Last weekend, if you were paying any attention to the pinball community you might have noticed there were a lot of people playing, streaming, watching, and talking about competitive pinball. This is because of the annual IFPA North American Championship Series and the Women's North American Championship Series.
For the uninitiated, most competitive pinball events in the world are sanctioned by an organization called the IFPA (International Flipper Pinball Association). As players compete throughout the year in IFPA sanctioned pinball tournaments, they earn points (WPPRs). In North America (and elsewhere), WPPR earnings are tracked for each participating State/Province and at the end of the year, top players are invited to participate in State/Provincial finals. Winners of these tournaments then qualify for a spot in the coveted North American Pinball Championship for a chance at eternal pinball glory.
