The main competition will be a two-life knockout competition based on the Brackelope run (see rules below).

There will also be a side competition.

World Pinball Player Ranking points will be available.

Cost per person £7.50 (£5 if under 14 years old).

Please apply for entry via https://www.facebook.com/groups/285606738264858/ and register your entry with PayPal by sending £7.50 to sales@pinball-led.co.uk. Please leave a note with your PayPal payment with your full name. You will be added to the list.

There will be trophies for the top three places and the side tournament winner.

Entry is limited to a maximum of 40 people.



Knockout! Format Rules

In each round, all the participants are paired into two player matches.

If there are an odd number of players in a round, one person will get a bye that round. There are checks in place to prevent a player getting a second bye before anyone else gets their first bye.

After the round is complete, the total number of losses or 'strikes' are tallied for each player. If a participant has the maximum allowed number of strikes, they do not proceed to the next round and are eliminated.

Players with less than the maximum allowed number of strikes proceed to the next round and are randomly drawn into the next set of match pairs.

Last participant standing wins!
