Tournament Details:
- Flipper Frenzy tournaments are, as the name implies, a ‘frenzied’ tournament. Players will be playing head-to-head matches on as many games as possible for 2 and ½ hours straight (frenzy time may be paused at the tournament director’s discrepancy).
- When the tournament starts, head-to-head matches are created using Match Play as the tournament format, and any player(s) not assigned to a match are placed in a queue.
- When each match ends, tournament will progress as follows:
○ Player 1 (regardless of win or loss) will become Player 2 on said game.
○ Player 2 will then go to the bottom of the queue.
○ The player at the top of the queue will become Player 1 on a new game.
○ The tournament will progress in this manner until the timer runs out.
○ The Top 4 players with the most net wins (total wins minus total losses) will then play 3 rounds of 4-player matchplay on Pokémon, using Pinburgh scoring (3/2/1/0) to determine the winners!
- Fewest losses will be used for a tie. Ties will be broken by comparing the number of lost matches.
- 1st place wins a brand-new Pokémon Stern Translite and 2nd through 4th place each win a gift card.
