Keith Elwin – World’s Greatest Pinball Player for 2016!
The IFPA is proud to announce that Keith Elwin has finished at #1 on the World Pinball Player Rankings, thus earning IFPA’s top honor as the 2016 “World’s Greatest Pinball Player”. No single tournament victory will ever secure this title for a given year. Only consistent play at the highest level over the course of multiple years leads to players reaching the pinnacle of the World Pinball Player Rankings. This is the 7th time that Keith has been crowned the World’s Greatest Pinball Player out of the 11 times we have awarded it, the last time being in 2012.
Keith’s greatest achievement of 2016 was winning his 9th Major Championship at Pinburgh 2016, while also posting victories at Pinball Expo in Chicago, California Extreme, It Never Drains in Southern California, PAPA Circuit Final and Classics II at the PAPA 19 World Championship.
Overall, Keith won 50% of the 12 events he played in, while placing in the top 4 at 66% of his 2016 events, a truly remarkable achievement. Congratulations to Keith, and best of luck to everyone on the upcoming 2017 season in the race for #1.
