The West Virginia Pinball League will meet weekly on Tuesday evenings at a private residence in Morgantown, WV, for a total of 9 of league pinball. Week 9 is reserved for league finals. League nights start at 7 P.M. and will feature multiplayer pinball in an evening of friendly fun, camaraderie, and laid-back competition. The address is available upon request.

Week 1: 2/624

Week 3: 2/20/24
Week 4: 2/27/24
Week 5: 3/5/24
Week 6: 3/12/24
Week 7: 3/19/24
Week 8: 3/26/24
Finals Date TBD.
All players who are in attendance for a given league night will be randomly placed into 2, 3, 4 or 5 player groups. 2 and 5 player groups will not be used unless absolutely necessary. Players will play in the groups as sorted by league manager software .
Grouping structure will be different for this season. In Week 1, players will be randomly assigned to groups of 4 as best as possible, which will then be randomly assigned to a bank of four machines. For all subsequent weeks, players will still be placed using a balanced pairing system that emphasizes placement against previously unfaced opponents and then assigned to a bank of four random machines. Machine selection will also be programmed to be as balanced as possible for all players.

League players are encouraged to attend every week, but 100% attendance is not required. You can miss two weeks of the season without any penalty to your score (see the scoring section for details.) However, if you have missed two weeks, your lowest scores for any future missed weeks will stand, even if they are zero.
Dues for the season is $20.
All league dues will be spent on league activities and be paid out in prizes. League officials will not receive any kind of monetary compensation for their duties. Anticipated expenditures include trophies and materials needed for running league. As such $16 from every player will go towards cash payouts with the remaining $4 being distributed as follows:.
$1 from each entry will go towards the IFPA endorsement fee.
$3 from each entry will go towards a league fund to help pay for trophies/awards/bounties and season end party.
If league is to have only an A division, 100% of payouts will go to A division.
If league is to have an A and B division, 60% of remaining funds will go to the A division pool, 40% will go to the B division pool.
If league is to have an A, B, and C division, 40% will go to the A division, 35% to the B division, and 25% to the C division.
Within divisions 40% - 25% - 20% - 15% will be the payouts for positions 1-4. These may be adjusted accordingly depending on the number of players in a given division at finals.
