qualify for this event.

 

This year's finals location will be at Pincadia - 1/14 Logan Rd, Woolloongabba, 4102. A big thank you to Dave & Tanya Lowe for hosting :)

 

There will be no cost for the players that make the final. This tournament is being supported through the clubs and players that attend each of the club meets throughout 2019.

QLD CHAMPIONSHIP WEEKEND EVENT DETAILS:

Preparations for the 2019 QLD State Championship is coming along quite nicely.

Thank you to those who have responded regarding attendance.

 

Just a quick reminder, there are a few events happening over the Championship weekend at Pincadia:

 

Friday 13th December @ 7pm - Flip Frenzy (non-IFPA event).

A fun, social event, for players to get used to surroundings, machines, etc. Open to everyone. $20 entry

 

Saturday 14th December @ 11am - 7-strike Fair Strikes.

Group elimination event. Expected to finish by 5-6pm approx. Once again, open to everyone. $15 entry.

 

Sunday 15th December @ 9.30am - 2019 QLD State Championship.

Open to all 2019 QLD Championship qualifiers, free entry. 4 rounds of 3 games Matchplay, cut to Top 16 finals. Likely finish 7-8pm.

Hoping to run some side comps for those that don't make finals.

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

QLD CHAMPIONSHIP QUALIFYING:

* Players will be placed into groups of 4 chosen at random (4 player games)

* 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

 

* There will be a total of 4 qualifying rounds (12 games per player). After each round, new groupings will be selected, according to points earned in the tournament to date

* Groupings are determined from the scoring in each round thereafter as follows: 1,2,3,4 .... 5,6,7,8 .... 9,10,11,12 .... 13,14,15,16 .... 17,18,19,20 .... 21,22,23,24 .... 25,26,27,28 .... 29,30,31,32 .... and so on, until all players have been grouped.

 

* All games will be played as a 4-player game (unless machine is unable to allow it).

* Matchplay software will allocate the games and order for each match.

 

* The top 16 players will advance to the Finals once completed.

* Ties for any players in 16th place will be determined by a single game playoff on any machine chosen at random.

* Ties for any players anywhere else in the Top 16 will be broken by the player with the most number of wins, then broken by 2nd placings, then by a tie-break game (if required).

 

QLD CHAMPIONSHIP FINALS:

* Finals will be played via a single elimination bracket. Each match will be contested as a best of 5 series.

* Highest seed has either choice of machine or play order. Machine chosen will remain the same for all 5 games (if required), while play order alternates between games.

* Players can only choose the same machine once during the finals series (ie. Once a player selects Deadpool, for example, they are unable to pick the same game again for the rest of the finals).

* The winner will be the last remaining player.

 

The winner of the QLD State Pinball Championship will win the Grand Prize of Free Entry into the 2020 ACS Tournament at Timezone, Coolangatta, QLD plus Accommodation (& Airfares if required) for up to 2 nights (any extra nights stay are to be paid for by the prize winner), valued at up to $1000. If the prize winner is ineligible, or is unable to attend the ACS Tournament, a suitable and equivalent prize will be awarded.

After nearly 2 months, we have a new qualified player's listing as at 11th May.

As you can see, there are a lot of players who have already qualified, and we still have 6 months left!

 

The side comp on the Saturday will no longer be the 'chess-swiss' style format. It will be replaced by a group Fair strikes elimination instead.
