02/18/2024 - Penguin Plunge Pingolf
Date: Sunday, February 18, 2023
Warmups: 11:00am
Start: 12:00pm
End: 10:00pm
Format: All games will be played in pingolf format. Every game will have a specific defined objective (not score-based) and all games will be set to 5-ball play. A player's score is the ball number when they achieved the objective. If the objective is not achieved, the player gets a score of 6.
Qualifying: 9 games (each with a specific objective) will be chosen for the qualifying round with additional games/objectives used as backups in case of technical problems.
Players will be put into groups of 4. All groups will play the same 9 games/objectives.
A player's qualifying score is the sum of their score from all 9 games.
All players are ranked by their score (lower scores being better, of course). Ties will be broken in this order: the number of "holes in one", the number of 2-score games, the number of 3-score games, and so on. After applying tie-breakers if there are still any ties, a tie-breaker pingolf game will be played on a randomly selected game from among the unplayed backups.
A players qualifying score is the sum of all 9 holes. Qualifying scores are ranked to seed the entire field. The top 16 players will move on to the finals rounds
Finals: There will be three finals rounds. In each round, each group will play a bank of 3 Pingolf games. A new set of games/objectives will be used for all finals rounds, all games put into banks of 3 games. High seeds get to pick bank or position. If a game has a technical problem and is taken out, the player that chose the bank will get to choose a game from the backups to complete the round.
The round score for each player will be the sum of all 3 games. Players in each round are ranked within their group and the top 2 will move on to the next round. Ties will be broken in the same manner as the Qualifying Round.
Quarter-Final Round
The top 16 players will be put into 4 groups of 4 using snake-style picking. Top 2 players in each group move on to the Semi-Final round.
Semi-Final Round
The top 8 players will be put into 2 groups of 4 using snake-style picking. Top 2 players in each group move on to the Final round.
Final Round
The top 4 players will compete in a single group. After the 3 games, their rankings determine the 1st through 4th place finishes.
WPPR Points: All scores will be recorded and posted to IFPA, including average scores for each game. Final WPPR points earned are determined after scores are submitted (after the tournament).
ENTRY FEE: $15 for members, $20 for non-members. Each entry fee includes $1 IFPA fee and $5 RPC tournament fee.

Finals: Survivor (Amazing Race) for the top 8 qualifiers. Players will be seeded based on total points earned during qualifying. Ties for qualifying spots will be determined by strength of opponents played.
