Get ready for another exciting night of competitive pinball featuring Matchplay qualifying and, for the first time, a Group Knockout Finals format!
We'll start with Matchplay, where players compete across multiple rounds to earn their seed for the finals. Then, in the Group Knockout Finals, players will be placed into four-player groups. After each round, the top two from each group advance, while the bottom two are eliminated—until only one champion remains!
