Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sean DonCarlos" data-source="post: 94068" data-attributes="member: 152">There is a bank of 9 or 10 machines for each division. You select 5 of them (your choice) and play. Your scores on each machine are then compared to all other scores on that machine (including your own previous scores) and assigned a point value based on its ranking in that list. The sum of the point values for the 5 machines are your score for that entry. And here's the kicker: You have to take that entry all or none. You can't mix and match, say, your TZ score from your first entry, your AFM score from your third entry, etc. So the system rewards consistently good play (at least consistent enough to play 5 decent games in a row), and prevents a "miracle" game from unduly distorting the results. It also discourages "grinding" each machine in turn until you get a good score on it and then moving on to the next, etc. (Editorial comment: And this fact is why I keep harping that TPA should use this system for its own tournaments, because it equalizes between players who have a lot of free time and those who just have a little.)Top 16 entries in each division at the end of day Saturday qualify for the playoffs.</blockquote>
