Spring league is just around the corner! We are freshening up the lineup and squeezing in another season so we can have a nice long break before PinBaltimore 2025!
This league is open to everyone and we are always welcoming new players. As a matter of fact, last season nearly a third of our players were first-timers!
Our league is designed so that everyone makes the playoffs and will be matched with new players each week. Everyone makes finals and you are matched with players of equal skill. So don't be shy, give it a try! We are all just here to have fun and play some pinball.

HOW IT WORKS:
For each session you will be assigned to a 3 (preferred) or (possibly 4) player group, and play 4 games. It takes about an hour or two. Sometimes we have free (with charitable donation) after tournaments as well if you wanna stick around and flip even longer!
There are 10 total weekly sessions, but you only have to show for 6 out of 10!
League nights will be Wednesdays @ 8pm. Yes, we are bumping start time back 15 minutes. Deal with it. The ‘regular season’ of the league consists of 10 sessions. A player is eligible to play in all sessions during the season, but you only have to show up 6 times. Your best 6 (out of up to 10) weekly results will be used to establish the league standings and seeding for finals.
GUESTS
Anyone can show up for a week and try it out. Bring a friend any week you want! The league encourages new players to the community by allowing guests to play along with a group, but scores do not factor into the scoresheets.
SCHEDULE
Every Weds starting Jan 22nd @ 8:00 (Yes, 8. Bumping start back 15 mins. Deal with it.)
Last week of regular season is March 26th
One week break
Finals Sunday, April 6th
then we rest...
Then PinBaltimore April 18 - 20!!!

FINALS
For finals the league will be split into divisions, each division will play a ladder format final. For each ladder the bottom 4 seeds in a group will play, the lowest scoring player will be eliminated, and then the next highest seed joins. This process is repeated until the highest seed joins in. The final 4 plays and loser is eliminated, to make the final 3, and the process continues until there is one remaining player. Order of elimination provides final league standing for each group.
Guests are welcome, but league players are not allowed to participate as guests.
First week please arrive 7:30pm to allow for registration. You can help speed up week one if you pre-register for league through the form found on the league webpage.
