In case of ties, the qualification order will be taken into account.
The target is to achieve a 200% TGP value for the IFPA world ranking. Since this is the main Slovenian tournament and also counts for ECS (European Championship Series), it will receive an additional bonus for a total of 300% TGP value.

The exact format (number of lives for each player and the format of the finals) will be determined approximately 14 days before the tournament when all information about participants and pinball machines is available.
The goal is for most players to finish by approximately 16:00, and the finalists by 19:00.
Pinball Machines
The exact list of pinball machines will be available a few weeks before the tournament. Approximately half of them will be Bally/Williams machines from the 90s, and the other half will be newer Stern machines.

Sliši se strogo, vendar imamo na voljo le omejeno število mest, za katera pričakujemo veliko povpraševanje.
Podrobnosti lokacije in Parkirišče:
Biljardna Hiša Ljubljana – Slovenska je na robu centra mesta Ljubljane, na “Bavarskem dvoru”.
Boljše lokacije za dostop peš ali z javnim prevozom si tako ne bi mogli želeti.
Praktično zraven glavne železniške postaje, tik ob avtobusni postaji “Bavarski dvor” in 10 minut peš do čistega centra mesta.
Dostopnost z avtom je malo slabša, vendar so še vedno na voljo parkirišča v bližini. Parkiranje na ulici (če najdeš mesto) je plačljivo od 7h do 19h (1,30 €/h).
Predlagamo, da pustite avto pri svojem hotelu in se do lokacije odpravite peš.
V kolikor bo druga lokacija Biljardne Hiše še delovala, boste lahko tam brezplačno pustili avto (10 minut peš). Več informacij boste še prejeli pred turnirjem.

Hoteli in prenočišča:
V bližini lokacije je toliko hotelov in apartmajev, da jih nima smisla naštevati, z nobenim pa nimamo kakšnega posebnega dogovora.
Predlagamo, da preverite na Bookingu ali podobnih straneh, vpišete naslov “Slovenska cesta 58, Ljubljana” in si izberete svojo nastanitev.

Hrana:
Biljardna Hiša Ljubljana ima svojo kuhinjo in bo za tekmovalce pripravila prilagojen meni ter poskrbela za pravočasno razdelitev hrane med turnirjem. Ob prijavi prosimo označite interes za organizirano hrano na prizorišču. Naročili in plačali jo boste na dan dogodka na lokaciji.
Preostanek dneva si boste lahko naročili hrano iz njihove redne ponudbe.
https://www.biljardna-hisa.com/menu/hrana.html
Ker bomo v centru Ljubljane, je v bližini tudi ogromno drugih ponudnikov prehrane, kamor se lahko odpravite, če vam zadiši kaj drugačnega.
V tem primeru prosim upoštevajte časovnico turnirja in tuje hrane ne vnašate / naročate v Biljardno Hišo.
