 Flip Frenzy tournaments are, as the name implies, very hectic tournaments. The tournament organizer decides on a duration for the tournament (for example, three hours) and a number of machines to be used for the tournament. When the tournament starts, head-to-head matches are created on those machines, and any players not assigned to a match are placed in a queue. 

Pingolf elimination brackets are created to facilitate playoffs for Pingolf tournaments and are a variation of group elimination brackets. The only difference between the two is the way scores are recorded. The way players are seeded and advance in the bracket are the same.

Instead of using a scoring system to award points to 1st/2nd/3rd/4th place finishers, the organizer in a pingolf elimination bracket enters the amount of strokes used on each game. The two players with the fewest amount of strokes advance in the bracket. Typically, players will play three or four matches each round, and in that case, a pingolf elimination bracket mimics the finals at the IFPA Pinmasters.

When players are eliminated from the bracket, their final standing in the tournament is determined by the amount of strokes used in the round they were eliminated.

 Group match play tournaments are simple but versatile. Over a number of rounds, players are paired against each other in four-player games. If the number of players is not divisible by four, a number of three-player games will be created. Players earn points based on their finishing position. At the end of the tournament, the player with the most points is the winner. 

 Group elimination brackets are a popular way to organize tournament playoffs. Players are placed into four-player groups using a seeding method (typically manual seeding). Three Strike Knockout.  Players are assigned strikes for losses in the following format: 0-1-1-2. 

 An Amazing Race tournament has all players in the tournament face off against each other on the same machine over a number of rounds. Each round, an arena is picked by the tournament organizer, and all players play a single game on that arena. The player with the lowest score is eliminated; all other players advance. This process is repeated until there is only one player left standing. 

 A round robin tournament is a tournament in which every player plays every other player exactly once. Each game is a head-to-head match between two people where the winner earns a point. At the end of the tournament, the overall winner is the player with the most amount of points.
