2024 – IFPA State of the Union
With the 2024 pinball season officially wrapping up tonight, the World Pinball Player Rankings continues to show no signs of slowing down within the competitive pinball community. We wanted to take a quick look back at the growth we saw during 2024.
We’re proud to say that the total number of IFPA sanctioned events for 2024 was 12,603. This represents a 22% growth from the end of 2023 where we had 10,324 IFPA sanctioned events on the calendar. Total player attendance at those events was 287,696, up 17% from 2022.
In addition, the number of unique players that played in an IFPA sanctioned tournament during 2024 was 38,538, up 17% from the number of players that were active during 2023.
The IFPA wishes to thank everyone in the competitive pinball community for continuing to support everything we do to spread the world about our incredible sport to the masses.
