Washington DC State Championship will be held at Lyman’s Tavern on January 21st, 2023.

The top 16 IFPA point earners in the Washington DC will be invited to play for the Washington DC State Championship title and earn an invite to the North American Pinball Championship (NACS).

This tournament will be a head-to-head single elimination bracket with best of 7 matches. Players will be seeded according to IFPA Washington DC state standings.

The higher seeded player will have choice of machine or position for the 1st game, with the loser of each subsequent game having choice of machine or order, until someone has won 4 games. A machine may not be played more than once in the same match unless there are less than 7 machines available. If that is the case, only after all machines have been chosen can either player select that game to be played for a second time within the same match. Once a player verbally announces their game choice, or chooses position, that decision will be locked in and cannot be changed.

Each player will have the opportunity for 30 seconds of practice time before starting every game of every match. This is to ensure that both players have a chance to get familiar with the machine.

The winner of the match advances to the next round, while the loser is eliminated.

Washington DC IFPA rep will contact eligible players in January 2023.

We will be using the NACS ruleset for this event. Full rules can be found here: https://www.ifpapinball.com/series/nacs/2022/rules.php
