• Sliding a game into another game (including any attached cup holders) will result in an automatic score of 6 strokes awarded to the offending player.

Qualifying Round:

• Players will be put in groups of 2, 3, or 4, depending on turn out and time constraints.
• Each player in the group will play for a target score indicated on the machine.
• The number of balls played to reach the indicated target score will be counted as "Strokes".
• Each game counts as a single hole.
• Once a group completes a hole, the group will move to the next hole in order.
• The qualifying round will be 9 holes (9 games).
• There is a maximum of 6 strokes per hole.
• If a player does not reach the goal within 5 balls played, their score will be recorded as a 6 (6 strokes).
• Lowest scoring player (fewest strokes) plays first on the next hole. Second lowest score plays next, and so on.
• After all 9 holes have been played, each player may play a single mulligan hole to replace a single hole's score. If played, you MUST take this new score.
• At the end of qualifying (9 holes), the top 12 players (or the top half of all players if less than 24) with the fewest strokes will advance to the finals.
• Ties will attempt to be broken by a formula. If tie breakers are still needed, players will compete in a group on a single randomly chosen machine for high score.

Finals Round:

• Seeding is based on the number of strokes from qualifying, with the lowest total strokes as the top seed.
• Players will be assigned to a group of 3 or 4 according to seed.
• Each group will play a total of three holes.
• The two players with the lowest number of strokes after three holes will advance to the next group, with the other player(s) being eliminated each round.
