Overview
The Local Tournament is a completely programmable tournament promotion system, allowing
players to compete for a prize pool based on the income from premium-priced tournament
games. At the completion of the tournament, the top three scorers are entered into the
Winners’ List for retention until they claim their prizes. The game can be set to use cash
prizes or redemption points depending on local laws.
Up to four tournaments can be programmed to run simultaneously. The settings for each
tournament, including game cost, rounds, starting time, ending time and date, duration, and
prize pool, can be independently programmed to provide maximum flexibility and promotional
potential. Each tournament can be further programmed to be a single, repeating tournament
game, or a sequence of different games, which change for each tournament period.
Players who achieve one of the three high scores during a tournament must enter their
name, along with their own personal identification number (PIN). Should they finish as one
of the three highest scorers in that tournament, the PIN will be used to ensure positive
identification of the player. Provided an attendant is present, prizes may be claimed anytime
after the completion of a tournament. Once the prize is awarded, it is noted on the Winners’
List and is accounted for in the bookkeeping statistics.

Local Tournament Mode
NOTE: If your game was running TournaMAXX and you are switching from On-
Line Mode (TournaMAXX) to Off-Line Mode (Local Tournament), you will need
to perform an “Update From Server”. Perform the Update from Server prior to
switching modes so that no TournaMAXX information is deleted. To do so,
touch the “Update From Server” button on the Network Menu (Ion games) or
TournaMAXX Menu (Force games).
To maintain accurate bookkeeping statistics, it is also advised that you per-
form a Cash Settlement Collection before proceeding to Local Tournament
Mode.
NOTE: The transition from TournaMAXX to Local Tournament requires that the
game be switched from ON-LINE to OFF-LINE mode. From the System Menu,
choose “Options”, then touch the OFF-LINE button. If you are returning to
TournaMAXX, you must return to this screen and select ON-LINE.
