  The IFPA, Gameworks and the Chicago Pinball League are pleased to announce the start of a new monthly tournament at the Schaumburg Gameworks location. The tournament will take place on the first Tuesday of each month at 7pm, starting on December 6th. Entry fee is $5 plus the cost of games. Tournament format is a best of 3, single elimination head-to-head bracket. Games and seeding will be chosen at random. All cash from entry fees will be paid out to the top 4 finishers each month, with additional prizes like Gameworks game cards and Stern goodies available as well. World Pinball Player Rankings points will also be awarded for all participants. Pre-registration is encouraged so we can prepare for how many players to expect.
