About
Join us for a 3-day smorgasbord of pinball fun at Right Brain Brewery, offering a variety of different tournament formats with a low cost of entry. Whether you’re looking for family fun or chasing IFPA clout, we’ve got something for everyone.
Partner up Friday in a random draw split flipper tournament, see how high you can score with our new adaptive pinball controllers, or try your hand in both competitions! Half of the $5 entry fees from these tournaments go to charity and the other half gets paid back to the top 20% of the players.
Saturday we will be hosting the Masters, Open, Womens, and Youth division tournaments. The masters, open, and womens divisions have a cap of 32 players, so register early to guarantee yourself a spot. We’re also hosting two free-to-enter tournaments for kids ages 13-17, and another for 12 and under. Younger folks who want to get serious are welcome to play in the open divisions, but are not able to play in both, as the tournaments are happening simultaneously.
Sunday we’ll be hosting the finals from the Open and Womens divisions.
We have hotel group rates available at Sugar Beach. Use promo code PINBALL for 20% off for Feb 23, 24, 25. There will also be a wide selection of prizes beyond the cash pot, including plaques and/or medals! There’s also a facebook event.
See the sections below for the full details and jump down to the bottom to register. See you soon! Also note that if you get to town early, our weekly tourney is also taking place on Thursday the 22nd.
Extra balls will be played. Note that some games may also give random awards in absence of tournament mode.
