Rules
- The competition will consist of a series of rounds, in each of which players will play head to head on a number of machines drawn at random from all the functioning machines at the show.
- If all players in a match agree, they may request one substitute machine in each round (to avoid playing a malfunctioning or badly set up game)
- Maximum competition entries will be limited to 64 (if less than the maximum number is reached the numbers below may be modified to suit the actual entries)
- “Best of 3” will be calculated on a win/lose basis, with the first player to win 2 games being declared the winner, at which point the round ends for that pair.
- “Mini league” results will be calculated on a Points basis (1st place 9 pts, 2nd 5 pts, 3rd 2 pts, 4th 0 pts)
