Wenatchee Valley, Washington
League nights for pinball players across the valley. Play a set of games, earn points, and climb the standings over a season. First-timers and seasoned players are equally welcome.
Season 1 starts Thursday, Nov 12 · Registration is closed
How it works
A league is a season of game nights. Every night stands on its own, and your best nights add up to your spot in the standings.
Nights run on a set schedule through the season. Everyone plays the same games that night, in small groups, so nobody sits around for long.
Where you finish each game earns points. Standings update after every night, and the season ends with finals for the top players.
You don't need to be good. League play is the fastest way to get better, and the regulars are happy to share tips on every game.
Season 1
Six league nights, mostly Thursdays, about 6:30 to 8:30 pm, plus a finals night. Your best 4 of 6 nights count, so you can miss two. Results are submitted to the IFPA, the International Flipper Pinball Association, so they count toward world rankings. Read the rules.

The Season 1 fee is $45 per player: a $10 deposit online to hold your spot, then $35 cash on opening night. Fees are non-refundable. Your fee covers a league beanie, nightly raffles, finals trophies, official IFPA submission of results, and more. Games are separate: bring $5–7 in cash each night for the machines (you might not need all of it). We'll have quarters to change it.
The International Flipper Pinball Association runs the world pinball rankings. Sanctioned leagues and tournaments earn players ranking points. We plan to register the league so your results count.
