  5. Hi All, Our friendly IFPA Reps have confirmed the following tournaments will be run across the festival weekend for Non-ACS competitors and those who unfortunately don't reach the ACS finals on Sunday. These tournaments will be run in a dedicated tournament area of the Festival in parallel to the Australian Pinball Championships (ACS). If you'd like more information on the format of the ACS competition, please visit the dedicated thread here. Friday, 8 March 2024 [Evening Session] Friday Night Social Comp | Group Match Play | 7PM | $30 | IFPA Registered Saturday, 9 March 2024 [Morning Session] Little Wizards (Kids) Tournament | Under 16s | Format TBD (subject to numbers) | 9:30AM | $5 | Not IFPA Registered Women's Tournament | Group Match Play + Top 4 Playoff | 10:30AM | $20 | IFPA Registered [Afternoon Session] Saturday Afternoon Flip-Off | Best Game + *Finals (subject to numbers/time available) | 1:00PM | $20 | IFPA Registered [Evening Session] Saturday Night Social Comp | Fair Strikes | 7:00PM | $30 | IFPA Registered Sunday, 10 March 2024 [Super Session] Battle Royale | Target Match Play + *Finals (subject to numbers/time available) | 10:00AM | $20 | IFPA Registered Other Tournaments: High Stakes | 10-Game Card | Not IFPA Registered | Requires min. 10 registered players by 10AM Sat morning of the Festival. Tournament entries will be available for purchase on the day with competitors receiving a wristband to confirm their entry. Some Festival weekend passes include limited tournament entries. For details on weekend pass inclusions please head over to the Festival web site here. If anyone has any questions on Non-ACS tournaments at the Festival this year, please feel free to ask and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.
  6. Just an update for everyone. ๐Ÿ˜€ We are busy working with IFPA WA Reps to finalise the tournaments across the weekend. The final list of comps and tournaments will be published later this week pending some final approvals - this will include details such as dates, timings, tournament formats etc. Also, in other news...there will be a calendar of lead-up events announced shortly. We've had a number of our event partners jump onboard wanting to celebrate all things pinball in the lead up to the Festival. There will be events the week of the festival as well (like above) for any early interstate travellers as well.
  7. Hello Everyone, It seems there is still some confusion and misinformation out there regarding comps for the West Coast Pinball Festival 2024. There will be more than 2 comps across the entire weekend, any suggestion to the contrary is false or a rumour. There will be plenty of comps and tournaments across the weekend as indicated above, however some comps we do not have the specific details of yet until we have finalised scheduling and resourcing with both the IFPA reps and the festival teams. Please if you are uncertain or have any further questions, we're happy to answer these anytime. Contact us here, or drop us a questions on Facebook, Instagram, or the festival web site.
  8. Hi All! We've received a lot of questions over the past week regarding ACS and which tournaments and comps will be run at the Festival in 2024. Which Tournaments & Comps are currently locked in? Friday Night Social Comp Women's Tournament (Sat) Kids Tournament (Sat) Saturday Night Social Comp 2024 Australian Pinball Championships (ACS) - Qualifying : Sat, Finals : Sun Are you running other Tournaments and Comps...surely there's more than this? YES! There will be plenty of additional comps run over the weekend that the IFPA WA Reps are busy trying to plan or organise as we speak - these have not been published yet until a detailed schedule is finalised. What Happened to the MAIN EVENT Tournament? As the Festival will be hosting the 2024 Australian Pinball Championships (ACS) we have decided not to run the regular Main Event Tournament which is the large comp we run every year at the festival. What other Comps are being looked at currently? Here's a sneak peak at what is being considered and planned for subject to event scheduling, TD/Scorekeeper and machine availability etc. Saturday: Comp for non-ACS players Sunday: Comp for players not in ACS Finals or non-ACS players High Stakes Tournament Others... Will there be any lead up events during Festival week? YES! We are working with major pinball locations and arcade/bars in Perth for lead-up events the week of the Festival. There will be a mix of social events and competition. As the State IFPA Reps finalise plans and scheduling for additional Tournaments and Comps, we'll publish it here. We appreciate the number of comps being run is a factor for some people in considering whether to attend the Festival. Also please remember, the West Coast Pinball Festival will have the entire festival floor on free-play with a dedicated section for tournaments and comps. While comps are running (or in between) there's plenty of machines to play and other pinheads to socialise with. Any questions, please feel free to ask or reach out privately for a chat.
