It’s time to celebrate a true legend in the Eastern Bloc Pinball Coalition – The Ball Goblins in conjunction with the Glenside Machine Shop are proud to host The First Annual Guy Merrill Classic!

The Ball Goblin Pinball Organization (BGPO) is beyond excited to honor the one and only Guy Merrill with a night of high-octane pinball action, camaraderie, and classic vibes at the Glenside Machine Shop. This isn’t just a tournament – it’s a celebration of style, skill, and a lifetime of pinball excellence.

This event is all about capturing the essence of Guy Merrill: bold, timeless, and effortlessly cool. Bring your A-game, soak in the atmosphere, and enjoy a night of pinball greatness like no other.

When asked about the event, Goblin King Apple beamed:

“Guy Merrill is a living legend, and it’s only fitting we give him a celebration that’s as iconic as he is. This isn’t just a tournament – it’s an ode to a man who’s done it all and still makes it look easy. Get ready for a night that’ll feel like the perfect blend of vintage cool and pinball madness.”
