@phendricks

one additional person who is playing in his 6th.

Would this be “Mr. West Virginia State Champ” himself?

I made a spreadsheet for this year (copying @timballs from last year) where people can add in winners and runner-ups to have it in a central location.

`I was referring to Fred. This is his 5th PA along with one Illionis.

Although this is my 6th as well - PA year one before WV existed, and WV every year there has been one.

Same for me, but swap “ON” for “PA” and “VT” for “WV”.

From 3 years ago:

@gdd

IFPA specifies that all ties have to be played out this year.

@pinwizj

In the past we made it ‘IFPA Rep choice’ for whether matches got played out or not.

This then of course led to that not being communicated properly, and we ran into MULTIPLE states where we had player complaints where players left after they were eliminated, only to find out that they were playing everything out, but the player says that the IFPA Rep never made everyone aware of it, blah blah, drama, fun stuff.

I figured might as well force the issue and make it part of the program, and now players are welcome to just leave at their leisure if they don’t want to play any of the consolation brackets, but know that there’s no ambiguity as to why they will be put in 16th place if they do that.

These posts are from 3 years ago when the rule became consolation brackets are played out to determine all places 1st to 16th, but on the current rules page it says

The 3rd/4th place Consolation Final will be played as a best-of-three instead of a best-of-seven like all other rounds, using the same rules. It is up to the IFPA State Representative as to whether matches will be played out to determine 5th through 16th (or 24th) place.

Is this a mistake or was the rule changed back to the State Rep having the choice of whether consolation brackets are played out?

And if the State Rep chooses to have (or it’s required that) matches be played out to determine 5th through 16th (or 24th) is it required that these are all best-of-3 matches? It doesn’t specify in the rules what format should be used to determine 5th through 16th.

NACS Official Rules

Rule was changed back. TD discretion for if/how/when/why any consolation matches are to be played (outside of the 3rd/4th match).

NYC Pin Pod will have coverage of the New York SCS in the form of a live audio podcast. Intermittently throughout the day, segments will pop up at https://www.spreaker.com/show/nyc-pin-pod as they are broadcast live from the event. Notifications of when they go live will also appear at twitter.com/nycpinpod

Benjamin, the creator of NYC Pin Pod, is playing in the event, so I will be guest hosting many of the segments.

Thanks. And outside of the 3rd/4th match the consolation matches can be any type of format, not restricted to head-to-head matches or a bracket? For example, to determine 9th through 16th the TD could have the 8 first round losers play a 2 strikes match play tournament with 4-player groups?

[djreddog]

Totally your call at that point.

[chuckwurt]

Yep but it won’t affect the WPPR value of the tournament if that’s what you’re thinking. Just used as a tiebreaker of sorts.

[JShop]

Thanks. I’m not the TD. I’m not worried about WPPRs. I just like details and having things spelled out, rules, etc. And when newer players in my area getting into competitive pinball ask me about such things I can give accurate info.
