Ball Goblin Pinball Org held its 3rd Annual Hot Goblin Summer Tournament on Saturday, June 20, 2026. Thanks to the beautiful weather—and to everyone who brought in extra fans—the shop stayed warm and comfortable.

Twenty-one players battled through 10 rounds of qualifying, with the top eight advancing to an intense finals competition. After several hard-fought matches, our top four emerged. Congratulations to Keith for taking 4th place, Tuna for 3rd, Stefano for 2nd, and Eric for claiming 1st place!

A big thank-you goes out to everyone who helped make the tournament a success. Our awesome Tournament Director, Jason, aka the “Goblin King,” once again kept the action moving from behind the microphone. Tom created the fantastic custom medals for our winners. Sue coordinated the decorations and food, and last but certainly not least, Kevin was on hand throughout the day to keep the machines running smoothly whenever issues arose.

We’d also like to extend our sincere thanks to Giuliani’s Deli for supporting local community events and providing an incredible sub tray for our players. If you’re in the area and looking for a great meal, they’re just around the corner from the shop—be sure to stop by and check them out!

Thank you to everyone who participated in our annual summer tournament, and a special thank-you, as always, to our generous host, GMS.

Have a wonderful summer, and we’ll see everyone back at the shop this fall for more Goblin Pinball!
