Ball Busters Women's Pinball League
The Pinball Gallery hosts the "Ball Busters" women's-only pinball league sanctioned by the IFPA (International Flipper Pinball Association).
Starting in 2024, we will have 4 league seasons spread out throughout the year. Each season runs for 8 weeks + 1 week for playoffs. The next season starts on Wednesday January TBD, 2025.
League Details
-
When: League night takes place on Wednesdays at 6:45 PM. The start of the next season is Wednesday January TBD, 2025.
-
Who: The league is open to women of all ages and skill levels. First time players to experienced players are welcome.
-
How: The league runs for 8 weeks + 1 week for playoffs. For the first 4 weeks you are placed into a group of 3 or 4 players and compete for score to see who places 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th. You are assigned points based on how you place. You play 5 games each week. Each week your group will change based on current point total, as you will be placed into a group with roughly the same point total. At the end of 8 weeks of play, we take the total points from your top 6 weeks during those 8 weeks and that determines how you are placed into a division for the playoffs (note: selecting the top 6 weeks out of 8 allows for you to miss two weeks without drastically affecting your point total). For the playoffs on week 9, competition is just within your division. Roughly 1/2 of the top players after week 8 will qualify for the Division A playoffs and the other 1/2 will compete in a Division B playoff.
-
Dues: League dues are $15 for a 8-week season + 1 week of playoffs.
-
Cost to Play: The cost to play each week is reduced to only $10 and allows league players to play until closing. Your children or significant other may also play on their own during your league time for the same reduced rate.
