64 of the top ranked pinball players form around the world came to Cokato, Minnesota for the IFPA7. With players competing form 12 countries, it truly was an international field. This championship was full of surprises, as we saw relative newcomers climb up the ranks, and odds-on favorites take early exits. Current PAPA World Champion Keith Elwin was eliminated immediately in round 1, while reigning back-to-back IFPA World Champion Bowen Kerins was out after 2 rounds. The youngest player to ever play in an IFPA World Championship, 12 year old Josh Henderson, made an incredible finish in 8th place, while current world ranked #1 Jorian Engelbrektsson’s event was cut short with a 5th place finish. In the end there were only 2 players left, and it was Andy Rosa of the USA against Daniele Acciari of Italy for the Title of IFPA World Pinball Champion. Daniele took the lead with a win on Spiderman followed by another on Bow & Arrow. Andy took the win on Getaway, only to be defeated on Pirates of the Caribbean… and with a final victory on Wizard, Daniele Celestino Acciari became this year’s IFPA World Pinball Champion, the first one ever from outside of the United States!! Pictured left to right is Andy Rosa (2nd), Daniele Celestino Acciari (1st), Jorgen Holm (4th), John Miller (3rd). Full results can be found HERE.

As more pinball players continued to arrive from around the world for the IFPA World Pinball Championship, the field for the next Pre-IFPA Tournament grew to over 60 players. Similar to Pinball Plus the night before, a bank of 5 machines were used to qualify for that night’s finals: Royal Flush, Jacks to Open, Bobby Orr Power Play, as well as Spiderman and Big Buck Hunter, both by Stern Pinball. Once again, Sean Grant captured Top Qualifier to automatically advance to the round of 8. The next 16 qualified players competed to be one of 7 who would again join Sean in the round of 8. This time it looked like Sean might make the finals thanks to a great score on Big Buck Hunter, well over 20 million… but along came Paul Madison, going in with under 5 million, to score a RAM Special for 18 million, eclipsing Sean and making it to the final rounds himself!  When all was said and done, Paul was able to use that momentum to take it to the finish and win the tournament! 2nd place went to our hard working Pre-IFPA host, Derek Fugate, 3rd again to Nicola Pierobon, and 4th to Mads Kristensen. A Classics Tournament was also held that day, with Pinball Plus winner Eden Stamm coming out on top. Full results can be found HERE.

Around 30 players participated in the first Tournament welcoming players to Minnesota, arriving from around the world for the IFPA World Pinball Championship. Players competed of a bank of 5 machines: Rocky, Jokerz, Nitro Groundshaker, The Getaway: High Speed 2, and Bram Stoker’s Dracula. The top qualifier, Sean Grant, received a bye, while the next 16 players played off to be one of 7 players to advance to join Sean the round of 8. From that round, the top 4 players went on to play one final match, and in the end it was Eden Stamm emerging victoious! 2nd place went to Cayle George, 3rd to Nicola Pierobon, and 4th to Bob Matthews.
