The Spring 2012 season of the Downingtown Pinball League starts on Thursday 1/26/2012


"It's more fun to compete..."      [Popular slogan found on many classic pinball machines]

One aspect of pinball that makes it even more fun and exciting is the competition.  We encourage you to try a multiplayer game of pinball while you are at the Pinball Gallery to see what we mean.  If you can't find an opponent, ask one of the staff to play.  We can also give you some game-specific playing tips while you play, if you want.

Leagues

To provide a forum for fun and friendly competition, the Pinball Gallery hosts the Downingtown Pinball League (DPL).  This is meant to be a fun league and an opportunity to socialize and compete on a regular basis with others who enjoy playing pinball.

Details on the next (8th) season of the DPL are as follows:

  • When: The Spring 2012 season of the DPL will start on Thursday January 26, 2012 @ 7:00pm.  The regular season runs for 10 weeks.  The playoffs are on 4/5/2012.  The next season will start in June 2012.
  • Who:  The league is open to everyone, including all ages and skill levels.
  • How:  Check out our Player's Guide, which is a short overview of the rules.  For the complete rulebook of the DPL, check out the Long Rules.
  • Dues:  $30 for the full 10-week season including the finals (due on/before Week 1) + the cost of the games played each week ($1-$3 a week).
  • Prizes: Trophies will be given to the champion and runner-up in each division.  You also win "bragging rights", since the results will be posted on our website and in the store.
  • Sign-Ups:  To sign-up for the league and pay your dues, you can stop by the Pinball Gallery or pay online via PayPal using the button below.  Dues are $30.
  • World Rankings:  The DPL is recognized by the International Flipper Pinball Association (IFPA).  DPL results will be forwarded to the IFPA which will earn you points in the World Pinball Players Ranking (WPPR) database.  How cool will it be to see how you rank against all the other pinball players in the world?  Pretty cool!
