The Pinball Gallery will be hosting our inaugural "Pin-Night Madness Pinball Tournament" on Saturday June 22, 2013.

The tournament will run from 9:00pm to midnight at our new location at 131 Mill Road in Downingtown PA. If you haven't visited our new location yet, it is much larger and more open than our previous location. We have 18 pinball machines all in excellent working condition that span from a 1972 Bally Fireball to a 2007 Stern Spider-Man.

In addition, we share the space with Margo's Old Fashioned Ice Cream Shoppe. The store and arcade are open to the public noon-10:00pm that day, but the tournament will continue until midnight. You are welcome to come early, practice, and have some ice cream.

This tournament is sponsored by the National Pinball League (NPL) and will be using their "masters" tournament format where everyone plays the whole tournament (no one is eliminated). The tournament results will be submitted to the International Pinball Flipper Association (IFPA) for calculating your world wide pinball ranking. A trophy will be awarded to the tournament grand champion.

Cost to enter the tournament is $15. Snacks and (non-alcoholic) drinks will be provided. Machines are on coin drop and vary in cost mostly from 25c-50c, with the newer Stern machines set at 75c per play.

To register and pay the tournament fee, use the following link on the NPL website:

Participation is limited to 40 people. Sign-up early before all the slots are filled.
