<\/div>\n

This expo is 30,000 square feet of fun for the whole family. The kids can have never-ending excitement with a caricature artist, face painting, friendly clowns, balloon animals, yo yo and juggling show. The adults can bring out their inner child with over 200 pinball machines set on free play, all while enjoying an ice-cold craft beer.<\/p>\n

Well over 170 pinball machines set on free play! The mix is different each year, thanks to the dedicated hobbyists, operators, and game vendors who bring games to show off. Expect pinball machines that span a wide time range, and some non-pinball arcade games as well!<\/p>\n

Our headlining tournament, the Silverball Rumble\u2120<\/span>, run by the Sanctum takes place in the back of the vendor hall. It\u2019s an IFPA-endorsed event with unlimited PAPA-style qualifying. Entries are $10 each and qualifying begins at Noon on Friday. The top 24 get into elimination rounds to qualify for cash prizes (top 8) and trophies (top 3).<\/p>\n

In the same tournament area, there will be a side tournament for charity, played on the new Total Nuclear Annihilation<\/a> game. The player who has the most reactors by Saturday closing time will get half the accumulated entry fees; the other half goes to the Andrea Ritz Clinics<\/a> in Paraguay. (Ties broken by conventional point score.)<\/p>\n

Our Pingolf tournament run by Southern N.H. Pinball will be a more casual event, where you will be able to come and go starting Thursday evening. This tournament will take place in the Executive Room (the old VIP room across from the Seminar Theater), starting at 6:00 PM each day. Each night is a separate tournament. The room\u00a0 will be open Thursday evening, Friday and Saturday, including late hours.\u00a0 A small entry fee will be charged to build prize money. We encourage players of any skill level to try it out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
