WELCOME TO THE CARPOOL!

Join us for our December Midnight Madness tournament and New Year’s Party at the Carpool Proving Grounds. Most of our games are EMs and classic solid state games. Modern Sterns will be held in reserve if other games go down.

The goal is to end (start) the year with a certified tournament. This requires a minimum of 48 players, and finals must start on a separate day. If we don’t have the minimum number of players, the format will be changed slightly. See format sections below. NOTE: This tournament will go on the 2026 IFPA standings.

All games are set to free play. They will be set HARD. Game specific notes will be displayed on the back glass as required.

This is also a New Year’s party with other activities, so feel free to bring guests who are not playing in the tournament!

The tournament is limited to 60 players. RSVP is required and opens on 12/19/2025 @ 7:00 PM
