2019-20 Championship Date Set
The Pintervention Championship for 2019 will take place at the House of Stone on April 18th, 2020.
Somewhat delayed this year, it has finally been scheduled. The top 40 players in the overall standings will compete in the 2nd version of the PAPA Stern Circuit event format.
All 40 players will play in 4 player groups, 4 game matches, with top 2 players advancing to 2nd round. Same format will repeat for the second round until 10 players remain.
The ladder round then begins with bottom 4 seeds playing one game. Loser is out and the next highest seed joins the group of 4 for another game. This continues until 2 players remain and then a best of 3 series is played to determine final winner.
Details will be sent with address, entry fee and other details to attending players directly the week before the event. Invites go out Sunday, March 1st.
Pinholics Anonymous proudly presents the Pintervention Championship Circuit, a year long qualifying event culminating in a championship tournament held after year's end at the House of Stone in McLean, Virginia.
The Pintervention Championship is a circuit event where players earn Pinholics Anonymous Tokens (e.g. WPPRs) for each Pinholics event they attend. The better a player performs, the more tokens they will receive.
