NYC PINBALL EXPO + CHAMPIONSHIPS THIS WEEKEND IN BROOKLYN
(New York, NY) - The New York City Pinball Championships returns this weekend after a three-year hiatus, bigger, better, and boomier than ever before. The pinball expo and tournaments, to be held August 19-21 at the Five Two A event space in Industry City, Brooklyn, will welcome hundreds of tournament players and pinball fans from across the globe of all skill levels. The space, which can accommodate up to 500 silverball enthusiasts, features over 10,000 square feet and stunning unobstructed views of the Statue of Liberty and lower Manhattan, hosted by the historic Industry City campus featuring dozens of local food and shopping options catering to all tastes.
CoinTaker Amusements, a premier northeast pinball machine retail seller and distributor, is supplying a free play bank of over a dozen brand new Stern pinball machines, along with other classic games for the public to play all weekend long. Games will be for sale as well so flipper afficionados can bring home their own brand new Stern pinball machine.
NYCPC tournaments will include International Flipper Pinball Association (IFPA)-sanctioned, IFPA-certified Main, Classics, and the Dahlia Rowan Memorial Women’s NYC Championship, as well as a B-Division contest for players ranked outside of the top 500 by the IFPA. Sizeable payouts will be awarded to winners in all divisions. The action will be streamed live all weekend long by Backhand Pinball; visit their channel at twitch.tv.

“It’s been a long three years, but the wait hasn’t been in vain; we’ve spent the time working to make NYCPC bigger, better, and more accessible to everyone,” said NBP Co-founder Levi Nayman. “The new venue and Industry City campus redefines what a pinball tournament experience should be; as players compete in world-class tournaments, they’ll be immersed in New York City – it’s culture, its taste, its landmarks, and its excitement! We can’t wait to welcome everyone back from the beefiest of hibernations. Like Lady Liberty herself, we lift the torch of competition to the skies, a fiery beacon welcoming the huddled masses yearning to flip free, and declare once and for all: Pinball is back!”
