18 "holes" (aka pinball machines) of PinGolf 

Players will join groups of 3 or 4 and play with that group for 3 holes.

Each hole will have a target score posted on the backglass.

A player's score (a.k.a. "Strokes") per hole is equal to number of balls it takes to achieve the target score. Achieve the target score with one ball and you get a hole-in-one!

You will have 5 balls on each hole to achieve the target score.

These holes will be set up with no ball save, no extra balls, and competition mode... but you have 5 balls ☺️.

Players who do not achieve a hole's target score within 5 balls will be given either 6 or 7 strokes based on the ranges posted.

Players record scores on group scoresheet.

After 3 holes (about an hour), groups turn in scoresheets.

Every hour, we will take a quick break (time permitting) and raffle off some amazing prizes from our sponsors.

Fresh player groups and new sets of 3 holes will be assigned each hour.

• ​After 6 rounds of 3 holes each, every player will have played 18 different holes.
  This will ensure you get to play with a wide variety of people over the course of the day.

First plunges will begin at 12 Noon sharp

• Players will have 3 minutes to get to their games! There is a lot of pinball to get to!​

Refer to the PAPA / IFPA Ruleset Quick Reference Guide for a TLDR; overview of the rules.
 

No practice between games.

TDs have right to change format in real-time for extraneous circumstances including scheduling or mechanical issues.

If a machine experiences a malfunction that cannot be immediately repaired, or if one hole causes a backlog, TDs reserve the right to remove that machine. All groups will skip that machine in that scenario. If  more than 80% of players have already completed that hole​, their scores will stand. The remaining players who have not recorded a score on the removed hole will receive the average score for that hole.

If there is a major malfunction (ie unfair loss of ball), then a compensation ball will be provided and strokes adjusted accordingly.

Players are responsible for getting to their games within 3 minutes at the start of the round and within 1 minute anytime thereafter during the round. Please notify a TD if a player is missing after that time. TD may provide a warning/penalty as follows:

• First time late - Warning

• Second late -  Disqualification on that hole. 

• Third late - Disqualification from tournament.
