PAPA previously held an annual championship tournament where the best players in the world competed for the title, World Pinball Champion. In support of that goal, PAPA designed a very challenging format that allows the best of the best to rise to the top. The Pinball Asylum is "old school," and has continued this very challenging tournament again for 2021.The format for OUR "PAPA-Style" Tournament calls for each player to put together their best single entry or scorecard during qualifying. An entry consists of five (5) games chosen by the player from a bank of ten (10) available machines. All games in each entry count equally toward a player’s qualifying total, meaning the system is intended to reward consistently good play, rather than a mixture of good and poor play.
