You asked for it, so we’re doing it again! 3 breweries — 1 epic showdown! Have a drink, socialize, play some pinball, and win some cash!Qualifying will be held simultaneously at both Golden Cactus Brewing (214 5th St. SW) and across the street at Big Lick Brewing Co (409 Salem Ave. SW), followed by playoffs at a third location TBD.
Participants will play each game at least once between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. on the available pins during qualifying. Each game may be played up to 3 times in an effort to increase your score on each machine, potentially moving you up in the rankings as you outscore other opponents. Points will be awarded based on how you rank against everyone else on that machine.
Top 4 in the standings at 4 p.m. will go on to the playoff. We will re-convene at 5 p.m. at the final location (likely to be either Twisted Track Brewpub or A Few Old Goats Brewing) for a 3-game playoff. Prize money will be distributed to all 4 finalists as follows — 1st: 50%, 2nd: 25%, 3rd: 15%, 4th: 10%.
Cost to register is $15, and machines will be on coin play. 100% of entries will go to the prize pool. Please bring cash, as we will be unable to process credit cards. A change machine will also be on site at both Golden Cactus and Big Lick.
UPDATE: This event will unfortunately NOT be IFPA-sanctioned, as it takes place in multiple locations.

FAQ
Q: How much money should I bring?
A: Approximately $40. $15 for registration, and enough cash to coin-up each machine at least once — There are 14 total games ranging from $0.50-$1.00 per game, and it is encouraged to play them more than once (but no more than 3 times), in an effort to increase your chances of having a “good” score.
Q: When/where do I register?
A: Registration on the day can be done in CASH at Golden Cactus, which opens at noon. Pre-registration may be done via Paypal by sending your entry fee (Friends & Family only) to [email protected]. Please state who is participating and for which event.
Q: Do I need to show up right at 1 p.m.?
A: No! As long as you can play all 10 qualifying games at least once, you’re good. But, the earlier you come, the more time you have to get in multiple attempts.
Q: What if I didn’t get to play a game (or games?)
A: If you ran out of time, you’ll take a zero on any game you didn’t get to, but that score may be dropped in the event of a malfunction.
Q: When will this end?
A: Qualifying stops at 4 p.m., Playoffs begin at 5 p.m. and should be done by approximately 6 p.m.
