Bobby Niefer has generously offered to open his home in Watauga, Texas to the DFW Pinball League's Fall Finals.
IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE LEAGUE FINALS, THIS TOURNAMENT STARTS AND IT IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
This is the famous, amazing custom game room / Lord of the Rings dungeon, as seen on TV!
Event Date is December 4.
Doors open and Registration starts for the League Finals at 11:30 AM.
There will be NO WARMUP prior to this time.
Finals start promptly (as close to NOON as possible) so:
If you can't be on time you MUST Facebook message, call, or text Louis Marx so he can get you added.
** If he does NOT respond to your communication within 5 minutes, he did not receive it - please resend. **
The cut-off for getting registered is at the START of the players meeting at the beginning of the playoffs/finals. Anyone arriving after that cannot be in the playoffs unless they have texted or direct messaged Louis Marx to let him know they are going to be late (so he can add them). So if you're not on time, PLEASE let him know so he can get you registered.
If you need the address please reach out to one of the hosts listed on this event page (including me), get it from the IFPA Pinball Calendar, or get it from the IFPA Pinball App (Free on Android/IOS).
MULTIPLE WAYS TO PLAY:
(Ways 3 and 4 below are open to ANYONE)
WAYS TO PLAY 1 AND 2:
----- DFW 2022 SPRING/SUMMER PINBALL LEAGUE FINALS (way to play 1) -The finals consists of the top HALF of the people that played in 3 or more league events.
Also, if someone in the top half does not attend, then the next highest seed in attendance will be allowed to play.
FOR THE FINALS - BE EARLY - ONCE THE PLAYERS MEETING STARTS, REGISTRATION IS CLOSED.
----- The DFW Women's League runs a concurrent event structured similarly to this one - see their Facebook page for specific rules.
WAY TO PLAY 3:
---- IFPA TOURNAMENT (Open to Everyone)-
The league finals start at NOON -
THIS tournament starts immediately AFTER the league finals.
We estimate that will be around 3:00 PM.
Attendance on this one is OPEN (no limit) so no need to RSVP!
This is a group matchplay style tournament.
Finals TBD -- but we usually do (1) Group Elimination/PAPA Style, (2) 2 Strikes, or (3) Best of 3 Brackets.
THERE WILL BE PLAYOFFS FOR BOTH A AND B DIVISIONS SO ALL SKILL LEVELS CAN PLAY AND WIN!
"A" finals affects standings.
Per IFPA rule, "B" does not - its for fun...
We have PRIZES for the B Division players and ...
... ALSO random door prizes for ANYONE in the tournament regardless of standings/rankings!
... Also, BOBBY usually has prizes of his own to give away (from his website, www.lordofthegameroom.com).
The B Division is restricted based on rules published on the league website -- many of the top players are excluded from the B Division.
This makes certain that ANYONE CAN WIN!
Late entrants will be allowed until sometime AROUND 4:30 PM (halfway through qualifying).
If you need to leave early, that's fine too, just please let me know when you're leaving.
WAY TO PLAY 4:
Based on the final standings from the tournament's qualifying (from way to play 3), we also hold a:
----- "KIDZ FINAL"
This is ONE GAME played by kids aged 16 and under for an age appropriate prize!
To insure that its fair for all kids and that everyone has a chance to win, a child will be EXCLUDED from the KIDZ FINAL for next two events after they WIN, thus giving other kids a chance to win too.
The KIDZ Final is unsanctioned and exclusive of the tournament playoffs. That means kids can play in BOTH!
As always, All skill levels welcome!! It's about having fun, eating, socializing, and playing pinball!!
AGAIN: If you need the address please reach out to one of the hosts listed on this event page (including me), get it from the IFPA Pinball Calendar, or get it from the IFPA Pinball App (Free on Android/IOS).
