Pacific Pinball League Open Tournament
Where: The Pacific Pinball Museum, 1510 Webster Street, Alameda
When: Dec 4, 2019, from 6:00 – 10:00 PM
Format: Best Game Qualifying, followed by Top 4 Final
Entry: $11, all games on free play
Player Cap: 36
World Pinball Player Ranking Points will be awarded, TGP Value: 12
Hey folks! On Wednesday Dec. 4 the usual Pacific Pinball League night will host a short and sweet tournament instead. Qualifying is a “best game” format on a bank of 12 games, max 2 tries per game, 10 tries overall, and your top 4 games will count toward your ranking. Ranking will be on a 30 point scale (30 points for 1st on a game, 29 for 2nd…).
The top 4 players at the end of qualifying will play in a 4-game final using 3-2-1-0 scoring.
The bank will consist of 4 modern games, 4 solid state and 4 electro-mechanical. Finals will be played on a short-flipper EM, long-flipper EM, solid state and modern game.
Players are responsible for adding themselves to game queues and completing their games on time. Any unplayed entries at the end of qualifying are voided.
Score entry must be witnessed by a Pacific Pinball League member or tournament official.
See you there!

Pacific Pinball League Season 8!
The Pacific Pinball League starts Season 8 on Wednesday September 25!
We are a fun and competitive group of pinball players from total beginners to pinball wizards, but everyone is there to make new friends and have fun.
We meet each Wednesday and play begins at 7PM. Busy schedule? No problem. If you attend 3 regular league nights you qualify to play in the Finals.
Even better, entry on league night is just $10, and gets you a league card, which gets you in to PPM on any other night (except special events) for $10 as well. All the games are on free play, too.
Got a friend who’s on the fence? Bring them along and we’ll give them the discount rate so they can hang out and see if it’s right for them.
How do you join? Show up any league night and we’ll take care of the rest.
