If you played in B last year you can qualify and play in B this year as long as you’re not IFPA rank restricted. We plan to restrict B to participants ranked ~500 and higher.
We have 8 of the 9 games confirmed for the Main which we’re going to tease out with sponsors over the next couple of weeks. We have to keep the hype somehow.
The second game we’re planning for the Main Event is Wheel of Fortune.
We’d also like to introduce FireFold who is a new sponsor for this year’s event.

-FireFold Tech & Repair offers computers and cell phone repair

-Firefold Technologies will provide consulting and installation of Audio/Video equipment for your home or business.
With the Indy 500 taking place today it’s a good time to reveal our third game for the Main Event which shares the same name.
Another new sponsor we’re proud to have on board is Titan Pinball who offer Silicone Rubber Rings, post rubbers and other pinball accessories including the Pinmat. Please check out their sites for more information!
We’re proud to announce that a team from PAPA will be joining us at the event to provide streaming services!

We’ve updated our Facebook site and Website but also wanted to post here to let you know that the Main Finals will consist of games from the Women’s Event and games from Main Qualifying. Participants who are playing a game in the finals that they were ineligible to qualify on will be given 30 seconds of practice prior to the game starting.
Now onto our 4th game that will be in Main Qualifying which is Surf ‘n Safari Pinball.
Our next sponsor is CoinTaker who are a Distributor for Chicago Gaming Company, American Pinball and Stern Pinball. They sell LED’s, any many mods and accessories for your pinball machine!
We’ll reveal two additional games for our Main Tournament this evening which are The Shadow and World Cup Soccer ’94. We have a pair of new Stern’s which will be revealed this weekend and the Classics and Women’s will be revealed early next week.
Our next sponsor is Save Point Video Games located in Charlotte, NC who buys, sells and trades used video games, consoles and accessories. They have a retail store but also utilize Facebook to show their latest arrivals which they’ll ship. I’d recommend giving them a like to see the daily goodies that are available for purchase and trade
Our two new Sterns that will be in the Main Event will be Iron Maiden Premium and Batman ’66 Premium.
Abari Game Bar also located in Charlotte, NC has over 20 pinball machines (set to 50 cents), 30 arcade games and a Killer Queen. An IFPA Selfie League, Monthly Weekday Evening League and a Monthly Weekend Tournament are hosted here. They have a full bar and excellent customer service. If you’re in the area and looking for the largest selection of arcade games, they’re the best!
Let’s go ahead and reveal the final two games planned for our Main Event which are Williams Indiana Jones and Hoops by Premier. The Women’s and Classic Event games will be revealed tomorrow night!
Our next sponsor is Comet Pinball who offer a large collection of LED bulbs and products to brighten up your games. Owned and operated by a fellow collector, player and enthusiast they strive to provide the best products, pricing and customer support. If you haven’t already, please check out their Website below and give their Facebook page a like!
OH BOY. I predict I’ll have about 12 consecutive games of Hoops before I get any kind of good score (judging by the last time I played this in a tournament).
The games we’re planning for the Classics and Women’s Events are below. For qualifying your Top 7 scores out of the 10 machines available will be counted, 4 out of 6 for Classics and all 4 for Women’s. As always its possible we’ll make event time changes but will do our best to communicate any via here, our website and Facebook. thanks!
