Tournament Overview


Registration for this tournament opens on April 15, 2023

Start Date: August 04, 2023
End Date: August 05, 2023

THE BEAST, August 4-6, 2023 at Pocketeer Billiards.

There are 4 pinball tournaments (Main, Classics, Women’s, 3 strikes), with big cash, prizes, and trophies. All tournament games will be on free play!

Weekend passes for THE BEAST are $80 and go on sale on Saturday, April 15 at 10am ET online at www.pinballprofile.com/thebeast. Limited to the first 120 players. Confirmation and payment option will be sent once registration form is completed. A wait list will be taken for those not in the first 120 registered. Payment (via Venmo or PayPal) will be required by Monday, April 17th at 6pm ET for those registered online, otherwise your reservation for THE BEAST will be removed. Those who pay before Monday, April 17th at 6pm ET will receive an early bird bonus of 7 free game entries (a $20 value)! This registration fee covers usage of pinball machines (turned to free play), IFPA fees, trophies, and other tournament expenses.

For THE BEAST Main, Classics, and Women’s Tournaments players can purchase unlimited tickets to play individual games on their respective tournament machines (Herb style format). Each player's best score on each machine is tracked and those scores are ranked against the other competitor's scores on that machine using the Never Drains software. Players receive an aggregate of their machine rankings on their required number of games in each tournament to determine their overall qualifying position. Tickets are priced at 3 for $10, and 7 for $20 (cash sales only at the Event). All money from paid tickets goes into the prize pools. All playoff finalists for THE BEAST Main, Classics and Women’s receive cash prizes based on their finishing position. Additional prizes are given to the top 4 from their respective tournament sponsors. Final payouts are determined by their tournament’s prize pools based on paid entries, which will be updated in real time on Never Drains software on Day 2. There will also be random prize draws throughout THE BEAST.

THE BEAST Classics Tournament presented in part by LTC Pinball features up to 11 solid state and EM pinball machines. Qualifying happens all day Friday and until 4pm on Saturday. Your top scores on 6 different machines determine your ranking. At the end of qualifying Saturday at 4pm, the top 24 players will play in the playoffs to be held later that Saturday afternoon. Cash prizes for top 24, and trophies for top 4. This IFPA Certified Classics tournament is scheduled for 190% TGP.

Refund policy:
Once your $80 registration is paid, if you need to withdraw from THE BEAST, you can receive a 100% refund up until May 15. From May 16-June 15, you can receive a 75% refund. From June 16-July 15, you can receive a 50% refund. No refunds will be given beyond July 15.
