The Ball Goblins held their first Old-School tournament focused on EM’s (and a few early solid states) on Sunday, April 26, 2026. Even with the Mid-Atlantic Pinball Opening the same weekend, the Goblin EM tournament pulled in an unexpected amount of players! Lots of familiar faces and some new faces rounded out the crew of contenders. Goblin King Jason was our TD, who did a fine job as always with the announcing.
Many fierce head-to-head EM battles narrowed down 24 to 8 finalists, who battled it out for Goblin EM glory in a strike knockout format.
Congratulations go out to the winners as follows: In 4th place, Tom, in 3rd Kim, in 2nd Terri, and last but not least, Kevin finished in first place!
We would like to thank all who attended and participated. Special thanks and gratitude to our gracious host, GMS. Stay tuned for the next big Goblin tournament, Hot Goblin Summer III coming in June!!
Some sights and sounds from our old-school tournament!
