id=\"caption-attachment-8872\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Qualifying in the Main Tournament<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Machines were randomly allocated, while choice of play order was decided by a coin-toss. \u00a0A single game was played with the winner returning to the tournament desk to record their win. \u00a0On average it was taking around 25 minutes per round, so with 19 rounds and meal breaks to factor-in, the qualifying phase would be running late into the night.<\/p>\n<p>The Classics Tournament&#8217;s qualifying also began on Saturday morning, continuing until 30 minutes after the end of the Main Tournament&#8217;s play-offs on Sunday, after which the Classics play-offs could take place.\u00a0 This tournament used the eight older electromechanical and solid-state machines in the back-left corner of the room:<\/p>\n<table class=\" aligncenter\" style=\"width: 600px; background-color: #eeeeee;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 300px; vertical-align: top;\">Bronco<\/p>\n<p>Evel Knievel<\/p>\n<p>Haunted House<\/p>\n<p>Jungle Queen<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 300px; vertical-align: top;\">Mata Hari<\/p>\n<p>Sinbad<\/p>\n<p>Space Invaders<\/p>\n<p>Spirit of 76<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Qualifying used an unlimited buy-in format where each entry consisted of a single game on any four of the eight machines available. \u00a0The set of four scores formed the entry with ranking points earned for each score. \u00a0All entries counted which meant it was possible to knock your best entry down if you had, say, a later entry with one great score but three poor ones.<\/p>\n<p>One Classics Tournament entry was included with PPC registration, while others could be bought for 5 Zloty each. \u00a0When the initial entry was collected or when further entries were purchased from the front deak, the player had to choose which four machines would be played. \u00a0Their scores were recorded on a tablet which was pre-loaded with the four game selections. \u00a0The top eight players qualified for the semi-finals which would be played on Sunday evening just as soon as the extra qualifying period following the PPC play-offs was over.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8884\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8884\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a

dinner meant a late finish was on the cards. \u00a0So, Marcin and Rafal printed out the pairings for the final half-dozen rounds so everyone could get on with their matches as soon as both players were ready rather than waiting for everyone to finish each round. \u00a0The only exception was the very last qualifying round which everyone played together.<\/p>\n<p>The ten players with the most wins would form the A Division on Sunday, while the bottom ten made up the B Division. \u00a0Additionally, the number of wins each player had would carry forward into the play-offs, meaning the more wins you had the better your chance of progressing into the semi-finals.<\/p>\n<p>When all the matches were over, these were the two divisions (in alphabetical order):<\/p>\n<table class=\"
