Pinburgh 2013 Match-Play Championship

The Pinburgh Match-Play Championship will be held at PAPA April 11-14, 2013, only 329 days from now.

ADAM BECKER - PINBURGH 2012 CHAMPION

When Pinburgh was relaunched as the Match-Play Championship in the spring of 2011, we introduced a unique match play concept that ensures every player gets to compete for at least two full days. This structure was developed by Bowen Kerins, former World Pinball Champion, and is designed to accommodate players of all skill levels.

In 2013, Pinburgh will begin with the 2012 Tournament Circuit Final on Thursday, April 11, an invitation-only competition for Tournament Circuit leaders and event winners. Circuit Final details are available here.

We are currently revising the Pinburgh format for 2013, and full details will be available here in the fall of 2012.

Pinburgh is a completely open event with a single registration fee for each player. Token purchases go directly to charity, and to date, $26,885 has been raised for the Western Pennsylvania Humane Society. Each player should expect to use a minimum of $20 of tokens while competing.

Yes, Pinburgh is Open to the Public!

This is one of only two events where PAPA is open to the public. Players of all skill levels are welcome, as well as spectators. Whether you compete or not, you are welcome to browse the 200+ non-tournament pinball machines, play practice games (2 tokens per play), meet other players, and watch the tournament.

There will be a custom, collectible token for Pinburgh attendees only; this ultra-rare token will be included in each roll of tokens sold at the event.
