It came up quick this year. Showdown III is being held Feb. 18-20th this year. It will be a lot like last year. 6 machines in the open on the front stage area. 4 machines in the classics on the main stage area. We are going to try to have 4 EM machines again, however there may be a solid state game or two that plays like an EM, for example, an Evel Knievel solid state.
Once again the ticket pricing will be 4 tickets for $10, or 1 ticket for $3
The top 16 in the open will move on to group play.
The top 12 in classics will move on to group play. The top 4 seeds will have a bye.
Payouts will be the same as last year based on a % of the total amount taken in. We gave away right around $5000 last year, $1000 to the open winner and $600 to the classics winner.
We are most likely going to keep qualifying open until 2am on Friday and Saturday this year to allow a few extra hours each night to improve your scores.
More info will be available soon.
