Never Cry VÜK in a Knockout

Pinholics Anonymous is proud to present the semi-annual Never Cry VÜK in a Knockout tournaments held at VÜK in Bethesda, Maryland.

This tournament aims to be one of the largest tournaments held each year in the Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia region, and will have an unlimited number of spots.

The format will use the relatively new knockout formats, called Fair and Progressive. The March tournament will use the Fair method, and the September tournament will use the Progressive method. This basically means players will play in 4 player groups (or 3 when necessary), and receive strikes for each player that defeats them in each game.

Both tournaments will also comprise a finals component for last 8 remaining players, PAPA style 4 player/3 game matches using game banks.

Entry fee will be a flat $25, coin drop of $.50 / game is also required. New players and anyone above IFPA rank of 10,000 will get in FREE!!! The events will also be part of the Pintervention Circuit Championship, held annually in McLean with a $2000 prize pool.

Come join us, meet new people, and feed your pinball addiction in a fun filled day of low stress competition at a low cost.
