Pin Diemen's Land

Kick things off on Friday night with a strikes tournament to get warmed up and dialled in on the machines ahead of the main event. It’s the perfect way to settle in, learn the lineup, and get your eye in early — with plenty of time to grab some food, enjoy a few drinks, and catch up with everyone.

Targeting 5 strikes (depending on player numbers).

Strikes by position: 2-player match: 0 / 2, 3-player match: 0 / 1 / 2, 4-player match: 0 / 1 / 1 / 2.

Pin Diemen's Land is our premier event of the weekend, played across Saturday and Sunday. Players build their position through qualifying before returning for finals the next day.

• Saturday (12pm – ~6pm): Qualifying rounds

• Sunday (12pm – ~5pm): Finals

Targeting ~200% TGP, with enough WPPRs on the line to likely earn a State Finals invitation.

The top players advance to A Division finals, played as a double-elimination bracket. Matches in the winners bracket are best-of-5, while the lower (losers) bracket is best-of-3 — so a loss doesn’t end your run, but it does put you on a tougher path where every match becomes do-or-die.

All remaining players (regardless of rank) compete in B Division, which will run as matchplay.
B Division results count toward final standings and WPPRs — this isn’t an exhibition.

Prize money will be paid based on total entries, with a target structure of:

• Top 8 in A Division

• Top 4 in B Division

We’re expecting 1st place in A Division to take home $300+, with final payout amounts and exact positions confirmed closer to the event.

Saturday night is all about teams, rivalries, and a bit of strategy. Grab a group and represent your club — or form your own crew and take on the regulars. Teams are 4 or more players, so there’s plenty of room to build a lineup and play to your strengths.

Aiming for a double round-robin — play every other team twice.

If time is tight, we’ll adjust to a simpler schedule matching teams against each other as evenly as possible.

Each round you’ll be matched up twice, and you’ll need to decide which players to send into each game — balancing form, matchups, and a bit of gamesmanship against your opponents.

Each match is scored using standard 7 / 5 / 3 / 1 points, with your two players contributing to a combined team score. The team with the higher combined total earns a +5 bonus, so strong overall performances are rewarded — not just individual wins.

There will be a large perpetual trophy on the line for the winning team. They must commit to returning the trophy for any future version of this matchup.

We may tweak the exact structure on the night depending on team numbers and time available, but the focus will always be on keeping it competitive, social, and fun — with plenty of bragging rights on the line.

Wrap up the weekend with a relaxed session of pinball and a fully catered dinner included in your entry. It’s a chance to unwind after finals, catch up with everyone, and enjoy a few more games while sharing a meal.

Continuous max-matchplay will run for the remaining time, so you can jump into rounds, pick up some extra WPPRs, and finish the weekend on a high — good food, good games, and good company.
