The media attention continues for our newest World Champion. This time he decided to get a haircut in advance of appearing on ABC4 KOMO News in Seattle. Click HERE to watch the piece.

Seattle’s online newspaper The Stranger also had a piece on newly crowned IFPA14 World Pinball Champion Raymond Davidson. Click HERE to read the article.

We’re nearly halfway through the 2017-18 IFPA State Championship Series season, and we couldn’t be more excited about the continued growth of interest in the SCS.

Last year we saw approximately 10,000 players participate in the SCS, and this year through June we’re already at 8,000 players that have participated.

We currently have 40 states included in the SCS, which will all culminate in the IFPA State Championship finals. These finals will all be held simultaneously on January 20th, 2018, with 640 finalists competing for not only a State Championship title, but also a spot in the IFPA US National Pinball Championship.

View the current SCS standings HERE.

For those players north of the US border, the IFPA Canada Provincial Championship Series is also currently in progress. Current standings for the Canada PCS are available HERE. A reminder that the Provincial Champions also qualify to participate in the US National Championship.

A reminder that the official satellite spots for the IFPA15 World Pinball Championship will come from the 2017-18 IFPA US National Pinball Championship, and the 2017-18 IFPA European Pinball Championship. The highest finisher in each final that has not yet qualified for IFPA15 will win a free spot into the World Championship.
