Steve Epstein, ahead of the tournament curve as usual, is certainly no exception, and for PAPA 5 he wanted to hold a special "mini-tournament" just for people on the Net. This tournament will be open to anyone who can send email or post news; entry into the mini-tournament is free, and there will be about $500 in prize money awarded.

• Each player plays 1 game on each of the 4 machines in the Doubles bank. (Note that these will be the same games as are in the finals, not the singles qualifying games.)

• Scores are totaled across all 4 games.

• The players with the 9 highest scores will move on to the semi-finals, where they will play 3-player, head-to-head games using the PAPA points scoring system.

• The players with the 4 highest scores will play in the finals, again using the PAPA points scoring system.

• Only 1 entry per player is allowed (as is the case with the PAPA Champions division).

The semi-finals will start at 4:00 PM; finals will start at 5:00 PM.

Prizes are as follows:

• 1st Place - $250
• 2nd Place - $125
• 3rd Place - $75
• 4th Place - $50

Special Internet trophies will also be awarded to the finalists (these are custom versions of the Broadway league trophies, and they look very snazzy).

Registration is simple: just send email to Steve Baumgarten with your email address and where you're coming from, and you'll be added to the official registration list below.

Thanks to everyone for the overwhelming response the Internet tournament has gotten; we'll be playing tomorrow morning, so stay tuned to the PAPA 5 page and rec.games.pinball for scores and results.

Final Standings:

I apologize to everyone who didn't get a chance to play; all I can say is that we did our best and promise to do better next year. Turnout for the RGP tournament surprised everyone; I don't think anyone expected more than a couple dozen entries at most, yet over 60 people registered via email and over 40 people got to play, with nearly 50 on the list Saturday afternoon (which means that about 10 people didn't get to play).
