Recent Updates:

These are all valid for the DFW League events only, not for Carpool Pinball events unless otherwise specifically stated.

1)     There is no more KIDZ Finals this year, however we have a new incentive program for kids to play as follows:

a)     All kids (ages 16 and under) get up to $20 off the cost of tournament entry (no cash back / cannot discount below $0).

i)       This means that they will be FREE for most tournaments.

ii)     For the first time, they will get discounts ($20 off) of the larger, more expensive tournaments and still receive discounts on separately priced side tournaments.

b)     We will have prizes for the TOP 4 KIDS based on their standings in any regular/main tournaments. Any large event side tournament will not have prizes for the kids.

*** IT DOESN’T GET MUCH BETTER FOR KIDS, FREE TO PLAY AND THEY GET A PRIZE (LIKE GIFT CARDS AND TOYS AND SUCH) !! ***

2)     The intent of the B Division is so that everyone has a chance to win. To that end, for 2026, the restriction on B Division has changed. The following player are ineligible to play in the B Division:

a)     Players in the IFPA top 1500 as of the day of the tournament

b)     Player who placed first, second, or third in the A division in any of the three previous DFW Pinball League EVENTS.

i)       An event is different from a tournament

ii)     There can be multiple tournaments at one event.

iii)    All tournaments will be counted for each of the last three events.

3)     Qualifying for the league championship will be more inclusive!

a)     A player must play in FIVE or more DFW Pinball League tournaments to be eligible for the league finals. We should have 20 or more tournaments at 15 or more events throughout the year.

b)     The IFPA has agreed to make a custom report for the league.

i)       Based on this, qualification for the DFW Pinball League Finals will be based on the number of WPPR points you earn, in total, at all DFW Pinball League tournaments during the year.

ii)     This favors BOTH, the best players AND players who play in MORE tournaments because they will receive WPPR points every time they play.

iii)    We will go down the list of eligible players until the league finals is FULL.
