PAPA 21 World Pinball Championships – Registration is OPEN!

We are pleased to announce the PAPA 21 World Pinball Championships, a Memorial for Suicide Awareness in memory of Lyman F. Sheats, Jr.

The last PAPA World Pinball Championships were held in April 2017, and since that time, we have lost Lyman to suicide. The legendarily challenging format of the World Pinball Championships made this Lyman’s favorite tournament, which he won in 2004 and 2006 (he also won the earlier PAPA 3, which used a different format), while consistently reaching the finals in almost every year. This tournament now honors his legacy in the pinball world, as well as his memory as a person.

The event will be held September 5-8, 2024, at Enterrium in Schaumburg, Illinois. This is a charity event that we hope will be rewarding for players, while honoring Lyman’s memory and raising money for suicide awareness.

Pre-registration is not required but is encouraged. Full details are at https://lfs.papa.org/ and we encourage anyone interested to spread the link.
