Tournaments

In addition to the leagues, the Pinball Gallery hosts a monthly open pinball tournament.  This is meant to be a fun alternative to the leagues, for those who can’t participate in a full 10-week league season, but can sporadically participate in a single night of competition in a tournament.  Here are some details about the tournaments: 

  • When:  The first Thursday of every month at 7:00pm.  We open at 6:00pm.  Come by 6:45pm to sign-up.
  • Format:  Double elimination.  Games are picked from a hat at random.  Each player will play a different game in each match.
  • Cost:  $5 entry fee + cost to play each game (varies from 25 to 50 cents a game)
  • Prizes:  100% of the collected entry fees are awarded as prizes
    • 1st Place - Gift Certificate for 60% of collected entry fees
    • 2nd Place - Gift Certificate for 20% of collected entry fees
    • 3rd Place - Gift Certificate for 10% of collected entry fees
    • Consolation Games:  Two games are picked as "consolation games" for the night.  Tournament participants can play those games as many times as they want and try to post the high-score for the night.  If you get the high-score on either of those games, you get 5% of the prize pool.
      • Fine Print:  The top 3 winners of the tournament are ineligible to win the consolation games.  Also, the same person can't win both consolation games.  If that were to happen, that person wins the game where the point spread between top two scores is greater and the other game is won by the person with the second highest score. 
    • Other prizes may be awarded based on number of participants
  • WPPR Points: The tournaments are recognized by the IFPA (International Flipper Pinball Association).  You can earn point towards your WPPR (World Pinball Player Ranking).

The Pinball Gallery also hosts from time-to-time other pinball tournaments.  Recently, on 6/13/2010, we hosted a tournament run by the National Pinball League.  For details, click here.
