Join us for a New Year's Eve tournament Wednesday, December 31 at the Back Nine Arcade in Meriden, CT. Doors open at 6 PM for registration and warmup; tournament starts at 7:30 PM.

This tournament will be limited to 24 players.

This will be a pace matchplay tournament. 

Assuming a full playing field of 24, the pace will start at 24 points and the initial pace will be applied after round 7. The pace will increase by 7 points each round and eliminations will continue until 1 player remains. If there are fewer than 24 players, the pace may be adjusted. 

1st through 3rd place will receive cash prizes. 1st place will also receive a trophy. Tournament fee is $10 which goes to IFPA fees, prizes, and some light refreshments. BYOB and food. All games are set to freeplay. 

Feel free to stick around after the tournament ends and ring in the new year with us!

Pre-registration will take place in-person starting on Friday, November 14 at 7:30 PM at the Western Mass Pinball Club, located at 4 Springfield Street in Three Rivers, MA. If any spots are still open at the end of the night, the signup will continue to be available at WMPC during their regular hours (check club website or Discord) until all spots are filled. A waitlist will also be available if all spots should fill up. 

Players will be provided with the address after pre-registering. Any questions, feel free to ask Kristen or Wes at WMPC.
