GMS is our host for all Ball Goblin Pinball Org pinball tournaments. We offer co-ed tournaments, women’s only tournaments and other special tournaments throughout the year.
Our “Five Dollar Friday Flip” co-ed tournaments are open to everyone and are generally held every other month. Doors open at 6:00 pm and tournaments start at 7:00 pm. The shop stays open until the tournament is over. Format will vary. Goblin friends who just want to play but not participate in the tournament are welcome to do so that night. Note: You have the option to “opt out” of IFPA for the November Black Friday $5 Flip on November 28th. Starting in 2026 our Five Dollar Friday Flips will not be IFPA sanctioned, they are mostly just for competitive fun!
Our “Goblin Gals” women’s tournaments are held every other month on Saturday nights at 7:00 pm. Doors open at 6. We are an inclusive group, and ALL women are welcome to participate! Format will vary. GMS is not open for general free play on Saturday women’s nights, the shop is only open to the ladies and their significant other. Goblin gals (only) who just want to play but not participate in the tournament are welcome to do so on ladies nights. Women’s tournaments are IFPA sanctioned, however, you will have the option to “opt out” of IFPA if you wish.
Special tournaments are held three to four times throughout the year. They will be on Friday nights at 7:00 pm unless noted otherwise. We will note in the advertising if these tournaments are IFPA sanctioned or not.
You can pre-register for Goblin tournaments with the link to Matchplay, which will will be posted prior to the event. You will need a free Matchplay account to register. You can pay for tournaments that night, we don’t offer advance online payment at this time. Alternatively, you may register in person the night of the event as well.
