Tournament

Join us at Capital Pinball for a night of fun, friendly competition as part of the New England Pinball League (NEPL)! Whether you’re a seasoned player or just getting into the game, our league nights are the perfect opportunity to play some pinball, meet fellow enthusiasts, and improve your skills.

Format:

League Play: All league players who are in attendance at league start time will be randomly assigned to 3- and 4-player groups. Groups are selected randomly by a manual method, i.e. drawing cards. Games are selected by the league players in each group. In 4-player groups, each league player will select one machine to be played, and those four machines will make up the group’s schedule for the session. In 3-player groups, the fourth game will be chosen by the league player currently in first place. If there is a tie for the most points, the player who placed higher in the most recent game has game choice. No machine may be selected more than once unless there are fewer than four functioning machines at the location. The player who chooses the game plays first on that game then play order continues as follows: Scoring: Players earn points based on their performance each week, with rankings updated throughout the season. At the end of the season, the top players will qualify for the playoffs, where the best of the best will face off to determine the league champion. In each game, a league player scores points for their finish against their opponents. The winner of a game gets 7 points, and last place gets 1 point. Specific points available depend on the size of the group: 3-league player group: 1st = 7 points, 2nd = 4 points, 3rd = 1 point 4-league player group: 1st = 7 points, 2nd = 5 points, 3rd = 3 points, 4th = 1 point Inclusivity: All skill levels are welcome, from beginners to advanced players. The league is about having fun and building a community, so don’t worry if you’re new to the game—everyone has a shot at victory!
