A little history... water under the bridge, so to speak... In September 2004, five days after the PAPA 7 tournament ended, the PAPA Headquarters were destroyed by a severe flood. All of the pinball machines were devastated; only two were saved and restored. Pictures of the damage are available. We promptly rebuilt, however!

Complete information about each and every previous PAPA and Pinburgh tournament can be found in the navigation bar on the right.
