Any one can join us for Tilt'n Tuesdays. This is an organized pinball tournament that we have twice per month. Anyone who wants to play is welcome to attend but this is not open pinball which is on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Everyone on Tuesday night competes in the organized tournament, but you can still play anything you want at practice 5-6PM, in-between rounds, and when it is over. We typically close doors around 11PM. New players are welcome and I will walk you through how it works when you get here. It's a lot of fun and not stressful at all. You are here to have a good time and you absolutely will!

The $25 Fee covers both the main and side tournament, all game play, bottled water and coffee. Price for children 13 and younger with adult will be $20 for the night. Pay in person when you come to District 82 Pinball. This is an individual event and not a team event. Practice starts at 5PM and tournament starts at 6PM. To register use the "register" button on this page or send an email to ekthoren@yahoo.com saying you would like to play on Tuesday Night.

Main Event:

Doors Open 5PM

Check in at the front desk and play anything you want on the over 100+ pinball machines and video games. You can also play anything you want in-between rounds. We star the Main Tournament at 6PM.

Qualifying - Everyone Plays 6PM-9PM

We play 4 Rounds of group match play pinball, 2 games per round, for a total of 8 games for the night. Don't worry if you don't know what that is I can explain it to you very quickly when you show up. All 100+ games are on Free Play. Each round consists of 2 randomly selected games, 1 Classic and 1 Modern game that you play with 3 other people. On each game you will score points based on your finish against the other players. 1st (7 points), 2nd (5 points), 3rd (3 points) or 4th (1 points). Then on the subsequent rounds the computer will match you up on different games typically with different players who have similar cumulative points earned for the night as you do. After the 4 rounds, we take the top 16 players for overall points and run a finals. If you do not make the finals you are welcome to stay and play as much as you want until we close for the night (around 11PM after finals are done).

Finals - Top 16 from Qualifying 9PM-11PM

The playoff goes much faster as we play them multi-match style so you're not here all night. In the playoff the highest seeded person in each group gets to choose first. If they want to pick the bank of games to play on or if they want to pick the order in which they will play (1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th), then the next highest seed gets the next choice, etc. If you don't want to play in the playoff or need to leave the next highest placed person (17th) will take your place, etc. The top 4 players overall will receive trophies. Each tournament will also earn you some WPPR (World Pinball Player Ranking) points and get you both a State of Wisconsin and International ranking with the IFPA.

Automatic Tiebreakers-We have Automatic Tiebreakers turned on in the software and will use that to determine the position of the top 16 players but 16th place will be played out (if needed) as a 1 game playoff on a faster, classic game chosen by the tournament director.

Side Tournament:

We have one classic machine dedicated as the side tournament qualifier game. Everyone gets one try with no practice on this game sometime in the evening and hopefully put up a good score. You must play the game sometime between 5PM and the end of the 4th round of play in the main tournament. The top 8 players will get to play a 3 strike knockout tournament only on classic machines to determine the winner. There is no advantage to qualifying 1st or 8th in this style of playoff. Everyone starts the finals even. If you don't want to play in the playoff or need to leave the next highest score person (9th) will take your place, etc.

More than 80 players- IFPA rules say we have to bring a minimum of 10% of the players into the final of a non-direct play tournament. We will add 1 person to the finals to be played as follows. If we get between 81-90 players than the top 9 get to play finals knockout. If we get between 91-100 players then top 10 get to play finals knockout, Etc.
