Rules.

Lot of games, lot of WPPR points, minimized luck factor.
Details:

Classics
High-Score format qualification. 6 machines have to be selected from a bank of (at least) 12. One 'multiplayer' game per machine where the participant plays as player 1, 2 and 3, so multiballs can be combined. All 3 scores count. You will get 16 hours to make your 6 games. Top 16 advances to the head-to-head finals.
Best-of-five, single elimination into 8 and 4.
4-player final on one machine in the the end.

Modern
Players will be assigned into groups of 16 (we will use IFPA ranking to equalize the groups). One game against each other, number of wins counts. Best 7 advance from each group.
On the next stage we merge 2 groups' players (4 groups of 14). Players will keep results from the previous round, so only the new players (coming from the other group) have to be challenged. Best 6 from each group advances, best 2 qualified into 16.
Between 24: 4 groups of 4 players (all opponents will be new). 3 multiplayer games for 8-5-3-1 scores. Best 2 from each group advance into the 16.
Same between 16 and 8.
4-player final on 1 machine with 5 balls.

You are welcome!!!
