is there going to be a link to standings?

Main standings (although site appears to be down currently)

Classic standings

Depending on the internet speed from the site there could be multiple streamers. Ill add them here when on get on-site and determine who’s streaming.

Looks great. Is this in the remodeled room on the left side of the building? I didn’t realize pins were going in there, thought it was just lazer tag. Really looking forward to this event!

www.twitch.tv/pinballr will be streaming

The internet service went down to nothing at times on Saturday so no streaming happened Sunday. Flippers’ manager had their internet provider out on Saturday but it wasn’t a local problem. We’re researching how to preserve and guarantee good service in the future. Much appreciation to pinballr/Mr. Kyle for the nice setup and streams on Saturday.

The lazer tag is partially in what used to be an adjacent space in the building. It is reconfigured with pins in the main room and back room as before, all the arcades moved to the smaller middle room, and the ticket games up front. It is a really nice setup with brand new arcade carpet (no more vinyl tile floor!) and also with recessed lighting positioned well back from the games.

Wanted to personally thank everyone who volunteered , played and was a part of the PAPA circuit event at flippers . It was our first time being a part of the circuit and hope everyone had a good time. Would like to get feedback on every aspect of the tournament to make the next one even better.
Here is a few bullet points for next year.
-We will up the qualifying of games from 8 to 10 to maximize TGP on IFPA sorry for that.

  • will make the semi final and final rounds best of 5
    -will move classics finals to start right after qualifying ends , ended late on Saturday night when we had to comeback to place early Sunday morning.

These are just a few of changes and look forward to next time. Would enjoy thoughts from those in attendance .

whoa, that sounds like a whole lot of games? If you take top 24 into the finals pretty, even with 3 games per round, you already get 88% TGP with 12 4players games so it’s hard not to get 100% TGP nowadays :slight_smile:

We did not do the normal papa 4 player 4-2-1-0 games it was a head to head best of three .

8 games qualifying = 32%
16 hours unlimited qualifying = 16%
Finals - Top 24 - best of 3, head2head, single elimination = 11 games = 44%

Total was 92% . We hope to be fortunate to run another PAPA event next year at Flippers and if so we’ll make some slight adjustments to get 100%.

the 2nd part may make it 100% because you will be extending the expected path to victory [quote=“ZenTron, post:18, topic:2163”]
Finals - Top 24 - best of 3, head2head, single elimination = 11 games = 44%

IFPA TGP guide says a best-of-5 bracket for 4 players (which would be semi-finals and finals) would be 8 games toward TGP or 32%

I’m assuming that the 11 games in a 24-person bracket come from 4 rounds where the expected number of games is 2.5 (assuming each game is 50/50 then half of games will be resolved in 3 games and half will be resolved in 2 games.) plus you get something for the first bye round… maybe 1.25 games? rounded down? that makes 11?

So maybe if you do the best-of-5 rounds it is 5+8 games towards TGP bringing it to 52% TGP?

You assume correctly. 2.5*4+1.25=11.25 games, rounded down to 11.

Expanding just the semi-finals and finals to best-of-5 games won’t increase the TGP. For brackets with an inconsistent number of games in each round, the minimum number of games in a round is used to calculate TGP.
