The Fountain Square Pinball Classic returns for the 5th consecutive year on Saturday, November 12 to La Margarita in Fountain Square, just minutes southeast of the heart of Downtown Indianapolis.

This year, 48 players will compete for the coveted title. Qualifying will take place over eight machines in two qualifying sessions, a morning grouping (10 a.m.) and an afternoon grouping (1 p.m.).

After qualifying, the top 24 players will compete in the A Bracket Finals to be held in the restaurant, while the lower 24 qualifiers will move upstairs to our PinVault (a literal vault on the second floor of our building filled with pins!) where they will compete in a completely revamped B Bracket Finals!

With two brackets going at the same time, this year's pinball classic will be the smoothest, funnest to date!
