ABOUT OUR TOURNAMENTS

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 generally held every other month on Friday nights at 7:00 pm. Doors open at 6.  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. Starting in 2026 our Five Dollar Friday Flips are NOT IFPA sanctioned, they are just for competitive fun!

Our “Goblin Gals” women’s tournaments are generally held every other month on Saturday nights at 7:00 pm.  Doors open at 6.  We are a friendly and inclusive group. The shop is not open for general free play on Goblin Gal Saturdays. Format will vary.  Women’s tournaments are IFPA sanctioned, however, you have the option to “opt out” of IFPA if you wish.

Co-Ed and Special tournaments are held throughout the year. They will be on Friday or Saturday nights at 7:00 pm unless noted otherwise. We will note in the advertising if these tournaments are IFPA sanctioned or not. Format will vary.

You can pre-register for Goblin tournaments with the link to Matchplay, which 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.

Note: If you don’t want to play in a tournament, the shop is open for freeplay on Friday nights during tournaments/league starting at 6 pm. We close promptly at 10:00 pm unless a league/tournament is running a little over time. Please be courteous and do not start any more games when you see we are closing for the night.

Ball Goblin Pinball Org endeavors to maintain an environment in which everyone is treated with respect, decency, and dignity. We will NOT permit discrimination or harassment by ANYONE at GMS, whether they’re on our league, playing in a tournament or just at the shop for freeplay. Please refer to the GMS Guest Guide, IFPA Conduct Code and the Diversity and Inclusion Code.
