IFPA WC cut line?

Events
42

I guess it is as mentioned before, so many large events happening with a much bigger attendance and therefore WPPRs? Im not really sure why there had to be an Open WC, instead keeping the IFPA WC somewhat more “closed” and unique. But personally I will attend more for the experience, meeting other fantastic players etc. But also for example the week before there is the fulda olympics with 11 tournaments over 5 days, so if people want the wppr farming they will rather travel there than the trip over to US for a WC, sadly ?

but for me WC is more prestige than going for the wpprs :slight_smile:

Surely the only point in earning (these completely imaginary, no physical value) WPPR’s is to qualify for the IFPA World Championship? Farming for what purpose? I don’t get it…

Anyone have any insider info on these? List taken from the Pinball Asylum website. Still nothing on the IFPA calendar.

Curious about formats and if they’re multi-day or single-day events.

Was there a glitch with the cutline or something? When I checked earlier this week, Dave Stewart was above the cut line and I was the first alternate. Now it’s back to where it was…

One of the Australia Country Exemption spots shifted to a new player. I deleted the old player, added the new player, but forgot to mark them as “attending”. It was during that time where everyone shifted up one spot.

Will the Pre-IFPA17 tournaments be using the same games as IFPA17?

any idea on the start time for the pre-tourney? If we fly in on Wednesday, what time is the start time for that one for example? :slight_smile:

Karl-- There will certainly be some cross-over. We should have about 90 machines available for the pre-tournaments and IFPA17.

I posted this time-schedule on the Google group Josh started:

thanks! 6PM, Is that the cut off to register/tournament start time? Maybe too early flying from the west coast that day unfortunately.

@Doghouse

What are the details on the Flip Frenzy event?

  • Entry fee / Payout structure
  • Length of qualifying / playoffs
  • How many make playoffs

I checked the IFPA calendar listing but didn’t learn much. I’ll assume it’s not actually 50 hours of qualifying or 50 games played.

The times listed are for opening times, with our tournaments typically starting within 30-60 minutes of those times. We are fine-tuning starting and finishing times now.

@jdelz

This will be posted shortly, but Entry fees each day will be $25.00 for Sunday-Wednesday. Tournament fees will be $40 for Match-Play, $20.00 for Flip-Frenzy, and $20.00 for 4-Strikes. 100% of the tournament fees will be paid out to the players. We will also award trophies.

We are still formulating length of qualifying and playoffs. I hope to release all of this with a week or so. Thanks for your patience.
