    Your experience is totally up to you. What Division will you be playing in?

    What to do: Play pinball. Keep in mind that every day there is a classics tournament, along with other stuff like Split Flipper, so you may want to allow yourself time to do everything.

    What not to do: Nudity, excessive drunkenness, violence, stuff like this is discouraged.

    Quoted from beelzeboob:

    Sign up for D division (I think you have to choose a division in advance for PAPA), do your best, and have a great time!

    You don't. You can make your decision when you show up. You can also move up in division during the tournament if you decide, but not move back. I'd probably suggest doing the lowest division possible - I did C my first year and won it. I would have done D if I could have, but if you have played virtually ANY IFPA pinball you won't be eligible for D.

    Quoted from djreddog:

    I believe the Allentown and the York show were IFPA tournaments. So does this mean I have to play in C? Not that it matters, just asking for clarification. My goal the first year is to definitely have fun first and foremost!

    Most likely.

    D is for absolute beginners and if you have a couple IFPA events under your belt you are probably restricted to C.
