Please note that 7:15pm is the START TIME. Registration begins in the arcade at 6:45pm and closes at approximately 7:05pm; earlier if it fills up.
This event will be Six Strike Group Knockout, meaning groups of 3 or 4 players. Winner of each game gets no strikes. Loser gets 2 strikes. Other players get 1 strike (2nd in 3-player game, both 2nd and 3rd in a 4-player game). The tournament will end when all remaining players have earned packages. At that time, the player with least number of strikes is declared winner. If there is a tie, then one final game among tied players to determine the winner. A plaque is awarded to the winner.
This is a 21+ tournament.
