California Extreme Tournament: Aug 18-20, 2023

Hi everyone! CAX 2023 is only a couple weeks at the Hyatt Regency in Santa Clara. This year will feature main, classics, and women’s tournaments. The tournaments will be in their own rooms separate from the main show.

All of the tournaments are unlimited, best game format. Qualifying will open on Friday night (this is before the show starts). The main event will be certified and is projected for 180% TGP. Finals for the events do not overlap, so players can play in each if they qualify.

Plus, all California Extreme attendees will be able to attend two separate seminars on expert pinball techniques and strategies on Saturday. I’ll deliver the first one, and your second professor of pinball will be competitive pinball’s first superstar:
Rick Stetta!!
