League Format
The Goblin Premier League (GPL) is an 8-week season followed by a playoff week.
- You play 5 games each Friday night.
- You’ll compete as an individual against other players in your group.
- Groups are shuffled each week, so you’ll play with different people throughout the season.
- Your 2 lowest-scoring weeks are dropped, giving everyone a chance to recover from a bad night or two.
- We take a break during the summer because the shop gets too hot for league play.
When: Fridays
- Doors open: 6:00 PM
- League starts promptly at 7:00 PM

Who Can Join?
Everyone is welcome! Our co-ed league is open to players of all skill levels, from first-timers to seasoned pinball veterans.
Whether you’re looking to improve your game, meet new people, or just have a fun Friday night playing pinball, you’ll fit right in.
Playoffs
Everyone makes the playoffs! Your total points from Weeks 1-8 determine which division you’ll compete in. Depending on the number of players, the top 8 typically qualify for Division A, with everyone else playing in Division B.
Playoffs use a PAPA-style bank format. Trophies are awarded to the top three finishers in Division A and the Division B overall champion.
Cost
League dues are $20 for the 9-week season. Your dues help cover:
- IFPA sanctioning fees
- End-of-season pizza party
- Goblin incidental expenses
- Machine maintenance
Payment is made on the first night of league. We do not currently offer online prepayment.
