Zen-Tourney Format

A Zen Tournament is where 2 players form a team and play at the same time. 
One player takes the left side of the machine and one player takes the right.  
You are allowed to play any way you like as long as you only use the flipper buttons on your side of the machine. 
(yes, you can have your other hand on the machine for nudging) 
 
  Anyone can participate and be teammates 
 
You may purchase up to 2 entries. 
You can only be matched up with any given player once . 
We will break up the 32 teams into 4 Regions (North, South, East, West) with 8 teams in each region. 
If you enter twice, you will be placed within the same region so you can't make the finals on two separate teams, but it is possible for the same person to make the semis of that region.  
You *MUST* have 2 different partners if you wish to purchase two entries. 
Each player operates only the flipper buttons on their side of the machine, you may alternate from ball to ball but not during the same ball in play.  
Either player may plunge the ball, you may also alternate from ball to ball. 

This is a single elimination tournament. (once you lose, you are out) 
2 teams will compete at the same time (HEAD TO HEAD) with the winner advancing to the next round. The match will be best 2-out-of-3, with games being chosen at random by the tournament directors. A coin toss will determine which team has choice of 1st or 2nd on the first game of the match. The losing team of each subsequent game will have choice of position.

Once we get the final team from each of the four regions, a 3-game final will begin. This final will pit all 4 teams against eachother at the same time. Teams will earn points based on their finishing position for each of the 3 games. 4 points for 1st, 2 points for 2nd, 1 point for 3rd and 0 points for 4th. The games will be chosen at random, and any ties for first place will result in a one game playoff chosen at random. 
 
 All other PinBrawl rules apply during match play.
