All SPC results for each player will be credited to his or her total for the Circuit standings for that given season.

Please note that only players with registered IFPA profiles are eligible to participate in the Stern Pro Circuit Final. All players will be able to participate in any SPC event, regardless of their IFPA status. Players must be active in the IFPA database the entire year to be eligible for the SPC Final that season. For the following season, any suppressed players have until 12/31 of the current season to activate their profile and reinstate their eligibility.

Stern Pro Circuit Championship

The Circuit Final event is operated as a coordinated effort between Stern Pinball and IFPA, and therefore the latest version of the PAPA/IFPA unified rules apply, in terms of handling malfunctions, player behavior, official rulings, and all other guidelines. The Circuit coordinators are the designated tournament officials for the Circuit Final.

The Circuit Final will feature a group of pinball machines selected by officials. Machines outside this group may not be selected for play. Officials may make machine substitutions as they deem necessary.

 

1. Qualified Players

Final Circuit standings will be determined promptly after the last Circuit event. Any player in the top 32 of the rankings will be invited to the Circuit Final.

Qualified players will be notified promptly by Circuit coordinators. If a player cannot attend, their opening will be filled by the next highest seeded available player who has participated in the Circuit. Players who do not attend will not receive any prize from the Circuit Final.

 

2. Head-to-Head Single Elimination Bracket Finals

Players will be placed in a single elimination bracket based on the final seedings. Players seeded 1 through 8 will receive 2 byes, while players seeded 9 through 16 will receive 1 bye.

First round pairings are as follows:

17 vs. 32, 18 vs. 31, 19 vs. 30, 20 vs. 29,
21 vs. 28, 22 vs. 27, 23 vs. 26, 24 vs. 25

Second round pairings are as follows:

9 vs. 24/25 winner, 10 vs. 23/26 winner, 11 vs. 22/27 winner,
12 vs. 21/28 winner, 13 vs. 20/29, 14 vs. 19/30 winner,
15 vs. 18/31 winner, 16 vs. 17/32 winner

Third round pairings are as follows:

1 vs. 16/17/32, 2 vs. 15/18/31, 3 vs. 14/19/30,
4 vs. 13/20/29, 5 vs. 12/21/28, 6 vs. 11/22/27,
7 vs. 10/23/26, 8 vs. 9/24/25

Each match will be a best-of-three. The higher seeded player will have choice of machine or position for the 1st game, with the loser of each subsequent game having choice of machine or order, until someone has won 2 games. Machines can only be selected ONCE per player for the duration of the finals until all available selections have been exhausted. A machine may also not be played more than once in the same match. Once a player verbally announces their game choice, or chooses position, that decision will be locked in and cannot be changed.

Each player will have the opportunity for 30 seconds of practice time before starting every game of every match. This is to ensure that both players have a chance to get familiar with the machine.

The winner of the match advances to the next round, while the loser is eliminated.

 

3. Operational Details

Each player participating in the Circuit Final must provide a cellular phone number where they can be reached. Exact times for each round are not guaranteed. Any player who is missing when his or her round is set to begin will be allowed no more than 5 minutes to appear. Play will then continue, with balls being plunged for any missing player or players.

Collusion and deals are not acceptable in the Circuit Final.

 

4. Prizes

The Circuit Final features a guaranteed package of monetary prizes. The prize pool may be adjusted at any time based on additional event funds or sponsorship dollars received. The tentative prize pool is:

1st place –> $5000 + New Stern Pro pinball machine + Stern Pro Circuit Belt
2nd place –> $2000
3rd place –> $1500
4th place –> $1500

Tournament Selection Details

The Stern Pro Circuit will consist of 20 pinball tournaments. All tournaments throughout the world are eligible to participate if they qualify based on the criteria listed in section V.

The top 15 events with the highest average WPPR points awarded over the past 3 years will be invited to remain on the Circuit schedule the following season. The 5 events with the lowest average WPPR points awarded will be removed from contention for the following season. The next 5 largest tournaments with respect to average WPPR points awarded the past 3 years will then be invited to fill those 5 spots for the following season.

Please note that two Stern Pro Circuit events cannot be held within 50 miles of one another less than a week apart.

Please note that no location can hold more than one Stern Pro Circuit event in the same season.

Please note that event selection is at the discretion of SPC staff, and that any event may be included or excluded for any reason.

Circuit Notes

SPC will not “take over” events or force them to conform to PAPA’s or IFPA’s own formats or use specific games from any manufacturer in these events. SPC staff also has no desire to supersede the authority of local tournament directors. Our purpose is to provide guidance and advice on relevant topics, occasionally provide equipment upon special request, and to help promote.

Tournament directors are free to use their discretion as to what formats or strategies will best grow pinball in their areas, and ultimately whether an event succeeds or fails will be based upon their decisions, not SPC staff involvement. SPC staff believes that local tournament directors know their players, people, games, and locations better than we ever could, and so we respect each director’s ability to weigh any concerns and make decisions that best suit the event in question.
