ABOUT GOBLIN TOURNAMENTS

The Goblins love a good tournament, so we keep the calendar packed throughout the year with events like $5 Friday Flips, Classic EM, Goblin Gals, Split Flipper, and plenty of other excuses to flip silverball with friends. Of course, the crown jewels of the tournament season are our legendary Hot Goblin Summer and Gobtoberfest events!

Tournament formats change from event to event, and we’ll always let you know whether a tournament is IFPA sanctioned or just for bragging rights and Goblin glory.

Even Goblins know when it’s too hot to battle. Since the shop turns into a medieval sauna during the summer, we give the tournament calendar a well-earned nap in July and August.

Ready to join the chaos? Just click the posted Match Play registration link. You’ll need a free Match Play account to sign up. We appreciate everyone registering in advance so we know how many Goblins to expect—but don’t worry if you decide at the last minute. Walk-ins are always welcome!

Tournament entry is paid at the door on the day of the event. We haven’t discovered the ancient Goblin magic required for online payments.
