League Rules


Welcome to Metro Vancouver's First and Only Retro Arcade League!


League Rules

1. Leagues are comprised of 8 players and will last a total of 8 weeks in length. Each weekly league night will be 4 hours in length.


2. Each week a total of 5 different games will be played. Play as many times on each game as you like each league night to better your score. Those 5 games will be broken down as follows:

  • 3 randomly selected games
  • 2 games selected from a pre-set list of games

  • 3. Teams are comprised of 2 people and will be randomly selected for each week. The first game of each night must be played with your randomly selected team partner. However, it is suggested to play/watch as many games with your teammate or others as you can in order to better yourself at each game.


    4. Highest combined team scores on each game will count as each individual team member's score for that week.


    5. Players will earn “points” on each game based on their ranking of highest combined team scores.


    6. If you have to miss a league night, substitutions are allowed to avoid penalties. If no substitute player is supplied, other league members may make substitutions. If no substitution can be found you will receive 0 points for that week's play, so it is best to arrange a substitute if possible.


    7. All games must be played as 1 credit only, no continues. If any game has start options (ie. easy, medium, hard) always start at the lowest option.


    8: Weekly entrance fee is comprised of your admission, taxes and prize money. Weekly fee includes unlimited game play on all games until close each league night (you may play other games besides the league games). If you cannot make a league night, you may have a substitute player who pays their own admission, however, you must still pay the weekly prize fee upon return, whether you were in attendance or not.


    9. In the case where one of the games becomes unavailble for league play, a subsitute game will be picked to replace it.


    10. Leagues are based on 8 players, which means each player with be partnered with 7 other league members throughout the course of the league. This leaves 1 remaining league night (week 8) where a player's score will be based on their individual play. However, their individual score for week 8 will be multiplied on a handicap system which will be based on each player's final position after week 7 and their week 8 score.


    11. Minors are welcome to join a league, please keep in mind they must be accompanied by an adult and must leave by 10:00pm. This is probably best suited for a parent/child who wishes to join the league.


    12: Please enter your scores immediately after finishing each game!


    13: Any player caught cheating will be dealt with immediately by the league and its players. This is to be a fun, casual league, let's keep the drama to a minimum please. These rules may be updated from time to time.


    14: When a player submits their score, if their score happens to be the current top score, that player must refrain from playing that game further until their score is beaten, at which point they may play that game again.


    15: If a league game is a game in which you have previously scored at least 2x what the current leading score is (during league play or not), please limit your score to approx. 2x the current leading score.


    Bonus: League members get 10% discount on all purchases at the arcade (excluding alcohol).
