City Mulligan
This event will be held concurrently with the San Francisco City Champ playoffs at Free Gold Watch in San Francisco, and so you'll have the opportunity to catch some world class play in between your own tournament games. Everyone is welcome to join the fun!

Location
Free Gold Watch, 1767 Waller Street, San Francisco, CA.
Cost to Play
Free for players who participated in the City Champ tournament on Saturday. For everyone else, $10. Players will also be responsible for the cost of games played during the tournament.
Format
Objective based pin-golf followed by playoffs.
Qualifying Round
In groups, participants will play through a 9 hole course, with each hole being a different pinball machine. Every game will have an objective posted (example: destroy two saucers on Attack from Mars), and the player's goal is to accomplish that objective in the fewest balls possible. Each ball played on the machine counts as a stroke, and the players with the fewest strokes after completing the course will advance to finals.
Anticipated Tournament Games
Not sure yet! But we will try to post something closer to the event.
Playoffs
Following the qualifying round, the top 4 qualifiers* will advance to playoffs. Playoff format will be more pin-golf! Finalists will play through a mini-course of 4 holes using pin0golf scoring. At the end of the course, players will be ranked against one another based on how many strokes the course took them to complete.
* If we have more than 40 players, playoffs format will be modified to accommodate at least 10% of participants.
Awards
We'll have awards and cash prizes (assuming there are any cash entries) for first through fourth place.
Eligibility
This tournament is open to anyone who wants to play! Players of all skill levels, even total beginners, are encouraged to participate. We're here to have fun.
