[FSPA] Fairfax Pinball Open is coming October 5th-7th

[Kevin Stone]

We’re actually going to mirror it on NYC, which was 200, 190, 185, 184 and so on.  It didn’t really affect the top players but provides points in every game to newer players which might affect the B division.  We’ll see how it goes.  Basically it eliminates the 0 point games players get for 84th and on.  Unless we hit 180 players of course, then there’d be 0 point games.

Main is best 5 of 10, classics best 4 of 8.

Original HERB would take your score on all games for ranking, not a limited number.

Nobody even remembers the Original Herb.  What was it--20,19,18, ... 0 ?

It seems like every event since has been modified.

What is the modification on the Herb style, the same as baltimore I'm assuming?

The 12th annual Fairfax Pinball Open has returned after a 3 year hiatus.  Join us at Carpool in Fair Lakes on October 5th through 7th for a main and classics tournament.

See the web-site (http://pinholicsanonymous.com/home/fairfax-pinball-open/) for full details on format, pricing and to pre-register for tournaments.

There is a registration fee of $15 if you pre-register, or $20 at the door.  This goes towards all expenses with excess going towards the main prize pool.
Entry fees for game attempts are $2.50 / game, sold in $5 increments.  All prize pool money will be paid out in prizes minus IFPA fees of $1 / player.

Format summary:  Best game, modified Herb style for both main and classics.  Main is best 5 of 10 games, classics is best 4 of 8.
Playoffs for main will be top 32 qualifiers in a single elimination best 3 of 5 format.  Top 8 get two byes, next 8 get one bye and remaining 16 play first round.
Classics finals will be top 24 and play in PAPA style, 4 player, 3 game matches.  Top 8 players get first round bye.
There will also be a B division in main for the next 8 players that did not make the A finals, who are ranked 1000+ in IFPA.

We need volunteers for scorekeeping.  Each shift is 3 hours, with breaks available as needed.  Each shift will reward the volunteer with either registration fees + 2 game entries, or 6 game entries.  See the web-site for more details.  You can also register for shifts on the web-site.

We look forward to hosting a large format event again in Fairfax, Virginia.  Come on out and give it a try.
