MARCH MATCHPLAY MADNESS
Selection Sunday has nothing on this.
Get ready for two days of nonstop pinball action as March Matchplay Madness tips off — and trust us, this is one tournament you won’t want to be left out of the bracket.
We’re expecting this to be one of the biggest TGP events in Florida, with wall-to-wall pinball, deep matchplay rounds, and a TON of IFPA points on the line. This event will be fully IFPA certified, stacking 200% TGP for the event plus 125% for certification, bringing us to a massive 250% TGP.
That’s championship-level points.
