ZEN-TOURNEY
2nd Annual Zen tournament announced
PinBrawl has grown by leaps and bounds the past few years and we are committed to
continuing that success and popularity. We are going to continue with a 2nd
tournament to offer even more fun things to do at PinBrawl. This tournament will
be a ZEN-STYLE tournament. Please read below and familiarize yourself
with this fun and exciting style of pinball competition. We hope we get many teams
interested in playing and look forward to seeing everyone who enters Pinbrawl tournaments
at the new location.
THANK YOU,
John Kosmal - Pinlicious@gmail.com
What:
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)
Where:
TBA
When:
TBA
Why:
To honor current Legends of Pinball honorees by using some of their most loved games
that they worked on, and because playing Zen-style is really fun and random (just
ask anyone in the Michigan Pinball League or anyone who has played in PinBrawl ZEN
last year.),
Trophies:
1st place in both A and B get trophies (these will be the same ones being awarded
in the main event) 4 trophies total
2nd place in both A and B get plaques (these will be the same ones being awarded
in the main event) 4 plaques total
Rules:
* Anyone can participate and be teammates.
* You may purchase up to 2 entries.
* You can only be matched up with any given player once.
* If you enter twice, you will be placed on the same side of
the bracket so you can't make it to the finals on two separate teams.
* 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.
Regardless of your skill level, everyone has an excellent chance of winning. This
tournament is designed to be more about fun and luck than about skill. While
skill is still involved, it has a lot to do with luck considering 2 players
are playing at once and that the tournament will be run on EM machines. If you are
a big fan of Norm Clark and Christian Marche and EM pinball machines, find a buddy
and sign up asap
The Bracket and seeding teams:
The field will be limited to 64 teams and will function like the NCAA tournament
bracket.
Seeding will be completely RANDOM Once we fill the field of 64, we will then
draw from a hat to get the match-ups. If a player enters twice, we will automatically
place them on the same side of the bracket before the drawing.
* A Bracket will have 32 teams
* B Bracket will have 32 teams
(we will seed teams from 1-64 and that will determine who is in A and who will be
in B.)
The Zen game(s): Machines designed by or Legends of Pinball will be used in this
tournament.
