Re: Ottawa Pinball Tournament
You have asked that and the answer is still yes
You just need to make it to level 2 in order to be eligible for the playoffs.
Qualifying will end at noon and playoffs will start at 1.

Re: Ottawa Pinball Tournament
Here is a question, from the description on the tournament, I am considered an "experieneced" player and should therefore play in the main tournament. However, anyone who's played me in the Ottawa league will tell you I may not be a beginner but my play is certainly not "A" materiel.
So, can I play in the "B" tournament or is that considered a faux pas?

Do you fall under any of these restrictions?the loafer wrote:Here is a question, from the description on the tournament, I am considered an "experieneced" player and should therefore play in the main tournament.

2. Skill Division Restrictions
Each registered player must choose only one division in which to play. A player may choose to move to a higher skill division, automatically voiding all entries in the lower division (no refunds are provided), but no player may move to the lower division without special permission from tournament officials.
The following restrictions are designed to discourage any player from intentionally competing beneath his or her level of skill:
• Any player who has qualified in the Canadian Pinball Championship of any previous year may not enter into the B division.
• Any player who has placed in the top four (or three, if only three players are ranked as winners) in any skill division of any other major pinball competition (e.g. Pinball Expo, IFPA, California Extreme, etc) may not enter the B division.
• Any Player who has ever placed in the top 3 positions in the Ottawa Pinball League playoffs may not play in the B division.
• Any player who has placed in the Top 3 B division of the previous O-Town Throwdown may not play in the B division the following year.
• At the discretion of the tournament officials, any player may be required to move to a higher division based on his or her performance or past league or tournament standings.
If not then you can play in B division

Re: Ottawa Pinball Tournament
Since practice games don't count, I'm pretty sure I have not finished in the top 3 positions in the OPL so I think I'm good for the B division . Thanks Adam.

It was a fun event. The only pin I had some luck on was Stern Quicksilver.

Re: Ottawa Pinball Tournament
Adam, Thanks for running a great tournament. It was fun and I believe the participants all enjoyed themselves.
Congrats to the top 10! You all had to step up and play really well to stay up there in the running. Cheers!

Re: Ottawa Pinball Tournament
