On Saturday, February 9, we will be holding Mad Monster Party: The Munsters Launch Party at The Avenue Café in Lansing. This is a launch party using the same format as our Battle of the Bands II launch for The Beatles. Qualifying will be from 3 pm (when the bar opens) until 6:30 pm. The qualifying format will be “best game” on The Addams Family, Ghostbusters, Monster Bash, The Munsters, and Scared Stiff, with the player’s best 3 of the 5 counting. Each player will be limited to two attempts on each machine. At 6:30 pm, the top 8* qualifiers will go on to to a 3-game semifinal match in two groups of 4, and then two from each group will go to finals and play a 3-game final match. The tournament is free except for coin drop.
*If there are under 16 eligible players, defined as people who put in at least two qualifying games, this number will change as follows:
14-15 eligible players: 7 go to semifinals (3/4 groups)
12-13 eligible players: 6 go to semifinals (3/3 groups)
10-11 eligible players: 5 go to semifinals (3 play off, 2 get a bye)
8-9 eligible players: no semifinals, 4 go to finals
6-7 eligible players: no semifinals, 3 go to finals
5 or fewer eligible players: no semifinals, 2-player finals, I cry a little
Note that if any of the games (besides the Munsters) goes down or is removed from The Avenue before the tournament, the substitute game will be Attack from Mars.
