DFW Pinball League

We provide low cost and family friendly competitive pinball for Dallas, Fort Worth, and all of North Texas!

The original DFW Pinball League!

Started and operating since 2015, The DFW Pinball League serves all of North Texas

Louis Marx has been buying/selling/trading and playing pinball in North Texas since 2001.
He has been attending the Texas Pinball Festival every year since 2001 (through all five cities that have hosted the event over the years)!
The DFW League started in 2015 at an arcade called Nickelrama. In 2016 we were still at Nickelrama part of the time and also started hosting events in unique and rare PRIVATE pinball collections. In 2017 we moved to the current model of having ALL events take place in some of the best North Texas game rooms and private pinball collections.

.... AND NOW: thanks to our efforts, there are now multiple leagues in North Texas, running at multiple venues. So EVERYONE can have access to pinball tournaments and leagues!
We ALWAYS encourage family participation and even have events specifically for kids with amazing prizes!

This league, the original DFW Pinball League, travels to some of the best North Texas game rooms and private pinball collections from APRIL THROUGH DECEMBER every year! For each event, you would usually pay $5 -- HOWEVER, FOR 2023, that price is increased to $10 for adults and $5 for kids to recoup actual league expenses -- After that we plan on reverting to the original cost of $5 for everyone. These funds cover the IFPA sanctioning fees and actual event costs. The officials make NO MONEY on the league - WE ARE ALL VOLUNTEERS. Generally, I will not turn anyone away over money at the events hosted at people's homes (private pinball collections). If you can't pay, I will pay for you! 

Occasionally, there will be a charity component (ask) as well. When this happens, you must be able to pay this. Usually the charity asks are small. For example, the Toad Suck Shootout is a charity event that opens out league every year and the ask there has been for an a minimum of $25-30 in past years (which goes towards Education and College Scholarships for kids).

These leagues are for ALL SKILL LEVELS. We have had players as young as 3 years old and as old as 81 in our leagues. So everyone is welcome - Just come , hang out , eat , drink , & play pinball! Its about having fun!

Most events are sanctioned by the International Flipper Pinball Association: https://www.ifpapinball.com/ and, while Louis Marx is the Head Tournament Director and League Official, all events are brought to you by and are the property of DFW Pinball League, LLC.

League Standings and Rules

2023 Spring/Summer League
Qualifying Results through ALL qualifiers:

ANYONE who played in any of the SIX (6) qualifiers if eligible for the playoffs!
The Finals for this League will be held on Saturday August 5.
All events for the NEXT league are also published later on this page!


Due to an error in the format of this ONE (1) league -- this will NOT happen in future leagues -- the ONLY players that will get WPPR points for the league are those who attend the finals.
Instead of 200%, TGP will be relegated to somewhere around 90%.
HOWEVER, we will have MORE players so that helps increase the value.
I truly apologize for any inconvenience this causes but
I ALWAYS believe in full disclosure so I wanted to make everyone aware.
AGAIN, this will NOT happen in future leagues - we have corrected for the issue going forward!

PLEASE NOTE: The qualifying still matters because it determines how many strikes you'll have available to you in the finals!

 

NORMALLY:

We have BOTH league and tournament play at most events but LEAGUE is worth up to 200% TGP, has an awesome trophy for the winner, and has the MOST valuable 'random' prize giveaways! If you haven't already, JOIN the league today!

If you have played in LESS THAN four events, your average might look lower. DON'T LET THAT DISCOURAGE YOU - since we use the average of your top events, it will look right one you play in enough events.
So, with that having been said, here are the standings and a picture of the Trophy for the Finals.


2023 DFW Pinball League
Explanation and Specific Rules!

At each NORMAL league event we actually have MULTIPLE events going on:
(1) A DFW League event (open to everyone)
(2) A standalone IFPA tournament
(3) A "KIDZ Final" with incredible prizes for the children aged 16 and under

SPRING/SUMMER LEAGUE ONLY -- We held a women's league event (which usually mirrored the DFW league event) - Starting with the FALL  LEAGUE the women will be hosting their own events.  https://www.facebook.com/dfwwomenspinballleague/ for info on the DFW Women's League

WHY WE DO THIS?
A lot of our serious competitors need "WPPR Points" and by running the multiple concurrent events, this provides more points for them while also providing a variety of choices for everyone.
NO ONE IS REQUIRED TO PLAY IN ALL EVENTS -- DO WHAT YOU WANT --- WE ARE HERE TO HAVE A PARTY (WITH A LITTLE PINBALL MIXED IN) AND EVERYONE IS WELCOME!
We provide hours upon hours of pinball fun - YOU choose how much you participate. Its totally up to you! Play as much or as little as you like!

MOST EVENTS: have random PRIZE drawings so, ANYONE can win! These include T-Shirts, Gift Cards, and more!

SOME EVENTS WILL REQUIRE AN RSVP -- RSVP RULES (subject to change):
---- We will be using the NEW RSVP system that was built into the Matchplay website at https://next.matchplay.events/
---- Since this is a new Matchplay feature, we reserve the right to update this rule IF needed.
---- For any events requiring an RSVP, the event will be submitted to the IFPA and have a Matchplay page built for it 30 or more days prior to the day that we start accepting RSVPs.
---- If you are unable to get Matchplay to work for you, you can reach out to Louis Marx (marx.pinball@gmail.com) via email or on Facebook Messenger, however, until he has replied, you are NOT registered. If all registration slots become FULL while waiting on that reply, you will be added to the waitlist for that event. Louis Marx is not responsible for communications that he does not receive, regardless of who is at fault.

IN THE TOURNAMENTS:
---- The A Division players are looking for "WPPR Points".
---- We give prizes like gift cards, t-shirts, and MORE for the B Division players -- so ALL SKILL LEVELS CAN WIN!
---- A person who has placed in the TOP 4 in A division in any of the past THREE (3) events hosted by this league will be ineligible for B Division play. This can include results submitted from a completed league or a special event. This  helps to leave the B division prizes for B division players!


KIDZ FINAL:

  1. Based on the qualifying in each of the tournaments, the top four eligible kids aged 16 and under will play ONE game to determine the winner of the KIDZ FINAL.
  2. If there are less than 4 eligible kids, then we will play with all eligible kids that are present. 
  3. The intent is to provide an age appropriate prize to the winner of the KIDZS FINAL at each event.
  4. To insure that its fair for all kids and that everyone has a chance to win, a child will be EXCLUDED from the KIDZ FINAL for next two events after they WIN, thus giving other kids a chance to win.
  5. The KIDZ FINAL is unsanctioned and therefore, a kid can choose to play in BOTH the KIDZ Final and the tournament finals if they wish.

FALL LEAGUE STRUCTURE:

Each league will consist of 7 Events

The first SIX (6) EVENTS will be "Group Match Play" format -
A series of events will be created on the Matchplay website (https://next.matchplay.events/).
Players will play in groups of FOUR (4) that are balanced across the entire series. This means that it will try to group players with other players that have not already been faced in this league.
At each league event, each group will play FOUR (4) games in their assigned grouping. 

  1. To be eligible for playoffs/finals (and IFPA/WPPR Points) any player that qualifies must participate in 50% or more of the qualifying games. Thus, a player may attend only HALF/THREE (3) of the events and still be eligible for the playoffs.
    NOTE: Even if you won't place well enough to play in the playoffs/finals, playing in 3 or more events benefits EVERYONE because it increases the value of the WPPR points for entire league.
  2. League Standings and playoffs/finals qualification:
    -- League standings will be based on the total score for each player's top 4 events.
    -- Based on the 4 event basis, a player can miss 2 of the 6 qualifying events without hindering their standing.
    -- Those that compete in all 6 events will have a better chances Matchplay uses their best 4 qualifying events.
    -- If someone only competes in 3 qualifying events, they ARE still eligible for the playoffs/finals, but a ZERO will be used as score for their fourth event.
    -- If needed (If players are tied for the final playoff spot), a tiebreaker game will be played on the DAY OF the playoffs/finals to determine the final entrant in the playoffs/finals.
  3. The SEVENTH (7th) event will be the playoffs/finals. We will include as many players as possible in the playoffs/finals, capped at a maximum of 50% of players that qualified by participating in 3 or more events.
  4. Thus, if a higher ranked eligible player fails to attend, that person's spot will be given to the NEXT HIGHEST RANKED qualifying player that is present.
  5. League standings coming into the playoffs/finals will be posted BOTH, on this website AND in the league Facebook group (DFW Pinball League, News, and Events at https://www.facebook.com/groups/164360813769869/).
  6. League playoffs/finals will be a strikes tournament (a player is eliminated after receiving a preset number of strikes).
  7. League playoffs/finals start PROMPTLY. The cut-off for getting registered is at the START of the players meeting at the beginning of the playoffs. Anyone arriving after that cannot be in the playoffs unless they have texted or direct messaged Louis Marx (with his acknowledgment that he received it) to let him know they are going to be late (so he can add them). He can be DM-ed on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or via text message (for those players that have requested his phone number AT an event). If he DID NOT acknowledge your message, then he did not receive it and we are not responsible if he does not receive it OR for technical difficulties/glitches/problems. . . so just BE ON TIME!
  8. For ties in playoffs, results are reported based on each players' seed coming into/entering the playoffs, so qualifying position MATTERS!

Archive and Changelogs

Archived: Spring/Summer 2023 League Structure (Keep at least 18 months in case needed):

(This is the DFW League ONLY - Go to the Women's League web page for women's rules)

Each league will consist of 7 Events - The first SIX (6) EVENTS will be "best score" format - players will have unlimited number of attempts on a group of machines to get the best score possible. The system will take the best score(s) submitted by each player, for each machine within the parameters of the event.

  1. To be eligible for playoffs/finals any player that qualifies must participate in 50% or more of the qualifying games. Therefore EACH qualifier will have the same number of net qualifying scores required. By doing this, while a player can attend all league events, a player may attend only HALF/THREE (3) of them and still be eligible for the playoffs.
  2. The SEVENTH (7th) event will be the playoffs/finals. We will include as many players as possible in the playoffs/finals, capped at a maximum of 50% of players that qualified by participating in 3 or more events (THIS IS AN INCREASED PLAYOFF SIZE SO MORE PEOPLE CAN PLAY).
  3. Thus, if a higher ranked eligible player fails to attend, that person's spot will be given to the NEXT HIGHEST RANKED qualifying player that is present.
  4. League standings coming into the playoffs will be posted BOTH, on this website AND in the official Facebook group (DFW Pinball League, News, and Events).
  5. League playoffs will be a strikes tournament (a player is eliminated after receiving a preset number of strikes).
    --- How do I make it to the league playoffs? See League Scoring below:
    --- League finals start PROMPTLY. The cut-off for getting registered is at the START of the players meeting at the beginning of the playoffs. Anyone arriving after that cannot be in the playoffs unless they have texted or direct messaged Louis Marx (with his acknowledgment that he received it) to let him know they are going to be late (so he can add them). He can be DM-ed on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or via text message (for those players that have requested his phone number AT an event). If he DID NOT acknowledge your message, then he did not receive it and we are not responsible if he does not receive it OR for technical difficulties/glitches/problems. . . so just BE ON TIME!

--> LEAGUE SCORING (please note that this is LEAGUE scoring, not WPPR points - WPPR points come from the IFPA based on final league results):

-- You are eligible for IFPA WPPR points and to play in the playoffs/finals if you play in 3 of the 6 qualifiers. Even if you won't place well enough to play in the playoffs/finals, playing in 3 or more events benefits EVERYONE because it increases the value of the WPPR entire league.
-- League standings will be based on the AVERAGE score for each player's top 4 events.
-- So a player can miss 2 of the 6 qualifying events without hindering their standing.
-- Those that compete in all 6 events will have a better chance since we are averaging their top 4 (two will be dropped).
-- If someone only competes in 3 qualifying events, they are still eligible for the playoffs/finals, but a ZERO will be averaged in for their fourth event.

For each of the 6 qualifying events:
-- Participation points (given just for attending and playing) but they are progressive - the more events you play in, the more points you get: 1st qualifying event: 2 Points, 2nd qualifying event: 4 Points, 3rd qualifying event: 6 Points, 4th - 6th qualifying events: 8 Points
-- Each player gets 1 point per person beaten in the event (so the person in 10th place would get 18 points when 28 people play).
-- Next, to help insure accurate playoff/finals seeding, we add BONUS points based on where a players finishes in each qualifier.
BONUS points are as follows: 1st - 15 Points, 2nd - 12 Points, 3rd - 9 Points, 4th - 7 Points, 5th - 5 Points, 6th - 3 Points, 7th - 2 Points, 8th - 1 Point

--> For an event, if three or more people are tied for the same position, the position that will be recorded in the standings for each person is the LOWEST position - this makes the rankings spreadsheet correctly count the number of players that each person beat (for scoring purposes). This will be different than the way the www.matchplay.events website reports it.
Thanks to Mark Beardsley for finding this issue with prior calculations.
So here's an example of this: If the people in positions 11, 12, and 13 are all tied in a 30 person event, they would all be recorded in 13th position in our spreadsheet so that the spreadsheet will show that they each beat 17 people.

--> For an event, if multiple people are tied for spot(s) providing bonus points. The points are divided equally amongst all of the tied persons. Example: If two people are tied for 4th place, they would split the 12 points (7+5) available to 4th and 5th place. So each would get 6 points.

--> For ties in playoffs, results are reported based on seed coming into/entering the playoffs.
