This is a STRIKES ELIMINATION tournament at the 2025 Texas Pinball Festival in the North Texas Pinball Players "booth." A portion of the entry fees collected will be donated to the North Texas Community Food Pantry.

Each round, 4 (or 3) players will play one game. The TWO lowest scores (in a 4 person group) and the lowest score (in a 3 person group) will receive a STRIKE (X). Receive 3 strikes (XXX), and you're out of the tournament! For this tournament, players will be initially seeded based upon IFPA rank, with swiss paring for subsequent rounds.

Every player receives a BOUNTY chip, worth $5, which must be given to the winner on the game you receive your final strike. Yes, more than 1 player might be knocked out in a given round; therefore, the winner of a game might receive more than one bounty chip.

Once a player is knocked out of the tournament, they may redeem bounty chips collected from other players to a tournament official for $5 each. Instead of collecting $5 for each collected chip, players may choose to keep their chips.

Any unclaimed bounty chip money, will be donated to NTX Community Food Pantry.

Hope to see you there to support a great cause!
