Year End Tournament for the Rest of Us 2025

This is “The Tournament for the Rest of Us" and falls on the same day and approximate time as the IFPA Minnesota State Pinball Championship and is for anyone that did not qualify for that tournament.
Sadly, anyone that qualified to attend the IFPA Minnesota State Pinball Championship cannot attend this one.
The Rest of Us need a chance to win too!

The tournament will be a head-to-head, double elimination bracket with best-of-5 matches. The number of first round byes will depend on the total number of participants.

Registration and practice starts at 10:00am and the tourney will begin around 11:00am and runs until we are done.

To make it more interesting, the entry fee will be $11 with $10 of it going into the prize money pot with the remaining $1 being the IFPA player fee.
Prior to any entrance fees, the prize pot that will be divided amongst the top 24 finishers, is currently $1,372 (before entrance fee), plus there will be custom 'LIT' 3D printed trophies for the top 4! That pot came from the player fees paid in for events at Blainbrook during the year and the remaining amount comes from the host, Donny May of Blainbrook Bowl!
As always, THANK YOU DONNY!!!

Initial seeding will be based off of 2025 IFPA state rankings. If you are not ranked, your name will be added at the bottom based on time of registration.
Following the IFPA Minnesota State Pinball Championship, the top 24 will receive prize money. The more players we have, the larger the payout will be!
Players will compete in head to head DOUBLE elimination rounds with best 3 out of 5 games. Higher seed picks first game and then loser of each game picks game as matches proceed. A player may not choose the same game twice in a round. Extra Balls, if earned, must be plunged, or if played, it counts as your next ball in play, but a player can only play three balls per game, so choose wisely. EM's and Solid State machines can be picked again in subsequent rounds.

Hope to see you here! Stay Safe, Stay Sane, and Keep on Flippin’!
