9AM Tournament Starts

This is a Group Match Play Qualifying with Random Pairings to start and tiered swiss thereafter if available. If Tiered Swiss is not available then we will do Swiss. 7 rounds (2 game banks). 7/5/3/1 scoring per game. After 7 rounds the Top 12-16 Players make the Main Playoffs on Saturday. We will have ‘B’ (Next 8 players) and ‘C’ playoffs (Next 8 players). Players with an IFPA rank of 1 to 1500 will not be eligible for B or C playoffs. Everyone will be seeded 1-16. Automatic Tie Breakers will be turned on. The exception to Automatic Tiebreakers will be for 16th position. That position will have a 1 game playoff drawn at random by the tournament director immediately at the conclusion of qualifying. This will be done so all players know who are in the finals, who has a choice of banks, and who they are playing in the 1st round.

Match Play Playoffs
September 29 @ 9:00 am – 3:30 pm CDT

Playoffs will be Groups of 4 players, 3 Rounds (quarter finals, semi finals, and finals) Total, on 4 Game Banks with 3/2/1/0 scoring. Top 2 advance & bottom 2 eliminated. Final position 1st-16th will be determined solely by your play in the playoffs. No points carry over from qualifying. 16th position is significant. All players who are tied at 16th who participate in the 1 game playoff who do not end up in the top 16 will have their final position in the tournament determined by the score of this one game playoff. So if 10 people are tied for 16th and only 1 makes it to the final, the other 9 will have 17th-25th position will be determined by their finishing score/position on that tiebreaker game.
