⚡️REMINDER⚡️ Weekly IFPA Tournament — Is on THIS TUESDAY (Jan 6) @ 7PM Instead of our normal Wednesday due to a private event

January’s Format of the Month: Pingolf Lite 🏌️‍♂️🎯

📍 Toad Rats Pinball @ The Bearded Ax
1077 E. Montague Ave. North Charleston, SC
🕕 Sign-ups: 6:45 PM | Start: 7:00 PM
💵 $10 entry (paid to the venue) = all-day free play + tourney entry

How Pingolf Lite works:
• Everyone plays a set of designated “holes” (pinball objectives on selected machines)
• Each ball = 1 stroke to complete the objective
• Miss the objective in 3 balls? That hole scores 4 strokes max
• Lowest total strokes = best qualifying

Finals (based on attendance):
🏆 Likely Top 4 advance to a 3-game group final using 7–5–3–1 scoring
Total finals points decide 1st–4th. Everyone else is ranked by qualifying.

New to Pingolf or tournaments? Come anyway — we’ll explain it quick before we start.
