Hi everyone! While some have been clamoring for another Pingolf tournament, I've become more fascinated with football or soccer lately than golf.</div>

Pre-Registration is required as the tournament need exactly 32 players. Maybe in future iterations we'll have qualification rounds just like FIFA, but all you need to qualify is to sign up on November 7th.</div>

The 32 players will be divided into 8 groups of four, and then essentially play a Pinburgh type bank (but with five machines instead of four) with FSPA scoring. Top two from each group move onto the knockout rounds, with the bottom two go into the consolation
knockout, which will be best of three all the way for some prize money.</div>

A-Division knockouts will feature soccer type single elimination matches. Each player will select two machines, one for each half of play. All choices will be played. If the match is tied 2-2, extra time will be played with each player selecting one more
machine. If tied at 3-3, we go to penalty kicks with a random machine and random order.</div>
