Australian Open Pinball Championships December 2023

(5 reviews)

In line with the US and UK Open Championships, the Australian version is to be held at Twin Towns Resorts, Tweed Heads, NSW from 30/11-3/12 2023.

This will be a 3 day main event - 2 days of open unlimited qualifying using the 5 - game card system used in the US and UK, with the top 32 progressing to Sundays Finals. We anticipate over 30 games available for the event in our own private "River Room" at the base of the hotel. 

Side competition will include a warm-up Target Matchplay on the Thursday Night, a 3-strike knockout on the Friday night and a closing Flip Frenzy on the Sunday night for those that stay around. Saturday evening will be for more finals qualifying, or exploring the location!

A separate Women's qualifying with finals will be held on the Sunday morning, and prizes are available for Top junior (12 and under) and Top Senior (55 and over) qualifying score.

Twin Towns Sebel/Mantra resort has arranged 10% off all accommodation booked for the event. The resort is 1 street from Coolangatta beach and the tournament event is being held in the resort itself. Families are encouraged to attend for a pre-Christmas holiday! The location is only 7 minutes drive from Coolangatta Airport. The Event room itself has it's own bar and is linked by a walkway to the Twin Towns services club that has 7 restaurants, gaming rooms (that Pokies sadly), live music and show rooms (not sure who is on the schedule at the moment for that time). Link for the venue is here: https://www.twintowns.com.au/stay/

 

It is hoped this can become and annual event as is done in the UK and USA, and expanded to include Classic Events and even High Stakes if people are interested. Final details and pricing will be forthcoming. We have a great committee working on this so hope everyone has a great time!!!

Just 100 meters from our old Cooly Classic venue.

Sounds like a no brainer to me.

Bring it on.

And if I get the shits up I can walk 50 meters and be back home in Queensland.....

The state of true Pinheads...

Finally a card based qualification tournament here in Australia.

Dead keen!

Will be coming up for a full week with the family and camping nearby at Tweed Heads Holiday Park. $320 for 7 nights on a powered site. 

Interested in the card format, haven't played one of those before.

Classic and High Stakes events for following years sound interesting.

Keen for sure. Will have access to a 3 bedroom unit at Cabarita Beach. Hit me up if you are interested.
