Details

It's been 1.5 years we last had the privilege to play pinball tournament at The Pinball Dudes in Jupiter. Don't miss this rare opportunity to play a wide variety of games we don't necessarily see at other South Florida locations and support a great cause. Lunch is included, parking is free (fyi in case you've never been therefore).

REGISTRATION (credit card & cash accepted) 3 Options:

1) Early registration / pre-pay - Highly encouraged so we may plan accordingly for lunch and swag bags for all players. You may pre-pay here:
https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/pinball-pro

2) RSVP in advance but pay at the door - RSVP on this match play link:
https://app.matchplay.events/tournaments/219618

3) Show at door - While players may simply show up on tournament day (there is no player limit so you are guaranteed to be able to participate), if you do not RSVP or Pre-Pay, lunch and/or swag bag are first provided to those who pre-paid, then those who RSVP and if available, to those who show up without RSVP or pre-payment. We do expect to have enough for all but without at least RSVP'ing on match play there's a chance they run out.

GAME LIST:
The Pinball Dudes is a retail store and has an ever-changing game inventory including many modern Sterns (they are an official Stern dealer) as well as older classics of all manufacturers. The public is invited to drop by and play their games at no charge during normal business hours where you can see what games are available. Most games on-site on tournament day will be in the event. We will do our best to add likely Arenas to Match Play when we play test the games the week of the event.

PROCEEDS:
All proceeds benefit the GPBOSSE 4 FOUNDATION to bring awareness, hope, and healing to children affected by Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (SJIA) and Macrophage Activation Syndrome (MAS). GPBOSSE 4 FOUNDATION is a not-for-profit 501(c)3) registered tax exempt charitable organization.

HIGH SCORE CONTEST:
There is also a non-IFPA sanctioned family fun day the previous day at the Dudes, with 5 different high score contests with prizes awarded for children and adult categories. If this is of interest, visit the charity website for details.
