<p class="MsoNormal">The 12<sup>th</sup> annual Fairfax Pinball Open has returned after a 3 year hiatus. Join us at Carpool in Fair Lakes on October 5<sup>th</sup> through 7<sup>th</sup> for a main and classics tournament.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">See the web-site (<a href="http://pinholicsanonymous.com/home/fairfax-pinball-open/">http://pinholicsanonymous.com/home/fairfax-pinball-open/</a>) for full details on format, pricing and to pre-register for tournaments.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Classics finals will be top 24 and play in PAPA style, 4 player, 3 game matches. Top 8 players get first round bye.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We look forward to hosting a large format event again in Fairfax, Virginia. Come on out and give it a try.<o:p></o:p></p>
