How it works

Show up. Play. Score points.

A league is a season of game nights. Every night stands on its own, and your best nights add up to your spot in the standings.

League nights

Nights run on a set schedule through the season. Everyone plays the same games that night, in small groups, so nobody sits around for long.

Points and standings

Where you finish each game earns points. Standings update after every night, and the season ends with finals for the top players.

All skill levels

You don't need to be good. League play is the fastest way to get better, and the regulars are happy to share tips on every game.

Season 1

Winter 2026–27 schedule

Six league nights, every other week, plus a finals night. Your best 5 of 6 nights count, so you can miss one. League nights rotate between pinball spots around the valley and members' home game rooms. We plan to register the season with the IFPA, the International Flipper Pinball Association, so your results count toward world rankings.
