Calendar

The league will use seven weeks of group matchplay qualifying. Each week players will compete in groups of four on five games. Players will be awarded points based on finishing position. Points will accumulate across the season to determine overall league standing. Players must play in at least 4 weeks to qualify for playoffs and for their participation to count for IFPA pts. The best 5 weeks will be used to determine eligibility for playoffs, so players can safely drop two weeks. The top 16 players will be eligible for finals which will use a group elimination format (aka PAPA style).

Players are placed in groups of 3-4 and play on a random machine. The bottom two players (bottom player in three player groups) of each game receive a “strike”. Players who receive three strikes are eliminated.

Tournament at the Mueller's house!

Ladies are placed in groups of 3-4 and play on a random machine. We will play 5 rounds of 2 games for a total of 10 qualifying games. Top players will compete in finals.
