circuitThe IFPA is proud to announce the kickoff of the IFPA Pro Circuit. The IFPA Pro Circuit offers the country’s most competitive players a setting where they can showcase their hard work and talent and be rewarded for the time and effort that they have invested in the sport they love so much.

The IFPA Pro Circuit is the series of sanctioned events held annually across the country in which registered players accumulate WPPR points towards their IFPA Pro Circuit standings. Only players registered in advance as an “IFPA Pro” will be included in the IFPA Pro Circuit standings. Details on how to register are below.

Throughout the IFPA Pro Circuit, there are 10 IFPA Pro Circuit event locations, each chosen for its great pinball culture and its ability to provide unique travel and competition experiences.

For the 2016-17 season this includes:

  • Pinball Expo Flip Out
  • Texas Pinball Festival

At the end of the last event on the IFPA Pro Circuit, the top 10 players will qualify for the IFPA Pro Circuit Championship. With the help of the Professional and Amateur Pinball Association, they have offered to host the inaugural IFPA Pro Circuit Championships. It is slated for April 11th, 2017 at 101 Keystone Dr, Carnegie, PA. Further details on the format will be posted to our website.
