TBPL MAR MEETUP 4/16 @ *** pindan3's ***

[jbeam]

Come join the Tampa Bay Pinball League for our monthly tournament, which is held every third Saturday.  Details to come, it will be $10 for the tournament and we will need an accurate head count.


I'm going to ATTEMPT to host a 9 round pin golf tournament. I will post the rules soon.


 This will NOT be for IFPA points.

Any questions or comments feel free to speak up 


*UPDATE:

-Players will play with at least 1 other player, up to 4 players per hole. Each player plays for the target score indicated on the score card. The number of balls played to reach the target score will be counted as "Strokes"

-Each game will count as one hole played. When the group is done on a hole it will move on down to the next one. Each round will be 9 games (holes)

-The 9 games will be a mix of DMD & SS

-There is a course maximum of 6 Pin-Strokes per Pin-Hole. Should you not reach the Target Score after playing FIVE balls, record a score of 6 and move on to the next Pin-Hole.

-If a player earns an extra ball, this will not be counted as an additional Pin-Stroke, but rather as a continuation of the current ball being played.

-The player with the lowest score at a Pin-Hole takes the honor of playing first on the following Pin-Hole. The competitor with the second lowest score plays next and so on. If two or more competitors have the same score at a Pin-Hole, the play in the same order as the previous Pin-Hole.

-This will be a casual play tournament, not for IFPA points.

-Pay out will be the usual

1st - 60%
2nd - 30%
3rd - 10%

Never played pinball golf before. Sounds like fun!

Vacation day already approved.

Pingolf is very fun.

To the TD, after determining what score is par, I would strongly suggest trying it out firsthand.  Often times the par score is set too high and many players end up with a string of max strokes which is not fun.

From my experience in keeping track of statistics, the par score should usually be much lower than one thinks it should be since the tourney atmosphere often changes the dynamic of the game.

Anyway, Enjoy!  Looking forward to hearing about it.

Thanks for the advice! I'm will take it into consideration cause I've never played nor ran a pingolf so its gonna be a huge learning experience.

If you need any help, feel free to PM or call.

Just set the par score to whatever Dan's grand champ score is on each game.  Should be easy enough to get that many points on a ball or two...

Strawberry shortcake you say...  Should I bring some vanilla a la mode?

Heya Dan
so Im thinking you don't own any EMs? I mean how can it be a tournament without any REAL pinball machines? 
or MAYBE, just MAYBE, y'all are scared to compete against the "EM brigade of Florida" team? 

[pindan3]

I kept rolling the EM's over and needed games with more of a challenge!
