It's finally time for another season! Now that everyone is wrapping up summer nonsense, we are back and ready to party!

This league is open to everyone and we are always welcoming new players. It is designed so that everyone makes the playoffs and will be matched with new players every week / players of similar skill in finals. So don't be shy, give it a try! We are all just here to have fun and play some pinball.

HOW IT WORKS:
For each session you will be assigned to a 3 (preferred) or (possibly 4) player group, and play 4 games. It takes about an hour or two. Sometimes we have free (with charitable donation) after tournaments as well if you wanna stick around and flip even longer!
There are 10 total weekly sessions, but you only have to show for 6 out of 10!

League nights will be Wednesdays. The ‘regular season’ of the league consists of 10 sessions. A player is eligible to play in all sessions during the season. The top 6 weekly results will be used to establish the league standings and seeding for finals. A player must play in at least 6 sessions to be eligible for finals and submission to IFPA in the final standings.

GUESTS
Anyone can show up for a week and try it out. Bring a friend any week you want! The league encourages new players to the community by allowing guests to play along with a group, but scores do not factor into the scoresheets.

SCHEDULE
Every Weds starting Sept 18th @ 7:30
Last week of regular season is Nov 20th
Thanksgiving week break
Finals Saturday, Dec 7th

FINALS
For finals the league will be split into divisions, each division will play a ladder format final. For each ladder the bottom 4 seeds in a group will play, the lowest scoring player will be eliminated, and then the next highest seed joins. This process is repeated until the highest seed joins in. The final 4 plays and loser is eliminated, to make the final 3, and the process continues until there is one remaining player. Order of elimination provides final league standing for each group.
Guests are welcome, but league players are not allowed to participate as guests.
First week please arrive 7pm to allow for registration. You can help speed up week one if you pre-register for league through the form found on the league webpage.
League Dues are $20

Code of Conduct
All tournament players will be required to abide by the Code of Conduct (BaltimorePinball.org)

Speed of Play
Players need to be present at the game when it is their turn. Missing players will be given a 2 minute grace period before their ball will be plunged. This rule will be strictly enforced.

Reminder - This is a public location
Please be respectful and courteous to other customers.
Groups are reminded to stay with their machine for the duration of the match so that other customers do not decide to play your apparently abandoned games/credits. If this happens, the entire group will be ruled to have abandoned their game and will each receive a 1 for the round.

League Start time is 7:30 pm - please arrive early for the first session to get registered. Due to our continued growth, players arriving closer to start time may be staggered and asked to start their matches after some groups have completed their matches. Start times are subject to change to accommodate additional players as well.
