To celebrate the first anniversary of Medway Pinball Club, we will be hosting two tournaments on Saturday 16th to Sunday 17th September!
Saturday: Max Matchplay
- Join us for a 10:30 start for a Max Matchplay competition. All players will play an equal number of head to head games over approx 4 hours (this will be 24 games, or less if there are fewer players signed up). Each game will be against a different player. Not everyone will be playing at once, so you’ll have time to wait inbetween games. If you have been to one of the Pinhaus competitions before – you’ll know how it works! There will then be a final for the top 16 players held as a group matchplay, with 1 game per round. Games chosen by top seed for each group. The top 2 players from each game will go through to the next round until 4 players remain. The finals will be 3 games (chosen randomly), scored as 4-2-1-0. Timings: Start 11:00, lunch 13:00 – 13:30, then 13:30 – 15:30 (approx) – Finals: 15:30 (approx) onwards
Sunday: Best Game
- Join us for a Best Game format with a twist from 11am! On arrival (before entering the venue) you will be assigned a scoresheet of 10 games – everyone will be assigned a random set of 10 games from the games at Medway. You will play your 10 games and note the scores on your paper (getting someone to verify each). There will be an equal number of players on each table (as much as possible). Qualifying will remain open until 14:30. The top 16 players will then go forward for a group matchplay, consisting of 3 x 4 player games for the top 16 players. Games chosen randomly (avoiding duplicates as much as possible), with top 2 players then going through to the next round. The final 4 will then play 3 games, scored as 4-2-1-0 (games chosen randomly). Timings: Qualifying: 11:00 – 14:30 – Finals: 15:00 onwards
Max capacity is 50 players each day. Entry (per day) is £25 (under-16s: £12). Payment on the day by card or cash. Both events will have trophies for the top 3 players and medals for the top 3 under 16s.
