The league consists of 7 weeks of competitive pinball play at the Pinball Co-op in South Burlington for qualifying, with a State finals where trophies and cash are given out.

Regular season format:
* There are 7 weeks of regular season play. Groups of 4 (or 3 or 5 as needed) play 4 games/night, with points awarded based on finishing positions for each game.
* Players' best 5 weeks will be used to qualify them for divisions at the State Final. (Number of Divisions is based upon number of players)

Finals format:
* Players in each division are placed into bracketed groups of 4, with match play similar to the regular season used to determine the players who advance to the next round. Top 2 from each group advance. Play continues in this fashion until winners have been decided. Byes as needed.

The season costs $30, plus $8 per session at the Pinball Co-op. If you choose to play at any NEPL locations outside of Vermont, expect to pay coin drop or house fees at those locations. For the State Finals, the Pinball Co-op will charge $8 per player.
