Open League Night, Thursday October 17th, 2024.  This is the 1st of 6 league sessions.  New for 2024 – we’re doing multiple league seasons per year.  This is the 4th and final season to be held in 2024.  Each player’s top 4 League Nights will count toward the qualifying standings to determine who will move onto the League Finals. Only players that participate in at least 3 League Nights will be counted as eligible for playoffs and IFPA WPPR value purposes.

League Nights:
League nights will consist of 6 total games played in 3 or 4 player groups. Match points will be awarded based on a player’s finishing position on each game they play (7/5/3/1). Players will be randomly placed in new groups for each game.

League Finals:
League Playoffs will be held to determine the winner of the league after all 6 league nights have been completed. The format for this playoff will now be a best-of-7, head-to-head single elimination bracket. The number of players that qualify will be based on the number of total League Members. If 32 or more players participated in 3 or more league nights, the top 16 players will qualify, otherwise the top 50% of players (rounded down) will qualify & byes will be awarded in the 1st round if necessary. Playoffs will be on multiple days. First round will be Thursday December 5th starting at 5:00pm, the remaining rounds to be played Saturday morning starting at 8am December 7th at Phantom Amusement.
