CLASSIC BATTLES |
|---|
Throughout Pinburgh '98 while the main pinball competition is running, we will also be holding side tournaments on the classic home video game system, the Atari 2600.
For all except the first battle, play will take place on a one-on-one single-elimination basis. Therefore for these competitions, either the first 8, 16 or 32 players who sign up for it will be allowed to enter. Each battle will have a $3 entry fee, with half of the pot as a winner-take-all prize (the other half will be going towards defraying the costs of the tournament). Winners will also receive their pick from our small prize collection.
The first battle will be a singles competition with the highest single score of all entrants winning. Players may only enter once.
