Upon arrival to the May Day Pinball Tournament, all players must register or sign in at the door. If you have pre-registered then just sign in and play some pinball.

    Every half hour two names will be drawn at random and one game will be drawn at random. This pairing will play one game and the winner gets one point. At the end of the day , the top 50% of the point leaders will advance to the head to head match up.

    Elimination head to head play. This format will be followed until there is one Pinball Wizard, "There can be only ONE". The rules for head to head play include NO bang backs or death saves. We will follow the same format as the qualifying round but this time the players will play for best two out of three games. For each round the winner will advance to the next round. The final two players will play against each other on a game that is randomly drawn.

    Anyone helping to maintain or repair games will not be allowed to compete. Anyone complaining will be disqualified. In other words if you don't like our rules then start your own tournament.

    If an easy problem happens to a game like a stuck ball, it will be unstuck, ball returned to shooter lane and play continues. If a bigger problem occurs, game play is started over on a new machine with credits refunded. All final judgments, rulings, and decisions shall be determined by the tournament director.
